Rohrbaugh Appraisal.

[Jiml3]

To respond to the question of price, Rohrbaugh is going for $900.00
and the Kahr PM9 is going for $540.00. That's actual price from one of the more reasonable gun shops on Long Island, NY where both guns come from. The Rohrbaugh for the present time anyway will be holding the high price tag.

Hmmm. I have a PM9. I only shoot non +P in it. I am absolutly impressed with its form, function and concealability. I'm not sure the R9 actually has any real advantadge over the PM9, the dimensions are so close. But, for some reason, I really want the R9. I don't know if its the "I have one and you don't" thing, maybe I just like the idea of a really well machined piece of metal over an injection molded piece of plastic...Every time I decide to order one, I take a few deep breaths, wait a week, shoot the PM9 and carry it and the urge fades again. I don't think I can really justify getting one to replace the PM9, but, more power to you guys that can, it certainly appears to be a very well made piece of machinery with associated pride of ownership.

(I think I said about the same thing about a Chris Reeve Sebenza a few years ago on Bladeforums....Wound up getting one anyway and love it, best folding knife I've ever owned.....Sigh)

Sgt ... I vacillated a while but went in with both feet! I don't have a PM9 .. just a P3AT .. and that is, for what it is, a useful tool. But still not what I want for ultimate pocket carry.

I have always been in engineering and I think that has much to do with my admiration for the R9 .... it also helps me understand why the cost is so high .. the R&D costs are I can guess with some certainty ... astronomic!

Mine is soon to be on the way .. just slightly delayed whilst they implement a small mag alteration. Once I have it here ... I intend when I can find/make the time ... to try and do a fairly exhaustive range test and then a report. Hopefully some chono info too and as objective an analysis as I can ..... which should hopefully help any fence-sitters.

Its kinda funny how I can invite two guys to a gathering, and get to meet Mr. Rohrbaugh, and never get to fire any of their firearms.


Kinda says something about me doesn't it.
