Rohrbaugh R-9s DELIVERED!

Blackhawk · Dec 31, 2003

For the time being, there AREN'T any dealers, AFAIK.

It's not much of a risk, IMO, but a dealer has to buy the gun in anticipation of selling it to some potential customer. IOW, the dealer has to put money up before a sale is made. AFAIK, Rohrbaugh is NOT going the distributor route, and that's where most dealers get their guns.

Rohrbaugh will send paid for guns directly to your FFL, and you can pay the FFL fee directly ($15 for one I found on GunsAmerica.com). So, you order the gun and deal directly with Rohrbaugh, which sends the gun to your FFL for transfer to you. IMO, that's the fastest possible way to get one.

Call or email Eric directly from the info on http://www.rohrbaughfirearms.com/ (go to the contact page that has all the contact info).

Thanks. Are the sights snag-free? Or if you're concerned about that, do you think it would be best to go with the non-sighted model?

Blackhawk · Jan 3, 2004

The sights are snag free. I greatly prefer the sighted model, personally.

Impact Arms lists the Rohrbaugh R-9 Pistol for $945.00 . JR

That's GREAT news, JR!

I wonder how many other dealers are signed up.

Jeff OTMG · Jan 5, 2004

Sprinco USA is a dealer, in fact another Rohrbaugh was sold this weekend at the Dallas Market Hall gun show. Mine was on display.

Blackhawk · Jan 6, 2004

I just noticed that there are 4 Rohrbaugh dealers now.

Take a look at http://www.rohrbaughfirearms.com/dealer/dealer_set.html

meltap · Jan 9, 2004

is the $950 price what we send to Rohrbaugh in addition to any FFL fee or is there a dealer price as well?

Blackhawk · Jan 10, 2004

meltap,

I believe JeffOTMG said the dealer price was $756 earlier in the thread, but that presumes that a dealer is involved in your transaction.

I'd just contact Eric Rohrbaugh for the amount to send if I were you. Maybe they've got dealers set up in Idaho already!

The FFL fee doesn't go to Rohrbaugh in any case. It goes to whomever you use as your FFL transfer agent locally, and that's who sets the fee.

Hey Jeff.

It's been a month now. How's your range report and article coming along, or have I not been paying enough attention again?

I handled Jeff's gun at the Indy 1500. Nice piece and light! As light as my pony and maybe a little larger, but not that much. The quality is outstanding!! Would be my dream gun, if I had a job!!!
Thank you Jeff for showing it off...Greg

Jeff let me dry fire his gun, and it was about what a Seacamp or my Autuaga trigger is, about 7 lbs. He said that he fired 200 rounds threw his gun, got flawless feeding, and was getting about 1 1/2 groups at 21 feet, (he held his pointer finger and thumb together to form a circle!!), it looks like a slightly overgrown Seacamp. He did slip it in his back jean pocket, and it did fit easily. Just examining it, was my highlight of the Indy 1500 gun show!!!

Pendragon · Jan 19, 2004

Ooooooo!

There is a dealer in SATX!

I must go investigate.

This could possibly get me to buy a non SA/1911 autopistol - no small accomplishment.

I was thinking of an LS-9, but this might be better...

jungleman · Jan 19, 2004

I have a colt pocket nine and a kahr Pm9, don't think i want to spend that much money for this pistol

Blackhawk · Jan 22, 2004

Pendragon,

Congratulations on your relocation! Did you find a good position?

Let us know what you find out about the Rohrbaugh dealer there.

incursion · Jan 25, 2004

I shot Jeff's Rohrbaugh today. I think it's very prone to stovepipes because of its weight, so don't flinch when shooting it! The quality is amazing. The recoil was very manageable. I definitely plan to get one of these bad boys. Thanks again Jeff! Sorry about your M96.

Texas Bob · Jan 25, 2004

Will "someone" please give us a "range report." Incursion, did you experiance "stovepipes" while shooting or did you witness this happening to others?

incursion · Jan 26, 2004

I experienced them while shooting the gun myself with Blazer ammunition. I'm pretty sure it was operator error.

Jeff OTMG · Jan 26, 2004

After he experienced two consecutive stovepipes, I fired the remaining three rounds in the mag without problem. I think that it was a problem with the Blazer and possibly limp wristing. Shooting the gun with regular ammo, except for the nearly 20 year old white box, no more problems were encountered.

Texas Bob · Jan 26, 2004

:banghead: So....... Jeff When are we going to get a "range report?" Don't hold off, rember what happened to the Kahr PM9. I believe it was Wiley Clapp(sp?) that got his hands on one of them and "sold" a three page range report, with pictures, to Guns&Ammo, Handguns, and The American Rifleman, all within a 60 day period. Is "this" happening again? :evil:

incursion · Feb 29, 2004

Rohrbaugh called my house on Friday, but I was at work. However, my dad took a message, and they said that they are having issues with the magazine baseplate falling off during firing. They're doing some R&D to remedy the problem, but it will probably take a month.

Mr Jody Hudson · Feb 29, 2004

I look forward to getting mine. However, I look forward, even more, to Rohrbaughs having the bugs worked out. I anticipate a great little pistol when it is ready.

NJ3 · Feb 29, 2004

I should have the $$$ for one in a month or two, hopefully they'll have that issue solved by then.

Wildalaska · Feb 29, 2004

Ive got 4 coming (one sold), Eric said about 2 weeks
