Boberg XR9-S Update (could start shipping this week)

[CZ-Guy]

Just a quick update on the Boberg XR9-S (Shorty). It looks like the first batch will start shipping in the next week. We should start seeing some reviews crop up soon.

However, full production is still getting ramped up. Boberg will still be filling "pre-orders" (including mine) for a few months before general availability.

You might want to include a link to his website.

I know Arnie had a thread here waaaaay back, but I bet there are a lot of new users who know nothing about this gun.

Bah, I'll do it.

Lol. It's the simple things. Thanks.

Not really impressed w/ it. Nearly a $1000 for a pocket 9mm? I'll stick w/ Kel-Tec.

To each his own. However, Rohrbaugh does a decent business with $1,000 pocket 9mms, and they don't have the muzzle/energy benefits that the Boberg XR9 does.

I've been following Arnie's story since he first posted the video of his prototype/Shot Show booth several years ago. It's an incredibly innovative design. IF it proves reliable and he can make enough of them early on to stay in business, I'd say he has a winner on his hands. However, those are both BIG "ifs".

I'm rooting for him! I'd buy one if I had the money, which I don't right now.

Very cool design. Innovative.

I wish him all the best! What a great looking gun. Obviously it's only my opinion, but I think he's on to something..

The only gun that you can actually follow HKs manual on reloading the magazines!
