Title: Robar
Post by: Shawn on July 06, 2010, 09:20:34 AM: Hello, couple of questions.

Had a Robar for about a little over a week (Now I am officially a stocking Dealer!), but the weather has been terrible (Sugar Land, Tx area) and no chance to get to the range yet to test it.

A couple of observations:
Nice CCW period !
Not too sure about the effectiveness of the sights.
Waiting to see about shooting comfort and accuracy.

Has anyone tried dotting the sights for a better visual or is it not needed?

Any reccomendations on a good front pocket holster. Bought a Nemesis N38, but not too impressed. Also maybe an IWB or OWB too just to have different options?

Welcome to the Forum. I think you will find it to be a collegial and knowledgeable group around here, which is altogether fitting and proper for a forum dedicated to what I am confident you will soon come to consider the finest pocket pistol yet produced.

First thing I did was paint my sights when I got the pistol. Now it doesn't matter. After holding it enough it naturally points really well.

Post by: ccoorreeyy on July 06, 2010, 09:36:14 PM: I have dots milled in with epoxy paint. It helps for target shooting but I dont think it would make any difference if I ever had to use the gun in self defence. It points SO naturally for me. The one I carry is dotted.

Post by: Shawn on July 06, 2010, 11:37:55 PM: I agree with the need to point and shoot with the feel of the gun on a CCW. The sight improvement would be for range practice.

Great info ! Keep it coming.

Post by: Shawn on July 13, 2010, 12:14:41 PM: WOW - Thanks Tracker !!!!!
...for trying to divert business away so quickly from a potential customer who only lives about 25 minutes away.

I didn't even have time to send him a PM with the answers to his questions yet.

Sorry, I forgot but I am sure he would be in good hands with you or Tom. You definitely have the proximity edge.

In my previous post, I should have thanked you for your service to our country. That patch of the 1st Cavalry Division ("America's First Team") in your signature line says a lot.

HOOAH!
