My First Range Report

The picture doesn't show the rubber mallet that mine required for disassembly!

"As to fieldstripping, Eric said that the weird way the gun is held in the manual wasn't done for photographic purposes. It is a way to hold and field strip the gun more easily".  GeorgeH

I wanted to see this *weird grip*, but I see it is the typical grip used for take down of other Semi Auto's.  

Thanks R9sCarry

I think what Eric was refering to is to retract the slide by hooking your finger around the ejection port. I usually don't retract the slide on a gun one handed.

[RJ HEDLEY]

No offence,George..

I understood the *weird grip*statment, it's just that grip is the *norm* for me.   I  was under the impression everyone did it this way.

Great shooting, great guys, and a great firearm.

When I get mine I am sure that I shall be just as proud of it as everyone else is.

Keep up the great messages.

This is the best of all forms.

For what its worth, I shot another 50 trouble free Win White Box rounds Tuesday night.

I also let 3 of my IPSC buddies shoot the gun.  Two were revolver shooters and handled the gun just fine -- although both commented on the stiff recoil.  The third was a 1911 shooter.  He fired 4 shots, completing missing a pie plate at 21 feet.  He said the sights were bad.  I put the last two rounds into the middle of the plate to show him it worked fine.  He commented that perhaps if I spent a bit more money I could get a full-sized gun...

LMAO!  Did you tell him what that little jewel cost you?

It cost him less than a similar quality 1911!

[FJC]

Oh I know, I own a couple higher-end 1911's...

I think this illustrates something we see on the NAA forum all the time.  The market for truly top-quality pocket pistols is really limited to those who are truly serious about their safety 24/7 and understand the resulting compromises one must make.

Duane & Frank:

Those are some impressive results!  Great shooting!

These high-end DAOs, such as the Rohrbaugh, are an acquired taste -- right up there with single-malt scotch, steak tartare, and fine cigars.

I can't say I like Steak Tartare, but I do love my filet medium-rare.

As for the scotch, a good Lagavulin or Balvenie can always be found in my cupboard, along with some good bourbons as well.

A watch is more difficult to make than a wall clock. I understand the comment. I didn't realize the utility of pocketguns until the mid 1980's.
