Oh no! - Did I screw up while cleaning my R9?

[hjs157]

Gents - while cleaning my R-9, I manually cocked the pistol with the slide removed to inspect for lit and gunk under the hammer.  After gently lowering the hammer, I checked the trigger to find it was somehow disengeged from the hammer.  I re-assembled the pistol and tried the trigger a second time.  It was still would not cock the hammer but then 'clicked' during it's travel which seemed to re-set everything.  I tried the trigger several times with a snap cap in the chamber and all seems well.  My obvious question is "Did I screw anything up?"  Thanks for your patience and response.

Everything is okay

hjs157, welcome to the forum. It sounds like you may have disengaged the sear trigger bar from the hammer and then somehow reset it. You are probably good to go but I would take it to the range and run some rounds through it. If you are still concerned, call the factory.

I would agree with tracker on this, a range trip and if everything functions I would think your OK. If you still need some peace of mind give Maria at Rohrbaugh a call.
Here are there numbers 1-800-803-2233 or 631-242-3175

If it were me, I'd take the right grip panel off to check everything out. If you are not comfortable doing this, I'd wait and call Maria on Monday.

hjs157,
+1 on the welcome to the forum.
Your gun is okay.  You should have a four-page dis-assembly / lube instruction brochure with the paperwork for your Rohrbaugh.  If it's missing, go to the Rohrbaugh website http://www.rohrbaughfirearms.com/, click on the "downloads" tab at the top of the homepage, and download the document.  There is a good picture of the trigger linkage system on the last page.
One thing we Rohrbaugh "veterans" have learned is that you must keep after those little grip screws.  The right grip is critical for function of the trigger system.  A drop of blue Loctite (or clear nail polish will work in a pinch) on each screw is really helpful.
Make sure you use a good-quality hex wrench on the screws.


Keep the screws tight; keep the pistol clean & lubed, and I think you will find your pup a reliable and faithful companion.
I've carried mine on a daily basis for more than five years and wouldn't want to be without it.

Thank you for the clean bill of health (again).  This was actually my second 'did I screw something up' question since I purchased my pistol a few months ago.  Perhaps because of the small size, I have it in my head pocket pistols are less robust than their full grown cousins.  I am pleased to report however that after 50 flawless rounds of assorted loads all looks well on the inside.  There are some wear streaks on the bearing surfaces of the receiver, though I don't expect these to increase much over time.

I'm glad everything is as it should be, the most important thing is that you are confident the pup will deliver if called upon.
