Tom  I second that .  The R Brothers are absolute gentlemen.

Rohrbaugh hit a home run on this one.

You couldn't ask for better treatment.

I picked up my replacement pistol from the dealer this Saturday.  It is brand new and came with G-10 grips.  The packaging included warranty card and a small envelope signed by Eric Rohrbaugh and in it there were two empty ammo cases.  I don’t know if this is a standard practice.  I haven’t taken it out to the range and I will post once I get a chance to take it out to the range.  Thank you all, Maria at Rohrbaugh and Duane at this forum deserves special thanks.  By the by the serial number is lower than my old pistol with CF grips.

I'm so please everything worked out.  It's a great ending.

Congratulations fo Rohrbaugh for their superb devotion to the customer.

I don't know how many people I've told - I've never had better firearms customer care than from the Bros. Rohrbaugh & Co.

Erich - nice to have you back - hope all is well.

It is good to see that you did not get the short end of the stick.  It would be more incredible to see that the limited lifetime warranty would be extended to any owner of thier product.  Wether the first buyer or the purchaser of the used model.  

Maybe Rohrbaugh would consider a small fee and "recheck and recertify" the warranty for the new owner of a "used" r9.

Erich,

I'm glad you are posting again.  Welcome back.

Hi Guys!
Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. I've been very busy; even too busy to read the list and I have LOTS of catching up to do.

There IS Obligatory Gun Content (OGC) in here, so bear with me.
I've been traveling a lot lately. First to Boston to pick up my son,
Blind Lemon Pledge (yes, the one and only!), King of the Ohio Delta Blues. He's taking rock star lessons on the side at college;^) That's a fun town, if you can get past the funny talkin people. It's college student heaven, if you like those kinds of people;^) Also ate a lobster pot pie and thought I'd gone to heaven. Incredible!

Then, it was off on a journey with my best friend, Ed, who came down to Atlanta from Pittsburgh, and we drove from here to the cradle of American Blues, North Mississippi (specifically Clarksdale, where we visited the grave of Robert Johnson), with a side trip to Memphis. What a cool trip! I wish ya'll coulda come with us. It was heaven. Memphis happened to also have a national BBQ festival/competition on the river walk. It also was the first multistate car trip I made with my R9. The R9 travels great; not even noticeable most times. All went smoothly and we had a great time, ate GREAT food and listened to GREAT music. My idea of fun!

Two gun points to make: 1) the Rohrbaugh Brothers are the finest of the fine when it comes to integrity (I'm teaching my son ALL ABOUT integrity). They know quality and treat others as they expect to be treated. I've dealt with them on a business and personal level several times and they are the kind of people the world needs more of. Nuff Said.

2) While on my trip, it occurred to me that my body heat (not to mention pocket lint) may be a real problem or a perceived one. Is the fact that my R9 in warmed by my thigh (interesting visual;^) causing the SuperLube to migrate outside the designated area, or is it heat resistant?

Also, if I don't fire the gun, how often should it be cleaned/cleared of lint; do I take the grips off and blast that area with air; and if I blast that area of lint only, does the lint go to the lube and muck up the system?
So again, how often should I clean my unfired gun?

Thanks for comments in advance.
It's nice to be back!

Lou,

Nice to see you posting again.

Well, some of us are now thinking about cleaning the carry pistol maybe every two weeks, and using oil instead of grease, telling ourselves that would be OK for one or two magazines.
