I'm thinking longer barrel as well.  Like the look better.  Like the look of the Rohrbaugh, even better!

Every time I see that short barrel it reminds me of a "Downsizer" even though it is a totally different concept and design. I would like to compare the two Boberg guns together.

tracker.  An overlay is shown of the two guns in the bottom image.  You may have seen this before.

Thanks, KJ; I had seen it before but it has been awhile. It would be fun to handle them comparatively. The longer barrel would be perfect for one of the new miniature laser sights. There is the new Stingray SR1 from Armalaser and a new one due out this year from Viridian, possibly green.

The more I look at it, the Shorty, the more I like it as well.  This may be one gun where you have to have both.   ;D

It could very well qualify as an overdose item.

Boberg (Arne) states he would be happy if they were producing guns by June, but not to hold him to that.  They still have 100 lbs of steel that needs to machined into production fixtures.

This is a response from my email to Arne, 1/3/10.

His reply was 100 lbs.  I didn't question him back.

My intent was one of sarcasm. News regarding R45 and Boberg is WAY too advanced compared to product availability. That is why I stated "22nd Century".

I know.  It's probably going to seem like that long and is why I stated, could be.
