For those who have had problems...

I thought I would post an update on my gun. It's going back to Rohrbaugh for the second time. As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm still have FTF problems and for the first time ever, a FTE. This was with the recommended Silvertips.
I'm not sure what Karl could possibly do to the gun to correct this, but let's see.

Shucks Harry - I am sorry you have had so many problems.  It seems very unfair!

I do hope that not only will you have the definitive fix but also that you (we) can know what might have been at the root of things.

Thanks for the kind words Chris. It's tough for me because I've followed this gun with enthusiasm from the very beginning, long before it went into production. I wanted one badly but held off initially so that any potential bugs could be sorted out in the first year of production.
Now when I read about all of the happy owners with guns that are flawless, I can't help but feel left out and frankly just a bit jealous. Heck, some people have even said they can't make their R9 malfunction even when they purposely limp wrist it.
I honestly don't know what could possibly be wrong with my grip (if that's what the problem is). I've tried everything I can think of. I've been shooting for well over 30 years and this is the only gun problem I've had that I can't seem to get resolved.
I need a shoulder to cry on....

This is very interesting reading and I have a couple questions for the veteran forum contributors. Those of you familiar with Rohrbaugh's QA habits, I think it would be very informative to learn steps taken when defects in workmanship or materials occur. Repeditive complaints of same nature should diminish over time. Any comment on this subject?

My other question. When problems occur and Rohrbaugh determines it is their error, do they pick up all shipping cost?:

Thanks, Fred

Fred - I'd say that any so called repetitive prob's indeed do diminish over time - the cracked slide problem was one such example and quite short lived in scale.  Not many others I can recall other than perhaps again a short spell when the main pin had a problem, which was soon corrected.

I believe they pick up the tab for shipping in most cases but I will say this - Eric has told me that some guns he has had back behaved flawlessly and still they have covered costs.  This gun does seemingly and quite simply, just not perform for some people - the reasons have to be in part speculation but I must say, if on test at the factory a gun is fault-free then there is little the Bros R can do!

R9SCarry,

Thank You. I appreciate your feedback.
