Correct; there is no more worthy cause to replace grips.

Now, I just have to find them.  You were very wise checking the forum in those early moringing hrs. to find your Robar.  That's what it will take to find the CFs; timing.

I get up around 3AM seven days a week. This is a remnant of when I used to have to call China and India during their work hours. The joke in my office was that I could not stay awake for a 9PM conference call.

It was a happy accident that I looked at the forum only hours after the Robar R9 had been posted. I had just ordered one the day before and fortune smiled on me with the timing.

I just replaced the standard grips with Hogues, and now i can't get the sear to engage the hammer after the first trigger pull.  When I first pulled the original grips, the pin holding the hammer spring and mag catch came off with the grip.  While replacing those parts, the trigger spring disengaged.  I put the spring and transfer/sear bar back in, put the spring does not put enough upward pressure on the transfer bar to engage  the sear with the hammer.  I have tried to gently bend the spring to achieve more pressure without success.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I will probably call Rohrbaugh tomorrow for advice, and possibly a new trigger spring.

Edit:  Ok, it's official, I'm an idiot.  It seems that the slide needs to be in place to push the hammer slightly back to engage the sear.  I had been testing the function without the slide, seeing how it's such a PIA to install/remove.  I called Rohrbaugh this morning, and they called me back within a couple of hours.  EXCELLENT customer service!

You're no Idiot.   We ALL go/went/are going/ through a learning curve with our R9's.  And we all learn from each other.

That's one of the main purposes of this forum.

I'm sure many just learned from your mistake.

I know I just did.

Thank you.

There are any number of gun boards with members who attempt to pose as "world's leading experts." This Forum, thankfully, is not one of them. Thank you for sharing that information.

This forum itself, as an AGGREGATE of the members, is the "world's leading expert".  Great place, great people.  Love this community.
