If I was one of the Brother's R...I'd be giving a clue or at least communicating with the ones who, more than anything, keep their product in the limelight....Let's face it, not much magazine coverage of the R9...a simple advertisement don't get it done...anyone who wants to know about the Rohrbaugh comes to this forum. Lots of competition out there.... If I was in the business, I'd be giving some information to those who support me....hello....I see the dude from VZ grips on here...and I bought his grips, not just for the R9, but for a 1911 as well...just good business. Can someone who speaks to the Brothers communicate this? Or are they oblivious and uncaring to us who support them?
Oblivious and uncaring? No.
I've had the pleasure of meeting both of the Rohrbaugh brothers face-to-face, and they care. Deeply.
But they told me they do not have much time to monitor internet forums, as they are a small shop, and keep busy producing the absolutely best product they know how to build.
Part of Karl's frustration was summed up thus:
"Everybody with a computer is an expert". So much mis-information, that fighting it is fruitless.
The Rohrbaughs appreciate us, their knowlegable customers, to straighten out those that don't have a clue.
I told Karl there is only one thing I wish was different about my R9- I wish it was
my name engraved in the side instead of his! He got a kick out of that.....
