Socialwork,

I just sent you a PM.  It just so happens, I'll be coming into town for the next couple of days.  Give me a call.

Bill(billmc) and I did meet up today to shoot his pup...thanks again bill, really appreciated it....the 9 had a bit too much recoil for me...over all fit and finish of the gun is great, I'll let bill provide a full range report

.....may consider it in 380....still up in the air....my LGS only sold one type of 380 ammo..what's up with that?

great time at the range..hope we can get together again Bill

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and just ordered my Rohrbaugh r9s Tribute today... ordered unseen, unfired!

I've read many of the posts here and I too had a little trouble getting one until I reached out to the company.
There are no dealers in my area that sell them so I contacted the company and they were really good in helping
me.  All I had to do was find a FFL in my area give him the deposit and the FFL ordered the gun for me.  There's
a backorder so I have to wait awhile but looking forward to it.

When I went to two different LGS they both tried to sell me other guns such as the Sig P290 I think and the Kahr CW9.
I have a few including the PM9 and knew what I wanted so I was a little put off and did not understand why they were not helping me with what I wanted so I left and went straight to Rohrbaugh for help.

The price I've seen posted here from Socialworker911 ($1395) for the r9s Stealth is actually the price I'm paying for the Tribute plus a small FFL dealer fee.  The FFL I'm using just enjoys guns and shoot so I'm guess the other dealers didn't want to order the gun for me because they would not have a nice markup.... just my opinion.

However, I would like to hear about anyone else who may have had a similar problem.

Welcome to the forum!

I hope you receive your tribute edition soon. I know it took a while for mine to come in and was worth the wait.  :)

A lot of dealers do not know anything about Rohrbaugh............ ::)

Welcome to the forum Buffalo  :)

Unfortunaltely some dealers and retailers just don't get it.  Having been a dealer myself once and in retail for 13 years, you gain customers by taking care of THEIR needs not yours.  Then you have repeat customers.

Selfish dealers like you mentioned just lost a customer.

Glad you stood your ground, you will not regret it.
