Hi Guys,
New member here, first post. I bought my R9 last December new and while at the range last March I sheered the pin in half. I did not realize this until I tried to take down the gun to clean it that evening. I was able to get the pin out (in two pieces) but I can't get the slide off and don't want to force it. It has been sitting in my safe for the last 6 months while I wait for the Rohrbaugh/Para/Remington thing to shake out. I am frustrated that I spent $1200 on a gun that I owned for 3 months before it became unusable. I don't mind the pin damage, this stuff happens with guns, I just would like to get it repaired. I have no doubts about the quality of the gun, but huge doubts about its service future. I have fired 150 rounds through the gun with no problems and I love the firearm but it's no good if it needs repair. Should I wait even longer to see if Remington chooses to service the guns or should I take it to a local gun smith? Thoughts from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I love the gun and the forum (and would be willing to contribute to a user sponsored site if need be). Thank you!
