The only mention of "The Rohrbaugh Connection" I can see is within the follow-up comments made about the RM380 by "John Q. Public" who know about Rohrbaugh. I find it odd that the writers/test people at FirearmBlog.Com, when speaking with the folks at Remington, did not hear about the connection of the main design being a Rohrbaugh, and that they themselves seem to be unaware that fact. I wonder if they were told not to mention that part. Well, according to them, the fact that they spoke with "the three designers" and not one mentioned the connection? Really? Whatever, moving on, being they did maintain the aluminum (metal - no plastic) frame, this little pistol may do well if Remington steps up to the plate and produces a fine sidearm this time. I would also like to see them reintroduce their R51 in 9mm once they get things worked out with it. Yes, there are many "bean counters" watching, but if those same "bean counters" want to continue to count beans, they had better start producing Remingtons like they did back in the 1950s, '60s and 70s to bring their company back to life. People who purchase firearms enjoy a finely made firearm and would pay for them too. If they do that, they would be on a track of recovery, which would be good for everyone. It is still an American company. I would love to see them come back to life here in the U.S. and the general public should not "poo poo" every single thing they try without giving it a chance. I'll give them a shot. . . . . I just hope they can find the right formula to pull off a good turnaround after their recent "debacles", as many call it today. I wish them well with the RM380. Time will tell whether they make it happen proudly or not. That's up to them, not us.
Run Little .380 ~ Run! As the old saying goes: "Make it (right), and they will come".
