Anybody own a Rohrbaugh?

Caught this ad in American Handgunner mag. and it seem s like the top of the heap for a pocket pistol.

9mm, and oh, ITS $1000.00

I like my Walther PPK/S and my Kel-Tec P3AT. as far as everyday carry.

I thought the Kahr's were expensive,...

I looked into these one time and read a few aritcle and reviews that said the springs were very suspect and needed to be changed after 500 rounds or so.

For the money, I should be able to just shoot the hell out of it,and keep routine maint. didn't expect to have to "replace" parts every x number of rounds on those fancy-dancy pistols. 

Thanks Hazcat.

I've heard good things, but yes they are expensive (They have carbon fiber grips  ). I'd love to have a pocket pistol in 9mm (twice the punch as a .380), but for the same price I'd go out and buy a Glock 26 for concealed carry and a Glock 21 for the night stand.

I never heard of it but if I need more power than a .380, I think it's going to be a .45 for me. I have an extreme dislike for 9mms. The only way to get decent performance out of it is using higher than standard pressure loads. They try to make it perform like a .45 but it can't.

Looks like not only bad location but SMALLER than most "stupid European mag releases.

I've handled them at SHOT, but never shot one. The price point is steep, and I'm not sure that a 9mm in that size package is such a great idea. The Kel-Tec P11 is a handful (it's also a lot cheaper if you want a little pocket 9mm). My pick of that particular litter would be Wilson Combat's ADP, slightly larger but a good shooting little 9mm.

Well, aside from the fact that I'm a .45 ACP fan, the $1000 price tag Is too rich for my blood. If I were going to get a pocket Nine, I'd save a bit of money and go with a Kahr PM9. But instead, I'll get the Kahr PM45 when I'm ready to get that pocket pistol.

Not a bad looking gun (especially in OD Green), but for my money I'd go get a Glock 26 and spend the extra $100 or so on range time. Safety on the ADP looks a little strange too - don't know if I would like that.
