I carry a Rohrbaugh . Great little pistol, Light, small, powerful, and of the highest quality. It is a work of engineering art.

Thanks, Chief.

How do you carry it?

Are there IWB holsters for this thing or do you have to go generic?

As mentioned, pricey, yes, but we're talking about a primary carry gun. Price is pretty far down my list, within reason.

While all true, it's also true that they where never intended to be fired much.

It is my understanding that you can fire the little Rohrbaugh, you just need to change the recoil springs every couple hundred rounds.

Yea when you fire it your hand definitely feels it. Reminded me of a Detonics Pocket 9 which I still regret buying..........................Ouch

They are really nice, but I'd recommend a Kahr PM9 for half as much. Great carry gun, reliable and easy to shoot.

If you can live with a heel mag release and no slide lock, then it's a superb little pistol. I've been buying/shooting pocket pistols for 15 years and have yet to find anything with as much firepower that's as easy to carry.

I carry in-pocket with a Meco pocket holster that's superb or in a Bullard belt rig. Mine has been perfectly reliable over about 400 rounds. I put around 150 through it to make sure it worked and now only run a mag or two through it about every other month.

Well, the first thing they need to do is get a fucking better picture of the pistol on that horrid opening flash thingamajig.
