Remington RP9

Post by Darrell »

MAC test runs the new Remington RP9, and has almost immediate problems:

Looks like Remington didn't do any testing or QC on the gun. Geez. More vids and analysis at the Firearms Blog:

Sounds like they didn't learn anything from the R51.

The bought an existing design and supposedly hired the Rohrbaugh Bros to run their facility in NC.

Now, that facility has always had QC problems and I don't know if the R Bros are running it/being allowed to run it properly

Dang it. Wrong gun. Disregard. What I really want to see is the Rohrbaugh 45 - beautiful design and one of the best feeing guns I ever felt

With the still unresolved engineering flaw in the R51, I wonder what design flaws this one has.
Is it coming out of the Huntsville plant?
