Is it really always all about price? The mechanism in-

True but don't MG's pull the cartridge and chamber in a mostly straight line?? The Boberg pulls the cartridge backwards, uphill, changes angles, then chambers. I would suspect the slightest out of alignment of a part or dirt in the mechanism would choke the gun.

Price....it is a beef with me. Way out of proportion for what the pistol. I understand they need to get their investment out of the pistol and be able to stay in business. Granted their are suckers out there who will pony up the money to buy one, like the PMR-30, but there are way too many proven guns on the market much cheaper. Don't get me wrong, I have expensive guns, a FA, 3 Baers and a Bowen Classic Arms Nimrod. Silly to spend that much money on a pocket pistol.

My biggest problem is the BS on their website....the loading mechanism which allows a more compact gun? All of .9" savings over a LC9,not that much of a advantage. My favorite is the tag line.....

"power of a full-sized 9mm/9mm+P pistol in a pocket-sized form" What full size are they comparing it to??? A Beretta, Sig or MP9?? NO, a baby glock....

"Boberg XR9-S Shorty was designed to duplicate the ballistics of the G26 "Baby Glock"

I understand they are hyping the pistol to get sales, I just dislike BS marketing.

In the end I say to each his own, no I am not going to campaign against the Boberg, all I was doing was offering some thoughts on it, well until Tam got pissy, then I went on the attack, a little

Have to say to you Hobie, I didn't mean to turn this whole thread into a bashing fest against Boberg and take away from your original posting asking Hoot if he had handled one.
