Boberg XR9

Anyone else see this yet? Looks like a neat, innovative (and Canada legal ) sub-compact.

Here's a link to the spec's, this could be very interesting, 4.2" barrel, very compact, sweet!

Yup.

This is at least the 3rd thread.

I wonder if they're in production yet?

Dang, I was going to do a search and make sure this wasn't a dupe but I got lazy. Now I'm one of those "have you seen the new RFB / Masada / etc." guys

Talked to a couple guns stores in the Vancouver just to make sure they've got a heads up on things. Would be sweet to get these in. Would be awesome to get them in 45ACP too...

The manufacturers are making it a point to keep the US MSRP around $1000 so it should be available for only about ~$1400 if we can get a regular importer. I'm really, really looking forward to this...although I can't help the feeling that the RCMP is going to do everything in their power to keep this out of Canada.

I can't see any reason why the RCMP would have anything against this pistol. It isn't scarier than anything else, nor based upon anything scary. It's a pricy little number, certainly smaller than similarily barrelled guns, but still meets all the same requirements as any other restricted pistol.
The action makes me a little leery of putting out that much $$$, just seems like a lot of stuff going on, lots of little parts, etc. The site certainly makes it seem like a reliable gun geared toward CCW, but even the day before a recall Ruger has never called their guns unreliable and dangerous.
It's your $$$ though, if the newest, fanciest thing is what you want, this'd probably be it.

Although it meets all the legal requirements its very, very small. The RCMP will most likely argue that even though the barrel is long enough it's still a "pocket pistol". Maybe I'm a pessimist but I can't see this getting over here without quite a bit of RCMP scrutiny.

Which dealer said they were going to bring them in (if/when available)?
I'm in for one!
