Boberg XR9 Pistol

[jdman]

I want one!!

Me too, in 10MM!

I imagine it's a long shot but a 10mm would be friggin awesome.

 

[misanthropist]

That would be disturbingly awesome...I would buy a 9mm for Erin and a 10mm for me.

I would like to buy the 9mm Boberg "long" pistol. The use of the lifter to control and chamber a round hasn't been seen in a pistol since (I believe) the Mars. Good to see it in use in a modern pistol. I hope you can get going in Canada.

I'm interested too, keep us informed if you find a dealed up here.

 

[Shazam]

very interesting design. Any idea on price points?

 

[mikey454]

ive heard around $1100-1400

 

[abboberg]

The price is shown on our website at 849 USD - that translates to 891 CAD, but there are export taxes and fees on our end that I haven't fully nailed down yet.

This sounds good, so umm, how about a 10MM?
Any plans for different calibers?

Gun looks nice.

Obviously, the gun will have to prove itself in the marketplace first as a 9mm Luger, then we can start thinking about what order we would release other calibers. While I have spoken about this on THR Forum, I can't hot link here; so I will offer a summary. I personally would love to have a 10mm Auto pocket gun, 6+1 capacity, 21 oz weight, 5.9" overall length, 1" thick and 4.0" barrel (add .20" to both numbers for Canada), but, because of market size, we would probably first offer a .40 S&W and then a .45 Auto (5+1 capacity, 22 oz, 5.6" overall length, 3.7" barrel (add .5" for Can.), 1.07" thick and 3.95" ht (XR45-Micro) just so it can be the very smallest .45. Remember, this is all speculation and rough estimates.

You can link to pages, but just take away the www part of it, or space it out, so the link isnt hot.

A 10MM would be awesome, as would a .45..... Cant wait to see these hit the streets of Canada.

 

[P12]

If you can make one in .40S&W, than .357SIG could also be possible, just a different barrel.

Personally I would buy one in 9mm.

10mm would be a beast out of such a small gun. I hope it works out. No one can blame you for thinking responsibly with your business.

 

[misanthropist]

I can and fully intend to...where's my 10mm?

Funny, I actually see more support for 10mm on Canadian gun boards than US boards. I wonder why that is? Anyway I can see why the 10 is never a big first priority...but it's awesome, so screw it. Build it!

FWIW you can hotlink, just not to non-supporting dealers. The High Road doesn't sell anything as far as I know.

I did send a PM to "Greentips" almost a week ago and have not heard from him. I am assuming that your supporting businesses are Canada-based only.

If they ship to Canada it's a no-go. Otherwise I can't see it being an issue. Links to other forums are fine AFAIK.

He's been at SHOT Show.

There's at least one US-based site sponsor.
