Arne Boberg Minnesota Customers

If you are in the area, I know it can be tempting to swing by our facility in White Bear Lake. However, the City has mandated that we accept visitors by appointment only. Any local sales can be handled by our local gun shops, which will be listed on this site once we start production. While our manufacturer's license allows us to sell guns to visitors right at our facility, we will not be staffed for that, at least initially. When we are not shipping out every gun we sell, and actually start hav… Continue

Arne Boberg California Update

The latest piece I have gotten from the CA DOJ website is that the slide must lock open on an empty magazine. I have a call in to their office asking when this provision was added since it was not in the manual I received from the ATF. I noticed Seecamp, whose slide does not lock open, was on the CA gun Roster. They must have gotten in under the wire before the law changed again. The CA DOJ office does not put you on hold - they put you right into voicemail. We will see if I hear back from them… Continue

M XR9 4" Barrel

Initially, an XR9 with a 4" barrel was proposed and some discussion followed about producing an XR9-S. It appears that the latter took off first. I am interested in the original XR9 with 4" barrel and rail forward of the tigger guard. Both models are exciting, but the idea of having a full size barrel in a pocket-pistol is really interesting.

Matthew Moore Barrel

First off I just want to say well done to Boberg for their innovation. I have been brainstorming for the last year as to how to get a longer barrel in a compact gun and had some thoughts so when I saw this I was really excited. I like both the standard length and the Shorty, but I am curious as to weather or not you could put the 4" barrel (or maybe even a longer barrel) into the shorty. Having the barrel hang out a little would not be a big deal for conceal carry. And if you can, what about put… Continue

Arne Boberg California Compliance - Proposed Manual Safety

I thought I would dig into what it would take to make the XR9-S California compliant.

Arne Boberg Thanks to all the new members and visitors!

In the first day since the broadcast e-mail announcement this site had gotten over 2500 new visitors! I really appreciate the positive feedback I have received so far. I especially appreciate the feedback on misspellings. One note on our Store - it may have some outdated images on it since it has some significant construction remaining, including having all our accessories and spare parts on there. Continue

Lurch Serial Numbers

Will the feds let you use a special designation for the first 100 pistols? Say, starting with 100, or "B"? I plan on ordering one just as soon as your web site allows me. How will we pay you with the order? Continue

Arne Boberg Progress Report

I have just finished the Shorty and will be taking it to the range in about 10 minutes. I've already put 80 rounds through it but will be cycling about 200 more rounds through it, half of which is +P ammo. I will also be doing an Industrial Design facelift on this gun to improve the looks. I am just not ready to offer this on the market yet, but I am making progress every day... Continue

Arne Boberg Back from Shot Show 2008 with lots of great feedback!!

A lot of comments after the 2008 Shot Show and many from chat rooms has led to the development of the Boberg XR9 Shorty. It was suggested that the Boberg XR9 Shorty be compared to a more popular gun, such as the Kel-tec P38T. The XR9-S (Shorty) will be able to deliver up to 480 ft-lbs of energy, more than double the maximum energy of the P3AT. Continue
