Classy manufacturing and customer service right there. 
Did they hire the engineers from Yugo, the car guys?

The guy in customer service was fine. He actually was very helpful. But I can see people calling up all the time about the set screw missing. Remington would have been better off putting a screw in there with loktite just so people wouldn't call about it.Classy manufacturing and customer service right there.

^^^ This isn't the first time I've heard credible rumors that Remington is farming out various aspects of RP9 production and/or using parts from other pistols to lower production costs.
This tendency underlies the ability of U.S. importers such as CAI to cobble together so many AKlones from surplus parts and sell them so cheap. I've heard from credible sources that you can still get virtually any Yugo part. 
Back to the topic at hand...
IMHO Remington can't be making much of a profit on the RP9 at the prices they've been selling them for. They may be keeping the production line running merely to fulfill their obligations to their vendors (re: the rumors above). This may not bode well for the future of the product.
Probably not, but perhaps it would be better if they had, given the Communist tendency to continue producing and stockpiling spare parts beyond any reasonable need.armoredman said:
