There were further concerns that all functioning issues should have been addressed by the petitioner after the first meeting. The judgement was that the Robinson Armament Co.

The following Board Members voted to disapprove #18112 Robinson Armament Co.

Page 20 It was discovered that the Board did not have complete accurate information when making a determination on Petition #18112 - Robinson Armament Co. XCR-L at the 8/27/18 meeting. The Board s denial for inclusion was based on the assumption that the firearm failed to perform at two consecutive meetings. It was later discovered that the firearm only malfunctioned at the second testing and the firearm had inadvertently been loaded with ammunition it was not chambered for at the first testing. Based on this new information, the Board voted unanimously to reverse the 8/27/18 decision to NOT include, and instead tabled the Robinson Armament Co. XCR-L. The Robinson Armament Co. XCR-L can be again submitted for consideration for testing/review at a subsequent meeting. There was a motion to adjourn the 9/20/18 meeting at 10: 20 AM
