Title: ALL Black R9
Post by: Ljutic on February 21, 2011, 07:25:45 PM

Love my Stealth.  Would love it more if it was totally blacked out.  Any chance we'll see an R9 Midnight version anytime soon?

Rumor has it there is an new all black model in the works called CI, Covert Invisible.

If you already have a Stealth, it may be less expensive to have it refinished as opposed to buying a new one.

Wilson Combat - Armor Tuff
AP&W - Black Chrome

It's just a thought.

It's not about the money.  I could never part with my Stealth so the Midnight or Covert Invisible would be a sibling.

Since I started this thread I've been hearing the siren song of this bad boy.  Would love to order a custom with a naked slide.  Totally different animal I know, but dang, black is sexy.

You guys can have my share of the all black pistols, they don't float my boat. ;D

I do like 'em shiny as well; something about stainless or chrome.    :D

I have two chrome R9s. I like the all silver look. I did not like the two tone.

I just puchased another R9 and may go all black with this one. Who knows I cannot make up my mind. :D

To each their own.

agreed: all silver or all black. never much cared for two-tone...

Post by: theirishguard on March 14, 2011, 12:58:21 PM

If a all black one is wanted get a 2 tone and then send it Bill Wilson.  Tom

na, we want a "karl" version, direct from the factory.   :P

and now that they're making black mags, that pretty much only leaves the barrel and mag release, doesn't it?

trigger and guide rod are still silver!

Title: Re: ALL Black R9
Post by: Ljutic on March 14, 2011, 03:04:53 PM

Also the hammer, ejector, and extractor.  Still quite a bit of white on the gun.  After seeing the price of the Covert, I think I'm going to wish for something else.  

Title: Re: ALL Black R9
Post by: kjtrains on March 14, 2011, 09:15:26 PM

The price is fairly steep; but all in what you want.

If you buy a factory all black Rohrbaugh, it does not feature frame checkering.

AP&W does an awesome job on frame checkering. It helps with my grip and shot. I can pick the finish of my choice after it has been checkered. It's just my opinion.

I do like that part of their work.  Decisions, decisions.........!    :)

AP&W - checkering front & back strap (40LPI). Chrome plating the entire pistol and two magazines. This was on a R9

I think i paid in the area of $530.00 with return shipping.

Traction grips Universal set that I custom cut to cover front strap, back strap, and mag extension hook.  $4.99 and I still have 3/4 of the kit left over for other projects.  AND it's BLACK.  http://www.tractiongrips.com/catalog/c6_p1.html

40LPI checkering. Chrome plating, Matt rounds and brushed flats. All done by AP&W.

I forgot to say, this one is ported as well. I think the porting was about $100.00.

Title: Re: ALL Black R9

To each his own on the porting of the R9!    :)

Title: Re: ALL Black R9
Post by: Z on March 15, 2011, 08:55:13 PM

I don't have an opinion yet. I have not shot it since it was ported.

AP&W highly recommends it.

Title: Re: ALL Black R9
Post by: kjtrains on March 15, 2011, 09:08:01 PM

I just like the way the R9 shoots now, without the porting.

Title: Re: ALL Black R9
Post by: Z on March 15, 2011, 09:15:41 PM

I don't have any complaints.

I need to get to the range with all the R9s.

I cannot wait to shoot the Farmie!

You will be pleased, I'm sure!

love the finish, checkering and look.  :P

Black is ok for me.  I prefer contrast.  I like two tones.

Or

Black gun with Ivory grips.

Silver gun with Buffalo grips.

That way, Everything stands out and shines in their own right.

Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of black guns.
