For Sale-Farmingdale R499
« on: March 20, 2011, 10:41:13 PM »
SOLD Pending Funds.For sale is a used but like new Farmingdale R499.  Will take $1050 shipped for it.  Postal money order only and ships from my ffl to yours.  No california sales.  It's just sitting in the safe so it is time to sale it.  I've never shot it.  The original owner stated it had one magazine through it.  Comes with box, papers, and a right hand pocket holster.  Does not have the carbon fiber grips.  Not sure how to add pictures to this post but email or PM me and I will send them to you (scsigep@yahoo.com).  Thanks.

This is a great deal. That Farmingdale looks to be in perfect condition.

I have a set of blue carbon fiber grips to go along with this beautiful gun! ;D

I am also interested.  Can someone tell me why the Farmingdale models would be more or less desirable than current models?

The so-called "Farmies" are considered desirable by some of us due to the limited number of R9s produced before the factory was moved from Farmingdale to Deer Park.

ENitro.   What Richard said and just to add only 47 were made without the "R" prefix in the serial no.  These are sought after by a few of us.   :D

I guess when these guys get rid of their R9's they get get rid of their etiquite as well.  They fiqure they won't be dealling with any of us anymore anyway.

I had his email address from a while back. I sent him an email, and nothing.

Oh well. What are you going to do? ???

I did the same thing, however, think we ought to lighten up; could be a good reason we haven't heard back.

True. I am not jumping to any conclusions.

I sold him a holster a while back, and he seemed to be a goog guy.

Would be nice to hear back form him though. I hope everything is well!
