The Covert is an aftermarket mod like the Cogan. 

Someone got a great deal for this one last week.  $956 with chrome, grip extension, checkering, and sight dots drilled in.  Doesn't look like it has the ported barrel some Cogans have.

Thank you, Phil.  After I posted my request, I read one of Eric’s posts, from a a couple of years back, and learned about the Covert being aftermarket.
Now I know about the Cogan, from you.  The Covert is a beautiful gun and I bet the Cogan is as well.
I have to stop somewhere. Otherwise, I would soon be looking at different periods in the development of this great firearm, if I were trying for a complete collection.  That would become an expensive proposition. 
Maybe I’ll just keep looking for that coyote.
Thank you for the information!

Dog-gone-it!  I just found a couple pictures of that Cogan. I think it’s pretty hard not to have that gun in the collection!

Just wondering...How many Coyotes were made?

It is in that post from Eric a couple of years ago, and I can’t remember off-hand., was it 7 to 10?
And you know the danger, there are a couple different colors. :-)

Post was in March 2017. Seven or eight were made.  You’ve owned some great guns, Norm. I bought my first Stealth from you, in 2012, I believe.  Which are your favorite models?

I just saw your post, Eric,in this thread, and I’ve already resigned myself. I’m going to have to add a Cogan and Covert.
Dog-gone, you, and your works of art! They’re gonna lead me into the poor house. Do me a favor, all you guys; don’t tell me about any other models!

I am partial to a Stealth with VZ Black/Grey checkered grips with a black mag extension. I sold long ago a Coyote & a Cogan with ports that I still kick myself in the ass for selling. I had over 28 Rohrbaughs & a safe I couldn't close any longer.

Someone came up with a list of all the models and it’s got to be over a hundred, so you’re definitely going to be broke trying to get one of each. It’s not just standard or Stealth.  It’s sights or no sights.  Farmingdale or Deer Park.  R9S or R9.  R or no R serial.  No USA slide, USA slide, U.S.A. Slide. Standard, Steath, Stealth Elite, Special Forces, Tribute, “Silver”.   I have a “Custom”, which is a Special Forces with a green slide.  I think it’s one of only two.  Elite Premiums were serial number 1-16 of 16 and came in a Rohrbaugh display case.  Rohrbaugh knives were black or stainless and plain blade or serrated, so there’s four more to buy.  Another grail gun is the factory engraved and gold accented 3000.  There were a bunch of custom serial numbers with peoples’ initials.  An NRA auction item with a custom serial.  The guns from the Rohrbaugh manual cover photo. 

Norm, if it makes you feel better, that Coyote you let go wasn’t a real Coyote.  The coating was so thick the slide wouldn’t function.  The barrel wasn’t black like the Coyotes.

Thank you.  What was the “Silver”?   You know, the more I think about it, I saw that listing for the Cogan that you noted.  I remember seeing the finish and just not knowing what to think about it, purely because I didn’t know what I was looking at. What a shame.

I think the Silver was an experiment to see how an all silver frame and slide would look.  They came out before the Tribute.

I’m thinking I probably should have bid on that one.  The shop is about fifteen minutes from my house.

Yep!  Would be a nice addition.  Especially when you don’t have to wait 6 months to year for some custom work. Sometimes longer!

    About six Rohrbaughs ago, I bought my first one from you, Norm.  I quickly had it prepped by a gunsmith for long-term storage and tucked it away.  I really didn’t know what I had.
     I just took it out an hour ago, (time to change the anti-rust pouch), and looked at it.  What an absolutely perfect, late model, (6000s), NIB Stealth.  A very belated, Thank You!

I have sold many beautiful Rohrbaughs. They are a true masterpiece of a gun. Enjoy it & thanks!

Thank you as well, Eric, for creating these awesome guns.  I am a collector, so I hate to shoot it, but at age sixty, I guess it’s time to enjoy something nice, instead of “saving it”.
Best wishes, all; happy, glorious fall.

We really did enjoy creating these firearms Chris. It was, and still is, fun!

Enjoy the holiday season now upon us everyone!

. . . . . and stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings too.
