There is a little misinformation in the listing but none the less a VERY nice gun.

I noticed that also, but I think he meant well.

The 106 is very nice, indeed.

This vintage has a special cachet but is there anyone on this forum who thinks that R9s of this era are made as well as they are today?

Tracker.  I won't be saying yes to your question as I do know the recoil spring is better.  There are other things, probably, that we don't know about that is better, and some may know what they are.  You bring up a very good point.  I'm just intrigued by that 106 number and that it is available to buy and supposedly unfired.

R106, that is; looks like a nice specimen if someone wants to add it to their collection. i think the slide and ejector have been beefed up from then, from personal observation. The spring is better also but didn't cross my mind, not to mention the newer magazine springs.

Yep!  I keep forgetting the R.  Makes a big difference.

Also, not that it is relevant to anything but there is a lot of grease on the rails, visible through the slide pin hole.

I've got two older R9's, R340 - Deer Park and R138 Farmingdale. I replaced both recoil springs and all of my magazine springs. Along with replacing all grip screws. I've shot at least 50 rounds of 124gr GD through each one without a failure of any kind. Needless to say, I don't think twice about carrying either one.

If my memory serves me right,there were some slight changes done when the earliest (gray anodized),went to R prefix Farmies.
Then another when Farmie went to the Deer Parkers..

Spring changes,both mag and recoil,were done a bit later,and of course these can be retrofitted to any pup..

You should sell your "R138" to Richard! ;D

If anyone has R143, let me know..... ;)
