Ryan.  I found out about the Premium when I was getting the #127;  there may be hope yet from this owner.

If there is and you decide to pass let me know and it will have a new home

I'm in florida too,  I frequent gun shows a lot and have never even seen another elite other than mine.  Not to mention a premium,  that's probably kept inside a gunvault mini safe and then inside another safe lol!

The premiums actually came with their own glass/wood display case so it would be a shame to keep it in a vault.

* * * As far as price goes in November I purchased one NIB from a collector who bought three when he heard they were being discontinued. I probably paid a little too much at $2,500 but don't regret it and am very happy with it as a EDC. * * *

Ryan:

Now that is what I call "Going First Class" -- using an Elite as your EDC!

Jason:

Welcome to the Forum. My advice would be to follow Ryan's lead and use that "Pedigreed Pup" as your EDC. Life is short. "Go for the gusto."

Will do!   

The Elite Premium!

[BlueC2]

Will do!   

Thanks Ken!

KJ--- wow--- very nice--- never seen a Premium either in person or in pix.

I have one of the "regular" Elites LNIB in my safe.  I have 2 other R9s for eveyday carry but I do get the Elite out every once in a while and drool over it---- then it goes back in the safe.  I've never fired it.  The production date was Feb '10 according to the fired case envelope which I think makes it one of the last (if not the last) Elite made--i should check with Maria to find out that for certain.

I wonder how well those Rembrandts shoot at the range.

Smooth as silk, I would imagine.

Probably about the same as a standard.

Yep!  Smooth as silk.

EDC with an EP.....pretty much my hero. If you get a chance it would be great to see a pic of #10

Lee.  Like Ryan, would love to see the #10 EP.  I know it will look like the #15 of 16 above, but will be good to see that #10 on the frame.  If the owner of #1 of 16 or any others of the 16 are around, please chime in.

Wow carrying an elite premium, you're a braver man than me.  I have a regular elite and I think I'm gonna trade it for other pistols or sell it soon as I don't wanna carry it and potential do damage to it.  Will probably get a standard r9 and carry that.  But you sir carry first class that's awesome.

I have shot my #2 Elite, and carried it at times.  I probably shouldn't because of the "collectors" value -- but perhaps being a carry gun for me makes it more valuable as a colletor's item.
