Called the factory today and the Blue VZ Carbon Fibers are in. Ordered them ( $90 big ones with S&H ) and they're on the way!

Good to know Rohrbaugh is now stocking them.
I have an upcoming project they would be perfect for! :)

P.S. When asked, Maria stated that there is no Rohrbaugh Crest engraved on the grips either. THAT would have been the cherry on top!

That would be a nice addition.

checkering would be a nice touch as well.

When I put myself on the waiting list last month, Maria said that they would offer them with checkering but didn't give me a time frame. I decided to cave and get the smooth ones for now and buy another set once the checkered ones are ready. Maybe I'll order the standard VZ carbons with checkering (if they ever offer those) for a little variety...

I ordered a set of the Blue CF grips today. I too will order a set of the blue grips if the checkering becomes available.

Personally I think the checkering ruins the look of the two-tone (CF included) VZ grips. Functionally I guess there may be some benefit, but I dont seem to have problems holding on to the uncheckered grips. Different strokes I guess.

I have not looked at any checkered 2 tone R9 grips G10 or CF in person.
I am sure it would impact the look with the checkering.

I think smooth grips look better too, but I try to put function over form (to an extent) for my carry guns. I live in FL so it's pretty hot and humid 80% of the year. Grip isn't a problem when it's cooler or dry, but once it gets over 93 with 95% humidity a small, smooth pistol starts to become as difficult to hold onto as my tax refund.

Correction: Just spoke to Maria and she said she was mistaken, the blue CF grips will not be offered with checkering. I guess I'll make the smooth ones work.

Great looking Carbon Fiber grips, Adam; looking forward to the photos of the Cogan finished R9.    :)
