 Yes, I do not think the number sold will be a high number either. The compact 9mm Market is a rather crowded field now.
Many will have trouble justifying the high cost.

Looks like this Tribute didn't sell; at least not on GunBroker.

Can someone tell me what the Tribute is going for, when ordered from the factory?  Also does anyone know if they are making the Tribute in the R380??

What a beautiful looking gun!!

Dom.  The list price is $1395 and your dealer can get it for you for $1350, at least,  that's the quote my dealer gave me last week; and no, the Tribute is not made in the .380.  I agree, one beautiful pistol, for sure.

What would be the difference between a tribute and getting a regular R9 with the NP3 coating from Robar?   Minus the Tribute being a more "rare" piece to own, would one hold up any better or be more durable than the other?

The Tribute is an R9 with the silver frame and VZ CF grips, and no NP3 coating.  The R9 with NP3 coating has the internals and external parts coated with the exception of a few parts.  This finish makes cleanup very easy and helps, in most cases, firing many different brands of ammo.  The Tribute, however, is one beautiful pistol, as stated above.
