If I haven't done so, welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on getting an order for an R9.  You'll now be counting the days till it arrives.   :)    :)

Are you a dealer?  I am curious because R9 owners usually don't part with their guns.

Correct, but I sold it to help finance a Stealth that was already in play with Tom Watson. I then bought the CF grip early gun on gunbroker, so I own two R9s at the present time.

With due respect, I recall you sold an early Farmingdale as you've mentioned several times.  Anyway, glad you now have two.  I'd have two if I can find an early mint,  never fired, with CF grips, blue or black with sights, Farmingdale.   Don't want much; but if I'm wanting, I can want for the rarest.

Maybe someone will read this and give me a call.  Right, I know that will happen.  However.................stranger things have happened.

Again, correct. I had a Farmingdale one tone gun (in 300 S/N range) that I sold two years ago. That is the one that got away that I miss the most.

Since I've learned about the Farmingdale, I/ve been searching.

You are not alone. Selling my Farmingdale gun was not  one of my great moments. The only mitigating factor is that when I sold my Farmingdale, to buy a vintage Winchester, I was unaware that CF grips and one tone frame/slide would no longer be available.

No. It was a beauty, though. It was a model 55, with half magazine, deluxe wood in 25-35 caliber.

The good news is that I made money on the transaction.

It is good to make a profit.

Yeah; profit is good. However, you can probably tell from my posts that I buy and sell a lot. Not a problem when you are making money or heading toward something you reallly want. But there are too many times when I wish I had not sold a gun and lived to regret it. My early Farmingdale R9, vintage Colt .38 Super in orginal box, ASP.....the list goes on.

My FFL dealer called today from Albuquerque and said my new Stealth R9 had been delivered.  I'll pick it up Monday.  I'm excited  ;D  Thanks again Mr. Tom --- you are a saint and a helluva nice fellow!
