SHOT Show Report

[DDGator]

Well, back from the first day of SHOT and I am exhausted!  I bet I walked 5 miles today.

Here are a few shots from the show.

The Rohrbaugh team in the booth:



Me and Karl, with the R-380:



An R-9 showing the new Alumagrips in OD Green.  These will be an exclusive to Rohrbaugh:



The next limited run R-9 (16 total) wearing the silver alumagrips.  This gun is designed to replicate the look of the original prototype that has been pictured on this forum before:



I gotta go to bed and start all over again in the morning!

How/when can I order some of the O.D. grips?

the OD grips look great, I'm on board for them!!     Tom

I changed my mind.  I now want to order the whole gun, but with the od grips and a silver slide.  I photo shopped (butchered up) what I would love to have.  Where/when can I order this combo?

Whatever they make, someone will want something else.

O.k.  Apparently the Alumagrips will be available very soon -- they are cut and in the annodizing stage at Alumagrips.  Final pricing has not been set yet.

Rohrbaugh will be closed all week.  They will start answering the phones again on Feb. 11.  You can call then to place orders for the grips.

Ccoorreeyy -- you should be able to get that model.  Thats just a standard R-9s (not a Stealth) with the O.D. Green alumagrips.  Call on Feb. 11.

More info on the limited edition.  It will be VERY limited -- one of only 16 made, ever.  It will be all sliver, frame and slide like the prototype.  It will also have smooth silver Alumagrips (not half checkered like the others).  The guns will have a special serial number, and MAY have other special engraving--that is undetermined as of yet.  Finally, it will come in a special Mahogany presentation case.  M.S.R.P. will be $2,600.   Expensive--but this will be a museum piece, not a shooter.

I spent a little time at the booth and there is still a lot of interest in these guns.  Many people commented on how nice the O.D. Green Alumagrips looked on the Stealth.

I am headed back tomorrow, so the R-Bros are on their own for the rest of the show!    They have booked their booth for next year in Orlando.

Thanks Duane!  I can't think of a better way to spend my tax refund.

I gave you the only photo I have from the show.  However, there are other R-380 photos elsewhere on the forum.  Aside from the R-380 on the slide, there is no visual difference between the R-9 and the R-380.

Same gun, different barrel and magazine (and maybe recoil spring).

Any word on the all-stainless model that has been discussed here in the past?
