It's on it's way!!!
« on: December 18, 2008, 02:51:22 PM »
I am new to the forum and now new to the club, I got a tracking number today and my new R9S will be here Monday!!!

Merry Christmas to me.  I'll post pics when it arrives.

Now to order a holster and some silvertips and.....any ideas?

What do I absolutely need to go with my new Rohrbaugh (I know, range time) but what else?

IUalum:

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your new R9!

As for other "needed things," just visit the Rohrbaugh Store and pick out what appeals to you.  You might want to consider some spare grip screws and springs, plus some extra magazines.   8)

Congrats! I'm hoping to have my first Rohrbaugh Monday too. Left the dealer yesterday USPS Priority Mail which is a 2-3 day service. I ordered a holster from hidden holsters and they have taken real good care of me. I'm just waiting for them to finish it up. I ordered the holster a week or so back knowing I was going to buy one when I got the right price. Luckily my FFL set up an account with Rohrbaugh and got me one for a great price.

Cograts again! I'm looking forward to replacing the piece of junk Kel-Tec I was using for a backup weapon.

Thanks guys.  I am watching my tracking number carefully and it has been sitting in a FedEx warehouse for 24 hours now with no movement.  Hopefully it gets here Monday as scheduled.  I have ordered some silvertips and a nemesis poscket holster so far.  TDH, I have a Kel-Tec also and will probably keep mine just to show the difference.

I'll post back here when it arrived with pics.

OK, fedex tracking movement, it may actually get here Monday after all.  I was getting worried after reading posts about people getting empty boxes etc.

new to the club also and I have a 9s on the way. Should be here Tuesday.  One stupid question, what is the differance between the 9s and the 9?  Went to Rohrbaughs  website and didn't really get an answer. Thanks

Welcome to the club. The original R9 had no sights. It was point and shoot which serves some people quite well. Then they came out with the R9S, "S" for sights.

I had trouble figuring out which gun was which on the Rohrbaugh site, too.  I wasn't sure at first whether the S was for stealth or not.  I guess figuring it out is part of the fun.

Hope you get yours soon.  I picked mine up yesterday and can't wait to shoot it this weekend.

It came, yesterday to my FFL and I have only gotten to open the box and look it over.  I am impressed with the packaging, fit and finish, and the 3 included magazines.  If it shoots and performs as well as it looks so far I am going to be one happy guy.  I have some range time next week, I'll post pics and my rookie review then.

Merry Christmas to me   ;D and Happy Holidays to the forum!

Great news, happy for you.  My FFL just told me UPS ran and no gun.  He is tracking now and is open tommorow. Wish me luck.  
Thanks to all the reading I have been doing in this forum I ordered a bunch of stuff form Rohrbaugh and others.  I might get something in my stocking if not the gun for Christmas.
Merry Christmas and thanks for the great info forum members!
