As Maria (From Rohrbaugh) told me . all cosmetic. That was why I opted for a Stealth and not an elite. Being an Engineer I Lean towards form follows function. Figuring if I wished to get the other stuff done I could. Or one could just send the gun off to Robar and tell them to go at it :)

Here it the production info: "The R9 STEALTH Elite has a Diamond Black DLC® coated slide with the sides sanded by hand to reveal the stainless silver color. The trigger and magazine release are glass-beaded to produce a satin look. The extractor is also hand-sanded like the sides of the slide, to further enhance the look of the gun."


As they said on Hawaii 5-0..."B O O K  'E M - DANO!"
You were right on with your verbatim clarification on the trigger issue, I remember reading months ago...thanks.

Although the Elite is basically a Stealth with the flats of the Slide Polished along with a couple of other small parts being cleaned up and polished with no benefit to operation I do regret selling my Elite. It was an aesthically pleasing piece but I was leaving the country, I thought for one year to 18 months but unfortunately for health reasons I had to come home. They are still trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I hear my next test may be a bone marrow biopsy. Anyway, there was only so much room in my safety deposit box and I had to thin the load. Would I buy another, sure thing but not for the prices I have seen on GB or heard about otherwise. Its to bad. Maybe I will just send a Stealth off to Cogan, who knows.

Phil.  Have you shot the Robar yet, or will it remain NIB?   Sorry to hear of your health problems.  Sure hope everything turns out fine.
