I dont think it is the options (porting) that are keeping this from selling as much as the price.

  As I said would be fun to watch someone else shoot it. Porting a Rourbaugh or any carried self defense pistol/revolver greatly changes the way it can be used. If you are holding it close in to avoid getting it grabbed, you are going to be worrying about getting a faceful of flash and debris.  And the need for port on a weapon designed for use at about 5 yards or less is questionable. It looks interesting though and may be fun to play with. I just cannot afford to compromise a gun like that. (Don't have any range toys, might be nice though)

With the price of that one, probably should've jumped on this one from about a month ago

Without intending to offend anyone, in my not-so-humble opinion, porting a Rohrbaugh R9 could be compared to installing mud tires on a Ferrari F40.  :o

There may be some practical value to the mud tires on an F40 in some extreme situations but porting an R9 is in a class of its own.
