New Texas Member looking for a recommendation
« on: April 27, 2009, 10:52:34 PM »
I’d like to first thank everyone that contributes to this forum, the content, insights, and shared experience has been priceless in helping me come to the “informed” conclusion to purchase a R9.
 
I would like to ask the community with help in locating and purchasing a R9 Stealth from a reputable and fair priced dealer.

I appreciate your recommendations!

Welcome cobra1169!  Get in touch with Tom (theirishguard) here on the Forum.  He will treat you right!!  ACP, another member of the Forum just received his Stealth from Tom.

Good luck!!

Benny Arego of Arego's guns is a good guy to deal with.  I am pretty sure he is considered a distributor for Rohrbaugh.  The last time I visited his store, he had about 15 different Rohrbaughs in stock.  (501) 760-2330 and ask to speak to Benny.  They have one on Gunsamerica.com right now for $1125 plus $35 shipping.

cobra1169:

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on selecting the Rohrbaugh! You won't regret it.

Tom Watson ("theirishguard") has his FFL operation there in Texas and can get you the R9 of your choice. He is a member and supporter of the Forum and its members and is a true gentleman who conducts business the old fashioned way -- putting the customer first. His contact information, as listed in his Forum profile is as follows:

Welcome to the forum. Viva Tom Watson of The Irish Guard, from whom I received my Stealth last week.

Tom is teaching me how to speak "Texas". From what I gather, this language is plain spoken and truthful.

It might help to mention where in Texas you are and/or how far you want to travel.  

I believe that Irishguard is in the DFW area, so not a real big help if you're in Brownsville  ;D.

I bought my R9s from P&F Firearms which is just outside The Woodlands.  Good Pricing, but no inventory.  He ordered direct from Rohrbaugh when I ordered from him.  He also has the advantage of being located in an unincorporated area so his sales tax rate is about 2% below most other dealers in the Houston area.

+1 on Tom.  I also had a good experience dealing w. Arego's

I am a Tom Watson partisan but I have read multiple postings for Arego's. Can't be all bad if he is an R9 dealer.

AJC Sports, Clute Texas.  They usually have a couple of R-9 in stock.
