Christos.  Welcome to the Forum.  Congratulations on the decision to purchase an R9.  If you like you could contact Tom Watson of theirishguard here on the Forum.  Send him a PM.

Thanks fellas, I just came back from my local dealer and he had a R380 in stock, no R9... He said he'll be getting a couple in within the week.  Unfortunately the R9 wasn't shipped in his last delivery.  R380 was selling for 1,099.00. Thanks for the reference to the irishguard, but I try to support the local guys as much as possible.  Either-way, he doesn't do transfers of new guns that he sells.  :o

I spoke to my local shops, and Tom. They said 2-3 weeks.  That was about 10 days ago.  However i was just browsing in another thread   http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/YaBB.cgi?board=R9S;action=display;num=1266697757      
 and   (apa1169) said he spoke with Maria and she said "3 months" wow that sucks!!!    ???

If it's any comfort, some of us old timers around here ordered our R9s when the prototype was unveiled at SHOT 2002 and waited two years to take delivery. The wait was worth every day.   8)

My wait time was only three days nearly a year ago, however, dealer had it in stock.  Wish I had known about the Rohrbaugh in the beginning; just wishful thinking.

xpistoski, welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of Rohrbaugh. An update, I got in 4 standard 2 tone R9s on last Thursday and the last one left yesterday. Got some Stealths and Robars coming in March.  I sure do understand supporting the local dealer, if I can help let me know.  Tom

We may be in the same mode for the R45.  It will be worth the wait as well.
