Rohrbaugh r9 stealth? GunBroker

Guys be careful. I think it was made to look like an elite.  Up to 1850 now. Sorry don't know how to put the add.  He listed it as a stealth.  Buyer beware.

Guilty as charged. I bid BEFORE I saw the Rohrbaugh in silver rather than black BUT It has the correct finish as my Elite and to fake/polish the sides would be VERY tough. Eric said he trashed a few polishing the sides, it cut galled the steel and would have cut into the letters if he tried to repair it.

I will stick with by bid. I thinks it's real.

Well Gl then 👍🏻

I think it is a Standard Model.  I would ask for pictures under better light.  I do not think it is a Steath even.

I asked the seller to remove my bid. I compared it CLOSLY to mine and it is a FAKE! if he doesn't remove my bid I will report it as a fake.

Look at pictures 1 and 2.  It appears to me that the slide is all stainless.  The other shots are just shadows in my opinion.

i agree. But was hoping no one would be fooled by the elite look he was going for. Thieves everywhere.  👍🏻

And just my luck. People buying all the hogue extreme  grips up to make fake elites. 😡

The standard Stealth grips are included as seen in the first picture.  I don't know who would buy an Elite and then buy a pair of standard grips to go along with it.

It has the periods between the U.S.A. Those slides were produced after the Elites were out of production. The only Elite with those markings is one that was sent back to the factory for rework and Erick had to personally do another stealth slide by hand to fit to the gun. I own that firearm. I miss the days when you could call Maria and ask her if such and such a serial number was a factory elite, robar or SF.

Perhaps Erick will chime in and verify. But this is a stealth that someone sanded the slide on.

I SHOULD keep my mouth shut, since I am the only bidder but I just spoke with Eric on the phone. It IS the real deal. He said he tried different things on the Elite, one being leaving the Rohrbaugh R9 in silver. The U.S.A. instead of USA just means it was a later model with the updated firing pin placement. Same with the Deer Park in 'Block' instead of script letters. Just a letter model Elite.

YES it is a bit different then my Elite but Eric confirms it's the real deal, just one he made a bit different.

You are free to pay your money and take your chances but I would not buy it. All of my research indicates that they were all done making the elites when they moved to the updated slide. That sanding looks a bit heavy handed for all the Elites I have seen. Good luck.

Has anyone asked what the serial number is I can't make it out?

The two sets of grips is the tip-off for me.  Better pics would help too.  The GB pics seem to show some black left on the middle of the sides of the slides, as if the person doing the sanding gave up before going too far.  It could be shadows or bad lighting.
