I missed the s on the slide.

Very observant! :)

Nice.  Buy the R9 and turn around and sell the Blue CF grips for $300+; they will definitely sell.

Or do the opposite and get a set of Blue CFs for free.

It would be a shame to see such an early rare gun (s on slide) separated from the blue CFs though

Some folks don't like the Blue CF's as maybe this owner didn't and yep, it would be terrible to seperate the two.  I, though, like the Blues.  If the buyer buys the R9s and doesn't want the Blues, give me a hollar.    :)

To me the pistol looks odd with the black grips, it would be a travesty to seperate the blues from a Farmie R9s. They are made for each other.

When the guns originally came out and there was no option other than blue grips I can see people who didnt like them changing them out for black grips. But whoever buys this one will likely end up paying a premium over other lesser priced black gripped guns specifically to get the blue grips/Farmingdale combo. It is a soft market though so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Looks like it sold for $1275 shipped.  Did a forum member win it?

I checked it earlier today as well and was wondering the same thing. A very good buy in my opinion.

 There were only 5 bids on it. Seems like a fair price. Looks like the  the market is adjusting itself getting more realistic. Especially now that the pocket carry sized 9mm market is getting quite crowded by some major players. The Rohrbaugh exclusivity in the market is not what it used to be.

Yes, this PUP lives at my house now, in fact it is my EDC.  Upon its arrival I properly restored back it to its original beauty by putting the Blue CF Grips back on it!
