I somehow missed ths thread when it started.
On the basis of a telephone conversation I had with Eric recently, it is my understanding that Rohrbaugh has negotiated an arrangement with Smith & Wesson Specialty Services for a new type of "silver" anodizing on the R9s. I think the R9 in the photograph is one of those new beauties. The anodizing should be extremely tough and durable as well as downright beautiful.
Now, if aircraft aluminum grip panels with the same anodizing could be offered, the R9s would be almost identical in appearance to the famed prototype unveiled at the 2002 Shot Show which "hooked" me at first sight. I still consider that prototype to be one of the most striking handguns I have ever seen.
Don't get me wrong, though. I have no plans to replace No. 132, shown here with my little wife's "pocket rocket" -- both wrapped in Hedley leather art.
