after reading about them for a while, I now have a new R9s Stealth. Without seeming stupid, what is the correct pronunciation? It sounded like the salesman was saying
rollbar, and the video online of Mr. Karl R. has a thick new england accent and I can not catch it. I am guessing here, but in my mind I see a lion/lamb kind of thing, as in ROAR/BAA Am I anywhere close with that? Anyway, Franklin Gun Shop in Franklin, TN has a few 9mm and 380s on hand. THANKS

"ROAR/BAA" is close enough and an excellent phonic interpretation.
Congratulations and welcome to the R9 odyssey channel.

What tracker said and welcome to the forum from me as well. Congratulaions on aquiring the Roar BAA R9s Stealth. Enjoy the experience.
-
Congrats on a great choice and welcome. Look forward to seeing how it shoots for you.

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your R9 Stealth.
If you live in Franklin, Tennessee, you live in one of the more beautiful and historic cities of the Volunteer State.

Welcome from southwest Florida and congratulations on your new "Roar-baw" (baw pronounced as to rhyme with paw as in a cat's paw) R9s Stealth. ;)

Welcome to the club, what did you trade in for the stealth?

Thanks guys. I traded a NAA Guardian 380, A Smith J frame with electric pencil markings engraved on it, and a 77/22 W/LEUPOLD. I figure I am now into the R9s at 850-875. I may have been able to sell my stuff a little better, but with what I had in them I was VERY happy w/the trade. Hope to shoot it a little today, I need to go check the fence line for limbs down on it so I will probably run a magazine or 2 through it while I am in the woods. just waiting for it to cool off a little before I go back there.
-
That was a very tidy consolidation; the sum seems to be greater
than the parts.

ran both magazines through it, perfect functioning with cheap ammo. Had a plastic can about as tall as a coffee can but only about half as big around. I had movement each shot, either a direct hit or the ground under it at 10-15 yards rapid fire. Recoil not as bad as I expected, considering I can only get my trigger finger and the one below it on the grips.Now I cant wait to group it to see what it will do. I am no great shot, but I am now as confident with it as I am with one of my colt saa that I shoot all the time.

Thanks for the report. This is one great pistol. Continue to enjoy!

Welcome to the forum. I always thought that the second syllable of Rohrbaugh was pronounced like "tree" auf deutsch.
However, instead of "bow" I now realize it is "baa". So, 86 on the dog and cue the sheep.
