The "sight" you see is just some Glonation Super Glo Paint that I put into the holes they milled or drilled into the slide. My shipping there was $25 through my FFL guy and return one day UPS was $28. I checked with a local gunsmith on having just the sight dots done and he quoted me $90 and would need the gun for 4 to 6 weeks. Robar did the sight dots 2 mags and a full internal and external NP3 job in 5 weeks. The $45 was for 30 min. of shop time to do the sights.

I was expecting the external finish to be their Roguard finish, but isn't that black? Which external finish did you get?
Just so you know next time - gun laws allow you to ship directly yourself to Robar, since they are gunsmiths. You do NOT have to go through your FFL --- IF the gun is already in your name.
You as an individual just can NOT send by mail. Only an FFL can ship a pistol by mail. Individuals must use UPS,FED EX, or DHL.
And of course, Robar can send the gun back directly to you as well.
That way you can save some time and money next time.

John,
I picked my Robar RR model today. It is a beautiful gun but something unusual happened when I dry fired it: The trigger did not return. Instead, it was "stuck" as though it were in single action mode of a DA gun. When I racked the slide, against empty magazine, trigger went back into DAO mode.
My perception is that the Robar coating might be a factor, due to already tight tolerances. However, I defer to the forum. What I don't want to do is fire the gun if this issue is rightful cause for concern.
Comments please.

Reinz,
thanks for those two posts they are helpful but I would love to see pictures of your two tone. Do you have them posted anywhere?
I knew about being able to ship by UPS, Fed-Ex etc but they require overnight shipping and it was more than having my FFL do it for me. The return shipping was direct to me from Robar and was overnight UPS at $28 and change.

ACP. Another thought; I recall your Robar has CF grips. Could be, whoever installed the CFs may have not got the trigger spring back just right. Don't know that, but just thinking. If the grips were factory installed, or even if Robar installed them, I would say that's not the problem.
However, you know the problems folks here on the forum are having replacing grips.

I am always mindful that home invasions usually happen very quickly, can be very violent, and are nearly always unexpected. A weapon stored in its case or in a safe may do one little good under such circumstances. An R9 in the pocket is quite another matter.
My bachelors degree is in English. I am a passionate reader. Every night I put the book I am reading on the end table, next to my bed, and my gun on top of my book.
The only time I see a problem is when kj is wearing his Speedo briefs at the beach ;D
