Title: OK I'm not saying I told you so
Post by: Quiet1 on March 04, 2010, 05:07:27 PM

BUT, after reviewing Rohrbaugh's updated website and reading the revised specs on the R9s it made me chuckle and recall my very first post to this august forum back on Feb. 1, 2009.  BTW I was convinced by the responses that I must be mistaken.  

Here's a copy of it:


Subject:      Pistol Weight
Feb 1st, 2009, 2:55pm »

This is NOT a concern or an issue for me.  I am posting only out of curiosity.
 
My brand new Stealth (manufactured in November 2008 ) weighs, according to my electronic postage scale, 13.5 ounces without the magazine.
 
The "Technical Specifications" on the Rohrbaugh website and in the Operating Instructions that came with the pistol list the weight of the pistol sans mag at 12.8 ounces.
 
I was just wondering if, when the switch to a different alloy slide was made, that the new slide was seven tenths of an ounce heavier then the original.  Or, if the Stealth model would be .7 oz. heavier.  (I doubt the later)
 
Perhaps Rohrbaugh just has not gotten around to updating their website and Instruction booklet?
 
Anyway, no big deal for me. As stated above just curious.
 
Regards,  Quiet1

I just weighed mine and it is 13.1 wo/ mag. not sure how much the Robar finish would add to the weight.

Damned glad you did not say "told you so!".
