The elite has black slide except for the sides are pollished.  The internals are also pollished and jewled to a higher degree than other Rohrbaughs (basic Rohrbaugh is still very nice and smooth).  They look like this.

The elite premium's internals are like the elite's.  There were only 16 made and have special serial numbers and carbon fiber grips.  They came in a fancy little display box too.  They look like this.

The Robar model has Robars fantastic NP3 finsih on it along with checkered grips.  It looks like this.

There is a Elite or two on the auction sites but their prices are STUPID.  The Robar is the only one still being offered from the factory as far as I know and the one I would pick out of the 3 if I were going to "upgrade."

Welcome to the Forum. Any R9 is a masterpiece. Do yourself a favor and getcha one . . . or two.  Tom Watson ("theirishguard") is a licensed dealer who can get the R9 of your choice sent to your local FFL.

    Plasticos, You've made a great start already, with the R9s you've upgraded over the rest of the pocket pistols made. Now any other model R9 you get is just gravy! And please be welcome to the best forum, with the best people on the internet. We're glad to have you.      Gene
