Title: Covert Model
Post by: Slick on May 09, 2011, 01:56:27 PM

Anybody have one?  I'm seriously interested in one, and wondering how much an improvemnt the Wilson re-worked trigger is.  There are a few for sale, one not far away.

I'm also a fan of the Armor Tuff, as I have 2 Wilsons with them already.

Slick.  Lchavezmisc, a Forum member, has one.  Here's his thread.

Thanks, went through the thread.  I also have to assume there aren't many out there.

I'd say you are right.

Not many available and typically overpriced, you could probably have a standard mode done yourself and spend less and even add front & rear back strap checkering or stippling. :D

I don't have a standard r9 to compare the trigger to. This is the first one I have owned or handled. I have always been happy with Wilsons quality and accuracy. Figured this was a good teaming with Rohrbaugh.

I can say that the slide and trigger are very smooth. The finish cleans up very easy. I have some wear on the barrel, but I am happy with this all blacked out version.

Compared to the mil spec, these are a barbain:).

A little more information from Rohrbaugh on the Covert.

- Parts are hand selected and shipped to Wilson
- Wilson sand blasts parts
- Wilson tunes and polishes all internal parts
- Wilson coats all parts with Armor Tuff
- Reassembled by Wilson and sent to distributor

Essentially the same as the Special Forces except the custom work is done by Wilson instead of Rohrbaugh.
