I was reading a magazine at the Supermarket today - Tactical something or other... Anyway it had an listing of 2012 guns in the back and it had 3 listing for Rohrbaugh 9mm pistols
The regular R9.
The Rohrbaugh Robar
The Rohrbaugh Elite
I've never heard of the "Elite" and I though Rohrbaugh discontinued the Robar version.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

The Robar & Elite are both discontinued models, only 90 Robars were made by the factory and I'm not sure of the number of Elites.
There is also a Covert sold by a dealer on Gun Broker they are not a factory product, here are ads for the Elite and the Covert from Gun Broker.
The Covert is sold by a dealer on Gun Broker and not by Rohrbaugh.
The Elite was a limited production It has a Black slide that has the sides sanded but leaves the black in the cocking serrations, there is one for sale on Gun Broker.
Here is the Covert ad.

Thanks guys...
I know when a gun mag makes a listing of firearms they've got thousands of models they are dealing with. But they didn't do a good job of checking on this one...
Obviously the Elite and Robar are not 2012 guns. Unless they know something I don't ? :o
I'd love to get the Robar model, but if and when I buy a R9 I will end up having Robar finish it with NP3+
