There is no doubt in my mind that the old metaphor of "coyote ugly" was the reason for the change. I could be wrong.

There were also the engraved models which appear to have been available with either silver or grey frames and had three levels of engraving: standard, medium, and deluxe, presumably with and without sights. All the ones I have seen pictures of had Blue CF grips. I doubt they made all of the possible combinations but that would add another 12 different models.
There was also R5000 the NRA special edition gun.
There was also a “one of a kind” auctioned here on the forum with various anodized finishes.
You can also count the covert but should add the bit about a dealer facilitating the production with Rohrabugh’s blessing. This would count as 2 more models if they were available with and without sights – I don’t know)
That is 55 possible combinations but there are probably more…
to provide the complete Rohrbaugh line..don't forget to list all the different R380's too...with pictures..a real great resource for this forum
At some point I'll go through and add a picture of each one - will need some help from everyone here for sure but I think it will be a good resource for the forum.
