I remember the day I found this forum and the R9 pistol. After reading the forum and asking a few questions I decided I needed this gun. I also new that I needed a pair of custom grips to go with it.
I dreamed up numerous designs while waiting for my pup to arrive. The first thing I did when I got it home was to take the grips off. I thought it would be sooooo easy to make a new set in my shop. My heart sank when I saw the recess on the right grip panel. That was going to be a problem. I thought long and hard and eventually worked on some prototypes in wood, but eventually gave that up.
I started asking people that make custom grips but didn't get anywhere until I email Alumagrips. They couldn't help me, but that did have sets of the stock clear anodized grips in stock with the Rohrbaugh logo. I order some, took an earlier design and went looking for a cnc shop to customize them.
What you see below is the results. You can also see where I got the idea for the pattern in my edc knife a Benchmade Gaucho. I decided to leave the original Rohrbaugh logo as a ghost image.
I think they add a lot to the look and the grip of my pup.
