R9's in classifieds
« on: November 17, 2006, 10:31:42 AM »
Wow, it sure seems a lot of owners are selling off their Rohrbaughs.  What's up with that??  ???

As I suspected, since these guns were harder to get in the past many got 2 at the same time and after the novelty has worn off they are selling their safe queens.  Or maybe they like the Stealth much better and are selling one to get the other.

I have a stealth on the way and I'll probably be selling my regular R9 when it comes in.  I don't need 2 R9's, and my idea of a collectable is something much older.

It does not appear to me that poeple are trying to sell the r9s or r9 anymore now than in the past.  I am keeping mine.

Many of the R9 sellers in classified is someone who joins the forum to just sell the gun.  One in the classified today - his first post.  I never considered these as true R9 people.

The Seecamp Forum has eliminated this to an extent by not permitting access to the classified section until you have 20 posts.

I have two R9s.  One is still NIB.  Maybe someday I'll just keep one, but that day is not today.

It is true that alot of people simply sign up to sell their R9.  The quality and workmanship has not changed.  

Only difference would be the loss of carbon fibers.

Lucky to have mine with carbon fibers.

Keep an eye on the classifieds.  Soon I am going to place an order with Rohrbaugh. Extra grip screws, some of the new 10% stronger mag springs, some recoil springs AND some G-10 Grips.  I find that I like the feel and look of the G-10's better than the black carbon fiber so If I can a set of G-10's I will be putting my black CF up for sale.

Did you say there are new stronger mag springs available?

Do the new Stealth pistols come with these standard?

The info. about the 10% stronger mag springs was a recent post on this forum.  I do not know the specifics such as when or if the stronger mag springs will be standard equipment on all new R9's or they will be a special order only item.  My Stealth has the same mag springs as my standard R9.

I am also a two keeper.

I sold a bit ago. a pup that I had planned on keeping in the safe for one of the kids..

Things happen,and I do still have what tracker has +  ;)

I carry a Deer Parker that is perfecto!!

I have other Farmies that are "put away"..

Everytime I see a good deal on a pup,I get a "pull" to buy it!! ;D

Addict!! 8)

Hope all are well in the Rohrbaugh World!! :)
