I guess they sell all they make but I always thought Seecamp missed the boat on this.  

I mean, why have a gun without sights when you can have a gun with sights?

If you liked Seecamps, you'd probably understand.  It's just what one likes.    :)  You really don't need sights for what the Seecamp was designed for.    ;)

I like the sighted model R9 and would not have the unsighted model. But for its intended purpose of a close range point and shoot gun sights will probably never come into play. IMO

I was only referring to Rohrbaughs as there is a choice, I like Seecamps and there is no choice so unsighted would be fine.
  From what I have read in the archive posts on here the sights were added because thats what people were asking for.

Exactly right on the Rohrbaughs!    :)

I agree with KJ, were are talking about two different animals here.  You wouldn't compare a Seecamp to a Kahr PM9.

I went with no sights, but it was probably a mistake. I was just thinking about the ultimate pocketability, of course... but the sights on the R9S are pretty darn low-profile. Oh well, maybe next time.  ;)

Nase:

There is nothing wrong with a pocket pistol with no sights. These are up-close-and-personal weapons for use within 25 +/- yards. They are point and shoot pistols. At such distances sights are not mandatory. If you have sufficient time and light in a self-defense situation, simply sight along the top of the slide. If not, just point and shoot instinctively.

If you have not altready done so, just practice a few times at short yardage. I predict that you will be surprised how much the pocket pistol without sights simply becomes an extensioin of your strong arm. And, as the saying goes, "Beware of the man who knows his weapon -- he will defend himself at your great detriment."

I was reading through some old posts and it appears some early members who had sightless guns got new slides with sights after Rohrbaugh came out with them.

Nase.  I have an R9 with sights and one without;  like 'em both.   The one without is an early, early one.  I do like it, for sure; I'm used to Seecamps, soooo, that may explain why I like no sights.

I don't think you made a mistake by any means.  Enjoy.
