Welcome to the forum! :)
You should be able to aquire a new R9 in less than 3 months. You can buy a used R9 from the classified ads on the forum or check Gunbroker.
You can purchase the magazine extensions from our very own Yankee2500. He posts the ad for them in the classified ads.

Welcome to the forum from East Tennessee. You are going to love this pistol, but it is high maintenance...likes to be clean, lubricated, polished, pampered and fed the highest quality ammo. If you are willing to do that, you have a companion for life...reminds me of my lovely and cherished wife! Jack F is well known on this forum and has one available it seems. Look at the "My Messages" link at the top and if an envelope is flashing, click it.

Bossco:
Welcome to the Forum from me as well.
Check with Tom Watson ("theirishguard"), whose advertising banner should be rotating at the top of the Forum's home page. If anyone can get you the R9 of your choice in a short amount of time, Tom can do it in coordination with your local FFL.

I started looking into options besides my local dealer as I have been on their list since August 2011.
Tom (Irish Guard) had a new Two Tone last time I had communicated with him.

Thanks everyone for the great info. I've been searching for the best pocket pistol and the rohrbaugh is my final choice. It looks and sounds top quality. I been carrying a h&k p2000sk and it's still a pain to carry at times. Can't wait!

Ya but what if I want a brand new one, - made in 2012. How long does that take?

Looking for a R9s, I got some PM me with interest. Tom

How do you know what year they're made?
What if you don't want a pistol that's been on a shelf - you want it straight from the factory - brand new 2012 pistol - how long does it take?
What's the wait ?

Small chance of this, but if you're anywhere near Oklahoma City, I can point you to a dealer who has 2 in stock that I saw this afternoon, 1 being the stealth.

You can't buy the R9 straight from the factory; have to go through a dealer. Tom of the Irish Guard has some now. Go for it. :)

Tom would know better.
He orders from the factory and would be able to let you know a lead time if you did not one of the PUPs he has in stock.

Is this some sort of top secret information that cannot be posted on a forum?
-
A perceived or real shortage of supply whets the appetite and increases demand. We always want what we can't have. I don't think any of this is intentional; it just happens.
-
Count, paranoia aside, most dealers don't order these pistols unless first ordered and paid for by an individul because they cost enough that demand in any one area is limited...Tom Watson (Irish Guard) specializes in these as a dealer and can generally get you what you want...not a big secret here. Fresh from the factory or NIB one year old will make no difference. My advice, SOGOTP.
-
I live near a dealer in NH who always has 2 in stock.

check classifieds I have a never fired still in cardboard box from factory

Is there no way to know the year of manufacture on an R9?
Is it impossible to order one new direct from the factory?
So if you order one, you have no idea if the thing has been lying on some gun dealer's shelf for two years while people have been dry-firing it in his shop?

Here's one way to do it, Count. Order a new Tribute R9; will be made in 2012. #1. Maria from the factory can tell what year a serial no. was made. #2. You can have a dealer order you one from the factory. #3. If the dealer orders you one from the factory now, it will be made this year. and Maria can verify. Hope this answers some questions.

I can get you new 2012 made R9s hot off the line in about 2 weeks. As I order thru Maria, it will be mfg this year. Tom

Nice ! :)
I got approved for refinancing my house. It resulted in lowering my monthly payment by about $100/month. I immediately began thinking "hmmmm, what gun do I want for $1,200 ???"
I got a call back yesterday morning and on second look the underwriter didn't like the terms of the loan. They wanted a shorter term which I agreed to. So even though I am getting a really good APR, and taking 5 years off the loan and saving a ton of money over the life of the loan... my monthly payments are going up by 100 bucks.
So, I have to find another way to save up for this purchase.
But I definately am going to find a way to save. I think Illinois will get a CC law this year and even though I could carry my HK P7M8, I want a pocket pistol.
-
I found out today that there is a 2 to 3 month wait on getting a new from factory R9.

Count,
As I am sure you have seen there are some very nice guns for sale in the classifieds. I think I remember you saying that you were looking for a stealth; I don't think there is a stealth for sale but there is a like new stealth Elite at a reasonable price considering they only ever made 50 of them. No relation to seller etc. but that would cut your waiting time and in the end you would end up with a nice limited edition gun.
Other than that I am glad to hear that the R-brothers have such great demand for their fine pistols.

Actually if I could have my dream R9 it would just be unfinished, then I'd get front & back strap checkering, and then I'd send it to Robar to get the whole thing finished with NP3+ :)

The Deerdale Z has listed is a steal and the perfect candidate for that sort of thing. Not sure how much the custom work costs but it seems like it wouldn't be much more
Than a new two tone if you can pick up the base gun cheap enough. Just ideas.

So R9s have a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original owner, right?
If I purchase a second hand R9, I'm getting a pistol with no warranty...

Count,
You are for the most part correct. New guns come with a blank warranty card with just the serial number on it - whoever fills it out and sends it in gets the non-transferable lifetime warranty. Sometimes you can buy a second-hand R9 with a blank card and send it in and you will get the warranty - so look for that. There are also a few problems that will be corrected by the factory without a warranty, the limited frame cracking in some of the R600-R2000 range guns is one of those problems.
You can also buy a warranty if you get a used gun. I believe they charge $150 and you have to send the gun in and they will go through it and often replace and update things (warning - think twice before sending a rare early Farmingdale in for rewarranty if the gun does not have any major problems.) You can also get a used gun and only purchase the warranty in the rare chance you have a problem - this is what I would do as these are really well made guns and you are unlikely to have a problem. Best of luck.

I purchased my PUP a few months ago.
Inside of the PUP's box was the un-filled
out warranty card. On the card it clearly
stated that this Warranty MUST be filled
out and RETURNED to Rohrbaugh within
30 days in order to activate your warranty.
Let me add that I had called Maria at
Rohrbaugh shortly after I had purchased
the PUP and she stated that the Warranty
must be filled out and returned. She also
took down my information at that time.
I would bet that since Rohrbaugh is a small
family run company that if you were the
original purchaser and bought a PUP and
had a legitimate problem they would repair
or replace your PUP without regard to weather
you filled out their warranty card. Don't
forget that different states require manufacturers
or sellers of new products to warranty what
they sell. What I'm trying to say is in many
states it wouldn't matter weather you filled
out the warranty card or not.
The best plan of action is to fill it out.

I have asked Maria about this and she said they warranty the gun to the first person who sends in the card even if it is after the 30 days, even though they state otherwise on the card. She said they put that on there so people who buy the gun new don't wait around to send in the card and end up losing it and still wanting their warranty. So as Bill said best course of action is to fill out the card and send it in when you get the gun, but if you buy used with a blank card I am willing to bet they will honor the warranty when you send it in.
