With all the recommendations that theirishguard receives I would have no problem ordering one from him; but I am hesitant to spend $1K+ on a pistol that I haven't at least handled and fondled.

I'll just keep on keeping my eyes out for one; in the meantime my P7 for main carry and LCP for pocket carry will have to do.

Just for the record in case it's of any help, I ordered the R9 shown above in 2002 just after reading an article, with photograph, of the prototype which had just been unveiled at SHOT 2002. I waited two years for it to arrive.  No regrets -- absolutely no regrets. And I'm not the only one around here who has purchased their R9 sight unseen. My advice: "Get ya' one." After all, it's almost Christmas. Speaking of which, have a merry one!  8)

It's your decision, of course.  However, in the meantime, you're missing the experience of a great little pistol.

  I bought a .380 totally sight unseen. Not only had I never seen one, but no one in this neighborhood had ever even heard of one! When I did read of one I started doing some research and soon discovered this forum. That was all it took! I also found Tom Watson's name showing up almost as often as the pistols. That was enough! I called Tom and bought a .380 (which I dearly love!!). Three weeks later I got a R9s from him. Anyway, my advice is to buy the gun. You'll be very glad you did.   Gene     ps Where the hell is my R45.  Please

Maybe someone on this board lives in your area in which maybe they would let you "take a test drive".....

I too bought my first R-9 sight unseen...   ;)

In fact, I started this forum before ever laying my hands on an R-9.  

If you read this forum, look at the pics, and can handle the price -- and still think you want one -- its highly unlikely that you will be disappointed.

Excellent point made by kjtrains. I have sent my $100 deposit to Tom Watson and I have no idea what the R45 will look like nor the cost.

I think members in this forum will agree that Rohrbaugh products are superior and it is germane, for those in the know, to make this leap of faith despite that the earliest we will even know what the R45 looks like will be at the SHOT show held next month.

Ummmm... While the R-45 is "in the works," it will definitely NOT be shown at SHOT.  Sorry folks -- they are not that close yet.

I completely agree, I had to see one first before I was going to shell out that kind of cash.  Here in MN there were two dealers that carried a Rohrbaugh, one is an authorized dealer and the other is secondary market.  good luck finding one.

 We are pretty lucky here in Jacksonville, FL I guess. The Authorised Dealer on the Rohrbagh web site has (2) and another company here has (5). They have standing orders from Rohrbaugh. So about every 2-3 months or so they get (6) more in.
