The more you spend on it the less you shoot.

Came across a NIB, SF model for sale.

Gave him a price.  I will not go any higher. 
 
Although, it does take a rather nice picture.

Nice looking PUP

Good luck with the purchase.

Looks like the reserve has not been met yet.

No, the Reserve is still out of reach   Guess it was wishful thinking on my part.  I just received email advising that I was outbid on my my $1700 offer ....   ::)

Worth a try.   Someone must want it more than I.

I have to admit though, shopping for one is half the fun.

I know. You can get caught up in the auction very easy.

"Special Forces R-9– Hogue Executive G-10 grips with checkering, titanium coated barrel, and all visible parts (interior and exterior of gun) are finished in black with Wilson Combat’s proprietary ArmorTuff finish.  Even the magazines are black!  Very neat looking gun.  Even when you open the slide and peer down the ejection port – everything is black!  MSRP $1,795."

This was from a 2009 post.

So, $1825.00 - $1900.00 today, (with some finish upgrades since then)  is not really that bad of price, is it ...   ???


Or... you can talk me out of it.

Have you called Rohrbaugh?  I believe they are producing them again.

My LGS has a beautiful Tribute sitting in the display case, left from his last delivery of eight.   I called yesterday,  and he advised there are four Stealth models on order, that are en route within the next two months. 

No one has yet to fork over the $1795.00 asking price of the Tribute. 

Seems most Rohrbaugh fans are satisfied with the Stealth and it's price.

The NIB Special forces sold on GB yesterday for a final offering of $1925.00.

I was going to say the same - I believe that they are in production again as another member on here mentioned speaking with Maria and receiving two Special Forces with sequential serial numbers (in the 6600 range).  http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/index.php?topic=7188.msg80792#msg80792

I'm assuming that this auction was for one of the recently produced ones as well as the OP to this thread (and seller of the GB listing) also mentioned ordering his Special Forces and it being shipped to his FFL.

That is not too surprising when MSRP is $1399.

Well tell all. How does it perform? Any FTE OR FTF after 30 round breakin?
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
