Is this normal?
« on: April 23, 2006, 02:08:47 AM »
I bought a rohrbaugh today at a gun show.  On the frame it reads " Rohrbaugh R9"  BUT it's actually a R9S.  It is the model with sight.  Is this a "typo" on rohrbaugh's assembly line or did I get a fake?
Also I paid 1050.00 out the door.

This is normal - the R9s only appeared for a short time - all say "Rohrbaugh R9" on the frame if they have sights or not.

malayalee747 welcome from me too. :)

Indeed as Dave said, the ''s'' was on slides for a very short time early on.  I believe it was dropped because of some BATFE beaurocratic hassle.

My first R9 is an ''R9s" - but that one was made early in 2004 along with about 150 others IIRC, silver frame etc.
