Bill:

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your decision to acquire one of what I consider to be the finest pocket pistols yet produced.

Tom Watson ("theirishguard") is a licensed dealer and a sponsor of this Forum. His banner will appear at the top of the page. He can arrange for you to obtain the R9 of your choice at the right price and shipped to your local FFL.

Good luck.

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Tom and you will not find a more professional, more honest person to do business with. He's the real deal.

The bonus with Tom is that the factory treats him VERY favorably (they feel the same about Tom as we all do) and you will get your R9s faster than most dealers. (hope there are no other dealers reading this). Seems like a promo for Tom, but it's the truth. He's proven himself here over and over and doesn't need to advertise, as far as I'm concerned (and probably others, as well).

Call him and just talk to him for a few minutes - you'll see what I mean.

Part of the enjoyment is doing your research on this Forum, placing your order and then waiting for the arrival of your new R9s.

Have fun!

Bill:

I feel your pain. If it's any comfort, though, I placed my order immediately after reading about the prototype R9 unveiled at the 2002 SHOT SHOW and then waited two years while the company geared up for production. It was worth the wait.  8)

Thanks alot!  I have been looking at and longing for the Stealth you just bought.  This morning I called to order only to find someone else's name (yours?) was now on it.  Sadly for me, this dealer (Aregos Guns, Hot Springs AR) only had an Elite left in stock (that's the story I'm telling my wife) and I was forced to upgrade....

I really would have been happy with a Stealth....

Was it an Elite or the Elite Premium?

I purchased my R9s from Arego's in 2005. It was a good shop to deal with.
