News from the SHOT Show!
Rohrbaugh Firearms (at Booth 428) displayed a lot of new items this year.
Two new versions of the R-9:
Robar Rohrbaugh R-9– a dressed-up R-9 with frame slide and barrel coated in a silver NP3 by Robar, the new Hogue Executive G-10 grips with checkering, and high polish (by the in-house jeweler) on extractor, ejector, hammer, trigger, grip screws, and magazine base. This is one good looking piece! MSRP $1,795.
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.
The Hogue Executive G-10 grips will be also be available separately, either checkered ($69.95) or smooth ($54.00).
Rohrbaugh also unveiled a new knife collaboration with Kershaw/Ken Onion for a Rohrbaugh-branded Leek. Available in stainless or black DLC coating, with plain or partially serrated blades for $69.95 to $84.95. These are equipped with the SpeedSafe assisted opening hardware.
The anticipated Corbon DPX ammo was also at the show. These rounds were developed by Corbon specifically for the R-9 and R-380. The 9mm is an 80 grain DPX solid copper hollow point at standard pressure, clocking in at 1300 fps. The .380 uses the same bullet and develops 1050 fps. The ammo comes in boxes of 20 and is $28.60 for .380 and $34.65 for 9mm.
Finally, there is a line of new Rohrbaugh-branded watches. High quality, waterproof, and worthy of the Rohrbaugh name. Prices vary.
Pictures will be forthcoming soon, but my USB cable got left behind, so it will have to wait until Sunday at least. Sorry!
I am happy to say the booth was very crowded. Interest in these guns remains very high. A few more days to go, but it looks like this will be another great show for the R-Brothers!
