Well,  giving the matter verbose consideration from all sources to date and based on the kind photos of our contributors combined with a keen sense of self-reflexive knowledge in these matters, I believe it likely Bond would really need at least two Rohrbaughs:  One, for when he is "dressed to kill", attending a white bow tie affair - he will simply have to have Ccoorreeyy's all chromed, ivory handled beauty! - well done, Ccoorreeyy (now hand it over!).  However, for when Bond is merely "dressed to KILL!", making a rooftop, midnight rendezvous with a double-double agent, I believe he would leave "beauty" in the dresser and pull out his "beast" - the baddest, boldest, black but barrelled stalker - the Rohrbaugh Stealth!   >:(  Let them Lions Rohr, Baby!

He'd have an Elite.  And I should have one also.

Jack:
I believe the president's stimulous package includes an Elite R9 for all of those incapable of affording one through hard work.

One is definitely in the future but I'm acquiring Seecamps at this point.  I'm doing my part on keeping the economy going.

I have a hard time buying something if I can't see it and the only dealer in Colorado doesn't order the Elite model.

I'll probably break down and get one sometime though.

When you say you are "acquiring Seecamps" are you an FFL or collecting?

I never owned a Seecamp as they were always allocated or sold way beyond recommended price by dealers. I got an NAA Guardian, preferred the .380 PPK and then the R9 came along.

ACP - Yes, as soon as I get the Stealth, I'll give a report after feeding a box of Hornady's through it.

As for the "president's" stimulus, your use of a lower case letter is a nice poetic touch - thank you.

I noticed in preparing my tax returns that he's giving away $7500. of my money (and yours) to anyone and everyone who hasn't bought a home on their own who wants a free down-payment on their first, future ex-home.  

No wonder I can hardly find a gun or the ammo for it anywhere what with all reasonable people looking to do the same at this same time.

Rohrbaughs in a banana republic.  Is that what's in our future waxing closer each minute?  Oh well, I can imagine worse: bananas a la mode.   :'(

Seecamps can be had new for less than MSRP.  Just need to know where to look and maybe wait a handful of months depending on timing.  Although most of the time they do command MSRP plus some extra due doe production/demand issues.

Concur that Seecamps are inexpensive NOW, but there was a time when availability and cost were as described above.

The guardian was my "Seecamp Wannabe" until I decided to go with an old favorite, albeit larger than Seecamp, which is my PPK in .380. The PPK I own has been posted on another string as mint, circa 1966. Again, when the R9 came along, with 9MM potency, I never loked back at a .32.

This is not to say that .32's are bad guns as much as it is an affirmation of 9MM Rohrbaugh potency.

Scax: Thank you for your intension to feed me info as to ammo in your R9. With any luck I will get my Stealth next week from Tom.

As to the political commentary, we could have a great time sharing beliefs. However, while I realize I opened that door with my own comments, it might be a better thing to keep politics away from the forum.

Second Amendment posture is easily imagined with our brothers in arms and we are on the same side.

Tom:

Aha! So that's why my Stealth is being held hostage at the factory!

Special Forces model because Bond is THE Special Forces guy and one can wear anything with basic black. ;)  Tom

Tom

Sent you an email just now. You were SO right about trying to find Winchester silver tip ammo for my stealth.

I think Bond would carry the Robar Rohrbaugh.  In my opinion the classiest looking Rohrbaugh yet. Polished hammer, trigger,base plate on the mag.  It is one nice R-9  Dan
