Hello all. Sorry to keep you all waiting, we've been working until 2:00 in the morning most nights this week. Well today after a week or so of my nagging I talked Coalman into going back to the gun shop, "just to look" I said. We bought the elite for Coalman and I am so excited. Now we have one of each. I have the original two-tone and Coalman has the stealth and the new elite. We decided the engraving was something we could live with. Any way I feel like I am quite a lucky lady, 3 new rohrbaughs and great guy to share them with. Thanks to all for the advice and comments.

Hey!  You could get one more, and each could carry two!  Sounds like a winner to me!!   :D    :D

R_G:

Did you get the consecutive serial numbers you discussed earlier in this string? That will enhance future value and provide an incentive for you and coalman to stay together.

Thanks to all for the helpful posts. We did not get consecutive serial numbers, we think we've "blown our wad" on guns these last few months. As for the added incentive to stay together, I think it is our real life pups (doberman and setter), that would be the hardest to split, although our firearm collection has been growing these last few years. The rohrbaugh isn't the only handgun we have in a his and hers. Its nice to know you are comfortable with the other's gun when we are both carrying. Lastly, Pics? I can't figure out how to upload them. Can anyone help?

My ex-wife (a great Irish girl) did not like guns and no, that is not why we divorced. I have to admit a romantic relationship that involves "his and hers" guns, whether R9 or other guns, is intriguing and I enjoy your story.

Mrsfos has been very well pleased with her IWB from Meco.

http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/YaBB.cgi?board=Accessories;action=display;num=1224547175

If you like what you see you can get info on Meco holsters at http://www.mecopocketholsters.com/

Robert makes great stuff.  I have quite a few holsters he has made and have been very happy with his service.

Hi R_G,
And welcome!! I do like my IWB by Robert Meco very much. It's lined and has great retention.



You can't beat the quality. He uses a high grade leather, hand bones, hand sews (if you ask for it  like that).  

He will customize your order too.  You can't go wrong with one of his holsters!

You need to store them online - I use photobucket.com.  It is a free service and it doesn't bog down users with popup ads.

After you have them loaded there you can copy/paste the url into the text box.

1. open photobucket.com -- copy your the URL for a picture you've stored there.

2. open the message board text box


3. click the "insert imagine icon" on the top of the dialogue box

4. you will see the code inserted automatically into the text box: [ img ][ /img ] (without the spaces included)

5. [ img ] insert URL HERE[ /img ]-- insert (paste) the URL to your picture between the set of image codes

6. Preview your post to make sure it displays as you've expected it to.

7.  POST!!
