Since no one has posted the existance of the long awaited R45, I assume that we are out of luck for at least several more months.

DDG indicates no promise for this year, however, it will come.

By the time it arrives I will own too many Kimbers and Sigs......................

Ahhh, the prosperity of it all; just get a bigger safe.

Ummmm.... they did, in fact, display an R-45 prototype.

See the link above.

Here's a link to a photo that appeared on a GunsAmerica Blog post about Shot 2012:

I had a ball getting to handle the proto-type R45 at this year's Shot Show (and the Cerekote R9 as well). Great feel to the pistol and I'm looking forward to the pistol coming out in 2 years, from what the folks there told me.

WOW! Would have loved to been there!

What gun would you compare it to size wise?

Here you go - R9S in red - R45S in black...and the proposed Boberg XR-45S (in 45 GAP) in blue:

The Kimber Ultras seem smaller..............Here is their figures:

Caliber: .45 ACP
Height (inches) 90° to barrel: 4.75
Weight (ounces) with empty magazine: 25
Length (inches): 6.8
Magazine capacity: 7

So I am somewhat surprised by the prototype.

I addressed this a bit in the related thread. Any assumption that Rohrbaugh would try to make the smallest, lighest .45 ACP pistol was just that -- an assumption. I think Karl figures he has nailed the pocket pistol, and doesn't see the need to make a bigger one in a different caliber. The R45 is intended to be something different.

So, what is the R45s selling point?

Single stack, DAO trigger -- It appears to me that it will be an all-metal competitor to the Glock G36 and the Kahr P45....

Price is not established yet, but will be north of $2,000 and probably north of $2,500.

To call the R45 a competitor to the Glock or Kahr is like calling the R-9 a competitor to the Diamondback DB9. Think more like Les Baer or Wilson Combat...
