Gentlemen:

I am the buyer. Just couldn't resist it. Had to raid the investment account, though. Well, what's it all about, anyway?

Thanks, FCCW. I am pretty excited about it. I have wanted one of these babies since I saw a picture of one the first time. I am glad I could get one from a Forun member. I think it adds "cache" , or something. Anyway, it's good to keep things in the "family", if you will.

Alright 4mallard!  This makes your 3rd Rohrbaugh purchase this year if my math is correct.  Watch out, as you can tell these things can multiply fast....  ;D


If those old ugly (::)) blue grips don't float your boat let me know and I'll buy them from you.   8)

Corey & KJ,

Thanks, guys. Your math is accurate, Corey. And, yes, they do seem to multiply quickly. The little things just seem to be irresistible, don't you think?  You're right, KJ, it is a good feeling. It'll be even better when I actually get it! Now, let's see, where do we go from here... do you suppose Karl would ever part with #1?

If he's anything like me......NOOOOOOOO!    ;D  But I know, these things just have a way of just, well, can't describe it; got to have another or something!    :D

Thanks, John. Yes, I do know your thoughts on the matter. They are what helped shove me off the fence.

KJ, I know what you mean. When Mme. says, "Don't you have enough guns? How many guns do you need?", I always say, "just one more, my Dear."

It's nice to know that this particular  Rohrbaugh will stay in the "club."  It has been well cared for and provided comfort and security to me in many places (some I shouldn't have been in) for quite a while.  Never a misfire, jamb or malfunction of any kind.  Always cleaned and lubed with Mil-Tech grease and oil....not much of either.

A few years back I heard a comment that has stuck with me:
"The best gun in the world is the one in your hand when the fight starts."
I made sure that R293 was gonna be in my hand just about every day.

She's going to a good home. 8)    :) :)

hedrok.  Very nicely said and 4mallard I know you're going to enjoy the R293.  A great one to have.  Now, onward......maybe, to the next one!    :)
