The same thing happened a number of years ago to me. I researched the holsters I wanted, studied them, compared and contrasted them, read the testamonials from all their fans, and finally chose Hedley as my first choice. Then I went to order and , sadness, he was on break for a few months. With a deep feeling of remourse, I shifted my order to Ron Graham/Pale Horse and now, 20 or so holsters later, I still occassionally look over the Hedley selections and think about buying something I just don't even need, so I can finally experience a Hedley product.
If I keep my R9. and don't buckle under to the increasing pressure of wanting to sell the thing, I'll finally add an RJ breakdown tool and some RJ leather to it. And then, even if I sell it later, at least it'll go as a nice package deal with all the leather and accessories.
We'll see. The times, they are a changin, and I just don't have confidence that my R9 is going to be able to face the changes.
