I'm venting a bit here; and, yes, I came for sympathy :).
In a defense of them...a Glock eats anything you put in it and you can throw it against the wall numerous times and it still shoots. Its the perverbial "Bic" gun...Trying to compare one against an R9 however is like comparing elephant dung art to the Mona Lisa...
::)
That is like the definition of a superior pilot: "It is one who does not put himself into situations where he must summon his superior skills."
I have been following a thread on GlockTalk (yeah..I know) where I lurk sometimes. People are really bashing the R9.
Envy is the playground of losers.
It seems, there's always something better; and that's.....good.
sometimes as in the aforementioned Porsches the fruits of victory are ashes in your mouth.
All of this and wandering into a salt estuary with one of these on the Gulf Freeway frontage road?
I just called my local CarMax but they don't have one. ;D

Thank you for the compliment.
in other assorted costs and the total approaches $300,000.

I think I'll just look at mine a lot. :) ;)
At your young age, a wise decision.
This is a weird string. Started with why R9 gets bashed, (and I applaud R9 defenders), and now we are back to the Bugatti?
I did not enjoy the 944 bashing here! >:( I've had a handful of them, and currently have a 944 race car.
But then again, I race the 944 because....... It's just a 944. If I do something dumb, and roll it up into a ball, it was just a 944.
Gotta agree on the 911's quirky advantages. I've got an early one that's been hot-rodded. What a car!
I know. I've just heard bad things about 944's and if you like them, that's a good thing. I'm sure if I would have had one, I'd have liked it too.
I don't remember were they are located, because I paid with pay-pal. But you are correct they make some very nice exotics for a reasonable price.
Here is my elephant R9 holster with gator trim.

Since their holsters are not what I'd consider a traditional style OWB (with the belt notches on both sides), how well does it tuck in towards the body?
I have lightly experienced some of those down here flying a twin Comanche...
and as far as sayings..."there are those who have ground looped and those that will"...
Speaking of pilots...wonder what happened to "flyandscube"...haven't seen Bill on here in quite some time
