I understand your wanting to sell the entire collection as a unit, but if you decide to split off that elephant-hide holster, let me know.   8)

Bill,

It is a good idea to sell it all as a group.  If you find you would need to do a trade at a gun shop, or need to drop the price of the pistol without taking a loss from your total asking price - let Richard (the ole African guy who loves elephant hair braclets) buy your pocket elephant holster.  I would be happy to take everything else accessories wise off your hands  - except don't need the shoulder holster.  Maybe the shoulder holster will fit your new J frame S&W.

Still though the total original deal of the R9 and accessories would be a great buy for someone and I hope that works out for you.

 I still thank you for the RJ pocket holster you sold me - although you wouldn't part with the mag holder.  :)

Speaking of elephant hair bracelets I have one also - thanks to Tom.

For everything you are offering Bill I think the price is too low - hopefully someone will see the value of this package.

All of your extras must be approaching $200 - so you are really selling the R9 (with what comes with it in the case) for $550.  And the R9 only has 83 rounds.

Thanks, Dave.  It really is an absurd price, but nobody was making any offers, so drastic measures were required.

I'm trying to reduce my inventory to more manageable levels.

The point of the comment about the Beaujolais wine wasn't quite addressed by the dictionary.  A Beaujolais is a wine that is made in the Spring and is meant to be drunk young, as soon as it is bottled.  You never age a Beaujolais.  

So the real question was, why trade in something that is already good and will hopefully get better for something as-yet untried?

I think the new, black R9's are stunning, and I now wish I'd waited to buy mine, so I could get a new one instead.  But I'm not willing to take a loss trading in the old one that is, so far, flawless, to buy a new one for more money.

Also, I'm curious... I didn't study the specs on the new ones, but won't the old accessories still work?  The holsters, screws, springs, etc.?  The gun is basically the same, right -- just the finish is different?  Or did I miss something?  

Just curious.

I was plenty happy with my R9S.  It worked great.

One of the problems of getting a little older, is it becomes increasingly difficult to operate a slide when there is such a small surface to grab.

I was feeling a little wierd carrying around one of those rubber disks which are used to open jar tops.   :D

Bill - you just carry that S&W for awhile.  If another R9 is to be in your future so be it.

Just stay on the forum.  What to see you posting on the "Outside My Windows" thread.  Plus you have the backfgroud to still make great R9 posts.

Dave,

After you shot that book, just on general principles, I enjoyed hearing all the witty comments that followed.

We have some very creative, bright people here.

Thanks, Brenden.  I'll be here enjoying the good friends.

I am hoping we get the Castle Doctrine all wrapped up in the near future.
