Ken - in theory at least (and I'll try this) - if you right click on properties on one of your pics, on that link you gave - you should then be able to place that URL inside image tags.  (Your pics look good for size - I tend to suggest folks try to aim for a max of (or not a whole lot bigger than) 640 x 480 and 50k-60k file size - this helps people on dial-up and helps avoid horizontal scrolling - huge pics IMO can be a pain!)

These tags normally require square braces but for illustration purposes I'll use curly ones.  Your total image code line should then be - for the first pic -

And if that works we should get the pic below if I use squate braces -

Hmmm - oh dear!!  Well it worked but - that pic was sized on the web page - or sized down by my browser - this one is nice but way larger than necessary I think.  Anyways - this technique works so - may be useful later.

>>Ken...

Thanks for the pics of your R9 with the Rubber Pachmayr #4 Grip.  Although I love the standard black carbon fiber grips from the factory...I think the Pachmayr looks great...!  And you can still see/appreciate the carbon fiber...!!  More important...the rubber add on looks very effective.

Next question...where did you get your Pachmayr grips...?...TW<<
I have seen them as low as $7.00 on the web, but then you have to pay shipping, so unless you are putting together a larger order it is easier to have you local dealer get one if he does not already have one, which is what I did. It was $10 for him to order it for me, it brings on a whole new feeling while shooting. Very firm grip and that is what one needs for semi autos, especially small light ones.

It seems to me that rubber grips might tend to hang up
on the pocket during retrieval; just a thought and would
like to be proven otherwise.

I don't know about you but I have my hand around the grip when I draw. Believe me this grip gives you much more control on retrieval and firing, I have practiced it many times. As to your last sentence you will have to prove it to yourself, no one else can do that. But this is why we have the greatest country on earth; each can do their own thing!
