R9S, Thanks for the Forum
« on: May 27, 2010, 11:08:35 PM »
Pulled the trigger on a R9S, extremely pleased. Picked it up Saturday, took it to the range Sunday. Put 50 rounds through it, 115 gr Gold Dots and FMJ. Ran like a charm. This is much closer to a custom pistol than a production. Well thought out, recoil is manageable. Not nearly as difficult to shoot well as a j-frame.

Posted a WTB add for a holster and the forum came though and I was able to get a used Ken Null pocket holster to hold me over until I can land a Del Fatti.

Took some shots this evening while cutting the grass, here is my favorite.

gtie.  Great range session there.  Glad you're liking the little wonder.  Good picture, too.

I really like that Damasko DA36 Watch, too. It is about as valuable as the pup sitting next to it.
