*** THE WAIT IS OVER ***
« on: February 17, 2010, 01:40:39 PM »
 ;D I picked up the hooked extensions an hour ago from the anodize shop and will have them all shipped today or tomorrow
  The straight extensions are not machined yet, but I will post as soon as I have an update.
  Anyone who ordered Hooked and Straight extensions will receive the hooked units now, and I will ship the straight units as soon as I get them.
  I want to thank everyone for there patience and support during this rather long process.

John,
Today (02/19) I got my hooked extensions.
They look absolutely great and the fit is awesome.
Thank you so much for all your efforts and dedication to get the extensions done. It is obvious that you put a lot of time and energy in the process.
You da man!!

Thanks for all the kind words, glad I could make a useful contrabution to such a fine firearm and group of owners.

There are plenty of Black hooked extensions available and some of the silver.

I will call the machine shop on Monday to see were we are on the straight extensions.

John,

Got my two hooked extensions today.  They look wonderful on the R9.  I like your design better than IDM's.  They seem to fit the CNC'd lines of the pup perfectly.

I haven't shot with them on, but I can tell there will be improved control and grip.  

You did a fantastic job.  Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to get these produced for us.

John,
I agree with everyone that the extensions are perfect and better than I had expected, great job!  As far as look, lines and match it really is outstanding and adds to the gun.

One thing I will mention that I did not take into account is the length of the extension is actually pretty important.  I can only get two fingers above the hook, which is probably the same for everyone (I have bigger hands but not huge).  This leaves a little extra length than I would wish for because I like to have a very tight feel to my grip.  I believe this is going to be a very personal preference thing.  I will take it to the range and see, maybe I should've gotten the straight instead of the hooked.  Thanks again John.
Good Luck,
Fat Boy
