When I put skateboard tape on my R9, I put a little piece on the slide, too, which helps a LOT in racking it.

Can't post a picture yet because my camera broke when it fell off my bike during the Bike NY Five Borough tour. When I get a new one, I'll try to remember to post one. But there are 7 raised lines on the back of the slide, and my grip tape covers the back three, which is just enough to give me an extra grip, but not too much that it hangs up in my holsters. I'd originally put more on, but I had to cut it back because it made some of my leather way too tight. You're right, though, that you certainly don't want to have to carry around one of those jar openers to use for racking a slide -- then what would you use to open jars at home? You'd have to shoot them.

That's funny!

Doug, that really is a fine idea for many people. I hope others will note what you have said.

Purchase fell through.

Offer withdrawn. Will sell R9S separately.

Bill,
Sorry to hear that-hassle wise for you that is..

Brenden

Maybe the Pup just wants to "stick around"!!

After all that you have shared with the group here in experiences, ideas and friendship......I would think it quite difficult to part with the pup that was the common thread. All the accessories have memories, too.....most of them probably very good....some not as good. The "tie that binds" comes to mind.
But then I am unusually sentimental about things that bring a smile to my face.....and I have the excess of "good stuff" to prove it.
Bill, I hope it worked out for the best for YOU.

Bill,
I am surprised you wanted to get rid of the accessories since you were planning to get another R9 anyways.

Good question and one that lurked in the back of my
alleged mind.

Michigunner · « **Reply #37 on:** August 02, 2006, 10:40:53 AM »

It's been just slightly difficult to rack the slide, considering the small area to grab.

That's about the only negative aspect of ownership for me. I'm still debating about how serious that is.

It performs like a champion if you keep it clean and freshly lubed.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. This is the best gun board ever.

Bill - always nice to hear from you - an old Rohrbaugh Forum old timer. Make sure you stick around.

Thank you, Dave.

There are plenty of good friends here, and more coming every day.

My Comcast high-speed connection was down Sunday, and they will not send service people until Friday. I'm not too happy about them.

The only reason we might stay with the same ISP is that our email is published here and there.

These people don't realize how fortunate they are to have customers.

We are on a dial-up notebook right now. Not much fun.

Sorry for the rant, but I had to tell someone, and you guys are the sharpest, smartest people I knowl

Bill,

I "live" dial-up..

My only choice still is satellite..

If I get 50 Kbps,I feel "Fast"...

You will be happy in the end that the pup stayed!!

Sorry you are on the slow track Brenden - oh well as long as you're fast on your feet. Just checked my speed and it is 54 Mbps - think that is 1080 times faster - hope one day you will be on a faster connection. We are lucky - my wife's
company pays for our home connection since Nancy will use the computer to do work at times so we have a business service.

Is DSL offered there since you don't have cable?

Michigunner · « **Reply #42 on:** August 02, 2006, 11:34:40 PM »

DSL sounds mighty good, compared to dial-up.

Brenden, I was downright lucky that the pup did not go for the price asked. That was a downright stupid amount which I proposed.

I lucked out big time.

I ended up going satellite Brenden - may have mentioned before.

Several downsides - way too expensive - latency prob's so vid conferencing etc not good and even at top whack only peaks at 1Mbits/sec.

Despite that it does save me a huge amount of time over any day's use.

I have a dial-up backup in theory - only prob is the dial-up modem crashes my system

Brenden · « **Reply #44 on:** August 03, 2006, 05:44:45 AM »

Dave,Chris.
No DSL available either!!Satellite is less expensive than it was when I checked a couple years ago though!!
But I thought that DSL would be available by now too..

Bill,
Yes-you would have probably kicked yourself in the posterior if the pup would have left you..
