A question of superstition
« on: February 09, 2010, 08:34:32 PM »
Is it considered bad luck or tempting the fates to order a holster BEFORE you actual finish purchasing one's r9s?

Just wondering, you know with the long lead times, and all...

Don't think so.  I do it all the time.

At least if you have the holster before the gun you will have a place to put your pen and spare change.   ;D

Some holsters take longer to acquire than the pistol itself.
yeah, by all means order or buy a holster.

That's true, but my decision process is I get the holster and ammo first, then order the gun.  Just me.

When I bought my R9, about a month before it should have arrived, I went ahead and ordered a holster. A week later, my pistol showed up early.

Make of that what you will, but my own superstition now points to ordering a holster in advance.  ;D
