Gents,
Been a lurking member of the site for a number of months now, as I didn't have my R9 at the time. Well, my R9s FINALLY arrived today and I have to say what a work of art it is. I'm thoroughly happy with it and it shot great at the range without any problems whatsoever. I have to admit that I haven't felt this way about a new gun in a long time.
I also installed the glossy carbon fiber grips from Curt and man, it really set off the gun. They just screwed on without any issues and just look fantastic on it. If anyone has an inkling of wanting to buy a set of any of the three Curt is offering, I highly recommend they do so.
I'd attach a few photos I took of my gun with the CF grips on it next to another new gun with the factory grips, but I'm highly computer illiterate. So, Curt is going to be me a favor and post them for me in a subsequent message.
Mark
