  Any news on your gun?

16 days and still no news. I TRY to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and trust people unless they show me otherwise, BUT in another 14 days I am going to cancel the check and notify G-broker that seller can't complete sale.

If I get burned out of 1K so be it. It won''t kill me I'll just find another R9. Maybe it's the seller or maybe because the mail has to go from Indy to Alaska. In either case I will never deal with him or Alaska sellers again.

HIP, HIP, HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got a call from the dealer in Alaska. Check got there today, 19 days after I mailed it. He said he is shipping it today by Priority Mail so HOPEFULLY I will be shooting it by next week.

I bet that the Dealer has had the check for at least a week, probably more.

When I send something with a tracking number and I know when it's delivered, the gun ships quick.  Otherwise they blame the mail and it takes a week more at least.  Just my experience.

Good luck with the pistol.

Good Deal! I hate waiting for things I have already paid for. I feel for your ordeal. Nothing quite like the pain of a weird transaction hanging around to mess with your mind.

This whole deal was strange. He REFUSED to take Postal Money Orders. Heck those are the same as cash BUT if he skips it's not Postal Fraud.

Be glad to get it and shoot it.

Recently there was a guy wanting to sell a Bren Ten on the 10mm Forum.  He said it was his deceased father's and he had it on GB.  He only listed it for 1 day and it was cheap so I took a chance.

I called him up and he was a real goof ball.  He wanted the money quick and sent me an invoice from his internet company wanting Paypal.  My PayPal account is tied to a Credit Card so I had a way out and again took a chance.  I was not going to send him a check or money order.

The guy disappeared and would not answer voice mail so I protested the Credit Card and PayPal.  PayPal got the money back in about 3 days.

I still don't know what the deal was, maybe stolen I guess or he found someone to give him more money for it.

Good for you. You didn't get burned. Sadly it's only the last few years that these scam artists have crawled out from under rocks. It USED to be gun people were honest, decent people who's word was their bond. Now there are scum bags on EVERY SITE. Sad but true.

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!! Just picked up my R9. This is a AMAZING firearm. Box, papers, two mags, extra recoil spring. Two questions:

What do you you use to push out the take out pin on the slide without marking the finish?

Anyone recommend a front pocket holster?

Thanks so much for everyones help so far. You all have been amazing.

I just use a pin punch from my little gunsmith tool box, plastic if you wish...no big deal.  I have some really good leather holsters, pocket and belt, but carry the R9 in a DeSantis Superfly...it's cheap, sticky, covert and ambidextrous with a removable flap (for either side) for back pocket use although I use it (the flap) in front pocket often as it really does obscure the outline of a pistol.  Glad you finally got your pup!

Toothpick works great👍🏻

Get on Matt Del fattis list.   The best front pocket holster money can buy🤘🏻

Big thanks to Tattoo and backupr9.

I am happy with my value priced pocket holster by Blackhawk.

Like the look of the DeSantis, same for the Fatti.  May need to consider one of those myself.
