one mag no box or papers and wear on the guard i feel nicer ones out there. jmo
May be, but I bought this as a shooter for daily carry - Texas Gunfighter style - one in each pocket, so triggergaurd wear will happen anyway. And besides, refinishing such as NP3 or something equivelent is now possible; I will not be without an R9 (something I dreaded, even though I have plenty of alternatives).
And mags, I have plenty.
