Been Away for A While
« on: March 14, 2010, 09:49:14 PM »
I have been away from the forum for several years and fortunately decided to come back for a visit.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of RJ Hedley.  I have one of his holsters in my pocket as I type.  A real gentleman and great craftsman.  He will be missed.

I have a R-9s that I bought new shortly after they came on the scene.  Serial # low 1100's.


This goes with me wherever it is legal to carry.  I have been pretty much taking this fine pistol for granted, but recently started looking at them again.

Went to a gun show today with a good friend who really likes my R-9.  Told him that chances of finding one there were slim and none.  Wouldn't you know it, I found a dealer with two.  One 9mm Stealth and one 380.

My friend bought the 9mm as I told him I would buy it if he didn't.  I sulked a bit, but after coming home I found a new 9mm Stealth on line and bought it.  

Anyway, I love these little jewels and hope to spend a little more time on the forum.  Great place and very civil.

FB3.  You were here long before me, but welcome back.  Congratulations on getting the R9 Stealth.  Always good to get another.  Again, welcome back.

Welcome back, after a couple of years away, there is a lot of reading to do.  ;D
