I have been carrying "magsafe" since I moved to Florida in 1991,I carried my 32 seecamp with magsafe, I am a former NYPD and I do believe in magsafe, and can attest to it..............My P9 is almost new.........with second skin wrapped around grips.......this is a suede like skin that is cut to form around the grips, the wetter your hands the better they stick,,,,,,,,,I have at least 200 rounds thru it..........As far as the R9 seems to be more around, because it seems there have been a few used ones for sale and no interest on this site........after the pony comes back from it's "meltdown" I will make a decision???Geminidan
