Felt so guilty I had to join!
« on: June 06, 2006, 03:38:30 PM »
I really was lucky- After looking at a lot of pocket guns and being discouraged by what was available I found a new R9s at a gun store here in town. It was love at first sight! After I brought "Baby" home I got on the "net" to see what kind of a gun I had purchased. I found this site and began to try to learn as much as I could. You all are a university! I even learned about RJ and I have ordered one of his Highcut Merlins and a take down tool too. Any way, I just felt so guilty about learning all the "good" stuff that I just had to join your "happy band." So thanks for all of your help.

Other than a little NAA Mini Mag, this in my first pocket gun. I belong to a 1911 forum and have carried a Kimber Ultra Carry for a number of years. A great gun! But summers have a way of coming around every year and I have really wanted a R9 without knowing such a thing of beauty and delight was available. So thanks again for all your "enlightenment."   :)

Les,
Welcome.  I did the same as you. I read the whole forum before I posted.  I found just about all of my questions answered by reading what was already posted.  Tons of great information.
Best wishes with your Pup!
Respectfully,
Jim

Les - welcome to the forum :)

Glad you have found some info of use and in case you didn't see it yet - visit the link in my sig line.  Just some odds and ends accumulated over time as we have all been together on this board.

I haven't updated it a whole lot recently but what is there might help ''round out'' new folk's perceptions etc.

"Just some odds and ends" . . . ?  Hardly!  Chris is altogether too modest.  His FAQ site is actually one of the most comprehensive, objective, and instructive collections of data on a new firearm ever compiled and offered to the public.

Further, deponent sayeth not.   :D
