Got R9s home today after sending it back to have an overlooked birth defect corrected. The magazines were hard to release when they were empty, and virtually impossible when the magazines were full. To release a full magazine you had to use some sort of tool or what I did was to hook the magazine release against the table edge. The biggest problem with this is that the muzzle was pointed at some part of my body. This was a habit I really didn't want to acquire! Maria,(aka Wonder Women ) did her usual wonderful job. She called the R-Bros and told them that the pup had to be back home for Christmas, so from wa state to NY and back was only three days!! I was really amazed to see it back so soon. The problem was fixed. New magazines and some tweaking on the release and everything was fine. Gene Merry Christmas!!
