My First R9.
« on: June 18, 2012, 11:21:13 PM »
I have been checking out this forum for a short while and thanks to all the great users who share their wealth of knowledge about the R9 on here, I felt good about making an offer and eventually getting my first R9! I guess I can now officially be part of the forum crew. 

Thanks to BlueC2 for starting the post about my search. As well as Jayson who was great to do business with and part with the Elite.

The new pup!


Looking forward to the first range trip and future forum posting!
