sksmatt:
Round count is 350: 200 break-in, 100, and 50 during three range sessions.
I hesitated to rate because standard terms seem to mean different things to different people--and sometimes even to the same person.
I carry daily and at the end of the day wipe exterior slide and frame down with Brownell's Action Lube Plus. One day a week I break the piece completely down, soak in Cylinder and Slide's Dunk-it, lube internals with Rohrbaugh prescribed lube, and externals with Action Lube Plus. Use a Brownell's bit on grip screws, which have not been buggered. Just in case I have an extra set to replace as needed.
I forgot to mention in the listing I am also including a Pearce magazine extension cut to fit R9 magazine and a Hogue hand-all cut to fit R9 grip.
Pictures emailed at your request.

Everything is OK, thank you. My main carry is a P7M8 and I am so used to the manual of arms I don't want to learn and unlearn everytime I change up carry pieces.
The R9S is a very special piece. In fact one I'll return to when my carry needs change, which is not in the near future. I anticipate that when I step up to buy my next one there will be quite an expanded caliber selection, including a caliber specifically designed for the R9.
As for being a lurker, I confess that I have been reading the board everyday since I joined. Never missed a day. Find the Forum to be interesting and rewarding.
My problem is I am more a talker than a writer. Guess I grew up when personal contact or telephone were the ways to reach out. So if sksmatt, you, or anyone would like to speak to me directly about the piece, R9S's in general or anything else email me your number and I'll give you a call.
Brenden:
As for the Del Fatti, I'll keep you in mind, but would prefer to sell package. I might suffer a fit of depression if I was left to look at an empty R9S holster. If no left handed shooters are interested I will break it up and post everything seperately.
