i did find a 9s stealth in my LGS to dry fire($1395)..what a smooth trigger..and great size......very strange, the dealer did not like the gun?
and want to promote it?? very strange....he wanted me to buy a 380 for carry and a large 9 for home....I just don't get it...even after I told him I liked the size for carry and the trigger....seemed to not want me to buy it.....any ideas on this???
Socialwork, welcome. I just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago, from a store in Ft. Lauderdale. From your description, it sounds like you're at the same store. AZ Gunrange. I left the stealth there and took the other. If you go back to them, check their website, he has it listed $200 less there. I've bought from them in the past, to me they seem to be more expensive, on the other side of the coin, when I'm looking, they tend to have it, so... I bought mine based upon reputation and it being 9 mm. I traded my LCP to them for it. I didn't like the looonnnggg trigger pull on the LCP, this one I can work with.
As to why they wouldn't want you to buy it, dunno. Maybe like someone else suggested, less of a commission, I'd guess you weren't dealing with the owner though, one of the hired hands maybe.
Just my opinion (and you know what they say about those), I would not choose a .380 as my primary carry, doesn't consistently penetrate far enough. I laid my LCP on top of/over the R9, they're virtually the same size. Excepting problems that I probably caused the 2nd time out; I'd say get it. I can only compare it to the LCP and I think its way nicer.
