Welcome . I have had my M9 1A for only 3 years . It was NIB but it had been sitting for so long the lube felt a little wax-y when I broke it downt to clean/lube and inspect. Looked great. However 1st time out the trigger binded up . and even with a defective trigger it shot well and accuratly, but i was bummed. The seller went into hiding. So I contacted Jeff the nice people in Tennessee, they said it was imported here 2010 however it is under warranty. I paid for shipping 1 way. I got it back with a new trigger & the newer sights and it is the best gun that no one else has ever shot. I want a 40mm now. Do enjoy yours .Welcome to our world.
