Went out to LOOK at guns today - trying to find a suitable carry weapon for my wife besides the somewhat wimpy .32 Beretta she's got.
Wound up buying her a .380 FireStorm, but I digress....
Of course while in the shop, I get to talking to the owner about my M9. He carries an M40, and loves it.
Then he says the magic words:
"I have an S9 in the back".
Shit.
The minute I held it in my hand, I knew it'd be going home with me. The weight reduction from the M is perfect. To me, it makes the gun feel more balanced. Hot damn, it's comfortable - I really think I like it better than the M.
So now I'm the proud owner of both an M9 and S9! Hooray for me!
Well, I'll be damned if the M becomes a safe-dweller.
At the very least, I can take 'er out and do the double-hand shooting thing like some movie star - only when shooting in the desert, of course; me thinks the range masters would disapprove.....
The more I hold the S, the more I like it. I don't have large hands, so the shortened butt actually feels better to me. The whole package just feels more natural. The S will definitely be my carry of choice, so long as it proves itself as reliable as my M. A few hundred rounds this weekend oughtta tell the tale.......
