To pacify those "lonely feelings", I set out to purchase another M9,
but this time I wanted the M9A1 version. I called around to various
stores, but nobody had one. I left a $50 deposit at a gun shop that is
know to have some clout in obtaining what I wanted. After 5 months,
they couldn't get their hands on any, as they claimed all these type hg's
were being shipped to the military. I got my deposit back and figured
I'd have to wait until things settled down with the demand. Then a couple more
months went by when a friend gave me a call and told me that Bass Pro Shops
is advertising the M9A1's for sale. When monday, Aug 16th, rolled around I thought
I'd give them a call to see what they had. They said they had two left, and had a
$50 instant rebate as well. Along with that, if I opened a CC with them I would get
another 10% off ($60 more dollars). Price $650 -50 -60 + tax = $571.34 OTD .
I told them to hold one for me and that I would be right in to pick it up. Wahlah !
The small negative was that it had a barrel parkarizing flaw and I had to get a new barrel.
Now that I have a new barrel installed, here is the
