John G. Byers replied to P Quest's discussion XR9 Number 250
"Excellent range report and impressive shooting skills!  I do wish I could shoot weak hand like that.  I agree that the XR9 is simply a joy to shoot and is amazingly accurate.  What ammo did you use?"

"I bought mine from a friend who had two, so no waiting at all, although I did pay a small premium (nowhere near what those on GunBroker seem to go for).  Still on the list though because I registered mid-Dec. 2011 and may buy another then."

John G. Byers replied to Harry Truman's discussion Big disappointment with Speer Gold Dots today!
