only 5000 rounds through either P9S. This is not enough to determine the strength of the gun. Close examination reveals no sign of wear, but the screw holding the double action lock work has to be checked occasionally. I feel the lock up system and light weight slide along with the advanced engineering eliminates the broken slide and frames I have experienced with other semi-auto types. All is not perfect with the P9S, however. There are four points on the P9S·that we had to work on. All of these problems are correctable without expensive gunsmith help. These four points are: the bottom magazine release, the "backward" safety, a trigger stop, and conversion to single action without pre-travel of the trigger. The bottom magazine release cannot presently be changed but it need not be a serious problem. On a duty firearm it makes no real difference provided the shooter is familiar with the procedure. The need for a one-second magazine change in actual use has not been proven to me. It is not needed in most practical pistol matches either. Where it is needed, it can be learned. MAGAZINE CHANGING Nick Pruitt is a championship class shooter that works with me for Westec. Nick can do a magazine change on the P9S faster than I can on the Colt. The procedure he uses is to slide the left hand under the gun butt raking the magazine release with one of his middle fingers and stripping the magazine out with the index finger of his left hand. On this motion, his hand travels directly to his loaded magazine on the left front of his belt. His next motion is to grab a loaded magazine and slam it home. While not as fast as Nick, I can change magazines more consistently on the P9S than I can on my Colt. I have done poorly at times on man vs. man competition due to magazine change problems. Each time it was due to a magazine that failed to drop out of the gun. Occasionally this was due to a dirty magazine well. Most ofthe time it was due to my short thumb not depressing magazine release properly. Others with small hands BRASS .45 ACP-9mm-.38-.357 .44SPL-.223-.308 WE HAVE IT!
