Default I passed the test

Today I drove to redding for an annual dr. Appointment nothing major just sit down and ketch him up on what is going on. Because he has a private office not in a clinic and it is casual I decided to leave my p9 on. I have it in a jackass half harness and just wear a loose fitting button up shirt over it. The appointment went as expected chatted for half an hour then I took off. I have mentioned before that I use a wheelchair full time, well I decided to go to a wheelchair sales place while I was over there and didn't know what all I was going to do there so I decided it would be an exe lent test. Well long story short I went in they ended up having a therapist there that could do measurements for a new chair. They measured the whole chair that I was sitting in including the back rest, even touched a few spots on my back were the shoulder strap sits and neither of the 2 people helping me seamed to notice anything. Just thought I would share that I was fairly comfortable before but after this I feel I could carry in any reasonable situation.
Ps. I love the new p9 so thin and light and no problems yet.
Sorry no pics yet

Good job on your outing and great choice with the P9. I had the chance to run 300 rounds though a new one during some tactical drills and was surprised and impressed with the the reliability and control.

I had a couple problems with hitting the mag release with +p at first then it cleared up. OP, have you had this problem?

I have had no problems yet. I only have 350 rounds of fmj through it then a box of 20 defense rounds through it I was a little nervous at first after hearing it took time to find a hollow point round that fed reliably but no problems yet. I just got some extra mags and am looking forward to having to function test them. I was originally leaning towards the pm but this is only half an inch longer and taller and nearly any heavier. So far so good.
