Welcome to the forum. Check the classifieds, I think there is a K9 for sale there now. (Great gun btw)

Welcome to NES John.

There's also a lot of us here that are gearheads. You're in good company.

Welcome!

Nice gun. Ridiculously easy to conceal and always goes bang. While I've heard people complain about the weight for daily carry, it doesn't bother me and it makes it heavy enough that my girlfriend is completely comfortable shooting it. I'll probably be looking for a second in the future whenever she decides to carry.

There was a K9 at First Defense in Uxbridge the last time I was there. If you like the gun but don't care about caliber, there's a K40 (same gun in .40 S&W) down at Sparky's in Webster, and Four Seasons has one listed in their used section right now (http://fsguns.com/used/).

If you haven't I have no personal experience with the K40, but a friend on here does. I'm sure you can find someone who'll let you shoot either one (or both, if you haven't shot the K9) to compare.
