You have to purchase the black grips?? I got the Army model and they came with it.

 

I wondered about that too. Mine was also black gripped.

Still, whatever it takes to support the military... :smt1099

Same here with my Navy edition

Still waiting for pics and would love to see it.

 

Went to the C&E Gun Show today and saw all four of the M9 guns, green for the Army, gray for the Navy, blue for the Air Force, and red for the Marines. :smt1099 :smt1099 :smt1099 :smt1099

Like the stencil on the side of the gun, don't like the wonky grip colors.

EDIT: Now I got the proper colors....

 

Here's a picture of both, black and red gripped M9.

 

very nice! love the way that looks

 

Love the gun.....but more importantly.....thanks to your father and the rest of the veterans who have served this country so bravely!!!!

We owe them more than words could ever tell!!!!!

 

LOVE the idea... HATE the color... LOL

I'll stick with black and stainless...

That's neat. agreed about that grip.. a set of hogues would be the first purchase along with a box of white-box winchesters and targets.

Interesting they have a special Marine edition.. Didn't the marines go back to 1911's?? :mrgreen: (ducking now for the flying tomatoes) hehehe Plus I'm probably totally wrong.. There's like 5 different handguns in each branch these days it seems, from kimbers to M9's to Sigs and I read somewhere even M&P's now.

:watching:

 

I agree, I really love the idea, but I hate the approach taken - the rainbow-brite grip colors are hideous and I am not too keen on the slide lettering either. I think I would have preferred an understated service logo on the slide and a "coin" inlay on the black grips. But, hey, maybe my wife has me watching too many HGTV shows!!!

 

I dunno, the lettering is cool. I know it stands out some in white like that, but it's supposed to. The grips? They probably didn't include black ones just to keep the price down.

Now, if they used the Crimson Laser grips on that weapon... heh heh...:twisted::twisted::smt077

 

Thanks Mike#9, nice comment. Yes, I am proud of my fathers accomplishments, and to all who served to make the USA and the world a better place to live in.
I'm not to crazy about the red grips, but black grips "were" included in the package. I like the lettering. I purchased this hg mainly because I know the quality is there (great feel in my hand), and as a salute to my dad, a marine, who passed away on the 4th of July, 2007. (buried 7/7/7)
