Optics Planet's Beginner's Guide to Owning a Pistol
« on: August 30, 2022, 12:26:17 PM »
Shows a field stripped P09 9MM.

No advocate for their recommendations, methods or products, just noticed they were using a good pistol (should I have said Great pistol?)
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

That's a fine looking pistol, but I'm not too sure about that off-brand looking light they have mounted on it.  I wonder where you can get a proper holster to fit that?

Friends don't let their friends buy anything from Optics Planet.

As for their recommendations....

Should be called “Bad optics Planet”, in my opinion.

Somewhere buried here is my story of ordering a scope from Optics Planet...long story short I won't be giving them any of my business again.
having said that, yes, it is VERY cool that they used an eCZellent pistol for the mat! P-09 is a great sidearm.
