I went by Larry's Trading Post in Berlin, MD. I was greeted friendly and looked around the shop Larry was helping someone so I ask the older heavier male employee to check out the VP9.
He repeatedly told me not to rack the slide, I removed the mag and he got mad that I was going to pull it back. he was telling me it was pricey and the finish would wear. I didn't trust if it was hot or not. I put the firearm down and walked out.
Larry didn't say anything but I look young so I guess I was being judged or they are playing roulette. too bad Had alot of high end even a half dozen nighthawks
He has some super nice stuff in there but I only went once and got the nose down the glasses feeling as well. It wasn't a comfortable atmosphere.....
If you want casual stop and see Bob at Shooter's supply.
