So help me, Dan, I think I would use it. One look through that nearly M3
finder and the heft so reminiscent of the M3 sold me.
It was funny, because I was standing in a bit of a line at last October's
LHSA annual meeting in Tucson, talking with another local friend about the
M6J. The guy in front of me heard me, turned around, and unslung his from
his neck and invited me to look at it! I swooned!
