OMG!  I'm just so "welled up" I feel I need a stress test.

>>Wait, hold onto your seats, get your meds under control, be prepared for a
real shock.....

The M9-P feature of choice...... 

No Red Dot!

>From the BJP....

"Leica says it learned from professional photographers using the cameras
that it needed to remove the Leica "red dot" logo "to make [this camera] as
inconspicuous and discreet as possible". The M9 lettering has also been
omitted - in fact, only the camera's top plate is engraved with Leica's
name. The M9-P is finished in vulcanite leatherette, which ensures "a steady
grip when shooting, making [it] feel particularly safe and secure in the
hand".
