I bought my 9 online as well.The slide was tight and dry.The barrel had what apears to be rust in it and the bolt face finish shows a lot of case imprinting.There was no information on how to get the rebate either.I got it apart,cleaned it and lubed it.The slide is still tight and I have not been able to try and shoot it yet,but I am really disapointed in both the weapon and the vendor.
