I don't think his intention was to mock. But it's easy to misunderstand

Good that you made sure everything was correct. The biggest problem in
the Simmons world tend to be the SDS-9 (well, 7 too...). They have often

I have no personal experience with the SDS-9 but I saw another post
coming along... maybe that'll give us some clues.
