None in Spain? That's hard to believe, there have to be some Spanish
people willing/able to buy one. I know here on the LUG there is at least
one Spaniard who has an M9 (Luis!). I know one person isn't much, but
there have to be others who aren't on the LUG. Surely at least one store
will carry them in a big city like Madrid or Barcelona.
