SLG 09 UL has same board as the DM9.i would pick the pmr over the slg because its a higher end marker and you get what you pay for the pmr has a better barrel, a on/off asa, a better board very similar to the dm9 board if not the same one ,metal clamping feed neck and has better shots per tank hope this helps
i know what you mean my only prob is i'm not really at that stage where i can tell from a s**t hot one with no problem. to proberly something that i would pick that would end up being a right dog...if you no what i mean..for 500 notes look through the classifieds bud you will get some real nice gear and have change left over for paint
