ever had one of those gun shops that hold things just for you
 

You know the sort. The type of gun shop that causes your wife to roll her eyes and groan.

for many years i had looked for a new in box p225, I found one last spring. Then a few months ago I found a west german p226 in very good nick. No frame rail wear, just some rub wear on the slide. Having done the transfers they held a NIBOS New in box old stock p228. Had one of the sales guys call me down. I took a look at it and passed on it.

That lasted about 2.5 hours. I came back and had them hold it for me. The bastards had me over a barrel. Out went my At84s and a High standard sport king.

Nice pick up Grouse. Been looking a a 229 myself.


Next time a little bigger pics, can't see the gun:D

Our patrol carries sig...get to buy a personal one this year finally at cop prices...I'm so gidy.

Those are big pics of a little gun......:D

kinda mix feelings about letting the others go but this was a good a fair horse trade.

Nice pickup!

Nice gun, I think...

It would be nice to be able to see more than an inch of the gun at a time :D

One shop CALLS ME when they have something they think I'll like, or that I can help them sell

My LGS, will hold something for Me if I ask them to.
On occasion, they will call me if they have a good deal on a nice 1911
