Default 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.

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

Nice gun, I think...

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

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

Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
