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

[Grouse]

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 pickup!

[DrHenley]

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

[dw1911]

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
