Our dept carried Beretta Elite II's for about 10 years. We had good luck with them, I should have bought one when we traded them in on Glocks. I think they were less than 300. I did buy one of the retired 92's when we went from 9 to 40. Still have that and several mags.Quote:

Been wanting to polish a metal framed Sig for a while, but could not find one that was priced low enough for me to pull the trigger. I just got one at a bargain today. P229 in 357 Sig. Missing decocker, has the bobbed hammer, slide is holster worn big time, tired night sights. The good: Came with a new set of Hogue's, 2 mags look nearly new, frame is almost immaculate, barrel etc look GOOD! I thing it was carried a lot and shot a little. I am going to turn this into a showpiece! This will most likely be my last polishing job, and will get on it once I complete the STI. Also, ammo being crazy expensive, he threw in 200 rounds for $150. 100 rounds Speer Gold Dot and 100 rounds budget hollow points.

Today was my lucky day as I also picked up a Para "Black Ops" (single stack) that is like new. Almost ashamed at what the guy sold it to me for. I don't know if these are any good, but for less than the price of a Rock Island and right at the price for a Tisas... I'm happy!

I have 3 Para LDA's, never gave me any trouble at all. Like the Kahr, many folks don't like the trigger but I get along fine with it. Don't carry them much now days but doubt I'd ever part with any of them.
You know it’s kinda funny you said that.. I bought $20 worth of scratch offs and hit $100. Part of the purchasing dough used to buy the Para! : )Quote:

They said a guy who was there hearing me talk to them about it bought it as soon as I left,though it had been on the shelf there for weeks.
