Happiness is a new gun 2

[Bawanna]

For the wife it would be worth a try, that's a different story and the little 380 is better than tossing stones. Not much but some.
We need to keep the ladies well protected and armed against those that would harm them or ask for their photo which I was gonna do but now I'm not gonna do since she's your equal at the range and I don't bob and weave like I used too ya know?

That's ok Colonel, few of us do. She decided she wants to stick with her Sigs. She likes the manual safety, and has practiced with them to the point where sweeping them off becomes natural. And I wasn't aware that she always carries the 9 in her carry purse, and sometimes the .380 in a belly holster as well. Go figure.
As for me, I have a little mouse gun already in my P380. The only time I carry that is when I absolutely can't dress around something more effective, which is very seldom. So I guess the Max isn't for me either. That does clear the way to look closely at the SA-35 when they become commonplace though. Cleaned my Guardian and CBob today, and I wouldn't mind introducing them to another cousin of theirs. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with 15+1 of 9mm.

The SA35 will be commonplace the moment I get one at my house, or even in my hand at the shop.

Don't recall the last time I was so excited about a new gun, must have been the Sig 210 Target. That one had me pretty jazzed.

Another one caused by our own Greg........

Me too, and it’s really strange since I have two already and I want this one. Mine have the beer can sights but otherwise they’re fine.

I have a Bolivian Police model, has their insignia on top of the slide. Doesn't or should say didn't run too good. I put all new springs in it but haven't bothered to go out and try it again. I grabbed it online since it came with I think 6 mags. When it arrived it looked like crap, like it was poorly cerakoted or something.
I eventually sandblasted the thing and it cut all the cerakote off but left the original finish intact which looked just fine, so that's how I left it. I'll take it out some more when I break in the SA35, just as soon as I can get one in my hands.

Funny thing, I've been checking daily, ok, ok, hourly at several online gun sales outlets. Today finally some actually showed having some BUT the ones that have one are asking like 950 or better.
Several that don't say if they actually have one are asking like 560. Imagine when they physically have one the price will jump dramatically.
Poor timing wanting one so bad when they are in such high demand the people with lots more money than me (mostly everybody) will pay so might be awhile before bawanna gets his sticky fingers (from gun oil) on one for hisself.

Same here Colonel. I'm not going to pay a 30-40% premium for a gun that will drop in a year's time. Can't afford that.

[Bawanna]

I saw one on an auction site that was bid up over 2000 bucks and still going. Not sure I can last a year waiting for supply to meet demand, I'll go out and fondle some other toys and hopefully help me tolerate the pain.

I’m thinking shill bidding.

I’m on two online waiting lists. That’s all I could find.

I stopped by the large LGS today, and found the Springfield case. The guy asked if he could help me. “Do you have the new SA-…” “No.” “Do you have a waiting list?” “No.”

I did look at some Springfield 1911s. The TRP - wow. The trigger was amazing. They had a Ronin 9mm, the trigger was not quite as good. I also checked out a Colt competition model, which was very good but that TRP…. Wow. But the front strap’s cheese grater makes Kahr’s feel like a baby’s bottom.
