I's almost starting to regret selling all ten of the Walther Creeds I bought. Oh well. It's not like I'm gonna run short of handguns. Ammo....well, that may be another story.

And I was about to ask if you had another :)

Curious if one will even get a new RPAL issues on time. Wife and my 18 year old taking theirs in two weeks......... in the mean time, time to go shopping again!

I got a CZ too! Not a clue if it's any good but I got a SP 01 Shadow in 9mm.

Also a SW in 22lr - don't even know the model. Just " the best of what you got left"

Talk about Panic buy. New definition!!

Your welcome. Just let me know. I'm not a handgun guy. I only want one cos someone said I can't have one and this is the model my local outdoor supplier figured out for me. I called him in about ten seconds of hearing the live announcement. Today of course, he is sold out. Of everything except 22s.

Was kind of looking for a 1911 today and I don't see much available.

Those Model 57s are beauty guns duceman, I can't believe you'd sell them?? I have a 6" 57, and a 4.25" Model 657. They are on my never sell list.

they were on the list for last 15 yrs lol. i bought the 8” 4 yrs ago or so; put one cylinder through it when i got home; haven’t looked at it since. same with the model 41’s.
i’ll keep my king cobra and old browning challenger.

i’ve hoarded up several thousand projectiles and a few thousand brass for the 41 mags as well as a few dozen lbs of powder for them too.

treeroot 06-02-2022 06:28 PM

I bought a mark IV last time douche bag mentioned new gun laws a few years ago..

I'll take a look tonight, but I'm guessing stock will be low.

Hopefully this will help all concerned with new buys;

I suspect by noon tomorrow there may not be a handgun left in any store in Canada to buy.

Why the hate for the Glock TC? I must admit, I hated my first G17, but my second one was better. The G19 is a bit better though. Great utilitarian pistol.

As for buying, can’t decide on either a Delta Elite or another LW Commander.

Looks like the old Colts and the Smiths are heading south to keep them safe.

Halfton 06-03-2022 12:59 AM

I have been wanting a 1911 4.25 barreled 9mm....but just couldn't find the one I liked and by the time you went back for a 2nd look at the scarce pickings there where, they where gone already.
I was still determined to use my trigger finger to flaunt the Libtards in
Ottawa thou, so I bought a new Besa TRP9 from PR. I bought one for my wife a few years ago and quite like it....really good value for the cost and they shot very well.
Damn the torpedoes.....Full steam ahead!!

I don't *hate* them, and the later gens are actually not too bad. But I am not a fan of striker fire guns in general, I found their (Glock) triggers (on early models especially) to be just creepy gritty garbage, and I didn't like the grip angle. All wrong for my natural point of aim. The Walther Creed, at 1/2 or 1/3 the price has a trigger that is superior, and fit my hand so much better, but I still sold all of them. I'm just a Sig DA/SA person I guess, love the P226/229/220s best. I almost got a P320, but again, just didn't like the striker fire much.

Mavrick 06-03-2022 07:24 AM

I added a 1873 running iron to my collection. Always had in my mind to start trying mounted shooting, so I thought I’d pick up a “ tuned” revolver.

Canada’s top salesman can add another to his credit, it was just a thought till now.

I have to agree with the Sigs. I sold my 226 and bought a 92FS as it wasn’t as bulky. Sold that and bought a 229 in 357 Sig. It was a great pistol, but the ammo was getting harder to find, so sold it and got a G19.

As for Glock triggers, a good armourer can remedy that. My 17 and 19 are both Gen 3 and were worked on by my buddy, who is a Glock armourer. No more creep. Same buddy let me handle his G43 he uses for VIP work. Can’t get a 43 as it’s too new, but now I’m on a lookout for a 26.
