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.

But, glad you got it.

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.

Hey! How have you been liking that Creed anyway? I guess you do if you want another...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
