Guys, Since I pay the bill here allow me to get on my soap box for a minute
I see all this talk about questionable pistols. People looking for cheap pistols, rebates, the best deals, what is on sale???
We are talking about firearms here not friggen tennis racquets or golf clubs. These are tools that might one day save your life.
I'm sure many here have a huge collection of pistols and are looking for something else. cool. But if you are someone who is going to own one gun do you really want to base that purchase on what is on sale, who has the rebate going, who throws in the pos holster and mag carrier?
I'm all for looking for the best deal. When I bought my carry pistol I bought it used FTF.
I'm not directing this at anyone. I've just noticed a bunch of posts about rebates, sales, stuff like that. I'm not saying you have to buy the Ferrari of pistols to feel safe. Or some special tactical full size operator HK .45 with threaded barrel and light laser combo. (had to get that in there Lars )
But if you come on here and read reviews of people talking about slides flying off while shooting, crappy reliability etc. Do you really want that gun? I don't care how cheap the damn thing is.
IMHO
