I bought the railed model. It's going for nearly $1000 more already on
the secondary market. I didn't plan to shoot it and bought it for my
collection. My concern is that there is a warranty so maybe I should
put a few rounds through it to make sure all is well. On the other
hand, it would no longer be an unfired gun - outside of the factory. If
the prices don't move up significantly I will keep it forever so that's
less of an issue.

I guess I'll watch the prices during the warranty period and decide what
to do.

Harry would kill to be able to afford a gun like that.

It is easy to buy things when you do not pay your taxes or bills.



It's easy to buy things when you hire illegals to work the home handyman
jobs you get and pay them less than the going rate, and don't bother with
the various employment taxes and insurance reputable employers pay, right, Bilious?

As for the firearm in question, I suppose it has appeal to someone who
collect ugly, oddball guns. It has no appeal to me. I know where there
are two brand new never fired presentation revolvers that were engraved
by Lynton McKenzie and have consecutive serial numbers. Each of them
might be worth what that ugly SIG pistol might fetch, and they are works of art.

Do you also hire illegals? Oops. That is undocumented immegrants.

No, Bilious, I don't. But you have.

Here's an extra "s" in case someone might need it.

Shove the barrel up your ass, and pull the trigger. NO ONE gives a ****.

Man those. Swiss SIG's are sweet! I wonder if they're available with a rifle stock?

Talking about ugly oddball guns I had a fleeting notion of buying a
Judge but it passed when I read some of the reviews.
Other than novelty skeet shooting, I am not sure what I would do with
it.
As a self defense gun, it was roundly discounted. The .410 is inferior
to just about anything 9mm or above.


If I were going to carry again, I'd be interested in a Ruger LCR
revolver in .357 MAG with a five round cylinder.

.357 is a very capable self defense piece if you can hit anything with
it. (stressed, bad light etc)

I imagine it would be like lighting off a cherry bomb in your hand.

Was at the range yesterday shooting the new S&W AR. Also took out the 1911
45. New AR great shooter. Almost dead on out of the box. Forgot how
abusive to the hand the 45 can be. One pinched finger and nicked thumb.
But was fun.

Which M&P did you get? I have no idea of what is "allowed" in California
these days in "black rifles." I like just about everything about my M&P
15-22 *except* the four-sided rail system...not that comfortable to hold
in the beer mug grip. I haven't done anything serious to customize my
"real" Colt AR-15. I have an optic for it but I still am enjoying
shooting out to 100 yards with the stock sights.

A friend has one, and I've fired it a few times. Shot both 45 Colt and .410 shells with it. Lots of recoil, decent accuracy. It didn't excite me enough to consider one.
