http://www.guns.com/2014/09/11/sig-a...g-553-pistols/
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. |

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. |

Someone recently reposted your claims that you were inundated with work and were advertizing for help on Monster.com. The benefit package you boasted about offering was unbelievably good. Probably because it was just more of your lying bull****. Tell us again about that CZ you trashed. Tell us again about that Sig you loved then hated. Tell us about your TWO foreclosures and numerous tax liens. On second thought, don't. |

Do you think that the silencer you are purchasing was designed by Jean-Michel Basquiat? |

Lots of recoil, decent accuracy. It didn't excite me enough to consider one. |

Maybe combat and FA would be good. Original M16 used the bolt lever as an assist. We need a bullet button. Requires a "tool" to remove magazine. Can only buy 10 rd or less mags. I do not think it is illegal to possess a mag with larger capacity, just can not buy in state. |

I do not think it is illegal to possess a mag with larger capacity, just can not buy in state. We have some bizarre laws in Maryland relating to AR rifles. You can buy a complete AR, lower and upper, so long as it has a "heavy" barrel. That's what I have, an HBR Colt with a heavy barrel. You can buy 10-round mags in state, but if you want larger cap mags, you have to buy them out of state. Possession of larger cap mags is legal. We don't have bullet buttons here yet. You can buy a complete .308 AR type rifle without an HBAR. Only the 5.56/.223 ARs have to have the HBAR. You can buy a lower and then buy a non-HBAR upper, since the state has no way to prove when you bought that upper, as they are not serialized. And so on. You can buy a suppressor if your local sheriff signs off on it, but if he won't, you can download the forms off the internet and set up a trust and have the suppressor "owned" by the trust. I don't know how anyone keeps up with this stuff. |

I only shoot S&B in my revolver and lever rifle, either Federal or Lehigh Defensive in my AR, and either CCI or Federal in my .22LR rifle. |

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. I didn't pay MSRP - about $700 less. I knew I could get a bit more when I bought it so I chalked it up as an investment. I had to justify it some way... |

I also know they sell special loads, just for these guns and they use a mix of buckshot and metal disks. I still think it is a novelty. If you want a 2 1/2 pound handgun that kicks like a mule and has a lot of stopping power, get a Charter .44 mag. It worked for David Berkowitz. No thanks on both handguns. When the 454 Casul came out, I was offered a chance to shoot it at a show in Norco, CA and after seeing the abuse the shooter received, passed. Figure same thing with a smaller 44 mag. |
