    Sig P229 .40 S&W. Plain jane one, nothing fancy.
    Bought used for a (IMHO) excessively high price at LGS minutes earlier.

    I had a real bad run of new guns starting in 1977 and continuing almost without a break until about 1983. Used ones were pretty good.

    I had a chance to buy some of it for a cheap price. Glad I passed, and glad she wasn't hurt too badly. I've never had a gun blow up on me, yet.

    Yeah, after a friend's lost it and we took about 20 minutes to find it in the leaves and sticks on the ground. Just a little makes it not happen anymore.

    You and my late mother would have gotten along great.

    My dad, and I many years apart, to mom: "Why are you all dressed up?"
    Mom: "I'm going to the grocery store".

    I saw another 28-2 at a local gun store yesterday, and the price was just "OK", but the gun itself was very nice, box and sales receipt included. I somehow willed myself to pass on it, and the next...

    I finally got around to "decapping" the little points on the gun. It only took a few minutes with a fine grit sanding stick. About 10 strokes took care of it. VASTLY better. I haven't shot it, but...

    Girsan MC9 T/MC9 Match.

    I can't pass up an insanely cheap gun, and I bit on this. Sort of an M&P clone from what I've read and seen, but I don't have a lot of experience with M&P's to be honest. $360+ship+transfer, usual...

    I'm not crazy about the capacity, but I can overlook it. I'll have to take a look at the striker area. I hadn't heard of any problems with the gun other than someone cracked the frame on an early one.

    It's cheap enough that I don't fear modifying it, and I really dislike taped/sleeved grips for some reason. My Sig P226SSE would never be modded.

    Beretta APX A1 Carry: I like it, but..

    I bought the APX AI Carry about 2 weeks ago. It was $219 after the rebate. Mine is all black, there was an FDE one cheaper, for some reason. I'm not an FDE fan at all, so $10 less isn't enough to...

    I've never seen my eye doctor in anything but scrubs. He's insanely busy, and even when I ran into him while he was picking up take out, he had the scrubs on.
