I just completed the 200 mile round trip to Indy and back for the sole purpose of shopping at the Indy 1500 Gun Show. My primary goal was to find a holster for my Glock 27.
One of the first tables I passed after stepping inside the exhibition hall had a large selection of Glock holsters. Instead of buying one right then and there, I thought I'd visit other tables and return later, so I wouldn't have to carry the bag all day.
When it was time to return to that table, I couldn't remember where it was! So I walked all over the two halls trying to find the damn thing without luck. Then I located a table with some Uncle Mikes holsters and a sign reading, "50% off all holsters and grips". I figured this was my best chance. Sure enough, there was a box for a Size 12 and after confirming the discount applied I paid $13 for the new holster.
A few minutes ago, I tried to slip the Glock into the holster and no way would it fit. I looked on the little identification tag and it says "Size 36!" DOH! Size 36 is made for "2" Small Frame 5-Shot Revolvers with Hammer Spur".
I have no one to blame but myself for not inspecting the merchandise. But, I'm still pissed. 200 miles of driving, $2 for parking, $7 to get into the show, and $13 for a holster that's as useless to me as teats on a boar.
Anyone need this holster? I am willing to trade for something like an AR15 or 10/22 mag.
PS, I did get a deal on a NIB Taurus Model 627 seven shot revolver, .357 mag. Mrs. Commissioner is sitting in the same room as me right now, and I am trying to work up the nerve to tell her about the addition to the collection! She already knows about the botched holster purchase.
