A friend of mine that used to be an ATF agent is going to sell me his old 226 duty weapon, said it is a little scratched up and will sell it to me for $200.00. Is this a good deal? i have never fired a sig before. I use a Glock 32 .357Sig for CCW and my want to carry the 226 but is this 226 to large for CCW compaired to the G32? |

Well after all the waiting for my so called friend to call me to meet me so i could purchase the pistol i got punked. He shows up at my work the day before we are going to make the deal and asks me where i want to do the purchase, told him my house would be best. Then he tells me that he took them into a gun dealer to have them cleaned up and have replacement sights installed, i was thinking to myself this is bogus. So i get home and there is a message on my recorder from my so called friend, Dude the dealer called me just after i left your work and asked me if i was just cleaning them up, i told him i was getting rid of them. Them meaning the Sig P226 and a Glock 17, so he says that the dealer made him an incredible offer and well i think i will take his offer, SORRY MAN! WTF is that. Oh well What are friends for right. |
sorry to hear it. your friend sucks.

AFAIK, ATF agents have never been allowed to carry personally owned handguns on duty (except maybe for undercover assignments). Granted, that might have changed when they went to DHS. And Bill Clinton stopped agencies from selling government owned handguns to individual agents in maybe 1996. FWIW |
