Nice gesture. I wonder if he'll accept. I've been keeping an eye out for these since they were introduced. *sigh* Another job for the secret credit card. */sigh* |

The P226 is a great gun, if I was in the market for one, I would buy this edition. It seems to be for a good cause, and I commend SIG for their charitability. We need more arms manufacturers to show this kind of support for their biggest "group buy" customers. Oh, and SF_Chris, it's always nice to see a bonafide Special Forces member on these boards.
