i was so excited today.  i took my family to visit my parents yesterday, and on the way home, i noticed a new fun shop had moved into a strip mall about 3 miles from my house.  i was hung up at work this afternoon, but hightailed it over to his place this afternoon to take a look at what he had.  yeah, i don't think he'll be around long.  

everything in his place was at or above MSRP...$701 for a 4" ruger gp100.  4.5" XD9M for $700.  1 lb. canister or unique for $30.  a box of 50 ranger SXT in 40 cal: $45.  

I've never in my life seen things priced at retail.  for grins I looked up the GP100 when I got home, and his price is exactly what is on Ruger's website.  The guy's place I usually patronize is about 15 minutes away.  He has the GP for ~$525 and the XD for $575.  The new guy actually had a GON sticker on his door.  I chuckled both coming and going!

Oh well, the hunt for a G17 continues. I guess all in all, it isn't a bad thing...I need a crack dealer that close to my house like I need a hole in my head!

Dang that blows.

nope, i traded it off a while back.  can't say a really miss it either.  10 round mags suck...even in 45 acp.

I just aquired a G17 I don't really need Saturday afternoon in a trade.  I traded my Gen4 for a Gen3 and cash.  I didn't shoot the Gen4 either.  

My local stores are ok, and I do support them...  weekly, but I find better deals on GON.

So what's it like to miss your target that much that you need all that extra ammo?

alright, funny guy.  maybe i just like to hear the repetitive clang of the gong.  tap it in the right spots, and the right speed, and i can play dixie!

Oh well, that's acceptable then.  As long as it's Dixie.

Some guns will bring MSRP for a few short weeks....

The Ruger LCP and LCR were selling at MSRP for at least 6 weeks after they were released.

I've shot the first two and the M&P.

The FNP wins, hands down.  Nice gun that weighs just right for me. Love that gun.

I love my FNP 45 as well. I would not trade it for anything! Well, maybe, I just really like it.

I wholeheartedly agree. 15 rounds of pure shooting pleasure. Best hi-cap off the shelf 45 ever. The thing is a frigging tack driver and fun to shoot. Just holding it makes me grunt.

Your thread title made me think of On The Square Gun and Pawn in McDonough.
