What Guns have you never handled yet ordered off the Internet, and then it turned out to be one of your favorite gun, if any?

I never handeled a Bereta Centurion 92D/96D, but took a chance and bid and won a gunbroker auction 3 years ago for a 92D Centurion. 3 Years later it IS my favorite handgun hands down.. .

I had never handled a sig 226 until I bought one a few years ago. It's still one of my favorites.

well, not exactly not handled, but the .40 s&w slide kit for my 92 has seen more rounds than just 9mm

my Imbel GL FAL receiver was pretty cool too.

I got this from a guy on the EE who heard I was looking for a pistol that fit my hands better than the current P229 I had. Gun had less than 500 rounds fired when I got it and was in 99% condition, never holstered, etc. It is about 3 years old.

Got the P239 for 500 with three different holsters, original box, papers, etc.

It is now one of the favorite compact pistols in my stable. Goes bang every time and I am very accurate with it, even with my smaller hands. Only thing I did to it was add a Hogue rubber grip and a Sig's short trigger. Gun is easy to work on to boot. Even has still very bright factory night sights.

For 500 bucks, I think I scored pretty good. The guy who sold it to me even paid for the shipping. Only reason he sold it was because he had hand surgery and just couldn't take it out to the range anymore.
