SW40VE-new box w/ 2 14 round mags

Orig price $359.99
Sale Price $329.99
-$20 Inst REB
-$30 Inst REB (some nice looking older lady gave it to me while waiting in line)
-$50 mail in REB

$229.99 total =D


I mean, I would have had a hard time stomaching paying full price for this thing because it is essentially a cheaper version of the glock but for the $ getting something in .40 S&W this is a freaking steal!
------------------------------
=So there was this old guy in the line who was on a electric wheel chair who weighed a cool 440 at +60, he kept complaigning out loud about how his wife left him and stole his retirement and all of his guns, so he said he was coming in store to buy the guns at the checkout counter to go shoot her.

After the 5th time he said it and after the 5th time he called all women $#%%'es, the lady at the counter told him to f' off and leave. He was like "Dude wtf is was a joke" but the manager came over and had to get an escort to wheel this man out. Then some guy in the line mouthed off to him and I swear to god I was going to see old men jump the table, load up and start shooting each other. There is no waiting period on hand guns here so pretty much they had to cover their asses when 50 plus people hear this guy is going to go murder someone, you can't sell him a weapon.



I'm not sure I want to be part of this crowd, but too late lol

OH HOT SHIT! Thats what I had.
Great gun, loved shooting it. Yup, you got a good deal. I paid 300 when it was brand new (before they got sued by Glock).

Part of what crowd? Gun owners in America are not a "crowd". 40-50 million households in the US have a firearm.

just go back from local gun show. waste of tme and money. $8 to park and $8 to get in. Even had to park like a mile away from the entrance. Everything is so overpriced, even the stuff that you wouldn't think would be.

Yeah I hate those triggers. The firearm itself isn't bad I mean it's a John Browning design so the firearm should shoot fine, but the trigger sucks, Enjoy.

I was just kidding. I just meant that while I was in the store, I was literally in a crowd that seemed to be filled with (FALSE) caracatures of standard gun owners. It would be like going to a state fair and being surrounded by carnies who all really do have small hands.


Either way, I'm very happy with my purchase, it is going to serve it's purpose well as a last point of home defense against the zombie zerg, without costing me a huge amount of $.



OH , and apparantely if you've been adopted the government "FLAGS" you as if you are some sort of questionable entity requiring further review =\ lol

I had a LOT of fun and frustration teaching my wife to shoot.

I'd actually like to be a firearms instructor. I used to teach and help run almost every range we did in the Army.

I did, for a while.
Had to sell the thing when I got out of the Navy. Was stationed in California when I got the gun. They allow non-residents to purchase firearms if they are active duty.
I stayed in the state for a month after my discharge, but the whole time I was there I never declared residency. I didnt know where my next job would be, and many moving companies wont take firearms.
Never thought they would stop making the Sigmas so I sold the thing to avoid a lot of hassles and figured I could buy another someday.
Didnt happen. By the time I got setup in my new job and house they had already been sued and couldnt produce them anymore.

I only just discovered recently (on Anandtech of all places) that they changed the trigger a little bit and Glock got off their backs.
Have heard from many people like yourself that the new trigger isnt as good.

Cabelas in St. Louis

There was a $20.00 inst REB (for orders over $100) circulating through mail and then I think if you have a credit card w/ them or just a email registration there is also a $30 inst reb (For orders over $150) circulating as well.

You can use both of them, the clerk was like "WTF?? Ok whatever..." That was a nice Christmas gift =). I wouldn't be surprised if they stop doing it soon.

The $50 MIR is from the manufacturer, so you can either get it from them when you buy it or go grab it off S&W website.




EDIT* if you decide to get a credit card too I think it's probably an additional 10% off or 20 as well
