Shit!
Fuck you, Bud's Gun Shop Make an Offer damn shit.
I make offers all the time. Always been curious if anything would actually give me a REAL discount; not the typical 'deny everything except ~1-4% below list.'
Was wanting a truly CC'able 9mm, not owning any single stacks anymore. Was gonna just buy another Kahr- they can be had for close to $300 or so for the CW9 or CM9. Saw the P290RS's down to $350 for the basic, black, contrast sights offering. Kahr's faux-double-action is not bad; but Sig's DAO triggers have a lot better feel and I think true DAO or DA/SA is a good feature for a carry gun. So I was a bit on the fence.
I'm a sucker for stainless and Sig's night sights are quite decent, but that model currently lists for over $150 more, at $515. I thought, 'fuck it, if they'll give me that one for only $50 more than the super-cheap model, I'll buy it...'
$394 accepted. P290RS 9mm, stainless slide ('two-tone'), Siglite sights, one 6rd mag and one 8rd mag (takes the grip from PM/CM9 or even LCP-sized to more like P239-sized). Not the deal of the century, but, meh...I'll take it. For a small polymer DAO pistol, I don't think you can do much better. G27 is more ammo but way fatter, Kahr is cheap and light but trigger is 'difficult,' neither offer restrike. Also, Glocks, M&P/Shields, ect are a bit too close to a safetyless SA pistol for me to be comfortable. Pre-cocked DAO (or/many decocker DA/SA's) is nice for the still relatively short trigger (compared to a revolver. Or Kahr) but with a modestly long/stiff pull (...TWSS?)
