Title: 2 guns so little money
Post by: Galeth005 on April 09, 2009, 09:01:34 PM
so here is my predicament... yes another one...

I have the choice.. the misses says i can buy 1 more gun before we go on vacation... and my local gun store has a sig 229 refurb for 559, this gun is like the one gun i wish to own before i die. dont ask me why it just is.  the gun is the same price for a glock 27.  now i already own 2 glocks a 26 and a 22.  these are the 2 pistols i am debating on  buying... someone talk me out of either please...

the 27 would be the logical choice (backup for the 22 with interchangeable ammo and mags)

BUT, the sig is a really good price.  Is it a 9 or 40?

If it is a 40, trade the 26 and get both  ;D

You may see a 27 for around that price again, maybe not so for the 229. Do what you can afford. You probably can't afford to piss off the wife. I guess you could take her to the gun store and show her the Wilson Combat 1911 that you want, then say, "oh wow! I could get both this Glock and this Sig for less than that 1 Wilson!".

they dont have the wilson combat srry.. but they do have a s&w 38 super all chromed out with funky engravings on it. they dont have the price on that one posted. so maybe i'll convince them to tell her its $3,000 and i want it so bad. then point out the 229 and the 27. and say hey i could get those 2 for less than half of that one... thanks for the idea!!!! ;D
