Leave the gun.
Take the cannoli.

Bought one heavily discounted just like 453030’s and regret not buying a few more. Mastershop guns are probably doing better than my retirement accounts.

You have to wonder what SIG was thinking when they replaced the gen 1 B&W with the gen 2.



Serious about crackers

Yeah, now that I think about it I might as well shoot it. Didn't buy it to let it sit. I'm a shooter, not a collector.

I trust the build quality on these pistols. They are substantial. And in my hand, they feel so awesome. I tend to like many different handguns, but the Mastershops "feel" the best for me.

Ditto that. I shoot them all. I hate cleaning a few of the them ... but I shoot them anyway and then clean them well . . . and then appreciate them.

It is about to return to duty :-)




I would love to buy one like yours, but hard to find!

I'll be honest, I have not looked for them but know they are somewhat rare and pricey. This worked very easy for me, as the gun was purchased direct by a close friend and he was the only owner. It could easily pass as BNIB. I know he still has a PPC X6, maybe I should start planting some seeds...
