ArtieS12131 aka "Q" is a Jewel of a Man
I won a Karma some time ago of a SigPro, which happens to be one of my favorite SIGs. Q just found two additional magazines for the gun, and asked me for my home address so he could send them to me.
I got them this week.
Q is a SIG Gentleman of the finestkind.

Looking at you, PHPaul.

Only met him once, but enjoyed the brief chat in the Hot Biscuit parking lot

architectThere are so many stellar individuals here that it isn't easy to pick out the brightest of them, but Q is certainly among them. I would also nominate Dave Truong, the parrot twins, and of course Para. Too bad JAllen isn't still around to be included on this list. There are many others that it is my fault to omit. Thank you all!

Ayuh...
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

sigspecopsQ is indeed the man. I’m forever grateful to him for the P229 I won.

Rey HRHI can't argue with you. An upstanding member of this forum.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

One of the worst-kept secrets on SIGforum, but worth repeating anyway.

SigFanQ’s generosity is the stuff of legends. I was fortunate enough to receive a beautiful West German P228 in one of his Veterans Day karmas a few years back. Such a nice person!
