239 9mm doesn’t look fired or worn still had blue and white Sig wrapper on grip with 6 sig magazines and sig night sites, grabbed it quick, thought it was a great deal.

Congrats. Decent price and a great pistol. You won't be sorry.

I will never understand why some people buy a gun and never fire it.

Impulse?

With the mags and sights, that's a pretty awesome price.

With the magazines that's a great price. You could sell off a few mags and be in it for very cheap.

Damn, which shop? I’m local and would love to visit a shop with good inventory

The mags made that a good deal.

Dammit man...we need pics!

Nice deal on great pistol

The only thing better than a P239 9mm is a P239 .357 SIG. Nice score!

I'll buy a gun with the best of intentions of shooting it but just never get around to it. I have several that still need to be shot for the first time; I'd guess it's probably 8-10 LNIB guns in my stable at the moment.

For example, I bought a CZ Custom Shop Bull Shadow. I was busy at work at the time and didn't get to the range. Then I got a G19 gen 5 MOS and a gen 5 G43. I mounted a red dot on the G19 and have been enjoying the heck out of it. Meanwhile the G43X and G48 came out. So I got one of each of those and have been shooting them a bunch as they're my carry guns now.

I have yet to shoot the CZ or the G34. I recently got into AK's and have 6 new ones now. I probably won't get around to shooting all of them for a while.

A couple years from now I might find that gen 5 G34 still unshot or an AK still unshot, or the CZ...why do I still have this? let's sell it...

...that's how it happens for me anyways. Too many guns and too little time.

I found it at Four Seasons in Woburn.

I have firearms in my safe that I've never fired. Some that have never been fired.

Some I bought because they were a good deal, or simply because I wanted them, or because there might be a day when my kids couldn't get them, so I did.

I have a Kimber revolver that I bought used, but if it took one cylinder full of ammunition by the original owner, I'd be surprised. The shop sold it to the man, an older gentleman, and he brought it back and put it up on consignment not long after. I bought it, shot it, and found it hurts to fire, so no doubt he sold it for the same reason. I'm keeping it...but I suspect there are a lot of reasons that firearms don't get used.

When my father in law passed on, my wife got some of his firearms, some of which had virtually no use and were pristine.

With six mags? No brainer!
