    Just upping the inventory.
    I took my Taurus 24/7 .45ACP back to the dealer for some work last week. While I was there I noticed they had a decent sale on XD9's. I've been wanted the "M" series but I'll settle for the old school model at the right price so I told them to take it off the shelf for a few days while I think about it. I'm also gonna grab a Walther P22 for a cheap plinker, $300 is a decent deal.
    Anyways, I was checking out a BEAUTIFUL used Sig Sauer SP2022 in .40cal w/ stainless slide for $489. I mean BEAUTIFUL!!! Looks brand new, even comes with the original case. So since I'm buying the other two pistols the owner of the gun shop said he could give me the Sig for less than $400. I've always wanted a Sig...
    So I did some research and apparently the SP2022 is VERY rare to come in .40 and almost unheard of with a stainless slide. I already knew the model was discontinued but was unaware of how rare it might be (and I'm thinking the store is unaware of this too.) So I was wondering of anybody knew anything about this particular gun.
    Sorry so long, I'm just excited!

    ...I'd jump on it..I wouldn't use the term rare...but uncommon is very appropriate.. : )
    and the price is good for any .40 sig : ) Get'r done !!

    Yea I can't wait wait for the P22! A day at the range gets expensive when you go through a few boxes of 9s, 40s, and 45s. Now I can shoot all day for $20.

    Quite interesting indeed... However I am more knowledgable on the rifle side here :/
    wish I could lend more help on handguns but I'm just not too sure there. Maybe try an online handgun forum if google doesn't produce your answers

    You're right, uncommon is more appropriate.
    Yea I'm pretty sure I'm gonna take it. I have til Friday to make up my mind.
    And yea sig's are great. Shot a bunch, just never owned one. Always more money than I've wanted to spend.

    Hey Jim, the gun shop that your talking about, it wouldnt be Lou's would it? I personally love guns, wish I had more funds to buy them. I only have a baby Glock for now, but hoping to get others fire arms in the future. I would love an AR-15. Unfortunately FLA has strict gun laws and we cant "carry" anything without a CCW.

    I've got a 800M + LAR-15 I would let go for 1400.;D

    I absolutely love the XDs. Unfortunately, I have a short thumb and cannot drop the mag.

    That is a good price on the Sig. They are awful nice. Wish I had one.
