Anyone else having luck finding p226 TacOps or Blackwaters?

Gabebowling said:

Naw buddy the p226 TacOps was discontinued around four years ago. Finding one that has stayed in the case mint would be a rare find. From the pictures, it looks to be in excellent condition though!

Edit. Drinking. Misread your “BIN”. What is BIN?

Haha sorry man. Celebrating the ole 31st birthday. Yeah it was.. sent seller a message for a 1200 offer since it wasn’t up for auction; seller wanted to wait a few more days to see if it would go for the 1250 buy it now price so I just bit the bullet!

I know how that goes. Wait and wait then it’s gone and you’re paying more because you want it even worse after you missed it.

No, BIN is where you toss stuff you no long want.

Oh wait, you toss your money there for something else you want. Same thing.

Man that’s the struggle! And it’s not like I’m seeing the TacOps actually selling for over 1300, but I rarely see them on auction or with a buy it now price for lower.. Some crazy had one posted for 2k on GB lol I need whatever that person is smoking

Cheers bama amigo. Nice score and you did not settle...got what you wanted and for a very decent price.

Thanks brother man! I don’t feel too bad about it. Out of my Browning and FN hi powers, various 1911s, and about everything in between, it’s still my favorite to shoot. I have a good bit of my pistols posted on Reddit subs, but Reddit has just went downhill the past few years in my opinion. I really want a p210; that’ll probably be my next purchase.

I almost bought a P210 carry a couple weeks ago. It feels like a sweet little gun, I just couldn’t bring myself to pay what they wanted for it. Bought a P220 Equinox instead. Saved me a couple hundred bucks, but it does feel like a nice little gun.

Oh no doubt buddy. I don’t feel like you can go wrong with anything hammer ran on sig. I bought my ole lady a new 365 XL spectre.. one of the most spongiest triggers out of the box. Polished the trigger and it took out about 1/4inch take up on it. Still isn’t great. The size of the p365s are phenomenal, but triggers on polymer HK, Walther, and Caniks are so much better.

I've been seeing about one Sig TACOPS P226 all 9mm's a year or so on vaguntrader.com or LGS.

I’m accepting a pet opossum that wanders up to eat out of the cat’s food because I’ve grown fond of seeing it come up whenever I get home from this outage and wind down with a few beers. I’m not sure what a bad opossum does; I think it’s a fairly good one lol

I don't mind having a few opossums around they eat lots of ticks and we have way to many ticks. I just need to get my K-9 kids to leave the opossums alone so they can eat the ticks that get on my K-9 kids.

Happy to see I’m not the only one letting them hang out! Get a good chuckle from them freezing in sight or the armadillos waddling off at a fast pace of -2mph

I put cat food out for the opossums in the winter but I need to find a way to get it up off the ground. The coyotes sniff out the cat food and wake us up at Odark30. They don't sound like all those coyote sound bytes on the old western movies.

Well I now have 3 of the P220. I just enjoy the .45. An elderly man told me to enjoy it while I can because as much as he likes a .45 he can no longer shoot them. Made me sad because I am obviously getting older and hadn’t thought about not being able to short a .45 at some stage in my life. Maybe my younguns will get some pleasure out of them at that point. I haven’t messed with the Spectre XL as I am not a fan of cuts in slides. They had one marked down at a LGS for $950 I believe. I almost bought it to try and resale.

Picked one up about 6 months ago from a seller on HKPro. Low round count and it has quickly become one of my favorites. The SRT is terrific, and the front fiber optic sight with the rear night sights make it an excellent night stand gun. Not to mention 20+1 capacity. It is a great shooter.

Those are some good looking rigs man! I love the short extractors. Not that my long ones have ever malfunctioned, just prefer them from a visual aspect

Thank you sir. Yes, I blame this place for getting into my head about the extractor length. I didn't use to pay much attention to that detail but I do now! lol

Ok the P226 TacOps 9mm I saw should be listed today or tomorrow. I believe bidding is gonna be set at $1,500. From what I’m reading here that’s a little high. Gun is coming out of FL. It does have original box, mags, etc..

I have a 1911 Blacwater. I've never seen any other Blackwater editions for sale at gun shops or shows.
