[Firearms Collector]

Got an email this morning from Sportsmans Outdoors. They are having a sale.
They have Full Size Equinoxes of the P220 in 45 and the P226 in 9MM. I was in
too much of a hurry last year and purchased a P220 carry model and a P226 Full
Size in 40 S&W.
They also have Winchester 9MM Nato for $99.99 for 500 rounds plus Some other Sigs and FNs on sale
Wish They had a Full Size P229 in 9MM.

Hindsight: woulda... shoulda... coulda... an affliction that gets us all!!!

Don't beat yourself up. If we all waited for better deals to come around, we wouldn't own a thing!

 

[steved13]

In situations like this I remind myself, that I have been enjoying my purchase in the mean time, so the extra cost did have some value, in time, and life is short.

 

[Firearms Collector]

Yep.
Problem with the P220, when I purchased it back in December I thought I was getting a Full Size. I did not know that the "3" after the R meant it was a Carry. Did not figure it out until after I got home and looked at the 2013 Catalog and saw it. I had had the catalog with Me at the show but did not look at it.
As for a Full Size P 229 Equinox, I just googled it and found out that there are No Full size models of the P229 only "carry" models. So I'm out of luck on ever finding a full size Equinox.
Since I've never fired or registered it, I just might decide to try and trade the Carry P220 Equinox in on a Full Size Model P220 Equinox. That is if I can find one.
Did see a P229 Equinox in 9MM at the GS this past Sunday.

Hindsight is one thing buyers remorse is another. The good thing, you can ALWAYS add to your collection!!!! Enjoy the two very fine guns you have

9 times out of 10 waiting just means waiting longer before you can shoot it. Don't worry about it, enjoy it instead.

If yall ever hear that I died and left Mrs MA6907 penniless, someone please call and explain to her that it was due to Gunbroker doing business on the face of the planet. Right now, she does not know about my problem.

I paid WAY more for that 6" 10mm 1911 range toy than I could get it for now. But, I wanted it then. And it's pretty when it's all clean and shiny.

I paid WAY more for my P220 DA/SA Reverse Two-tone 10mm than I could have if I waited. But I wanted to make sure I got MINE!!

I'm hoping there will be a P229 Equinox in 9MM at next months Gun Show in Houston. The one that I saw this past weekend is the first I've seen in close to a year. There also was a
P238 HD but it was priced a little too high @$699.00. Also could not understand why certain models of the P238 were priced higher that the same model in P938

I'm still puzzled at how a pocket pistol can cost as much as a full-size combat pistol. :huh:

Should have kept my Colt Python back in the 70's. We've all been there.....and then some.

As long as it's just big enough to get "SIG SAUER" on the side of it, it's going to cost you.

Beat yourself up. Did you absolutely need that 226 at the time? I would never settle for a 40cal personally as the round is just asinine to me. I just stay patient as I have plenty of pistols to shoot and wait for that 9mm deal to plop itself into my lap. I found mine by emailing a seller on gunbroker and making him a cash offer.

I bought the S&W MP Shield 9MM because it was dirt cheap.
After rebate $245.00 shipped. How could it ever be less?

Well, yesterday PSA sent an email and it is now $30.00 less.
$215.00 after rebate shipped

I was robbed:lolu:

Don't think you are alone getting a carry when you thought you bought a full sized Sig. Salesman handed me a full sized P227 after looking it over i said i would take it, got me filling out paper work and went off he said to get a brand new one from safe, brought back a box i quickly looked it over did not notice it was a carry.

What the guy did was just push out the carry i only noticed it when i got home but i was really happy with it being the smaller Sig. i did not know there was a carry i had just read an article about the full sized one.

Later when i brought it up to the owner of store they offered to let me swap the carry for a full sized Equinox i just said i was happy with the carry and had invested a lot of money in Ammo. shooting it already.

Wish I had had a Python, but opted for the Smith Model 19 instead, back in the 70's. I wish that I still had it also.
