Finally got one of my top of the list guns that I have been after for years. A Sig 226 in 9mm. Came close to a good many but usually either something came up or they cost to much more than what I could offer. But I finally got one. Not only did I get one, but it also covered another big want for my gun collection. I have been on the hunt for a gun that was made the same year I was born to add to my very minuscule collection so someday I can tell my grand kids that this gun is the same age as I am, and this old West German Sig is just that, the same age as me.
It felt great in the hand, felt like a "real gun" and not a toy. Then I went out and shot it.......
This is where the trouble begins...
After the first couple rounds warming up to the trigger, it seemed as though no matter what I did.....ohhh that target.....I just couldn't miss it, even out to 35-40 yards as it bounced away.
So not only did I finally get a pistol I have been after forever, I loved how it feels and shoots.
The problem you ask?
I was perfectly content with my $300-500 dollar Glocks. I only have one at the moment, but have had countless ones. I was fine with what I had and saw no need to look higher up the price chain....
Now instead of $400 Glocks I'm looking at saving up till I can afford a $1,100 Sig.....
I already had got a complete spring replacement set from sig that replaces every spring so as to make sure to keep this baby running till long after I'm dead.
Why did I think this would end well?......
The picture I messed with, I think it looks cool but it made the slide look more worn than it actually is.
