Thanks.
Yeah, I think all of us who bought in March
pre-rebate leaks (and probably January & February too) feel we got the Big S&W Zingaroo.
Can't blame the dealers. I don't think they knew. Only have myself to blame for buying more
gosh-darn plastic, something an "all-metal" kind of guy like me should
not be doing... and I knew that.
Shame on me.
This was an expensive and very embarrassing "lesson learned" that I'll not soon forget.

Right now is the time to buy the things you somewhat want at amazing deals that won't happen again. The hordes of deals out there is astonishing and should improve over the next couple months. If nothing else you can sell them when the prices stabilize.
Those guns you really want will be around at least a few years at that normal retail price and can wait.

Well, respectfully, yes and no.
I think I get what you're saying and for some it may make sense. The problem is that I am hideously old, retired, dirt poor and only have three "good years" left before all collecting/accumulating must come to an abrupt end. I don't have the time left to focus on cheap plastic bargain guns just because of rebates and crazy low sale prices. I need to focus on my bucket list guns... and not a single one of them has,
or will ever have, a rebate on them.
The Shield .45 was a mistake for me (
for more reasons than just the rebate) which I will work hard to not repeat. I have already purged any and all remaining plastic guns from my 2017 Possibilities List. The only guns I'm going to buy from now on are all-metal guns.
No more getting the Big Zingaroo.
