BUT would he suck out the snake venom if you got bit in the ***? Being a good Buddy and honest aint easy. My Bud has been trying to buy my stainless sig 220 forever, I always say no, but if I ever find one I'll lay out the money and you can have it at my cost. wouldn't you know it I come across 2 stainless sigs, a 239 40 cal and a 220, 500$ each. it turns out the 220 is not stainless but both were tricked out, nickel plated, internal lasers, fiber optic sights, action & trigger jobs and hand stippling around the front of the grips, real beauties and done by someone that really knew what they were doing! And a serious test of my honesty and our friendship, I let him have it for 500$, after some range time to make sure they worked of course.
