I've been "contemplating" an Equalizer since early summer. I read on line reviews which were overall positive.
I'm not a big fan of striker fired gun and had an early M&P9c which I wasn't over fond of and sold to fund a 6906.
At some point I was going to look around for a used one, but people don't seem to be selling them, which I took as a good sign.
Earlier this week while looking for used Equalizers in gun stores, I went to Range USA. They didn't have any used ones, but they had a promotion on an Equalizer with five magazines, an UpLula magazine loader, and carrying case for $529.00.
Hmmmm. That's a good price for all of that considering what Shield magazines go for and what an UpLula goes for.
Still, I didn't want to guy without putting some rounds down range, so I figured I'd go back Thursday or Friday. That didn't happen, but what did happen was that the price dropped to $489.00 for the same package.
So, I went today and put 100 rounds through their rental gun and liked it.
So, here I am actually buying a new gun for the first time in, well in more than a few years.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is that it has no magazine safety, but I have a Mossberg that also doesn't have a magazine safety. This might even replace the Mossberg as my travel gun.
