I just received a S&W 9m/m Shield with safety for $219 bucks shipped including rebate and I really like it. The problem is, now I see a Remington 1911 .45 acp for $409 shipped including $100 rebate. I don't need to spend more money right away but that's almost too good to pass up but it also makes me wonder if prices will be going even lower?

Can't find it in my deleted file. Must of discarded it.
That's how temping it was.
Sorry guys.
Maybe Farmer17 still has it.
 
The gun dealers are desperate to turn-over common inventory.

I'm flush with all the guns I need for the rest of my life, and then some.

I did fam-fire stuff on different guns for decades. Tired of that too.
Tired doesn't begin to describe how I feel about storing un-interesting guns, purchased for no reason than they were a "good deal, and which I might not even shoot one time.

I feel bad for the gun dealers.
A little bit.

I'm gonna go shoot rifle matches for the next four days.
Nothing that will happen there will make me want to buy more guns.
I already have replacement barrels, 'cause you know if I shoot any 7's it wasn't me. Had to be that barrel "going bad."

I figure I've got 200 - 300 range trips left in me.
It really is a lot of work to do it right.
I can't fathom just gathering several guns and going to the range only for the sake of discharging some unfamiliar, but sadly-similar-to-other-guns, gun simply for the sake of discharging it at this point.

Buying new guns is still kind of fun.
Selling no-longer-wanted guns is just a royal pain the the rear.
I'm not signing up for any more of that.

Judging from the desperate sale-offers the gun dealers are running, I'm far from being the only one who feels that way.

I succumbed to the deal on the Shield and picked up a 45 for $225. Although, to be honest, with shipping, transfer fees, and a state background fee I am actually into it for about $260. Still a bargain even at $260.

Me too. Had no actual need for it, but couldn't pass it up.
I'll be all in for about the same.
Mine shipped today, hopefully have it this weekend.
