OMG My New Pistol FINALLY Came In

[wcsc12]

So, here's a nice story for you guys.

Shortly after I bought my Sig P226 .40, I ordered a P226 Elite Dark 9mm with Threaded Barrel for my dad. I mean literally like 2 weeks after I got my gun back in like March or so. Well, not one of Sig's distributors had one (I called everyone of them to see) and so I had one order it for me. As of yesterday, they just got it in. We are talking almost 8 months of waiting to get a gun. When the lady from the store called me, I swear I had no idea what was going on. She said, your gun is in. I said "Huh?"

But new pics will be shown once it gets to the FFL Thursday I believe.

The super sad part is I want to sell my P226 and buy either an Elite Dark .40 or a .40 TacOps but that's for another thread . I asked her if she had any of those in stock and the answer was no but we could order it for you and I thought...another 8 months

Regardless of how nice the pistol is, you do realize that you just lost 177 points for starting a thread "OMG", right?

I was about to make a crack about starting a thread title with OMG but...thanks.

Anyway, congrats to the OP.

Yes but if you didn't say OMFG to waiting 8 months to get a bloody gun, you're the most patient man alive

Nice. I may need to look into this "instant rebate" thing. That price is slightly lower than what I would pay after the instant rebate.

I bought a Sig 226 from that vendor for my son's birthday. I got a great price and free shipping. They were cheaper than anyone by far.

hahaha...that instant rebate is just a way to skirt Sig's new MAP (minimum advertised Price) agreement they have with their dealers. This way he can say he is in compliance while lowballing everyone else.

Well being a frugal man, I support this

I was giving OP the benefit of the doubt and assuming OMG stood for "Ordered My Gun".

Niceness...well no update as of yet. I didn't get a chance to pick it up until Monday as for some reason, my FFL was closed on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last week. I picked it up on Monday but haven't had a chance to go and shoot it yet. It does feel pretty good though. I am absolutely in love with those aluminum grips. They way they make the frame feel in my hand is perfect. So hopefully, I'll get a chance to go shooting on either Tuesday or Wednesday coming up. I may have to make a payment to TGO though to sell my old P226...but that's another thread for another day.
