United Strikes Again!

[Bob A]

Stopped by United to do the MD paperwork for a CZ Rami from out of state. By the time I completed it, I noticed a new Colt Python with the 3" barrel, sitting in their display case.

Taking a line thru St. Augustine, I muttered "Lord, make me stop . . . but not yet!"

I'll be picking it up next week, along with the CZ. It had to be done; I can't afford a short-barreled Python from the past - this was easily only a third of the going rate, and I always wanted one, and I saved ten bucks for the MSP by just going for it, and they told me that the short ones aren't as easy to find, and and and.

Sure is purty.

I better wear a blindfold when I go back next week. Thanks, Matt!

Are you a designator collector or does this mean you can't make another purchase for 60 days? (Is that how it works?) I was thinking a pulling off the bandaid and getting another one within the 30 days if possible.

Congrats on the great finds!

No picture?

Been designated collector for years. It costs nothing, you merely send in a form to MSP and they send you a letter a few weeks later. (At least that's the way it used to work. Now that MSP has entered the late 20th century, a lot of stuff gets done on their website instead of on paper. Ask your local gun shop folks; they should be current on the matter).

Sorry; it looks better in person -

Something similar happened to me when I saw a HK P7M8 in the case.

That looks pretty good to me , I wouldn't have been able to leave that one behind either. Something about stainless and walnut( or cocabola?)...........it's just goes together like peanut butter and jelly, throw in an adjustable rear sight and there is no turning back.

Funny you should mention that.

Many years ago I saw a P7 at the old Silver Spring Atlantic Guns. I didn't buy it, but it never really left my mind. Eventually I stumbled on the Cult of the P7 website, and was moved to pick up a couple back then. This was just before the German police guns hit the used market, and I got a couple commercial PSPs for prices in the high three figures. Then the police guns came available for like 600 bucks. Well, I had mine, and turned my nose up at the new arrivals. I've kicked myself more than a few times for not grabbing as many as possible, but I left them for everybody else.

I just knew that that Python, which I need like yet another hole in my head, wouldn't wait around much longer. I had some flexibility in my plastic situation, and I took the leap.

So, how do you like your P7?

It's the same process, just did it two months ago.

Thanks for buying the python.

"I better wear a blindfold when I go back next week."

I know the feeling! Every time I go in to pick up a purchase, I walk out with another appointment for 7 days later. It's uncanny. Great call on the Python!

 

[dh0824]

As if on cue, United updated their consignment pics. Once again, I fell victim. Hah. So many toys!

I went there on a Saturday morning last month to pay and start paperwork on a pistol I spotted right here on MDS. When I went back to pick it up I saw another one I just had to have. The following Saturday I went to pick it up and made a conscious effort to NOT look in the display cases or on the wall! LOL! At $5/gallon I just can't drive from Bel Air to Rockville every week!

We should start a support group...where one person gives the other rides every week. Hah. Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

Damn AR 15 looks odd for some reason. I think United sold you a fake.

AR15?

I was reliably informed by the media that it was a Glock.

Look at the mat that the pistol is sitting on. But if the media says it is a Glock,. It must be a 9mm.

 

[TheOriginalMexicanBob]

Does that mean this is really a Glock?
