      I just got back from the gun store to pick up a case for my Springfield M1A Scout. There's a Beretta 92G-SD that's been sitting in the display case for almost a month now. This is the third or fourth time I've decided to sleep on it and I have the sinking feeling that it's not going to be there when I come back... tomorrow.

        Don't buy it, it's not meant to be and PM me the location of said pistol, I will take care of things for you.

            I hate regretting a purchase. Especially if it's just sitting there, being ogled by others. You know what to do OP. Report back from garage or shed where you'll be sleeping

              I made the mistake of passing on a really nice used S&W 586 6". Decided to go back and bite the bullet. Showed up at the store the next morning when they opened. Gun was gone. Sold 5 minute after I turned it down, 30 minutes before the store closed.

              Saw an awesome deal on a 1903 Springfield here on CG. Decided to think about it for a few minutes. Went back to the thread 10-15 minutes later and it was sold.

              I still regret both of those near misses.

              Buy it!!!!

                  Well... you have to decide between money and a gun.

                  Can you get the gun later? Unlikely. This is California, and it either is or will be off-roster tomorrow.

                  Can you get the money later? Sure. It's called a job.

                      In ten days, a shady man will approach you. You pull out:

                      A) The money you were trying to save
                      B) A Range Officer Compact with eight rounds of "Were you talking to me?"

                          Are they still open?

                          You can go right now before someone swoops in and buys it before you.

                          I wouldn't wait.

                                How about a compromise since the owner did say he would hold it for you?
