After researching the prices for used Sig 226 X5 in Calguns and other forums I realized that for a minimum additional fee I could purchase a new one.
Placed a bid on a 226 X5 in 40 (already own several 9mm pistols) and to my surprise no one else bid on it! Seller was Big Deez Guns in AZ. Local FFL was Arts Pawn Shop in Whittier.
Communication through GB was great, BDG promptly answered several of my very apprehensive questions. I mailed the USPO money order via register mail. The 226 was shipped (free) USPS the same day the funds arrived.
Scott at Arts Pawn was very helpful. One meeting for him to email his FFL, another one to do the paperwork and finally a day to pick it up. No crowds to content at APS, I brought all the required paperwork and I was out in less than 15 minutes. He has made a few transfers for Calguns members and did not make me buy a lock (Sig had one)
As always we have to pay the sales tax (pay unto Caesar...)
My target received with the weapon, time to reload its favorite fodder.
