Get a piece of history!
To: numberonepal
Why do I expect these to be sort of a ripoff?

Probably the earlier model that can fire if dropped a certain way.

I was going to say, did they take the initially defective product call it historical so they can put it back on the shelf?

Get a piece of history! I guess history isn't as far back as it used to be. IMO, the M1917 is a "Piece of history" that worked, served it's purpose well and earned it's place in the history books. The M17 is just a piece of old junk.

A piece of history. The first US military pistol primarily designed to be easy for chicks to use.

Unless it can micro-stamp, we can’t have it here in CA.

Are you suggesting that the Cop 'friend' acquire the gun for him? That'll go over well...

What I am suggesting is that his Cop friend acquire the gun, since police are exempt from only purchasing from the CAL DOJ approved list, even for personal use.
Then, if the Cop friend ever tires of the SIG, then he is legally allowed to sell it to our CA civilian FRiend.

I get it, though I am not sure that in CA a cop can resale a gun that wasnt on ‘the list’. If thats true I guess thats a good loop hole.

Yeah, he’s out on the lake with my boat. BTW, they’re about to close that loophole (LEO) too.

They did that already when they issued the Baretta back when I was in the Corps replacing the 1911’s

When it comes to military handguns, as far as I am concerned, the only piece of history that exists is the 1911. That probably indicates a certain amount of mental disorder, but I can live with it.
I got the one Colt made staring of with the next serial number after their government contract. First, I found a set of walnut diamond grips at a gun show to replace the composite grips it came with. Years later an acquaintance, who custom builds pistols, pawed around in his junk and found the piece with the lanyard loop and the original metal long trigger to replace the plastic (!?!) one it came with.

Beats me but I have a Sig M17 that is faithful to the issued version.

I hated the 1911 that was issued to me...It was beat. The slide actually
rattled on it. The armorer actually cracked that he thought my issue made
the Iwo Jima landing...lol. I shot "marksman" with it. Next year I got the
Baretta and shot "expert" every time after. That being said, the Baretta was
still a chick gun. ;~)

What they want to say is a piece of future history. Robert A. Heinlein and John W. Campbell Jr. would be so proud.

BTW, theyre about to close that loophole (LEO) too. Which loophole? No longer allowing LEOs to buy off-list handguns, or no longer allowing LEOs to sell off-list handguns to non-LEOs?
Either way it's not surprising, since they busted some cops who were making a cottage industry out of buying off-list handguns and reselling them.
