Rsquared Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Well fella's. Just picked up my present to myself. A brand-spanking new Sig P220 dark elite w/factory threaded barrel. First impressions......well....it's a Sig. Sig = Quality. Nice feel, nice weight to it and I'm looking forward to getting out and taking her for a spin. Also got the piston for it so she'll be right at home on my AAC Ti-rant.Now on another note. The gun store was F-ing crazy. It looked like a grocery store right before a snow storm. Anyone who's ever been even near the Washington DC metro area knows what I mean by that. From what had been a wall full of "evil and scary" looking black rifles (and others) just a week before, it was now completely bare except for a few shotguns and bolt guns. Talk about being raped and pillaged! The line (never stood in one before) was at least 15 to 20 people deep. Sheesh.....what a pain in the ass.Anyway....pics are soon to follow (play time first). With.......and without the can on it. I know you guys will be on my ass with no eye candy to go along the "just got my new toy" story.See ya' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 GREAT gun! I have the P220 Carry Elite Stainless, and I use it every day for patrol. Nice buy!I'm thinking about contacting BAR-STO or EFK about a threaded or ported barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripledeuce Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Is it just me, or does it look like that can is pointed downhill? Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Is it just me, or does it look like that can is pointed downhill? Respectfully TerryI'm guessing that it must be the shitty picture that I took there Trip. Holding it out in front of me, it looks fine. Might be the angles of the slide or the slight cant in the pic. But I thought the same thing after I posted that pic.There are 4 branches to the BATFE brother, better get you some tannerite and take care of that 4th branch! <thumbsup>You're right Matt. But I only have 3 of the branches on hand........thus the reference. I'll work on the 4th. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just as a reference, I figured that I'd throw this up here to show the can on my HK. Granted.....different piston in the can....and a different barrel that it's being threaded onto (not really an apples to apples comparison). But the square lines of the HK show everything as straight. Where as the Sig has a slight angle from the rear of the slide to the ejection port area.Not trying to make excuses. Could be the miller genuine draft. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Now on another note. The gun store was F-ing crazy. It looked like a grocery store right before a snow storm. Anyone who's ever been even near the Washington DC metro area knows what I mean by that. That's HILARIOUS, brother!!! I lived in Hoodbridge, and I KNOW!!! <lmao> Fights over toilet paper, milk and bottled water... <laughs>If you got to the store too late, you missed the fights, and you can't fuckin' find ANY toilet paper, milk, or bottled water... ;D <thumbsup>I don't miss that place in the least, man... I wish you luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Can't say that I blame you for not missin it 98. I'm just counting down the days until I can get the hell out of this madhouse myself. Hmmmmmm....Wyoming seems better and better to me every (and I mean every) F-ing day.

98Z5V Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 That wicked-ass snowstorm in Jan-Feb 2010 - I was the only guy within 400 yards that had a generator. I wired that bastard into the house, fired it up, and had what I needed, in a minimal fashion...When the lights came on... The neighbors freaked... <lmao> <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Ah-ha.....the 2 footer. Yes....I remember that well. Crippled the area. And all of the sheep (people)......trying to desperately move around in search of thier toilet paper and milk. (it's a DC thing....98 gets it) HA!You know how it is my man. Definitely if you were in the woodbridge (pronounced hoodbridge) area. I was in the "hood-ish" area of PG county of Maryland. Yet another "Fine" place to be.At least you got out. I'm just waiting, and counting the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I've got a place for ya out here in the desert, brother. The Wild West. It may very well be the last bastion of sanity, in the not-too-distant future. It's mainly free of fuckin' ignorant liberals. Mainly...You are welcome, with open arms - and all your arms. <thumbsup> :happydrunks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
