I picked this up a few months ago when our local Gander Outdoors was going out of business.. Sale lasted quite awhile with most of store 40%-50% off except for guns/ammo which stayed at 15%.. Until I walked in on the last weekend open when all remaining guns were 40% off plus a little nore if a member!! Place was nuts with a waiting line at gun counter for over an hour for purchases.. I was a little faster with my CPL but still was a wait..
This is a Sig Sauer Sub Compact 9mm P320.. First Sig ive owned and had only shot around 100 rounds through until i brought it with me while driving south for Holiday vacation.. Cousin took me to his local range and ran over 500 rounds through her without a single flaw.. For me the highlight is the trigger, almost perfect for my taste straight out of the box and it comes back on target rather nicely also.. Better than my Glock 19?. Not sure on that yet but no regrets buying so far..
Other gun I purchased at 40% off was a Weatherby Vanguard .243.. Have not shot that yet..

Nice scores. I missed out on the Gander Mountain sale.

Thanks.. I only went there because i had heard it was going to be the last weekend they were to open.. The store by that time was almost empty because of the massive liquidation of stock @ up to 75% off was nuts so didnt expect to come out with anything.. But when i saw the discount on the guns i just couldnt pass that deal up... Feel i got very lucky because the doors were locked shut the next day..

There's a local gunshow this weekend and it lines up with my birthday!

I have shot a bunch, but still have pretty limited knowledge....

Any tips I should know? Just in case I find myself overcome with an acquisition disorder....

Sigs will spoil you. Yes, they are a step up from Glock and a HUGE step up if you get into the Legion series. I have eyeballed the p320 several times.

Well one thing i am going to do for sure is stay clear of any manufacturer vs Glock is better.. From lots of experience almost all Glock owners will accept no substitute... I have owned the 26,43,17 and 19 and still have the 26 & 17... I myself have never, ever had or have seen a miss fire with a Glock.. I was going to do a little write up on the Glock 20 10mill that my cousin bought and i got to fire a number of rounds through the other day.. Without a doubt the most fun and maybe best Glock i have personally shot.. Looks a little intimidating but with that big chunk of a slide and the perfect weight it handles and comes back on line flawless!! I liked a lot..
Now to the Sigs.. I have really enjoyed this p320 and asthetically like better than Glock.. Trigger as stated before is so smooth with an almost perfect break for me.. This lists as a sub compact but driving with it on my hip it is a little big for long periods in the waist area and might be better in shoulder holster.. Even before i grabbed this Sig i have been eye balling the p365 9mm micro for an ultra conceal carry.. Had one in my hand many times but we have 1 gun range that has them for range rental but everytime i have went to test 1 out they are already rented.. They are a hot item in this area.. I am not one to be set on a particular brand of hand gun.. Ive owned a number.. Glock, Kahr, SW, Ruger,Beretta, Bersa, Colt and now Sig.. Never really had any issues with any of said manufacturers having discharge issues but my main carry for years has been my Glock 26 because i feel i could drop that in in 2ft of water with it sinking in 8 inches of mud and 100% feel she would still fire if needed in a bad situation...
I do look forward to buying another Sig after thus purchase though..

I will never badmouth a Glock, they are the ak-47 of the pistol world. They work. All I am saying is I own several sigs and they are a whole other class of weapon. Years ago I made a move to downsize quantity and go up in quality. Sigs are like straight razors, you cant have just one. On the ultra compacts, look at the sig 938. Most accurate ultra compact I have shot or owned. Being a 1911 nut, it reminds and feels like a mini 1911.

The only ammo I have ever seen with a crimped business end were blanks for like a starter's pistol.

I used blank rounds like that on excerise in the Army.

It can get tricky to tell without firing one to see it it is a blank or bird shot. Some 22 cal bird shot comes with the crimped end while other have a transparent cap.

They look like these for powder actuated fastening systems.
