Do you ever go to buy a certain handgun and buy something else?

I walked in to buy a USP .40 SS and came out with a USP .45 instead. Go figure. :eek: Actually, I layed it away, but it's mine all the same. :p

I did the same thing last time. Went in for a Glock 32 and came out with a G19 instead.

Oh, the USP is a Var. 1 with "Hostile Environment" finish.

Do any of you guys (and gals) ever go in to buy that special pistol or revolver only to come out with something else?

I frequently go to the gun shop in search of a rifle (I really do need at least ONE rifle), and every stinking time, come home with another handgun. Hence, I do not own a single rifle. I did it today. I went there thinking I would pick up a Winchester 30/30, got a Ruger Blackhawk instead.

A few weeks ago, I went there to pick up a mil-spec Springfield, came home with a Sig P229.

That's as far back as my memory goes; this story could go on and on ... and on.

Went out to but a Beretta 92F, ended up buying a 96D. Never regretted the decision, especially after the magazine ban too effect.

Haven't walked out with a gun instead of the one I went for, but I have walked out with another gun in addition to the one I was shopping for.

I've repeatedly tried to buy a Walther PP/PPK/PPKs. Would walk into the shop, fondle it, work the action, try the single action pull, and then try it DOUBLE action and get a herniated finger.

I'd then walk out empty handed with money in my pocket cause I wanted a "James Bond" gun, and nothing else. I still don't have one, but maybe one of the french PP's in 7.65 for under 275 used...

PS: come to think of it I rarely walk into a gunshop to buy a gun. I go in to get an accessory or ammo or information. It's like walking by a bunch of puppies in the pet store window and just having to bring THAT one home.

Yeah, well I walked into the store looking for a case of primers and walked out with a USED S&W Mod. 10. Hell, I headed to Safeway for a loaf of bread and came home with a Marlin 1894S (No, Safeway doesn't sell guns.)

Went into the gun store with $ 700 in my hand to get a P220 and came away with the 92FS limited edition.

Don't regret the decision because I got the SIG later anyway.

I went to my local gunstore to buy a used Ruger 10/22 which I had been interested in for a long time. Instead I came out with a Colt Flattop Match Target.

PS: The 10/22 is still there calling my name.

Went in to buy a Sig 245, picked it up, then picked up the Sig 220 next to it. Went home with the 220.

Then there is the time I went in to buy a Remington 700 and came home with a Sig Sauer 202 instead.

I won't even get into shotguns.
