I hate panic-buying. I thought I was stronger than this, but I admit, I panic-purchased a Sig X-Five (competition, 9mm). Here's my justifications:

1. I've always wanted one and would be beyond angry if my opportunity to get one slipped by.

2. Given that this is 19-20 round handgun, there's a chance Sig won't be making them any longer.....a slight chance.

3. I would fee stupid stocking up on magazines for a gun I don't even own.

4. The price hadn't yet gotten too inflated, and I could afford it.

5. Its my way of supporting the firearms community in their time of need.

So, there's my confession - anyone else want to confess to a little "panic buying"?
