Thanks for all the input, was really just trying to get a feel for what NIB constitutes in the gun market. I have purchased 2 pistols in the past, and both came from the back with factory wrappings etc, so I just needed clarification. I was under the impression that a discount was given, from any other "open box" type scenario. I guess in the case of guns, a few dry firings, and minor handling is nothing in terms of the life of the pistol. I will more than likely purchase the P220 match elite tomorrow, just needed some reassurance stating that a discount of some kind wasn't warranted. It's a beautiful gun with a sweet trigger, and just feels plain good in my hand.
