Went to the local gun show yesterday, and just for grins carried around my Taurus PT92 9mm with the thought that if I could get enough $ or a good enough trade, I'd part ways with it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great pistol, but I got it for a song several years ago, and there are other pistols I would RATHER have, so I brought it along. Walked the whole show, and found a beauty of a Sig P6 on one guy's table. Blue Sig box, 2 mags, circa 1981, and he was asking $495. After some conversation, I gave him my Taurus and $150 and walked away with the Sig.
This was definitely one of the finer examples I'd seen of this gun, some of the early ones I'd looked at in shops had horrible slide wear, and at $350-400 I just couldn't bring myself to buy them, but with the supply of these pistols drying up, and the LNIB condition of this one, I am comfortable with my purchase, especially since I believe hands down the Sig is the far better pistol.
Here's some pics. I hope to get some range time with it soon. I plan to put night sights on it, and I'd love to get some new grips for it. Hogue sadly doesn't make a rubber one, I don't really like the Pachmayers, and I'm not sure if I'll pony up for Nills or not. Decisions, decisions....!
