I had been considering a Ruger SR22 for a while now. I watched a bunch of review videos on the internet, did a search here on THR, read a bunch of posts, and went to several LGSs to fondle some SR22s and compare prices. I saw them priced all the way from $349 to $419.
On Saturday, I’d finally decided to “bite the bullet” and buy one. So I went to one of my favorite LGSs. They had one for $379, but it was all black, and I wanted one in OD green and brown. So they checked with one of their wholesalers, and said they could get me one like I wanted by the middle of this week. What’s more, they said they’d sell it to me for $375 – 4 bucks less than the black one they had in stock. So I (that is my wife) wrote out a check.
However, our next stop was Sportsman’s Warehouse because my wife had some Christmas shopping to do there. While we were standing in line at the checkout counter, I was reading their sales ads. Sure enough, right there in black and white, Ruger SR22s for $329 – $46 less than I’d paid not 20 minutes ago!
Oh well. I tell myself Sportsman’s Warehouse probably didn’t have one in the right color. But the truth is, for $46 less, I would have settled for whatever color they had.
