Okay Gang, I've been a little swamped at work over the last few days with losing three days to inclement weather and the power being out at my office last week, but I'm getting caught up, and it looks like by the tail end of this week, I should be able to make my way down to my favorite FFL and pick up the P30L that's waiting for me. The issue is, I'm about out of safe space at home so I'm considering letting a pistol go in trade toward the P30L to 1) slightly offset a bit of the cost, and more importantly, 2) free up some space for the new gun and mags. So the two that I'm thinking about parting ways with are both guns that are seldom carried.
One pistol I'm considering moving is my Sig Sauer P245 which I like because it's a German made pistol complete with the folded steel slide and welded on nose. The issue with this gun is I don't shoot it particularly well as I haven't spent a lot of range time with it figuring out POA and POI. The gun is dead nuts reliable from what I've seen of it though. This pistol was purchased with the intent to be something of a project gun and one that I could carry on those occasions where my typical daily carried P229 is a little too chunky for the day's attire (though I also have a Walther PPS that fills that niche too). I do really like the P245 as it's in outstanding shape and it feels very natural in my hand as do all Sigs. I just don't spend much time with it, and thus don't shoot it particularly well because of that since most of my .45 shooting time is devoted to 1911s.
The second Pistol that I'm thinking about moving along is my Gen 4 Glock 19 which I shoot ALMOST as well as my P229 since I did carry that gun prior to getting the P229. That said, since getting the P229, I've not carried the Glock once and I now rarely shoot the gun at the range. Lately, however, I have been using it as a loaner gun for the girl friend who has decided she wants to get into shooting. This gun, like the P245 has been totally reliable and I actually do know the POA/POI relationship for this particular piece. Aside from the few occasions where it gets taken out as a loaner gun, it just sits in the safe and collects dust.
So now, which gun, if either of the two, should be moved along?
