Excellent deal on Sig P238 with laser

[IndianaGTI]

OK, I don't like .380's so I will pass this deal on. Looks like a great price for anyone looking for one. Every P238 I saw at the 1500 was over $500 without a factory laser.

You might do better on the two big gun auction sites online. Also, I'm not sure I would get both night sights AND a laser (although I did...)...

Yeah, in looking at gunbroker, it looks to be a pretty standard price with shipping. I haven't been looking for one and was just comparing to the 1500 prices I saw. Guess I just thought it was a smoking deal.

The nice thing about looking in person is you can do a function check, look at the overall condition, and just don't buy it if it's not 100% satisfactory. And you don't pay shipping or FFL transfer.

So the prices at the 1500 may have been okay, considering...

There are some nice deals online, but plenty of way-overpriced guns too.

You can't function check it at the 1500. You can feel it and rack the slide. The deal I posted included shipping and a laser. It was a full $100+ cheaper than anything similar at the 1500. Yes, you have to pay a $25 transfer fee but you don't have to pay $35 sales tax.

To save $110+ on a $500 gun, I will buy online. To save $25-50 online, I will still choose to spend the extra few bucks and buy at brick and mortar

I would buy at least a 9mm ..

Not fond of the .380 round.

I think you've got a different definition of function check than is typical. A function check is making sure the basic functions of a firearm work; slide operates freely, hammer is smooth, drops properly when the trigger is pulled. Nothing else.

A functions check is what you typically do after re-assembling a firearm after cleaning/care, to make certain you didn't put it together incorrectly.

My boyfriend picked up a P238 at the show for $479 ($513 after tax.) I thought that was a pretty good deal.
