Dark Sun? Could you explain?

A$$holes..... good prices but not worth putting up with their crap!
Now that's my opinion and won't change, but a lot of people here like them.

Personally, I do not a fan of buying new handguns from gunshows. They are a good place to see and handle a variety of styles and compare for what price a particular model is selling. I have had problems with every handgun that I purchased from one - cracked grips (promised to replace at next show - then didn't know me) to night sight out. Much higher negative incidents than when I order on line or from my friendly neighborhood dealer.

I'm a slow learner apparently, as it took six such purchases to get the message. Four went back to the dealer on Sunday (probably went right back on the table) and two had to go back to the manufacturer at my time and expense. Only one is presently in my inventory. Nevermore!

When I was a child, my Mother who was a Saint, told me I could be whatever I wanted. That was one of the few things she was wrong about Grapeshot.

I would never make a Diplomat!:lol:

Gunshows are best for parts and private sales!
