Employee: "Gun I Would Never Sell"
If you've been collecting firearms for long enough, chances are you have one that whether for sentimental reasons or otherwise, you would never sell. We asked some of our employees if they had a firearm they would never sell and why. Here are their responses:
Jared: West German Stainless Slide Sig P228
"My grandpa gave this to me as a surprise gift. It was a police trade in with a double action only trigger that I converted to DA/SA. It has the old somewhat rare police issue serrated trigger as well which is pretty cool."
