Nice gun, some reviews call it the ultimate carry pistol. Although its firing mechanism is different from that of a glock, it still has the familiar striker and looks very much like a glock, quality is topnotch but its drawback is that it carries less rounds than a glock 27 and is quite expensive. You won't go wrong with it though.

yup, saw that one too. Created quite a stir in the Advanced Weapons systems booth. Looks a bit like overkill but would be nice to see how it handles when you fire both at the same time I think the mount for the glock(would have been better if that was a real glock 18) is of Israeli manufacture. I want one of those bushies  any of them. See you next gun show

yes, see you next GunShow, and it may not be too distant. next sched may be on one of these "ber" months.
in the meantime, here's another curious object for you! looks like the keypads in our cellphones, huh? well, i know what the keypads are for, doc, i've read about this from our various gun journals. and in times of gadget convergence now there are PDAs and cellphones, cameras and cellphones, etc. but i wonder if some day there will be.... oh well, never mind.
have a nice day, doc!

Was this from the gun show? Looks like a SIG P228 with the nightstalker IR/laser system. I failed to see that. How much were they selling it? |

Doc,
yes... this is from the last Gunshow we went to, and yes it's a SigSauer (the original makers, not the new SigArms) P228, as determined by the rounded trigger guard. this is sold at Nashe. but i wasn't able to ask for prices, as the attending lady doesn't seem too helpful and not in mood to entertain. |

So that's why I didn't see it. I've stopped patronizing Nashe altogether ever since my HK KB'd and they didn't want to help me in replacing the cracked frame. I really hope HK would find another dealer here in the Phils. Nashe's poor service really gets my goat. I was enjoying myself too much that I didn't want to pass by their booth because I'm sure it will ruin my day. |

doc,
i couldn't blame you. i myself doesn't seem comfortable whenever at their booth. it's like they seize you up, conclude right away that this person doesn't have the money to buy their items, and snub you right there. it's like they require us to have proofs of our bank accounts and proof of past experiences with guns before they entertain you. see, as i am handling that Sig in the picture... they are right there breathing down my neck as if i can run away with the unit. one other exhibitor who have some, if not all, personnel in their booth who seem reluctant to entertain are Final Option. i say not all, because some of them were nice. and worst.... TrustTrade. gee i know the owner is also the president of AFAD, but does she know that some of her crew are too snub for the job, and prohibits photographs. as if i can use it for blackmailing purpose! (if they think the activities there at trust-trade are sensitive or illegal the store should fold up then.)
i miss the days when everyone there are genuinely hospitable and enthusiastic to make you handle their items. the good old days had me handling all sort of unusual items there simply because it were literally jammed and pushed into my hand by the enthusiastic personnel in the booth, and were all game to pose for the pictures and video!
but yes... most of them remain nice, and in the right business. the ever hospitable and accomodating Chris Aquino (and Werner, the ex TriMark) of advance weapons, Hahn manila, VLP, Reliable Arms, Pascual, etc, heck.... even Twin Pines have nice people around their booth. special mention goes to chris & werner at advance weapons, who know very well that i am not allowed to purchase an FN Minimi(M249) or an MP5-SD, but are still very accomodating, and entertains people, if only for the spirit and success of the event. |

In my case, the sales people at Nashe have been very accomodating in the past and the owner makes it a point to text me whenever there's a new unit that she would like me to see. Its their after sales service when something goes wrong that really sucks, they're lazy in acting on complaints , coupled by the fact that orders to HK GmBH really take a long time to come. I used to be a loyal customer but finally got fed up. They kept me hanging regarding the servicing of the HK and finally washed their hands when it probably seemed that it would be too much of a hassle to help me. I did give her a piece of my mind before I walked away. If you get to visit the Band of Glockers thread in Glock Talk you will find more complaints about their after sales service.
Trust Trade has been very good to me as my late father, my brothers and me have bought a lot of units from them in the past. In gun shows I usually hang out at their booth as I know most of them from past purchases.
I have very few dealings with Final Option to formulate an opinion but the girl who mans their shop in MCS seem to be courteous enough.
My favorite gun store is Twin Pines/Casa Armas as their personnel always serve you with a smile and True Weight as they have all things STI and Manny Chua is quite a jolly fellow. |

Off topic:
I know I'm quite late in doing so but I just upgraded my phone to a K700i although I'm still keeping my trusty T68i as back-up. I love this phone
