spoon shopping
went to the gun show yesterday looking for a used sig in .45 and didn't find any that the guy didn't want 6-800 for. are they relay holding their price that well, i see them on line for less than that.
and all these Sig .22 that look like the barrel can swap out with a larger caliber, do they? can ya just buy a different barrel for it in 9mm? this doesn't seem right, ejector, firing pin size?

Gun show prices are usually quite high. You can dicker with these guys and make an offer. U have 3 choices:
1. Buy from a Gun Store..you can dicker here as well, and many Dealers are now on line as well. 2. Buy on line.. A. Gun Broker B Guns America C Guns International D Gun Runner E. From an on line dealer..like Collectors Arms in Houston (he will deal on price) 3 Buy from an Auction Many times the Brick and Mortar auctions also are running their auction concurrently on line as well A Brick an Mortar...like O Gallery in Portland B Proxibid C Art Fact.. You can negotiate price except in an auction setting..then that days Bidder Pool will determine the market. For most spoons the price does not vary by more than $50 at any auction from coast to coast...whether it is on line or not. Usually it is only on rare, antique and desirable items that bidding can get carried away. The general rule is to do your homework to find what your item generally sells for..check prices realized at auction and or asking prices on Gun Broker, Guns America etc. Then be patient and wait in the weeds for a good deal to come along. Remember there will always be another one coming along next week. Generally people will overpay for the cheap stuff and the big $$$ stuff goes at smaller auctions fairly reasonably

Sig Sauer advertises their "X-CHANGE KITS" for pistols to swap out the barrel and other components between your primary caliber and .22LR for training/practice purposes. You retain the frame and trigger mechanism between swaps. I've been contemplating a 226 in .40SW with the .22LR X-CHANGE kit for practice/fun.

These guys SIGforum.com --A discussion forum for SIG enthusiasts know all about Sigs and what you can do can't do and what bits can be swapped. And the models to not buy. Maybe even a for sale sub forum
