- What you are looking for is insurance. Go to the local largest gun
- outlet around. See what they have IN STOCK. Buy it.
-
- Make a list of priorities: i.e. revolver over auto. .357 over .32 or
- 9mm over .380 over .32 acp. $300 over $500 ;-)
-
- See what they have IN STOCK that hits most of your hot buttons. Buy it.
- If the SP101 come in in time for Christmas, you have a nice backup or
- shooter gun. If it doesn't, cancel the order ...
