Happy BAG day.

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Buy A Gun Day is coming.

Unfortunately, April 15th falls on a Sunday this year, and most of the interesting gun stores around here are closed. (Cabela’s being a notable exception.)

In addition, WCD’s official supplier of fine weapons, Tex-Guns, is taking a vacation this week and won’t reopen until the 17th. Luckily, there are at least two other interesting gun shops I can hit.

The thing is, though, I’m not really wild about BAG Day this year. There are various things going on, but a big factor is that I’m just not seeing that much interesting stuff turn up used. The guys at Tex-Guns have noticed that too; they’re saying that people are holding on to what they’ve got, not making trades. (They have had a couple of interesting Smiths: some K-38 series guns in the 4″ and 6″ lengths, and a 6″ model 19. But all of those are surplus to my requirements at the moment.)

So I’ll probably go out, keep my eyes open, and possibly even run down to Bastrop. But don’t hold your breath waiting for a BAG purchase post, unless I stumble into something neat (like a 4″ K-22).
