First, yesterday my girlfriend and I went to Prescott, Az to visit J&G sales as they had an ad out for Bulgarian Makarovs
for $99.95.
Person at the counter was helpful and picked out a dity but functionally sound looking pistol for us. As it turns out, this little beauty cleaned up NICE. No marks on slide, barrel looked brand new with no sign of wear. Great little gun...
Makarov ($99.95), two extra magazines ($7.50 or so each), gun rug, cleaning stuff, Pierce rubber grip, plus two boxes of ammo and tax for under $160 out the door. (still can't believe how good this one cleaned up after all the cosmoline was removed).

Today, I went to a gunshow from Phoenix to look at some Sigs for CCW. I think someone spiked my drink or the salesman put me under a vodoo spell, but I ended up buying
a Glock 27 from Glockmeister. I looked at the gun stripped all apart and recieved a lesson on how to properly use the short resetting trigger and the simplicity of operation. Oh no, I think I've caught a Glock bug. Don't get me wrong, after all is said and done, I'm still a die hard HK fan (and love 1911s) but this little powerhouse caught my heart.
Glock 27 NIB with two magazines, cleaning rod, brush, speed loader - $474
Meprolight sights, installed-$65. Man, these things are bright! I had to barely cup my hand to see them glow, the Trijicons ($34 extra) I still could not see with a fully cupped hand.
2 Scherer +1 grip extentions (make my hand fit PERFECT) -$12 for both. I know people say "why not just get the 23?" and I say because the slide is shorter and I have the option of going with the flush baseplate for deeper CCW, although I'm firmly a believer that the width, not the length of the magwell will give it away.
Some weird thing that goes in the hole near the magwell to make inserting magazines easier - $7. Not necessary, but it does make inserting the mag easier and it filled that space in the magwell.
Total for all, after tax, a hair under $600.
Do these seem like good prices? I know that they were cheaper than others that I have seen in stores and at shows.
In any event, two great small pistols - I'm stoked!
