I just don't see why most folks would buy a new gun by mail just to save a few dollars or so. I want to hold it before I buy it and see how it feels. I want to try the trigger and check for smooth cycling, rough edges, tool marks, chipped grips, misaligned sights, mags that won't drop and all of the other things we hear about regularly. It is enough of a crap shoot without buying the proverbial pig in a poke. Am I the only one? John
