I didn't really get any stellar deal. I would say that the hkpro group buy on the VP9 was one of the better deals. I paid $623 shipped for my LE model. It's a great gun.
I picked up a M&P .40. Not a smoking deal but a fair price. About the only great deal I got was finding two used Sig 220 mags in a pawn shop for 20 bucks each. At the time you couldn't find 8 rounders at all. Now they seem
To be available again but at normal prices of about $40 or higher per mag.

I traded a brand new black Sccy CPX2 for this,
A friend who was cutting back on his collection as he was getting older...like me. He was referred to me by another close friend. He brought four such firearms is pristine condition. I had interest in three that I didn't have. I had a budget I was willing to spend. When I made him an offer, on a high-power 45-70 rifle, a .44 Special revolver and a Spanish 9mm semi-auto, he said, "$1 each if you make a donation to a non-profit of your choice." I was taken back with in what he had said, but knew his intent and interest in helping others as a retired physician. I made a hefty donation to my favorite, local non-profit agency. This doesn't happen often!
After five or so years of looking I finally found a 98% condition 3 1/2" M 27-2. I paid a lot for it, but before I even started the transfer paper work I was offered 25% more than I paid for it. I was tempted to sell it, but I've still got it.
Now the problem is, it's to heave to carry much and almost to nice to shoot, so it sits in the locker, most days. Oh-well.

I got what I consider to be four decent deals:
#1 is this NIB 19-2 with matching box and paperwork. The SAT and cleaning tools were still in the unopened packaging. $650 OTD through a LGS.
#2 was this 27-2 LNIB with the presentation case, but missing the papers. Bought from the same shop as the M19, I walked it out the door for $725.
#3 was a total impulse buy. When I was buying the M27, I spotted this 15-3 in mint condition. I just had to bring it home too at $400 OTD.
#4 is by far and away the rarest gun I own. I bought this off of a Armslist add that I responded to. It is a Model 1899 Target Model .38 Handejector. Probably one of much less than a hundred (maybe as few as twenty five), surviving first model targets. I got it with a box of ammo for $250 in a face to face deal. Serial number places it as having been manufactured around 1901
