I bought a new BUG from a dealer and as an incentive he gave me about 30 rounds of ammo...not in a box, mind you, but just a little bag full.
Upon inspection I found a bunch of FMJ and some HP, but what mystifies me is some (seemingly) round nosed shells that are painted a "Robin's Egg" blue on the tips.
Guess I didn't do to badly on this deal. The advertised price for the firearm was $500....he had it listed as $390....gave me a break on the price to $360 and threw in about $20 worth of ammo!
One of the very few deals I have been able to find.
I don't know many "dealers" who will give you a bag of loose ammo as an incentive to buy. Although I am sure everybody out there including myself has a collection of miscellaneous leftovers...
Make sure it is Glaser if you think it is Glaser! You should be able to feel the seam where the nylon cap meets the jacket. I have some old subgun ammo that has the nose painted blue and looks close enough to the Glaser that a casual look you could easily mistake one for the other. This stuff is hundred fifty some grain and mondo high pressure! I wont even shoot it in my Sigs.
The gun I purchased is a Micro Desert Eagle .380. Nickle Teflon finish. While we were doing the paperwork, a lady came in and wanted to sell the dealer a .45 that her husband had left her. He bought it and she had many loose rounds in the box with it. He knew I shot .45 as a matter of choice, and so "willed" the ammo to me. I guess to make up for the delay in doing my paperwork...or just 'cause he's a nice guy.
Anyway, I'm doin' a happy dance. At 21 feet my first six were a group of 4 right at the bulls-eye ('bout a 2.5 " group) and two about three inches lower. Not bad for a 2.2" bbl.
