I really like the Sig P220 Two Tone (220R45TSS), but unfortunately Sig has discontinued it. None of the local shops in my area have any, and the only ones I can find that are still for sale are online gun stores that have them in back stock. I want to order online but shipping to my local gun store, they charge 10%. I found the Sig P220 Two Tone online for $807 with free shipping, and I'd hate to have to pay $80 just to have it shipped to my local gun store.
My local gun store also has the standard P220 (all black) for $799, and so I think it's a steal being able to find the two tone for only 8 bucks more, but that is before I factor in the cost of having it shipped to them who will then rape me 10% since I bought it online. I was trying to think of a way around this, and thought of maybe finding someone who has an FFL in my area that would transfer the firearm for a much smaller fee, but it's hard to find someone you can trust and who is also that nice to do such a thing. Have you guys ever done something like this with people you've met just through the forums? Is this safe to do or do you think they would just rip me off and keep the gun for themselves? Any advice on what I should do or could do in my situation?
