So after unloading my AK and my 870 I'm in the market for a new gun to follow me around in all the strange places my truck takes me. I went to just about every gunshop in the South Houston area (8 or 9) including carter's country and academy on the off chance they had something that caught my eye. No bueno, el-cheapo and plastic fantastics. I almost bit the bullet on an HK P7 til I realized the mags cost 60$ a pop.
So I was bummed. I was gunna have to go abroad to find something that fit my needs, or so I thought.. Then I remembered a little gem I went to one day from reference from an old supervisor I had. I stopped by there, and my eyes focused immediately. Didn't see anything else on the rack but this poor lonely little Hi-standard Crusader.
I don't know why I like it, or anything like that, but tomorrow it will be mine, unless of course ya'll can talk me out of it between now and then.
So, what say you on the topic of Crusaders. I've never seen one before, and with tax and all of that it's 595$ OTD. Good deal?
ETA - 34 views and no word.. Sounds like something not everybody and his uncle owns. From what I've read though it's a lot like the RIA compacts except with novak sights and a different name. 600$ seems a bit high compared to the online deals ranging from 450-550$ but I figure with shipping+FFL I'd be looking at about 6 anyway.
