so... a pawn shop down the street from where i work has a Sig P220 for $499. this is considerably better than i've seen them priced at gun shows and shops [more like $700-$750]. i didn't have a light handy to check the bore, but everything else seemed to be in good condition. i'd check the bore, of course, before i buy it.
my question is...would folks here trust a semi-auto bought from a pawn shop? i tend not to trust anything from them except perhaps a pump shotgun. for instance, the 1911 right next to it had perhaps the worst bore i've ever seen. didn't even need a light to tell me that.
also...i guess i'm not sure i know how to inspect a semi-auto without firing it. the action and trigger were smooth, and there was very little obvious wear. other than that, what should i be looking for?
