Decided finally to buy a Walther P22 for my wife. Went to Vance's where they are advertising them in 3.5" barrel, 2 mags, new in box for $239.99 & figured, what the heck.
Salesman shows me the Olive Drab two-tone model in the display case. Kinda not my style. Asked about a black one with 3.5" barrel, like the black 5" compensated ones next to it.. he says, it's been a popular gun.. but I have one left. Goes & gets the box, I start the paperwork, we go through the usual cash or credit routine, I ask about ammo types to use in it, after ten minutes or so of talking he opens the box..... and it's empty!
Since the box is serial number tagged to match the pistol inside, this is not a normal occurance. Several salesclerks immediately start searching every display case but no gun is found.
He took my info in case it turned up... but nothing yet...
It was suggested that they had been so busy with the new sales flyer that a small pocket sized gun like the P22 might "walk" out the door.... That gives you confidence!
