7/02/2010 delivery from SOG: pics!
Posted: July 2nd, 2010, 6:05 pm
It's been about a year since the last time I ordered a P-64...one from J&G, then one from SOG. The J&G delivery was bounced around in a cardboard mailer, with no packing paper at all, just an invoice with the gun. The SOG order was much better packed, and came with extras, so Tuesday (3 days ago) I placed an order with my FFL03 with SOG, with no hand-pick premium, to see what kind of shape these remaining few might be in... cost was $183 delivered.
Imagine my surprise when I open the box to find the best condition p-64 of my collection! A beautifully deep blued 1968 round hammer. Virtually NO holster wear anywhere, and covered in cosmoline. The holster is black, showing some shelf wear but like new, as well as a cleaning tool, spare mag with no numbers etched, and a gun that looks mint. Neither mag has the etched numbers.
Count me as very pleased with SOG. The pics are straight from the box, no cleaning done yet. The grips look rough, but only because of the cosmoline in the grooves. It will clean up and look like brand new.
If you plan on waiting to order using your C&R, take my advice: order now! When I placed my order with SOG and they asked if I wanted hand-pick, I told them I trusted them to pick me out a great one, since I would return it if it wasn't in EXCELLENT condition as the posted in their flyer! They aren't kidding...this is not good or even really good condition... excellent is the right word!
