I have been looking for a Para USA P18.9 for quite some time now. They are never in stock anywhere. Keith's has had them backordered for a year and 2 months. So about 3 week ago I'm doing my usual evening internet BS. I was not even looking for guns. Well apparently I made a typo in my web browsers address bar. I hit enter and up pops BudsGunShop.com with a Para P18 and a big green banner next to it that says IN STOCK!
After explaining the cosmic significance of this chance occurrence and my views on destiny. The wife gave me the go ahead. So I place the order online. I chose to send in a personal check in order to get the 3% discount they offer. But I did secure the order with my credit card. I called them before sending the check. And they did confirm the gun was in stock and being held for me.
So I send the check and wait a week. They get the check and hold the order for one more week wile the check clears. The order goes to shipping. I wait another week. It's been three week now and I figure for sure I'm going to be in 9mm bliss any day now. I call them this morning to find out when I can expect the gun to arrive at my FFL. This is what they said.
Sir...........apparently there was an error with our computer system.............we don't have the gun.........it's on backorder.
Well this is just devastating to me. I have lost all faith in humanity and internet gun sales. And have spent most of the day in the fetal position on the couch. There is however a silver lining to this dark cloud. They have offered to sell me any gun thats in stock at cost with free shipping. I rely want a double stack 1911 in 9mm. But they do happen to have a DW Pointman7 in 10mm. Maybe it's my destiny to start reloading.?
