Yea, I'd jump on it. I just bought one about a month ago (3rd Gen), they are hard to find in my area right now. Couldn't find a 4th Gen. New ones are going around mid 500's if IIRC.

That's actually a good price when you think if the FFL transfer fee you'd have to pay if you order one from online. Minimum would be $15.

Went and shot the sporting clays course today with the new shotgun. Worked like crap. No way my aim is that bad.

Actually, it performed really, really good. I'm hooked. Stopped by a local store afterwards and was able to score 10 boxes of shells for $5.50/box.

Nice! I just found out there's a pistol/archery/black powder and rifle range in my area with upto 600yard lanes and clays too . I'm not even close to having all my paets for the ar and now I want a shotgun too... I thought the cigar slope was slippery. This is no slope.. more like a cliff.

First round of brass tumbling ever is done! Is it ok if the marks on the inside of the case at the very bottom where the primer sits are still there? Inside and outside case walls are clean and shiny.

Love that gun.
One thing I would like to point out that may or may not be a problem, depending on how you intend to carry.
I am a fan of the Gen 4 as like the subtle changes on my 21 from the Gen 3.
However, when I was shopping for a concealed .40 (changed my mind and ended up with a Shield 9), I was bent on getting the 27 until the salesman asked me to try to conceal it. When I did, I realized what he was trying to point out is how that Gen 4 grip irritates the crap out of your skin as those little grip bumps rub on your skin.
Within seconds, I had an annoying rash.
May or may not be a problem for you but thought I would give you a heads up.
However, regardless, awesome gun and congrats!

Good point Carlos, I forgot all about the tearing up of skin and shirts. I have a 17 RTF and although I didn't conceal that one, it rubbed holes into my work shirts.

This was my dads, he gave it to me shortly before passing away. He loved this gun. I just got it back from the gunsmith, I lost a part when I took it apart to clean it. Colt .357 Peacekeeper, going to shoot with it this weekend if the weather is fit.

You mean black ash/dirt inside the primer pocket? If you got a reloading kit, it probably came with a primer pocket cleaner. You can use that to make it a bit better. You're really just making sure there's nothing in there that would prevent the primer from seating fully - i.e. fairly significant buildup.

For what it's worth, I clean the pockets for my rifle brass, but not pistol.

Thanks for the info! The brass has only been shot once and I cleaned them with the primers still in to prevent media in the primer pockets. They all look decently clean in there.

For a brand new Gen 4?
Where would that be? That is too good to pass up.
Upwards of $500 even online.
