New Gun = New Job?

I want everybody to know that I did get a new gun a couple of weeks ago but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I will be joining Navy SEAL Team 6 this summer. I'm guessing this rumor got started because the new gun I have is a Sig Sauer Navy Special P226 MK25. Yes, this is the exact same 9mm handgun that SIG sends to the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC). It comes complete with a phosphate finish applied to all internal components, “providing corrosion resistance in even the harshest of saltwater environments.” As opposed to the mildest of saltwater environments like maybe a salt water fish tank.
















It even comes with an engraved gold anchor right on the side of the gun. Apparently, “the pistol’s slide hints at its military origin, while the UID code on the right side serves as a genuine badge of authenticity.” Better yet, “The true mil-spec 1913 rail is machined into the hard coat anodized alloy frame, providing a solid mounting point for lights, lasers and accessories.” The MK25 comes complete with two-piece polymer grips, SIGLITE night sights, three mags, and a card certifying that yup, it’s a collector’s piece alright. This firearm came from Stoddard's Range and Guns in Douglasville and I got it by trading three guns for it. That's right three guns. It was a pretty good deal when you consider that “the only other way to obtain an authentic MK25 pistol would require a Naval enlistment and training with elite forces.” That’s IF you got in AND you don’t get to keep the gun even if you DID. Which you probably wouldn’t so  . . .

Thanks for listening,

  1. I think The Math Teacher is promoting a new "cover up." True, the Sig Sauer MK25 is the same gun Sig sends to the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC). True, other than purchasing this fine firearm from a reputable licensed firearms dealer, “the only other way to obtain an authentic MK25 pistol would require a Naval enlistment and training with elite forces.” But I think the truth is stretched to it's limits when The Math Teacher asks us to believe "there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that [he] will be joining Navy SEAL Team 6 this summer." I know The Math Teacher AND I have had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with members of the Navy Seals - come on Math Teacher, if anyone is Seal material it is you and the fact that you now carry this unique gun only proves my point.
