It's always the gun I WANT that is out of stock or not available.
I'm on a waiting list for a Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield EZ w/ thumb safety at my LGS. They have the more compact non-EZ Shields in stock but I don't like them and apparently other customers don't like them also. They have this stupid hokey "safety" trigger that is two-piece and gets bad reviews. It may balk at firing the gun if pressed too far up toward the top. A simple old-fashioned one-piece trigger is the way to fly. I think the EZ pistol will fit my large hand better and kick less with that awesome 9mm Luger ammunition being a hefty 26-something ounces loaded. I will need a larger fanny pack to pack it, that's all. I don't want a mule-kicking mouse gun. There's not one new .38 Special revolver available right now for concealed carry that tickles my fancy. Those little Smith airweight things look ugly to me. The only one that would work for me is the new Colt Cobra .38 Spc. +P but that's out of stock. I could get a bigger K-frame new Smith in .357 but that's too clunky for fanny-pack carry. Concealed-carry-size pistols are the hot market item in the present day. Nobody wants to pack a hog leg into Walmart with a covid mask on.
Another elusive as the Holy Grail for me gun is a new Benelli Super Nova Model 20100 shotgun w/ 28" barrel, plain black and 12 ga. I wouldn't be caught dead buying a camo finish gun. There are some brand-spanking-new plain old Novas for sale but the trouble is they are just plain old Nova models lacking the adjustable-for-comb-height-stock-with-shims and the softer shooting compressible ComforTech stock.
Of course Colt AR-15s are presently out of production for the civilian market but an AR is low on my gun-acquiring priority anyway.
