Yep, I've shot it. It's a little harder to control than my dad's .380(Bursa Thunder). Guess I've got to strengthen my hands. The DA/SA trigger is a little funny, not too bad though.

$770 for a display model? Is that after everything (tax, background check, permits, etc?)

That's a little on the high side, especially considering it was a display model that was broken, but it doesn't matter if you keep it forever.

did it come with goodies like extra mags, magloader, case?

Even if it came with all the bells and whistles, you just got price gouged

depends on the goodies, p99 mags are like 50 bucks a piece, if he got a few extras may be g\good.

Why are the mags so expensive? The highest I ever see handgun mags go is ~$40, and that's for really hard to find stuff

It came with an extra mag and a case. Although Bass Pro Shops is somewhat of a tourist trap.

yeah, you were ripped of, they usually go 550-650 depending on model.

Yeah, I guess I was ripped off. The pawn shop next door wanted $600something for a used one plus extra mag. It was a green one though. Not a big fan.
