So I go into the local gun store and am looking to buy a concealment holster for my new pistol. All the holsters are behind the counter. I tell the guy that I need one for a SIG P225. He hands me one for a SIG P220/P226. Tells me that the P225 uses the same holster.

Now just to clarify, there is nothing, not a sticker or a sign ANYWHERE in the store that states "All Sales Are Final". If there is, it's in a very inconspicuous place, and NOWHERE near the cash register. I double checked tonight when I was up there. The receipt states it, but there is no way for you to know this prior to making the irreversible transaction.

Well, it doesn't fit. It is too damn big. I don't know this until I get home and try it out. Now this is a solid Kydex (plastic) holster. It's not like it is stained or scratched. It's not like it is a pair of underwear. It is in brand new condition. Never used. It came in a Ziploc bag, so it's not like the packaging is harmed. This could be returned or exchanged, and wouldn't have any negative effect on the store. The manager said he would see what he could find online, since the store doesn't carry anything that will fit my pistol. I'm not interested.

Now had the guy let me apply the $68 toward the purchase of something other than a crappy holster that I don't want that they don't carry, he would have kept a customer, and probably pulled more money into his store. I was willing to put the $68 toward a Surefire flashlight which was a little over $100. He refused. Restated that he will find me something online.

So for the first time ever, I have contacted Chase Bank to dispute a charge. They can't do anything until tomorrow when the charge posts to my account. At that point I can dispute the charge. I am wondering how this whole process works. I have never done this before.

Have any of you ever done this?

Haven't done it exactly. I got a Blackhawk Serpa for a Glock 17/22 but needed it for my 19 it did its job and when my friend needed a new holster he bought one for the 19 and we traded.

Yes, a few times. The one time it didn't work was with Dobbs Honda. Just make sure you save EVERYTHING. The Dobbs Honda case was different, because there were multiple things I disputed, and they required an itemized list (that they didn't tell me they needed until after the 60 day waiting period).

Make sure you keep in contact with the bank/credit card company. Stay on their a**, and make sure they give you updates. Good luck mang.

Those would work really well. If you're looking for a slap.

I was wondering who you were. I was pretty sure when I saw the WRX listed as your car. Looked at your profile...

I've been gone far too long. I didn't know you changed your name.

Causing trouble as aways. The WRX just got winterized and is looking forward to hibernation and the potential for an STi turbo/intercooler/injectors swap.
