      New Kimber stuff

      Even though more than 1 person has told me that Kimber is better at marketing than manufacturing, I still want one. I paid up front in full for a Warrior several years ago, waited a year, and never got it. Word was that Kimber rarely went through the motions (spent shell casing) that MD...

      Fingerprints required for pre Oct 1 handgun purchases?

      460 or 500, you pick. I got them both but I can't tell them apart. :D

      Fingerprints required for pre Oct 1 handgun purchases?

      Thanks, bros....

      Fingerprints required for pre Oct 1 handgun purchases?

      OK on the HQL, but just to confirm, I do not need to submit to fingerprinting for any prior handgun purchases?

      Fingerprints required for pre Oct 1 handgun purchases?

      Forgive me as I'm sure this must have been covered somewhere but my searches brought back so many hits I couldn't locate what I needed. Today a friend brought up the new Oct. 1 laws. I knew of the Handgun Safety Course requirement but it didn't concern me as I have probably bought all of the...

      500 S&W mystery solved?

      Point taken...I need to realize that I'm not dealing with a .25 auto here....

      500 S&W mystery solved?

      I will try some different ammo. Hornady is picking up the 3 bad boxes. I was told earlier this year that maybe S&W should look at it considering the fact that the gun had only about 40 rounds fired through it. I should have done more in the spring to figure out what was going on. The gun...

      500 S&W mystery solved?

      I posted a thread awhile back about how I couldn't remove some shell casings with the ejector. I fired 15 rounds that day and I always had to tap out one of the five with a dowel rod. I blamed the gun as it was always the same cylinder. But.... I just saw that Hornady was recalling some of...

      XdM 3.8 9mm Compact

      I have the 9mm version and have had zero malfunctions (approx 300 rds). I like the adjustable grip capability and the flexibility of 2 magazine sizes. My first and (so far) only poly gun.

      Shotgun waiting period?

      Point taken (but it's so easy to MD bash!). I know the FFL wrote down a transaction number on the application but I did not get the number from him. He said they could call back with an ok in 1 hour or 4 days. I was somewhat in shock and walked out of the store saying "you've got my number...

      Shotgun waiting period?

      That's it! I should have purchased the Mossburg 500 Mariner, which comes with the plug installed. Then there wouldn't have been a delay :rolleyes: The "assault" Remington 870 holds 6+1 right off the shelf. :)

      Shotgun waiting period?

      Yes, that is how the FFL described it...a 4 day delay. I guess it's just another frustrating incident that happens in this state when purchasing firearms. It made me look like a fool as I thought I was walking out with it and had lined up some friends to tackle some zombie targets, then had...

      Shotgun waiting period?

      This is my first post in the shotgun forum. I normally hang out in the handgun section. I had a "strange" occurance today as I attempted to purchase a new Remington 870 Marine Magnum shotgun. When my FFL called the FBI NICS they told him that there would be a four day wait to purchase. I'm...

      CCW and Fort Meade/NSA

      Ditto for me....even though the guard was professional about it...he wasn't happy and I wasn't happy.....IMHO they should have an idiot turn around option before you reach the gate. A pre-dawn morning I will never forget.

      Let's talk self-defense ammo

      I've seen a You-Tube posting in which the person claimed 2 duds out of a box of 20 with Hornady CD so he stated that he refuses to use them for SD. I'm hoping that was a fluke because I use them as my SD load.
