    Oh and with a 10 round limit make sure every pistol you buy is a .45

    Sad, but true.  It will take time but they will continue to erode our rights.

    Thanks for all the input, still trying to figure this out.  Maybe I could "sell" the guns to a local FFL for $1, have the local FFL ship to a Florida FFL that will hold them for me until I get my new license and whatnot then "buy" them from the Florida FFL when I can legally do so for $1 and transfer fees, NICS fees, etc.  I think that would be legal but I'd have to find two FFL's willing to play ball then incur transfer, shipping, and NICS fees.

     

    ...or I just bite the bullet and drive.

    Try Vamoose spray.

    I can personally attest that it works.  I have recommended it to others who have also had success using it to get the smoke smell out of their vehicles.  I recommend spraying the inside of your car heavily when you know you can avoid driving the car for a day or two.  Vamoose initially smells like a weird mixture between vinegar and Febreeze when you first spray it, but after a few days it goes away along with the smoke smell.  The smell is strong at first which is why I advise using it when you aren't going to be using the car and can let it sit.  Good luck!

    I have two guns chambered in 9 x 18 (Makarov). Haven't checked the ammo inventory for a while but no failures of any kind in, I'd estimate, 1600 rounds. Lucky? CZ 82 and an E. German Makarov. The former is beat up and unsellable but totally reliable; the latter almost perfect. 

     

    Classic firearms has some Bulgarian Maks for really good prices. 

     

    But if I were you I'd try a wheel gun. .357. You won't be sorry. You can shoot relatively cheap .38 sp +P. They fulfill every possible application IMHO. 

     

    It's probably too late though. You've undoubtedly purchased another semi-auto. 

     

    Haven't purchased anything yet.  I'm on the fence between letting the permit expire and getting a wheel gun.

    Well, you could just let it expire, throw it away, and save all that money.  Lol!

     

    This discussion highlights a wonderful unintended consequence of our permitting system.  It makes us buy more guns!

    Almost everyone puts in for more permits than they really want, since the process is such a PITA, and then we hate to let them go to waste.

     

    I was recently looking at acquiring three handguns, so I put in for four permits.  My town was great with it.  Got them back in around two weeks,

    and got an extension with no trouble.  So guess how many guns I bought.  Give you a hint:  It wasn't three.     :dancing:  

     

    You make a great point.  Look at me here thinking about spending $500+ instead of taking the $2 hit on an expired permit.  My town used to be great.  Never waited more than 6 weeks for a permit.  The last time around it took over 90 days from the date of submission and the PD was very uncommunicative during the process.  Left a sour taste in my mouth.  I can't imagine the thought of going through all that aggravation again.

    A 4" 357 mag. Best all around handgun IMO.

     

    Wheel gun for sure.

     

    You can't go wrong with a 1911 (almost any 5") or the 686

    Everyone should have both in their collection

     

     

    Seems like the audience favors a wheel gun... I'm leaning in that direction as well.  The 686 seems to be a popular choice but the MSRP's on the S&W website are a little more than I was looking to spend.  Any advice on where I can pick one up used?  I don't see any recent posts in our marketplace forum.

    Hmmmmm since you already got .45 cal why not a 1911 or a S&W 686?? With that budget it might be tight but I think you can squeeze a decent 1911 for $750.

     

    Hmmm a 1911 is a cool idea.  The Sig is my HD gun so I don't need anything "top of the line" if I were to go the 1911 route.

    I'm thinking about "pulling the trigger" on a new Sig P220 in the next few months.  I know around Christmastime many manufacturers and some LGS's run promotions/sales/rebates.  I remember seeing Beretta ads for a $50 rebate with purchase.  Does Sig have any similar rebate programs coming up?  I'm in no rush to make a purchase so if getting a discount means waiting a few weeks/months that's fine by me.
