Don't get me wrong I am not really opposed to sending the FID, but would choose not to - all things being equal. And I admit I did not see it on the site when I ordered - a prompt would be nice. But to take over 2 weeks to respond and then offer to cancel for a 10% charge. Nope, not me. There are other deals to be had.

They suck. Ordered a few boxes of ammo on 7/13. Two weeks go by. On 8/1 I got an email saying they need a copy of my FID because I am in NJ. < for this alone I will not likely deal with them again>. They said I could cancel my order for a 10% fee, 10 % to NOT take an order! Balls! Given all the other vendors who have good customer service - ship the same or next day they receive an order, I will not be doing business with PSA again.

It took about six weeks to get my FID in Long Hill twp. The detective that I dealt with was friendly. I had no problems.

What really pisses me off is that this f*ck-up Zimmereman has potentially set back much of the small progress made in our rights to self defense. He has handed the liberal press a big story and they will run with it. That is what they do. And always will. If we can believe any of the stories in the news, Zimmerman went after the guy. It is hard to claim "stand your ground" when you pursue the guy. And its not the role of a neighborhood watch at any rate. This wannabe has screwed us all and IMO the NRA should make it clear that they stand for RESPONSIBLE gun ownership and not this crap.

That's where I quit it it too. What an idiot.

Averaging 200+ rounds/month

glennp, That would be me. Thanks for that info!

I sent in my app about three weeks ago and have not heard back yet so I was wondering how long it might be. Thanks for the info.

Anyone know how long the wait list is for membership at SCFGPA?

Welcome New Guy. Tons of info here. I have been digging around in this forum for a few months and have not hit bottom yet!

Yeah 38/357: SW 686

Wonder if any one is using a red dot sight on a Ruger 22 45. Thinking about it and wanted to get your opinions.

I would be interested.

Well you have brought out the heavy ammo with Hemmingway and cats and enlightenment. So I guess I have lost this one. You guys know I was kidding, well mostly anyway.

I was discussing with my nephew, who by the way is my firearms guru, my intended purchase of a S&W 686. We were looking at the S&W website and the 686 Plus came into view and I said maybe I should get the seven shot model. Hell, it’s only a little more in cost. I mean why not get the most I can? Why not? I mean more is more, right? Definitely. Well it did not take long (90 seconds maybe) before I started vacillating. I felt like something was just not right. Maybe having seven chambers in the same place that six should be is too much. Maybe the metal would be weaker. Nah, S&W would not do that. OK, but I probably can’t get a speed loader for it. Soon I was pretty much determined to talk myself out of the seven shot model. It had to be six. Six feels right. And I mean, if you can’t get it done in six, then number seven is probably not going to help all that much. But there was more to it. Six has meaning beyond a simple count. Six-shooter. It is practically synonymous with revolver. It’s a special and unique piece of our national heritage, a legacy handed down to keep and pass to the next generation. Sheriffs and gunfighters, ranchers and rustlers, Wyatt Earp, John Wayne and now…me. You can’t fight that. And now that seventh shot seems strange, like a dangling appendage. I guess if I played piano I might figure that I would find use for an extra finger. But really, what are you going to do with it? Do they write music for extra fingers? The seventh chamber is an extra finger. Maybe less is more after all. So let me share with you this simple mantra which now gives me great comfort: Six shots. Five fingers. One nation under God. Amen. Say it with me now.
