Hi to All...

 

New member here, I am getting old and decided to finally learn how to handle guns...do some training and have some all around fun. Submitted my paperwork at the beginning of June and called the PD six weeks later to inquire about the permit and ID. Was told 4 weeks ago that the paperwork was in and everything looked great and would have my permit/FID by the next week. The week goes by and nothing...call the following Monday and again was told that the paperwork would be ready by the end of the week. The week comes and goes and still no call. So i call yesterday morning and no answer. So i leave a message stating that I was calling to see if the paperwork was completed. No return phone call yesterday afternoon and nothing as of yet today. I realize i am new to this whole firearms thing but 4 weeks to type up some paperwork and get the chief to sign it? Is this common?

 

Besides that...I hope to meet some new friends and do a little shooting...I hope.

 

Bob

Well, at least now i know...and I did stop by the PD on the way home. The Detective leaves at 3pm. :facepalm: Just stopped into Cheyenne Mountain and got to hold my new gun...XDM 9 compact...sure felt nice in my hand! Can't wait to do some shooting and then start my training. Think i am going to join Range 14 out at Dix. Looks like a really nice setup.

 

Thank for the warm welcomes

Did that yesterday but the Detective and went home for the day...but did find out that he works until 7pm next week, so I will stop by there next week to talk to him and find out where the hold up is in processing my paperwork.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
