Funny that you mention midway USA....I was just on their site looking at range bags and ear protection. Never any real problems with them? Quick to ship items and good customer service? If Cabelas pushes my ammo order back again from thier 7/15 ship date I will cancel it and shop elsewhere. By then HOPEFULLY I will have my FID so I can go around and start hitting up the Dicks stores in my area. -Scott

Im doing some some research now....they have an awesome look to them. I like that they are made in a wide range of calibers. Im gunna have to shoot one. -Scott

I meant 1911s vs semi autos in general. Thanks for the starting info, that gives me somemore info to work with. I really like the looks of the one at the top of this thread. Do all 1911s have that "tail" at the top backside of the handle? -Scott

Cool! I learn something new everytime I come on this site. Does it have to be 38 special or auto or both work? -Scott

So I am still waiting on my FID and P2P but I was online doing some price checking for ammo and came across some Remington 9mm bulk deals that come with and ammo storage case. So I place the order thinking they will ask for my FID number and I will have to cancel the order. Never asked so I placed it and get an instant email saying they are back ordered and it will take 2-3 weeks. I figure no problem, I dont have my FID yet so no gun yet either. Here we are over a month and a half later and still on back order!!! Now till 7/15! Anyone else having problems with Cabela's and their ship dates getting pushed further and further back? -Scott

Please excuse my noobie question but what is the difference from a 1911 to any other semi automatic handgun? I know all the pics I have seen the 1911 have a destinct frame design and all seem to have a pretty good size barrel but what else am I missing? -Scott

You mean a certain number of permits for him to sign on his desk? So basically rather then sign a couple per day these guys will wait till the stack reaches 20 then sit down and sign them all. Doesnt matter if it takes an hour or a week, he wont sign till he has 20?? Thats is ubserd(sp?) if that is the case. Please tell me I am miss understanding your statement. -Scott

19weeks of waiting as still going strong! The PD told me its on the Chiefs desk and waiting to be signed....that was two days ago. I call twice a day now to see when the Chief gets in(thats a cushy job too btw) and the end of the day to see if mine was signed yet. No wonder why my local PD is taking 19weeks to process....it has supposively been on the Chiefs desk for two days without a signature yet. I have always heard that things start from the top and continue down the line and this is a perfect example of that. BTW bad64chevelle, where do you live? -Scott

Update.....tomorrow will make 19 weeks and all my twp. will say is that my permits are waiting for the chief to sign off on them. Been in this stage for the last two weeks, very depressing. -Scott

Where is Lou's? How much did they want for it? Did they have any Stainless Steel ? -Scott

Sorry Scott, their not in the plans. btw, which one are you getting? By that I mean stainless, OD Green, or matte black Im getting the Stainless Steel, isnt that what you have too? -Scott

Im sure. that and everything I have seen says the trigger pull is stiff and gritty at first. I am so excited. I cant wait for my permits now! BTW, did you ever find out more about that company making 15rd. magazines for the SR9? -Scott

Well, after 140 miles round trip I was finally able to shoot an SR9 and man I am happy I made the trip. The gun was flawless. Extremely accurate, well balanced, low recoil and very nice trigger pull. Even with a few three round bursts I was still able to keep a nice tight grouping. I am very impressed with this gun and today helped seal the deal, Im going to buy this Ruger as my first gun. I have to say that the guys and facilities at Ready Aim Fire in Bristol Pa. were great. The range was very clean, and the employees were very friendly and ready to help with anything. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Burlington or Mercer county area to check them out. Very easy to get to. Thats enough from me....time to go Ruger shopping! -Scott 8-)

I really appreciate all the offers that you have given me but weekends arent so great for me. Typical retail job, have to work the whole weekend. Thanks for all the offers though! -Scott

I wont get too use to the 17rd mags Ray 8-) . I will make sure and only load 10 at a time. Im heading out in a couple hours and hope to have some good news posted this evening. -Scott

Finally gunna shoot a Ruger SR9!!! Im very excited, I hope it holds up to everything I Have read and seen lately. I am making a trip over to Ready Aim Fire in Bristol, Pa tomorrow sometime. I already called to make sure they had it and found out range ammo is $24.95/box of 50. Not as bad as I thought. Even putting 100 rounds through it with rental fees and range fee I will be less the $100 and finally have an opinion of my own. I will definitely post after the trip! -Scott

Anyone have a membership for pistol and rifle and want to say what they paid? If not I understand, I can call and find out. -Scott

Congrats! 65 days wasnt too too bad...Im on 121days today and still no call. When I called yesterday to mark my 4th month the woman was very nice and said she had a brand new stack of permits that the detective had just given her.....after 15minutes on hold mine were not in that stack. -Scott :?

Still havent fired one yet. Maybe I can make a trip out to Bristol, Pa this weekend to shoot the SR9. Not like I got the call for my P2P or FID yet.... -Scott

and to get a purchaser permit you need and FID. -Scott

113 days and still waiting....am I leading the pac yet??? :? -Scott

Nothing new in Manahawkin either....same ole HP 9mm. -Scott

For members or non-members? -Scott

Thats always an option....I will have to check it out. -Scott
