Just try and get Taurus to pay for the shipping of the firearm back to Florida, especially if it is under a year old. I'm in the midst of a battle with them now over that issue.

Second floor at City Hall, right past the violations bureau pay window. Just go to end of hall and ring intercom button. I had an interesting go-around with them the last time I put in for three PP's; it all ended up okay, with a 3 1/2 month turn-around time. I even managed to have the COP do away with the extra references (two neighbors) requirement that was instituted after 9/11. But he's retired now, so who knows if they've brought it back? Good luck and be polite and persistent. I'd NEVER put up with waiting 10 months, btw. That's insane.

I've used Tula in .40 in both my Glock and SA XDM with no ill-effects. I'd say maybe it is slightly dirtier than the Remmy I usually use, but no worse than Blazer loads. Speaking of ordering ammo: I put an online order in with SGAmmo at 1:30pm yesterday and received a UPS pick-up confirmation email at 3:30pm. Just awesome service and pricing from those folks.

Many thanks to Ira Levin at Legend Firearms for supplying me with this beauty. I'll have to invest in an S&W ref book to make sure, but I THINK it's of 80's vintage. Just an awesome, superbly-made piece of firearms art. Can't wait to get some rounds down-range!

This show should be taken from whence it came: Aaron Sorkin. The same Sorkin who created that gushing love story to liberalism that was called "The West Wing".

Pretty soon, all out of state ammo vendors are gonna need to see your FID, Ray. They've got to play CYA with our inane firearms regulations, so... But I'm with you re: buying in Pennsylvania. I'd rather make a day out of it and drive to PA to Wal-Mart to load up on ammo, and then head over to Heritage Guild in Easton for an hour or two. If I could figure out an easy way of getting to Hot Dog Johnny's from Rte. 78 it would be a real trifecta for me.

Not wanting to be "too persistent" with these foot-dragging PD's is a sure-fire recipe for disappolntment, my friend.

Another Hudson County-ite in the house. Welcome.

Welcome! But why in the hell didn't you just go one mile more to the west when you moved from NY?

I was at the Bayonne range last night with my neighbor, a recent convert to the shooting activity, and I was amazed at the number of young kids shooting safely and accurately. There were at least three boys 13 or under, and a little girl--maybe 8--shooting AR's with adult supervision. LOVED seeing that. BTW, the Glock 20 performed like a champ. Smooth action, dead-on accurate and a freakin' muzzle flash like dragon's breath. I'm in love. 10mm ammo may be dear, but it's worth every penny for performance and power like this. Also, thanks to those on the forum that may have been interested in taking my Taurus 1911 off my hands, but after running a couple of boxes of ammo through it last night, it has worked it's way back into my good graces again.

Just curious: how many forum members have joined dvor.com to take advantage of their "deals"?

Just an awesome and pre-ordained series of events. Great writing, too. Thanks for sharing.

Six days to get a recent purchase of 10mm from them...no big whoops. PSA has been good to me and my wallet (as has SG and Ammo Alley), so I've got nothing but love for 'em.

Assuming you have your FID it's all good. Is it some kind of custom or exotic LR that isn't in stock anywhere?

Definitely worth the time and travel, and if you ask really nice--some of the Pineys on here (and I mean that affectionately) can give some great tips on eating and drinking establishments in Paul's area.

Welcome!

Glock 23 with hot Gold Dots, plus a 20-pound senior dachshund with a flatulence issue.

I'm going to try and do a trade for a long gun I think, rather than an outright sale.

Ive got the. 45...

Kind of harsh calling the XDM 's "junk". Ive had mine for about a year now and have run probably upwards of 2k rounds of varied. 40 ammo through it without a problem. Its a highly accurate shooter and a comfortable firearm to handle or even CCW. I'm not a competition shooter (yet) so I cant speak to the issues extant from that perspective. But if one is looking for a solidly -built and reliable autoloader, they could do far worse than an XDM.

I can only speak from my experience in owning a PT 1911, and I could not recommend Taurus with a clear conscience. I bought my piece in August of last year and ran only 200-300 rounds through it before I started having FTE's. From their non-existent customer service to me having to fight them on the cost of shipping an under-warranty firearm back to them at MY expense, it was horrible dealing with them. Turned out it was a broken extractor causing the problem and I'm now anxious to rid myself of this gun. On a brighter note, Ira at Legend Firearms is holding an S&W 686 6, 6" for me and I cant wait to get my hands on it. Its a no-brainer: go for the Smitty (changed from "Smutty", courtesy of my Kindle, and which I cannot believe no one broke my shoes over).

Listen to Anthony! Good luck.

Real intelligent retort there. Yup, you're definitely UNION material.

I'd be willing to bet you a week's pay that NO CHILDREN were killed in drive-by's by "lawful" gun owners; "gun incidents" is too vague a category, but I'll definitely take you up on the first point.

What happened?
