9X19

In principle it is very easy. I'm talking about the force needed to push the slide pin out on a brand new gun. You either need a punch or you have to use the base of the magazine like CZ recommends. Don't own one, and have only broken down a brand new one for someone so I don't know if it becomes easier with repeated field stripping.

Good to hear.

That really sucks Dave. Hope you get a refund. It would be a real waste of a permit for a replacement. Any chance they could give you the same serial number for the new gun? Some companies will do that under special circumstances.

Nothing worse then a brand new 75B to take down. It's painful....

Did you only buy 1 mag? Do you have another P-mag to try?

Its a keyboard that does not connect to a printer.

Same here, all of about 2 seconds.

Are you talking about the Ruger 22's? I heard they are a royal PIA as well, which is why I don't own one either. Are the Browning Buckmarks hard to take down as well?

Now that I think about it is easier then taking down the glock. With the glock (which I do find very easy to field strip) you have to pull back the slide just the right amount and depress the take down lever at the same time. Not a big deal, but I have seen newbies struggle with it. I do admit the the stupid tool that S&W wants you to use is a joke to pull out from the backstrap channel. I usually just use a bic pen for pushing down the lever on my M&P.

Every bit to me as simple as taking down a Beretta or Glock. H&K is a bit tougher having to pull out the slide release lever.

What is dumb about the field strip procedure for the core? Don't they break down like the regular M&P's. Which I find every bit as easy as the Glock to break down.

If they only sold ammo for what they sell it would just be .22LR &12ga. May be a slight exaggeration but not by much. Gun selection is awful. Have seen some strange ammo for sale at the one by me. For example .30cal M1 carbine ammo, LOL. Buyers are really in tune with the state that their store is in...not

Only problem with that is that no one is home it goes back in the truck, and goes back to the hub for delivery the next day. Increased chance that something bad may happen to it with all of the extra handling.

It may just be me, but I would want the gun to ship back to an FFL, and not my home. They could log it in as a gunsmith repair and ship out as long as they provide gunsmithing. When it comes back it safely goes back to the FFL and you pick it up like your dry cleaning. Just show them your repair stub.

They probably do. They most likely did not want to be bothered.

Seen hand written FIDS and permits before. Rare, but legal. Maybe their typewriter is broken.

That sucks Dave, sorry to hear. I hope they take care of you.

Best possible news. Thanks to everyone who called, sent faxes, and got the word out. We still need to stay on top of this though. They will not give up. It is good for them to know now that we won't either.

My guess is we may hear something on Friday. Keep calling his office. Go also to his facebook page please, and let him know how you feel about these bills.

I thought he was on vacation this week.

I wonder what they are getting for .22? I heard someone say $50 for a 50 round box with a gun rental. Don"t know if this is true though because I was not there and this was second hand info.

Please post link when you can, thanks.

If I had a $1000 budget, I would be looking at H&K for sure. The HK45 is the most confortable gun I ever had in my hands. If you pick one up in your gun store, you will probably leave with it. Just slightly over your budget. http://www.hk-usa.com/civilian_products/hk45_general.asp and check this out! http://pistol-training.com/archives/4027

I'm confused. If S2723 becomes law would are FID's be void in 30 days or in two years? If 2 yrs that gives me time to get out of this lousy state.
