Found mine at Heritage Guild in Easton. They had a couple of them at the time but it's going back to before the craziness. Worth giving them a call though. Good luck on the search...

Got one just to have a revolver, Stainless 4". Seems well built, I enjoy shooting both .38 and .357 with it.

Condolences to his family, and I thank him for his service to our country in time of war. I didn't wish him dead, just to be gone from politics. Think of the disrespect he showed the voters of this state by running for office last time, knowing the very real likelihood that Christie would name his successor. And I will never forget his absolute hypocrisy in his original election against Milicent Fenwick, arguing she was too old. I would have actually preferred he was defeated in an election than to go out like he did.

This, exactly. It's times like these when the relationship with my FFL really matters. They treat me right, I treat them right. Its not about squeezing the last buck out of a deal. I've found that attitude creates a lot of good will on both sides that pays dividends in the long run. Price is only one item to consider. For me, it's the FFL saving me some ammo when it comes in or holding a gun without me paying for it until NICS comes back. For them, a happy repeat customer, no BS from me and referrals.

I submitted my last set of paperwork for 6 permits on 4/5 - got a call today that I forgot to sign the background check form - so, 5 weeks for them to even start to look at the paperwork since my town doesn't do reference checks for P2P, just the criminal check. My bad for not signing it, but why did it take so long to find that out? Town is usually pretty good...

That's how it works for me at my preferred dealer - they know me, I'm a repeat customer, no BS when I'm in to buy. I tell them I want something, they put it aside, submit the NICS check and I pay for it all when I pick it up. Building a relationship with a vendor pays dividends...

Thick stack of pork roll on a toasted/buttered salt bagel... 15 points on my cholesterol but oh so good...

I also looked for a less-expensive 1911. Wound up with the Para-Ordinance GI Expert in stainless. Some people love them, some hate them. I enjoy it, came with a great trigger pull out of the box. Maybe I got lucky with one, but it's well below your price point if you can find one.

My point was I've never been asked for a permit to buy ammo in NY before. Is this now a no-no? Heck, even in MA I don't get asked for anything - I gave up thinking I needed to be carded to prove I was over 18 a long time ago. I do quite a bit of travel throughout the northeast and have always been able to find ammo when I need it. Is N Y now off limits ammo-wise?

All, I was in upstate NY (Rochester) over the weekend visiting my son at college. Went to Walmart for a few college supplies and they had some ammo in stock - .40s&w for reasonable price. 3 box limit so I took them. At checkout I was asked for my "permit" to buy the ammo. Is this something new with Cuomo's SAFE act? In the end I showed my NJ FPID and the clerk took it after giving me a weird look and I got the ammo, but is this an issue now? Should I not even try in the future? Thanks Dean

Great deal, great guy to deal with. Thanks

I'm another in the long line that bought the 92FS as my first 9mm - the INOX version. Saw it, held it, took it home that night (When NICS really was instant).

I agree with the disagreement, but for a different reason - there is absolutely no accountability in government. We are required to use the "service" they provide but there is nothing that forces the quality to be at any level. Over time the employees realize they get the same pay regardless of effort. Many wind up working just hard enough to not draw any attention to themselves. We get the occasional "scandal" whenever a high-use service becomes so bad that some sunlight gets shown on it (think MVC and car inspections), but other than that they just don't care.

I hope she's past breeding age - hate to think the gene pool would get any shallower.

Easy to deal with. Thanks.

and it's gone...

And to the OP - Sincere thanks, no negative comment intended - just general frustration at the current state of the market.

Thanks for posting. .40 is still available with a limit of 5. Shipping was $12.95. Not a great deal but at least it's available.

Didn't realize KY made gun lube...

My new "blank canvass". I hope to use this one to learn a bit more of the inner workings and do some customization. Para GI Expert. Not the best photo, but damn if this didn't have a nice trigger pull right out of the box. I wasn't expecting it.

And this is how I got my P229. Bought the Classic in .22lr, bought the x-Change kit in .40S&W and the .357 Sig barrel. 3 calibers, one frame (and trigger) - 1 permit, and all for the price of a 229 in .40. The .22 slide and barrel are in the x-change kit box unfired. The .40 is too much fun.

Anywhere from 200 - 400 rounds depending on what comes to the range with me. Lately I've been using .40s&w since it's easier to find. I'll go through 200 rounds, then 100 of .45, then another 50 - 100 of 9mm. My daughter will go through 200 22lr at the same time. Never realized just how expensive this would be...

Am I missing something? Thought it was March, not April 1st...

Got the call today, so it took 6 days. I bought in October 2012 - took 10 minutes. In November, took 2 days. December was 3 days. January was 4 days, February/March was 6 days. I see a trend here...

Mine was faxed Tuesday 2/26. Wasn't back as of 5:00 on Monday, 3/4...
