I thought I read they were closed on Good Friday but I migh have gottn it wrong. If that's the case, no problem as I should be able to pick up the gun on Friday

Ouch!

We'll see how it goes. Red Dot opens early on Saturday, I'll head over after breakfast fill out the paperwork and take a seat. I'm hoping to get my 4473 in as early as possible. I also wish NICS was working on Friday, techically that's my 30th day since the last purchase.

Great, thanks!

Hi All, I just want to confirm the hours for NICS this Saturday, I think they open up at 10 but because it's between Good Friday and Easter is there any change? Also they are closed on Good Friday, correct? I'd really like to pick up my new revolver this weekend and head over to RTSP and give it a try. Thanks, Sam

I'm reading "In the garden of beasts" by Erik Larson

So I'm good to go, thanks

Hi all, I know this was asked recently but I can't seem to find the thread. I have 3 p2p's, say I used the first one on March 4, what is the soonest possible date I can purchase my second handgun? I'm thinking it would be April 3 but can someone confirm? Thanks, Sam

I forgot to update this one. I got my permits on 2/25, so 7 weeks, not bad at all

Thanks Tony, I already have one, great gun and I was thinking about another SA but I think one is enough........... for now

Actually I never said the gp100 is the best. All I said was the gp100's I've tried felt much better then the 627. And I've heard the argument about the difference in the frames and how S&W can make one better, then you'll find another thread that tears apart S&W for off shoring parts to Mexico. I understand you shot more then me, and I apperciate the feedback, I also understand resale value as one of my other hobbies is guitars and resale value on them swing greatly depending on the name on the headstock, not always the quality or features. And as I said, I'll try a few more S&W's, maybe I'll find one I like

Well the Taurus to me is a fun gun and already purchased, it's not expensive and I like shooting 22LR's I admit there's better guns out there but for what I want it for it works great. I never mentioned a Charter, my second gun will be a Chiappa Rhino and unless you've tried one you don't know what you're missing. It's a great gun, smooth action, feels perfect in my hands, I love the low mussle kick it has, nice and light weight, etc. The thread was started to helop get ideas for the third gun as my orignial intent was to buy a gun that once I tried it I didn't care for it. I'm also limiting my budget because I shoot as a hobby for fun. If I had to I can afford more but would prefer not to spend it if I don't have to. I do apperciate everyone's opinions on the subject and will try out a few more pieces before I make any desicions.

Well again, I tried both the GP100 and 627 and to me the ruger had smoother action and a better feel to it. Maybe the gp100's (I've tried 3 so far) were just steller examples, maybe the 627 I tried was a dud, who knows. All I can say is my current Ruger is a great gun, every othe ruger I've tried is a great gun. The limited amount of S&W's I've tried (again, limited) were nothing to write home about. Yes they cost more but their price didn't match what I was holding. Again, maybe I handled a couple bad apples.

So again here's where I'm confused, let's take one of them as an example, what's not good about a Ruger GP100?

Will do, thanks!

Thanks Pete, I heard you were getting a new shipment of revolvers in soon, I need to take a look the next time I'm at the range.

NICE!!!! That reminds me I recorded Gotham last night, need to watch it when I get home

I'm the opposite, I got a thing for long barrels.

Long or short barrel? I see plenty of the shorter barrel models for not a lot of mon ey but finding the 6" and longer seems to raise the prices drastically.

Yes, this might be something that floats my boat but again the prices I've seen are awfully high (for me that is)

PM replied to, thanks

It does but I prefer the 6" barrel, just a personal preference.

And what "POS" would that be, the Taurus which I've shot a few times in the past and really enjoyed, the Rhino which feels great in my hand and has some great reviews or the gp100?

Ok, let me rephrase, when I compared a ruger to a S&W, I felt that the ruger felt more solid, better finish and in general a nicer looking gun. Sure, accuracry and build quality are number 1, however a well made gun should encompass all of this. I feel for the money, the build quailty and feel of the ruger is better then the S&W at the same price point.

Ok, so I'll take another look at S&W. So far the revolvers I can afford, I just don't like. The ones I do like however from S&W are well above my price range. For instance the 929 is appealing but the price is too high for me. The 686 in a 6" barrel could work as well, but again the price is up there. I will however look at a few more S&W's, maybe there's one that feels my requirements and feels good in my hands. Thanks, Sam
