I stopped by Walt today also. He has a pretty nice selection with a pretty huge crowd there. Too bad it is such a long drive for me to get there but his prices are pretty fair.

What a disappointment. Drove up to Hackettstown Guns and Ammo this morning to put a deposit on the TRP. I guess there was a little miscommunication, he had the operator, railed model in stock. So, I'm back to searching for the non-railed one that I prefer.

 

PM inbound

I ordered an Springfield RO today, It's on backorder tho. Hopefully Mastadon Ammo can get one for me relatively soon. I'm gonna spend the money i saved "upgrading" it just the way i like. I knew getting my fed. refund today would be bad, especially when it came as i was walking out the door to the gun shop. haha. Even worse my pay check accompanied it...

I have often found the backorder process to be an annoying waste of time (no offence intended towards any members who use this method to acquire their desired guns). It makes sense for vendors to order backordered popular guns. When they finally arrive, they are in possession of desirable firearms that can be readily sold. As for an individual, perhaps I lack the delayed gratification gene, but I have no desire to wait a few weeks/months to maybe get what I want. I have often found that by scouring the internet, you can find a price that is comparable or better than what you would pay for the back-ordered one. Oh yeah, and you can have it in a few days. GunBroker.com is your friend.

I hate waiting.

It's much cheaper and Im waiting on permits.If it's one thing i have noticed on gunbroker, the prices are usually high on the item since its a last resort out of stock item. It's also hard finding a seller that has what you want and isnt a)already overcharging B) adding 3% for a cc card and C) shipping. I hate that...clueless response when no one can tell you when it will ship. Honestly, if it doesnt show up by the time i get my permits, then i'll buy my "carry" pistol, which should hold me over. No idea what it will be, but something light and compact. Maybe a px4.

Hey, you need to buy a PX4 in .40 caliber used............ There is a CX4 and PX4 for sale, I only want the rifle!

I'm not really into pistol cal. rifles. And I def. don't need a 5th caliber right now lol. Although a compact .40 px4 would be nice.

 

On another note. I broke down, and bought an RO off gunbroker. Paid more, but some researched was leaning on Springfield being out of stock for a while. SO i figured i would jump on one now, and bought the cheapest one on there. In another couple weeks gun broker is going to be exploiting them even more. ordered up a hefty amount of ammo while i was at it too.

I did the same thing. I broke down and ordered a TRP off of Gunbroker.

 

Edit to add:

 

The seller than did a few things to make me a little suspicious, so I cancelled that order. They were cool about letting me out of the deal. That probably means they were legit but, that was too much money for me to take the chance.

Came home today to find a plump little envelope from OBPD. Permits are here!!!

 

I'll be picking up my Stainless TRP from Bullseye tomorrow!!!

After this one, I know how you feel. Unfortunately, I still have 2 permits left...... and the initials HK keep popping into my head.

 

Any time you want to take her for a spin, let me know. I live less than 5 minutes from the indoor range. (this is turning out to be a bad thing)

So many Guns, so little money.

Huh, really, forgot about that, might have to shoot it again...

but it's not a 9mm or has a super duper magwell or a plastic trigger or crappy fully adjustable rear sights or a dump comp on the end or a ridiculous red dot on the top.

The same? They're completely different...Your's is black.

 

Maybe the different colors got Harry confused?

Picked up my permits yesterday, brought this baby home today!
