Buying a handgun

[ChronoCube]

I am considering purchasing a handgun from a dealer. Beyond the sale price and sales tax, what other fees should I expect to pay?

I haven't been through the handgun purchase process before so I don't know what it entails

Btw I am in Texas.

The fee they charge for the federal paperwork may be significant. It's something to find out before you decide which dealer to buy from. When I bought my 22/45 several years ago I was surprised at what Carter's Country charged for the paperwork. I went ahead and paid at the time but will not buy from them again unless I really see a steal on a used gun. I doubt that will happen though.
