I'm thinking the closest equivalent might be something like the Winchester Supreme Elite .38 Special +P 130 Grain JHP.

Does anyone else find it strange that, for "sights regulation," Lipsey's and S&W used Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel Personal Protection .38 SPL +P 135 Grain for the .38 Special +P model, when this has either been discontinued or is otherwise totally unavailable anywhere? I have a preorder in for...

FWIW, and at the risk of providing TMI, so do I.

Can you please clarify "scrutinized/questioned/challenged"? How would they know info as granular as weight and height if, as previous forumers have said, info used from previous 4473's have not been retained by the gov't and, in my case, I have no criminal record whatsoever and I dutifully...

Thanks so much, CapnMac, for the info and and the kind welcome. I really do feel a lot better about everything now.

And now I'm encouraged again---thanks very much for this info! I only changed the info on my driver's license in the first place because, once I found out my true height at the doctor's and triple-checked it at home, I felt I needed to correct the record. It was only afterwards that the thought...

I would say that it is definitely possible that some of this could be due to a back thing. I've also been very overweight for a long time, so, to an extent, that could be true; it's just that a four inch difference is, no pun intended, a stretch.

Not good. To me, a scenario in which I get a denial or any problem is a nightmare. :(

I think I was lulled into a false sense of security. I wish there was a way to correct the info with the FBI/NICS beforehand.

This is what I was afraid of. There's going to be a glaring difference in my height compared to all my previous NICS checks.

I did that, really carefully, multiple times, and I got 5'6". I agree that aging, etc., might account for an inch or so, but this was a case of me living most of my life under the mistaken notion that I was 5'10". I could have sworn that's what I was measured at during a doctor's visit when I...

If the gov't ever gets infected totally by Woke, I can imagine a time when they pause all sales while they compose a new 4473 form with all the known gender identities on it. Perfect BS delay tactic.

Thanks!

That's an enormous relief---thanks very much. I was always too busy looking at the other handguns in the case, whenever my NICS check was being phoned in, to pay attention to what was mentioned.

Thanks, drobs. That's a good idea, and it reminded me of something. As a result of my health scare, I've since lost a lot of weight, too. Weight fluctuations are totally normal and common, I'm sure. Not so with height, but it's encouraging that you don't think they even mention it on the phone...
