I took a minute to look at the whole list of all 11 things... did you see the ziplines item? Really? Who has a zipline? The list seems to have come from the exclusions section of a policy - jewelry over a certain amount, firearms over a certain amount, home business, improperly secured...

They should, the extra grip length isn't that much greater than the length on my P226 and you get to use the whole box meaning if it fits in and the lid closes regardless of how you position the gun in the box its legal.

The 8 round magazines could put you at a disadvantage. You'd start with 8+1 in the gun with 2 8 round magazines which on a 18 round stage you're reloading twice when others reload once. However, there are 10 round magazines available for the P239. They stick out a bit but are legal (just...

I've seen it done a few times where guns were shared... depending on the range and where the safe areas are it can be easy or a PITA. Most SOs will be accomodating and if you shoot back to back in the order it shouldn't be a problem as long as the transfer is safe and doesn't cause undo delay...

I had a P239, it handled and shot great but went through mag springs like crazy. The P229 SAS is what I carry, only slightly bigger than the P239 and 5 more rounds in the mag.

I have ~20K rounds through a newer P226 (2009 manufacture) without a single problem or breakage. I've shot both versions of the P226 and actually prefer the feel of the milled stainless steel slide to the carbon steel folded one. There was a period of higher than normal issues after the Kimber...

I've got a NIB 1993 proof marked all West German Sig P226 that I keep in the back of the safe. It was too good a deal not to buy and I prefer the newer models with the solid stainless steel milled slide for shooting. There are some I don't shoot often but no others that are permanently...

Jax, I get where you're coming from, my wife is completely uninterested in the guns and pretty much just tolerates my interest in them and in shooting. I also have the same stash box for cash to use on something I want. We operate on DADT with my guns in this house, she doesn't ask, I don't...

My experiences... Sig Sauer - has consistently paid shipping for any warranty work and has even sent two new TruGlo front sights where the fiber optic fell out instead of having me send it in (this was my preference). FNH - on my FNP-9 I had some issues with the slide locking back, they sent...

Problem I see with the suggestions is that none of them have the same low bore axis and exact operating mechanism of the Kahr. I'd like to see a 10 -13 round version of the Kahr 9mm pistols with a 4" barrel. I'd buy one in a minute if it shot anything like my PM9.

Just got an email from Bud's apologizing for recent slow shipments and announcing a new warehouse and automation. Looks like they were aware of the complaints and have done something to address them. I would have appreciated a "hey, we're having some delays in shipping due to expansion...

I've used Buds pricing to try to get a better deal from some local shops. I think experience from purchase to shipping varies based on method of payment. Credit card payments ship within a very reasonable time... using e-Check seems to add 2 or more weeks to the process. I dislike the...

I've had mixed experience with Buds... using a credit card without a trade resulting in fairly fast shipping. Using a trade and e-Check took over 3 weeks from my shipping the trade to them. and using an e-Check alone took 3 weeks to have the funds post and to receive my item at my FFL. It...

I'm going with Browning Hi-Power or a copy of the same.

Understood, and no one has been DQ'd for not embracing finger on frame... I believe you misunderstand me here.
