    What have the wait times been ?

    Had my dealer send in my form 4 End of February '11, dealer received notice of my trust going into "problem-ed" status 01/19/12 and then, without further resolve, received the approved paperwork 01/23/12. Out of 3 cans, this was the first one to be sent in for approval and the last one to get...

    What have the wait times been ?

    Picked up two of three suppressors tonight. Checks cashed around 07/21 or 08/02 (one received today and the other I am still waiting on). The second suppressor I picked up had the stamp check on the dealer. The current wait time the NFA is giving out is upwards of 12 months!! Nothing short of...

    What have the wait times been ?

    Just got word yesterday that the workload for my processor, Sara Jones, is so full that they are just now approving the applications who's tax stamp checks were cashed back in June!! Dealer says that it is now taking significantly longer to get the go ahead on all his customers. Hope to have...

    Executive Protection Waistband Holster

    Hi CB, Thanks a lot for the suggestion! My problem is that I'm not a very guy standing 5'6" tall and plan to carry a full size 1911. By the looks of the Milt Sparks executive companion, it may be too uncomfortable to carry IWB in the conventional style. Hence my dilemma...

    Executive Protection Waistband Holster

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a holster that will not impede movement in any way, and one that I can use for all kinds of physical activity such as running, hiking, etc. I live in Washington State and since the weather is mostly cool and mild for most of the year, I do have the ability of wearing...

    Need Advice: Small Hands / Big Caliber

    How close would a hot .45 ACP +P load like a Cor-Bon come to a 10MM? Would it still stand up against large game like bears?

    Need Advice: Small Hands / Big Caliber

    Zen21Tao, thankyou VERY much for all the info, it is most useful!! MPanova, that thing is amazing!! I guess it was only a matter of time before a company made a 500 S&W Snubbie :what::uhoh: I owned a Desert Eagle .50 back in the day, and while the round itself was okay, I would never have...

    Need Advice: Small Hands / Big Caliber

    Bear Sprays I've seen those bear sprays, and while they looked like a viable solution, they are effective up to 30 feet. Since bears can cover that distance in about a second, I feel safer with a gun. I also have no idea what else I may encounter out there, so the spray may not work for other...

    Need Advice: Small Hands / Big Caliber

    Antsi, thanks for the quick reply, and I definitely see your point about a handgun not being the first choice for standing up to a bear, but I have to run with this firearm and hence, this leaves me with little choice. Went to the gun store today, and the salesman directed me to a .454...

    Need Advice: Small Hands / Big Caliber

    Hello, I am moving to Washington State and am looking for a self defense pistol while running outdoors and performing other physically challenging outdoor activities. Bear attacks have been reported around this area in the past and are an ongoing risk. Due to the chance of large animal...

    Shipping to Canada?

    Solution Just F.E.I. up to a .50 AE is acceptable, while the 50 BMG is not. I was told by "The Hock Shop & Sporting Center" located in Port Huron Michigan not to even try shipping ammo as it is too much of a hassle. These guys already have the paperwork from the gov. and it would take them...

    Shipping to Canada?

    Thank you for all of your advice. I will be shipping through my FFL only, so it is up to me if I can find an FFL that will have the necessary paperwork in order to ship to Canada. Banta, I will try out the FFL you mentioned, and maybe I can ship my package to them, and then can ship it out...

    Cost of shipping a handgun

    I did speak and even try to calmly argue that this couldn't be the case as Federal law says otherwise and federal law should override company policy, but I was also younger and less wise back then. Problem is, they saw my hunk of metal and polymer laying in front of them as hazardous material...
