    Wife has trouble racking slide

    Hey, thanks for all the replies, great in many ways. I have loved guns since I was a kid, but I must say, CCW makes me think about them in a very different way. I had seen the Cornered Cat site and learned a lot for myself, and I loved Limatunes' "Limalife" Youtube videos about holsters, as...

    Wife has trouble racking slide

    Pro Gun is the place we went that they did let us handle the guns (vs. American Sportsman in East Rochester, who has a store policy to require a license or a license application receipt first.) Bob Lonsberry recommended the place to my wife. I've got some recommendations for some other local...

    Wife has trouble racking slide

    Sorry, this is NY, no renting that I've ever heard of. I don't know anyone with a revolver (that I know of, not a lot of CCW people speak up about it around these parts.) There is a good chance that my wife's brother has one, he's former LE (retired.) Very busy guy, though, but that's...

    Wife has trouble racking slide

    We're getting CCW licenses (NY) and while looking at some different semi-auto handguns, my wife was having a lot of trouble racking the slides of all the guns we held and looked at. These included a Walther PPK/S, a Walther P99, a Ruger LCP, and a Bersa Thunder 380CC. It hadn't even crossed my...

    Finding a Western NY Gun Store

    I loved Creekside, they closed some years ago and I haven't found anyone else as good - yet. And at least in NY our permits are for life, with no renewal fees. Could be worse. Strangely, no classes required to get one - that's something I wouldn't oppose, a required safety class. The shop...

    Finding a Western NY Gun Store

    Thanks for the recommendations. I am not new to New York, I grew up here, just spend several years in Utah going to school, and later as a newlywed while my wife worked a job there for a year. I love the mountains, and the small town "downtown" areas there with their pawn shops and great...

    FTF handgun transfer in New York (NOT NYC)

    What would be involved to purchase a handgun from a private party in New York state (I'm near Rochester)? Once I get my pistol permit (in the process now), I'd like to get a handgun as inexpensively as possible, and one option will be to "put the word out" that I'll buy one (to folks at church...

    Finding a Western NY Gun Store

    I'm in Penfield NY, an east side suburb of Rochester. My wife and I are applying for Pistol Permits and I've been looking online at handguns for sale, places like J&G Sales, but I'd like to find the best local store where I can see used and surplus handguns (and rifles) at good prices. I've...
