This is my Sig 226 Tactical with four 20 round mags in 9mm. Nitron finish with the SigLight night sights that I picked up earlier this year.

I finally shot my new Beretta 92FS Stainless today, and I love it. Even my wife was able to put 20 rounds center mass from 15 yards. What a great gun.

Hey I resemble those remarks.

Can't coddle your guns too much, they won't respect you.

That is BS how you have to get a permit first to buy a gun. Get a Glock 20 10mm. They are extremely fun.

Here are some pics of mine. I've since added a P229, 9mm (XMas gift from my wife! ).

Lotta Sig owners here. Those are the Rolls Royces of handguns in my opinion.

I was at the range yesterday and it seems the economy has brought a good amount of them in for resale or something.

I'm trying to resist, but they are just so darn nice.....

It looks like everyone is stocking up on guns For those that don't know, the 4473 form is the form you fill out when you purchase a gun. It is used to run the background check on you.

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/010609at...age-notice.htm

January 6, 2009


Notice to All Federal Firearms Licensees
Regarding ATF Form 4473 Shortage

As a result of an unprecedented increase in demand for ATF Forms 4473 (5300.9) Part I Revised August 2008, inventory of the form at the ATF Distribution Center is running low.

As a temporary measure, ATF is allowing FFLs to photocopy the form 4473 in it’s entirety until they receive their orders from the ATF Distribution Center.

A notice will be posted at the expiration of this temporary authorized change.

The processing on the CCW is apparantly backlogged to almost 4 monts as well...

After a month with my new Kel Tec P11, I found that you need to be an amatuer gunsmith as out of the box, they aren't ready.

I had to polish and dremel the feed ramp and do a fluff and buff inside, smoothing the rail and breechface as there were several burrs and rough spots.

The accessories are on and I put the mag extender, trigger shoe, and the belt clip is the best.

With the belt clip, there is no holster needed and the gun is no more intrusive than a Blackberry and I hardley know it's there...
