I bought my blackhawk today.... wont be able to pick it up for a week because of work and open hours at the pistol permit office...Got the never fired in the box but not new one, from my other post, at a little better price than asking

Now i need sugestions in factory ammo for north east size deer, and practice ammo.Wife may kill me as this is my third gun this year...

The following week will be a long one. I just got my 44 SBH in and waiting for it drove me crazier. Now to learn to shoot it before deer season!

What she don't know won't hurt you. Wow ,sounds like your pistol permit office works a LOT faster then Dutchess Cty where I am. My last add on took 5 weeks.

5 weeks to register a pistol ??? or get your permit or background your pistol???

What is really stupid is that is what the FICS was instituted for. Oregon used to have a "cool off" period on handguns but as soon as the FICS system went into effect it was lifted. 4 places I wouldn't live, NY, CA, IL, and DC. I feel for the guys that do have to put up with their tyrannic gun laws.

As far as a good factory ammo, I don't use it anymore but Winchester, and Hornady are two good places to start.

I should clarify that I had to wait to get mine because I ordered it on the internet from out of state. Texas! 5 weeks is unacceptable.

My Super Blackhawk Hunter, and my standard Super Blackhawk, both love Hornady 300gr xtp for factory loaded stuff. I also have good results with magtech ammo.

I promise I won't tell!

Sometimes it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission

Nytracker, it takes anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks in Dutchess Cty to register a new pistol on an existing cc permit. The pistol permit clerk basically holds all the apps until she has a pile about an inch thick then they go to the judge for his signature, she blames it on the judge. Either way with todays technology it is ridiculous..

I live by this.....

Just lay it around when she sees it. Just say that old thing I had it for a while. Works everytime got to whatch color of guns though. They know the difference between shiney silver and blue.

Hope my wifes not reading this

I buy jewelry for her at the same time, costs me more, but she is always up for a new gun, because she knows she's getting something, sometimes she even asks" Isn't it time for a new one ?" which I know means THE NEW JEWELRY CATALOG IS OUT!!, but there are never suggestions or accusatons of me wasting our money

Registering a handgun in SC is immediate with a CWP.

lmao thats what i used on the last one ....

Paul we had the same problem in Chemung but I think they were taken to task for it ... the lady retired and there was a new sherrif in town...

My wife told me years ago after the "this will be the last one,I promise"phrase never to say it again because I didn't really mean it,shes right!-she does shoot with me and when a new gun is adopted into the family she doesn't ask questions anymore-john

got a bad look from the wife the other day when a friend wanted to unload his trooper- recently inherited from his ex-cop father in law - for four hundred bucks, because he lacked that much to get a second m&p .40.......... when I told him what I thought it was worth, all he could say was "really"

wow ....just the look .....I get the look if one of my buddies mentions wanting to sell a gun ... not even mentioning money or intrest.Next question ... how much you get it for ?

it's not something i really want, and my wife broke her kneecap the first of June, so we have been living on one paycheck since then, and we purchased sme additional property this summer, but mebbe come christmas time if he still thinks he wants that forty...

Hogghunter,
.. sorry for your wife I hope she is doing better. Hope things pick up for you when she gets on her feet .

Last time I mentioned a new hand gun to hunt deer with my wife asked me ..." how many guns do you need to have ".... I thought for a second and smiled and said ...'All of them " she rolled here eyes and walked away spitting and sputtering.

I always use the shoes argument -- they can never seem to have enough pairs of shoes, well I can't seem to ever have enough guns......

Shoe argument wouldn't work on my wife as she probably has a half dozen pairs all practical. She did buy her first gun this weekend though!

I think she's taken the "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach.

Yup pratical is my wife ....not alot of new shoes or clothes at any given time ... she never throws them out ..... she has dresses from 30 years ago....

Got my sbh on tuesday ...... boss says I dont have to work this weekend .....weather permitting I will be shooting this weekend



God this has been a long week .
