The core 15 ate steel ammo like a champ...shot the new FNS-40, love the way this gun shoots, it does seem the sights are off just a tad, I had my friend confirm, we were both groping about 3-4 inches to the right,other than that, fantastic piece. The guy who I have bought a few guns off of at the LGS actually is carrying an FNS now, and he is a HUGE glock head, I mean die hard...

For me, it's been not only the best polymer pistol I've owned, it's been the best all around pistol of any kind.

I was looking at a S&W M&P .40 pistol and it indicated that it was made my Walther (etched on the slide)...is that true?

No. The M&P 22 (.22 cal pistol) is made by Walther (actually Umarex), but the regular M&P series pistols are made in the US by Smith and Wesson. The other possibility is that you were looking at an M&P 40 air pistol, which is also labeled Umarex (although actually made in Taiwan). Walther pistols, until recently, were imported by Smith & Wesson. Although made in Germany by Walther (Ulm), the slides also had Smith&Wesson engraving. As of January 1st, that importing arrangement was cancelled and Walthers are now imported by Walther Arms (USA subsidiary) and there's no longer any S&W stamp on the slide.

It's only been almost 14 months, but my AR15 finally came in. It's an LWRC M6IC. It has a fully ambi control lower and charging handle with other cool features.

Just a little bit better picture of the 226

So I called the place that has my pistol, waiting on the background check.

My paperwork was pushed up on the 19th or 20th of March. They are just now getting back checks from the 26th of Feb through the 1st of March.

F-ck you, Maryland, and your feet-dragging worthlessness. 8 weeks for a god damn background check.

Eight weeks?!?!? Took me little more than eight minutes (actually 20-30 minutes if you count the time spent filling out the form) when I bought a pistol in March. Why does it take so long in MD?

Must be nice. It's instant in CA, but we still have the 10-day wait. And even then, the CA DOJ can decide to mess with you for no reason and make you wait indefinitely.

Because MD is for the children!

Also, they are dumb.

It took me almost a yr to get my AK built.

Romanian ak47 kit with original barrel, matching serial numbers except the bayonet, original furniture finished in russian red. The HG is not orignal, i still have the original HG but didn't like the forward grip.

G2 trigger
Hogue grip
And a damn bullet button cause i'm in Kali.

How do you guys feel about DSarms inc. for AR15s?

MightyBobo 05-13-2013 08:19 PM

Update on my pistol...looks like 9 weeks. *sigh*

Is it your first pistol? If so, that would really suck even more since the gun is at the store waiting for you, but don't feel bad as I had to wait over a year for my rifle since the production kept getting pushed back and I finally got it a few weeks ago.

Here's a photo of how my new rifle looks now that I rattlecanned it over the weekend. You can compare to how it looked from the factory on the previous page.

It's my first, yes. But, I have an AR-15 and an 870 Express, so it's not my "only" weapon. Honestly, time has been flying and I have more than enough things to distract me, but it sucks when $600 of my money is just sitting there and I cant get it.

I'm just happy I got it when I did.

After registering the firearm with the Federal Government by filling out the 4473, of course.

Texas is one state where a NICS check isn't required of people with a CHL. Despite Texas' otherwise mildly restrictive handgun laws, skipping NICS is "common sense" IMHO if you've already undergone a background check for the CHL.

Chuck33079 05-14-2013 09:46 AM

Yeah, there's paperwork. Takes 5 minutes. You're exactly right on the chl replacing the need for a NICS check. You've already proven you have a clean record, why waste the effort to repeat the process.

Never bought a gun from them, but I do have a charge on my credit card from ammo that I bought in December...that they still haven't shipped.

Yea, I have read about there shipping taking forever. I was going to go to the factory and buy an AR15 in person. Was told by a sales rep that I can walk in and out in 15 minutes with a an AR15 if I wanted too. It was something like 900 dollars for a basic AR15.

Hi! This is my first post on this thread. Anyone who has a kimber 1911? If you were to choose between custom eclipse target vs custom cdp II, what would it be? Thanks in advance:)
