Hey guys, its finally here. I've waited 10 days for it. Stupid Cali law!!! Picked up my gun and a box of Federal HS personal defense ammo. Im so excited and anxious to get out to the range next week. Gonna unload at least 300 rounds!
Believe me...I was not patient. I was counting down the days until today! 10 days seems like 20 when you really want it.congrats on your purchase. you are more patient than myself.
Not only is it 10 days in California, but you can only buy one gun every 30 days.Thats a good looking weapon. 10 days? That makes me feel a little bit better about my situation. I live in Maryland, we have an 8 day wait. I just ordered a S&W M&P40 tonight. So sometime next week I'll get it.

One handgun delivery every 30 days to be exact and I believe Maryland has the same restriction.Not only is it 10 days in California, but you can only buy one gun every 30 days.
the Federals are for the home...I will be shooting Winchester FMJ's at the range. And not only 1 gun per 30 days, but every time you buy a gun, you have to retake the handgun safety test over. which I think is bs!Congratulations on the new arrival! Wow, those Federal rounds are an expensive way to get to know a new gun. I shoot S&B FMJ to save $$$ while being attacked by paper targets. The Federal rounds only go into the magazine at home (except for a few to test the magazine with the round).
In Washington, we had to wait nearly 15 minutes to pick up our pistol. :mrgreen:
The Handgun Safety Certificate is valid for 5 years from the issue date.And not only 1 gun per 30 days, but every time you buy a gun, you have to retake the handgun safety test over. which I think is bs!
Thanks guys! You can find those grips on ebay. Im going to the range this friday. Gonna unload a clip of the Federal's to see how it performs with her.Anybody know if you can get those grey laminated wood grips separately? I'd like to get some for my 226 but I don't see them on the sig website.
Nice looking 220 BTW!
I'd check with another guy, never heard of having to take the test again to buy more guns. My friend and my dad both just bought second handguns and neither had to retake the test.Thanks guys!

True the HGSC is valid for 5 years but on only one gun. If you plan to buy another gun...you have to take another test. the guy at the gun shop told me its valid on only 1 handgun.
You don't have to take the written test again to purchase multiple handguns if you already have a valid HSC.True the HGSC is valid for 5 years but on only one gun. If you plan to buy another gun...you have to take another test. the guy at the gun shop told me its valid on only 1 handgun.
What are the Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC) requirements?
Prior to purchasing or acquiring a handgun, unless exempted, you must have a valid Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC). You must present your HSC to the firearms dealer at the time you begin a transaction to purchase/acquire a handgun.
... and the key word is... valid.Maybe the guy was talking about my HSC cause it expires the 31st of this month. Lol Thanks guys
