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.

Not only is it 10 days in California, but you can only buy one gun every 30 days.

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 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!

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!
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.

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.

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, I'll check ebay for the grips.

You don't have to take the written test again to purchase multiple handguns if you already have a valid HSC.

HSC Program

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.

Cant wait till Friday. Gonna shoot around 300 rounds of Winchesters and probably a clip of my Federal personal defense just to see how it performs on her. I will have a range report this weekend. Also considering buying another clip since it only carries 8 rounds. What do you guys think? 3 clips of personal defense, 24 shots.
