The S&W is on it's way! Price was right and had a chance to put my hands on one. Felt pretty good even though I couldn't shoot it.
ahoffman2, no offense, but if finding ammo comes down to taking it from the blue hats after a firefight then I'll be in trouble anyway. Once it comes down to close quarter combat with any kind of troops where I fall back upon a handgun I don't believe a single person could defend himself for long against multiple well armed troops. |

Congrats! I think you'll be happy with the SD40VE.
I'm not sure Allen's intent was to say that he'd only use guns that he could find ammo by taking it off others, but he does make a valid point. It wouldn't be prudent to carry something that uses an obscure ammo that will be hard to come by. Such was the rationale for NATO commonality where everyone carried the same calibers and cartridges. Anyway, completely off topic, so ...
Enjoy that SD40VE!!! |

David This has been a remarkable day. Sorry but I did not make it to the post office. Doctor's appointment first thing then the battery quit in my car. Spent the rest of the day at Sears - am sure you know what a treat that is! Post office tomorrow. Promise...  John |

No worries. Still waiting for my pistol to show up at my gun shop. Then I have to do the paperwork. THEN it's another 72 hours waiting period. Not to mention the shop is only open 4 days a week. I think I can wait. Still need to go buy ammo... |

Dave, I'm confused. I thought you had already purchased the gun. So, if you're waiting for it to come in, wouldn't the only thing left to be done is record the serial number on the 4473 form? So what other paperwork is required? Also, why doesn't the time you've had to wait count as the 72 hour waiting period? Don't you already have a CCW? If you do, why is there any waiting period at all?
Down here, I can walk into any SC gun store, pick out the gun I want, fill out the 4473, the store makes a photo copy of my DL and my CCW, I pay them and walk out with my purchase. I can even do the same in Georgia as long as I'm purchasing a long gun, and even that's about to change for a handgun as well. |

RT, you forget one thing. I live in Illinois!
The 72 hours is from when the form is filled out. No gun, no number. Won't count for waiting if it's all filled out but the serial number. Still have to wait 72 after that gets put in. And no, I don't have a CCW permit. Wouldn't matter, Illinois doesn't recognize them. Yet. Expecting a call any time now. Mailed my payment before New Year's so that took just a bit longer to get there. Then it has to get sent here. It's just something we have to deal with. |

Guess my dictionary is messed up, I could have sworn "...shall not be infringed." meant something else. Guess I am off subject too.

We have to wait on handguns in WI too. I have a S&W M&P .40 and like it, hope you like your S&W Dave. I read reviews on the triggers when I was deciding between a Glock, XD and M&P, bought the Smith. There are trigger "fixes", but I think alot of it is what you're used to and get used to as well. |

David Envelop arrived and all is well. I was hoping you would make sure it worked first though. Please let me know. That normally goes in the small of the back with the butt-end of the gun facing your left elbow - I know, awkward. Seems like it should be other way around but that is how it works. Suppose you could place it in the front in your belt line but be careful of the "family treasure" I never could get used to it. Thanks Again John |
