The suspense is already killing me
« on: February 18, 2010, 02:06:29 PM »
At lunch I went to the local gun shop and ordered an XDM in 9mm.  The lady working the counter said 4 weeks.  For my sanity's sake, I hope it comes in sooner.

4 weeks? I was told that about another pistol I wanted, went on gunsamerica.com picked the one I wanted, asked my local gun shop to accept it through their FFL, paid $25.00, still came out ahead, and had it in less than 1 week.

Was this your only option? Either way congratulations. I was just wondering, if four weeks was your only resource.



Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

There was an $80 difference between my two local gun shops.  Neither one had the gun on the shelves, and even if the more expensive one did have it available, I wouldn't pay an extra $80 to cut my wait time for a second gun.  I'm a little leery of buying a gun I haven't touched or seen off the internet.  I know a lot of good deals can be had on those sites, but I'm just not comfortable paying for a gun I haven't laid hands on.

One day down, 3 weeks, 23 hours, 7 min, 16.391 seconds to go, but who's counting?
