« on: May 11, 2009, 02:55:23 AM »

after a 6 month wait after getting my Hand Gun Licence  and then another 28days waiting for the PTA 

I was able to pick it up on Saturday
 

got my self a Taurus PT99   it also came with a PT92 Slide so I also have fixed sights ( that is black) also have a 2nd mag for it 


the cool thing is it is the one I did most of my training with so I have used it a bit all ready



so it has been added to the little family now

And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Y'all desperately need an NRA (warts and all) or something like it. I don't know if you have the time or inclination, but I'm betting a letter to the boys in DC would get a response. Maybe organize meetings at some local gun/hunting clubs and I'm sure they'd be fighting each other to see which organizer got he free trip to OZ to helpset up an organization.
FQ13 nice pistol BTW, (next year, go Glock ;D)

Good looking 'family' Phil.

Congrats on the handgun.  Must have been a b!tch jumping through all of the hoops.

We expect (read that 'demand') range reports.  ;)

Congrats, Phil.
After all the red tape BS you had to go through just to get the thing, I bet it'll be almost as much fun just to 'fondle' as it will be to shoot it.................almost.

Enjoy.
