Depends on what you order and from whom. Interstate Arms in Billerica
MA is the authorized LE dealer in the NE. If they have it in stock they will
FFL it to you in a few days.

Being a new CT permit guy my question now is if you take the train to NYC does our CT permit allow us to carry in the city or can we get busted for that? It's gonna be awhile before I can do this anyways since I'm in Afghanistan but just getting info. Be serious. Carry in NYC without a NYC permit a...

Buy all three. You won't regret it. (I dunno... I like the Woodsman for some reason. Just a neat little pencil barreled .22) I agree, but my bank account says otherwise. Plus I'm trying to save some cash for a nice EDC gun. Don't go cheap on a target gun. The S&W 41 is the finest production run...

Is this range members only? Or can guests/visitors shoot there for a day? If so whats the fee. Would like to do some shooting at that distance. As far as I know it's members only. Been waiting five months for my membership but I suspect it's at least a year until your number comes up. Very nice out...

Do you do it with the gun in the holster? or do you unscrew it and lay it over the gun to shape?

As much as I talk about loving this or that gun......it is really semantics and nothing more. Unlike most people(especially some men I know....) I don't form attachments to inanimate objects. Whatever "it" may be, firearm, vehicle, PC, knife whatever thing....it is only a thing . It fills...

Does the owner's son do what you do as your full time job? Maybe the owner's son should leave it to the professionals. For example, you'd let a Republican show you how to reload a magazine. You'd let a Democrat show you how to... well, I'm not sure what a Democrat could show you now that I think ab...

Some solvents are readily absorbed by skin. It pays to read MSDS sheets on chemicals you use often. http://www.hoppes.com/au_msds.html http://www.hoppes.com/msds/Hoppes9/MSDS_Tri-Pac_No_%209_Solvent-Liquid_Revision_1-3.pdf Lastly avoid latex gloves. Many people have alergies to latex. Nitrile is a ...

I really like the old Connecticut-made High Standard pistols. Right now for bullseye I'm shooting a 7" Smith and Wesson Model 41, which is also really nice and certainly capable of shooting far better than I am shooting it. Yup, That's my tack driver. Love it. My first gun and still my favorit...

I doubt any one set up will cover all scenarios. The plugs plus muffs comes pretty close. The maximum theoretical attenuation possible from any hearing protection is 40 to 45 dB. After that bone conduction of sound through the skull will overpower any hearing protection. Active muffs can't do any b...

I currently use a passive type headset for hearing protection while shooting and would like to upgrade my headset type to an active type so I can better hear range commands. Not looking to a real expensive unit, <$100 would be a good range for my budget Any product reports/recommendations for a goo...

I used to do limited inside shooting (mostly a few test rounds here and there) at the old place in Bakersville. I would tell the immediate neighbors not to panic if they heard a muffled gunshot occasionally. As box full of newspapers and magazines was more than adequate to stop .38/.357 and .44/.45...
