An aside on this idiot law: The shop in VA can run exactly the same check as anybody with an FFL makes in any other state. They do so for VA residents. As is the usual with idiot gun laws, the only person this law interferes with is someone who abides by the laws. And it really causes one to think seriously about only buying guns person to person for cash in order to avoid the nuisance factor. It prevents ZERO crimes.
Anyway, there was miscommunication on miscommunication, but I was finally able to pick it up today. And I'll give you 3 guesses as to where I went immediately after.
It's a repro, of course, a Uberti Stallion in .38 Special. Also called a "pocket revolver" - um, no, my pockets ain't that big. Some things to learn - at one point I had to read the instructions to find out how to eject the spent shells. Going have to get used to that one by one load and eject thing as well as learning to pull the hammer waaaay back in order to go into full cock. Shoots nice, though, and it's an interesting feel to compare against my Kahr CW 9.
It's a powerful addiction, isn't it? While out and about today I saw this:
Heh. I won't buy pink, but I do love purple. And it's so darned CUTE. Yeah, I know...
