Lawdwaz Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nice Red! I saw your flags advertisement at Lancaster Speedway last night. You ever go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thphm Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 If you are going to carry Just that pistol thats fine,Remember they are big and bulky,carrying that and a rifle was just too much for me.Sold it and bought a Contender a little lighter ( yes it is a single shot ) but I can shoot anything from a .22 and up with a BBL, change. What are the odds of downing a deer after the first shot with a pistole anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter49 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 17 months is a long wait. What county are you in?? Erie co. Myself & my son in law just got ours after a 16 mo. wait & his buddy is still waiting for his just as long! I was just in the permit Dept. to reg. my first pistol & saw the judge that signs the permits & he has to be 85yrs.+ old, he proabaly forgets what he is there for! lol.

WNY_Whitetailer Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Congrats...Hunting/target restriction is typical for Erie County even though there shouldn't be any. That Ruger is one tough hombre. It can handle some pretty hot loads. Are you going to mount an optic on it?

Red Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Nice Red! I saw your flags advertisement at Lancaster Speedway last night. You ever go? I haven't been there for a race in years but I stop up there each year and get a few pieces of their foam for target shooting with the bow they are pretty good there with giving the stuff away and it works great ive gotten pieces that were 4x6 and 2 feet thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think when I got my pistol permit (~'86), it took ~4 months! I had no idea it takes so long to get them now! My son (18) was just asking when he could get his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
