Plus facilities & posted store hours etc etc. & retail store...

I know here is Pa in the gun show capital of the world ha-ha; you used to be able to apply for a 01 for gun show sales only. Pretty sure these are hard to get if not impossible anymore.

No store front needed. How could online sites sell online only?

My father in law has this type, He cannot have a actual commercial building/"store front". He sells from his home and online only. I don't know the nomenclature of his FFL, If it's real important I could ask.

Doesn't matter to me as I'm only going to get the 03 C&R FFL.

dijit · 12-03-2012, 12:42 PM

Here are a few things I just deciphered from BATFE regarding home FFL licensing. in order to have a class 01 FFL you need to show store hours and have a store front or if you want to be seen by appointment only then you need to acquire gunsmith certification or if I understand this right you need to have your firearms instructor certification and you can operate your home as a warehouse. I started my search here http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/ and keep in mind all of these are captioned with you must comply with state zoning and licensing laws as well as the federal laws.

Anyone have experience with the 9mm Springfield XDm? Pros/cons?

Yea, which one the 4.5 or 3.8? What are you intending do with it carry and target shooting.

big pete · 12-03-2012, 05:05 PM

3.8". Will be used for the range and home

RobR1205 · 12-03-2012, 05:47 PM

Hello fellow shooters. Happy to say that I qualified as an Expert in the rifle portion of the USCG Marksman Test today.

Our service weapon is the M16, where we are evaluated at three positions (prone, sitting, standing) at slow fire and rapid fire. The three qualifications you can receive are Basic (140/200), Sharpshooter (160/200), or Expert (175/200). I scored 178

TJarv · 12-03-2012, 05:55 PM

That's awesome Rob

Cigar Mike · 12-03-2012, 06:33 PM

Congrats!
More bling for your rack!

great job Rob.

Well I think a few more days of wiping down the rifle stock with BLO and then a couple days of drying and she will be done. Pictures to come when it's all back together.

I have the XDm 4.5 in .45 ACP. Only drawback I Have had so far after about 200 rounds was occasionally the larger JHP 220 gr. didnt want to feed. Took it to my local gunsmith and the next day it worked great. He just polished the feeder ramp. 500 rounds later and no issues at all. I did go back to the 180 gr gold dots for defense carry. I can get almost 1150 fps if I home load without risking the frame from too much pressure.

To be honest I expected to be a little disappointed going from a Sig 256 in .357sig to the XD in .45 ACP but with the exception of the greater recoil both due to caliber and lighter frame it has performed very well.

Seems like a toss up between the Glock 19 and XDM 3.8. I'll have to find a local dealer with the XDM in stock and see how it feels.

I own both, my G19 is my favorite.

Me, as well. I had a really inconstant feed problem on my daily carry (XD .45 ACP) until I did a little polishing on the feed ramp.

Since then I've paid attention to that on all my new guns when I get them. It really has made a big difference on my .22LRs, as I think that soft lead tends to catch burrs and rough spots more than jacketed rounds would.

Fear not, Rob. In a couple years you'll be cursing every time you have some event or inspection and you have to go check DA just to make sure your rack's up to date. It'll seem like it happens all at once.
