What would you get

[therognp]

So you are on a two week road trip with your family when your firearm is damaged beyond repair. So you go into a local guns store to replace it. They have the an assortment of the usual brands. Ruger, Smiths, Glocks etc but ammo is short 1 or 2 20 round boxes of each caliber. What would you get and why?

I would be screwed since the PR of MD requires ALL firearms to be registered, so they have to ship to FFL in PR for background and etc.
Bought my wife a unique Savage 99 like her mother once had.  Shipping and FFL clearance dulled that bargain by a good bit.

So, after I bought the replacement and drove back to the PR, I could probably just gotten another one out of the unsafe.
On the other hand I could have a long gun mailed to me, legally.

Maybe my wife would loan me hers?

Not just MD.  You can't take possession of handgun from an out of state seller except from an FFL in your state of residence.  The actual answer is I would get a big fine and 10 years in federal prison.

Well I guess I really appreciate the state I live in. Here you can walk into a gun shop pass the background check and walk out with it we are also an open carry state. Feel bad for you that don't.

In Minnesota, once through the NICS system, the buyer either gets a delay or proceed, if you get a proceed, your good, and can walk out with your dandy new pistol. With a delay, the FBI has three business days to find an issue, if nothing is found, the transfer may automatically proceed. I typically get a delay about 20% of the time, which has always happened when the shop runs the check via their computer. I can't remember a time that I've gotten a delay when the check is done over the phone. We also have open, and or concealed carry

Yup, for SD / CC the same manual of arms is also my approach, and striker fired handguns with no manual safety is my platform of choice for this purpose.   BUT, I do enjoy my range time with my revolvers.

I really like your thinking.  After getting my P365 in early 2018 and figured out it was reliable and accurate, I sold off 4 competing pistols that were good stuff but not quite as good.

I loved my P320 & RX with small grip but being a minimalist, decided that my G20 was just too close to it in size and purpose and accomplished a lot more than the Sig so I passed on both of them.  If I had received some pistol therapy I would have kept them!

I also subscribe to the idea of training with fewer pistols that fit in a different purpose/category assuming I might reach a higher level of training.

I can do that in my state as well.  But I can't do that in your state and you can't do that in my state.  By federal law you can only accomplish a handgun transfer in your own state of residence.
