New pistola

[penguin]

Buying it from the guy tomorrow. S&W M&P .45 in black with 5 magazines (3 black and 2 black chrome), case and lock. The barrel has had the vinegar trick done to it, so the barrel is a satin stainless color. Got it for a very good price (well, shipping/FFL fees added almost $100, but the gun was such a good deal I still walked away with it under priced). Here are some pics:

Do any of our Slidell area vendors have good FFL fees?

Nice. I have it in 9mm and I just got one off of Gunbroker in .45. I am waiting for it to come in. How much did you pay for FFL? My shipping and FFL was only $45 combined.

Sweet shooting gun. I have about 500 rounds down range with the 9mm. Never had a hang up.

3+3=5?

If you go into Weapons Training Ammunition in Pearl River they charge 25 but they will sometimes work with you. Esp a new customer.

I bought it from a private individual. His FFL is charging him $50 to ship. I could have him ship it, but since it's a private individual I feel safer going thru an FFL to make sure the gun is there. Not that I don't trust the guy, I'd rather pay the extra fee than for the guy to disappear with all my money. FITS wants about $50 to ship, so I'd rather get it cheaper AND use a vendor here. I'm going to pay his *gasp* paypal fee. It's not much and if I were accepting paypal I'd request it. I'm an honest guy. Like I said, I'm getting the gun for a song, but the shipping etc is what is jacking the price up. There is a .40 on AA right now with a BIN for $389! That's a great price-but it only has 1 mag and no changeable backstraps. 1 xtra mag is $30ish.

and they're a site sponsor.

Do they have extra mags for the .45? on S&W website they want 41 bucks for a mag. Can't seem to find any anywhere else. What is AA?

 

[slinkyonrampage]

Nice gun. Did it come with the TLR-1?

 

[topgunz1]

vinegar? nice piece though. The M&P's are good little guns, the trigger takes some getting used to

I have a m&p .40 and love it. You might want to keep an eye on the mag release for wear. Some early models had an issue with the metal wearing and mags dropping out. Mine malfunctioned around 1100 rounds but they quickly drop shipped me the part and I was back in bid-ness. Enjoy it!

With Bill out of the picture...

S&S does it for $25, but I'm not sure when they are open these days.

You might want to call up Slidell Arms, but I have no idea on the pricing.

FITS is $40 or 10% of the value (which ever is greater)...

If you're near covington, I'd use Ozone Pawn since they are opn till 7 and are $25 a transfer.

Yeah, I was going to use FITS but 40 or 10% over $325 is quite a bit.

Fixed. The old man at ozone is a bag of douche. The guys at Vincents are good dudes.



And what's this vinegar trick that was mentioned?

Well, S&S is out of town so I went thru FITS. Oh well. It's being shipped tomorrow. I might want to sell 2 of the mags, though.
