First Post, and an Open Ended Question

OK so first -- thank you, everyone, for all of your responses. That is some very good information. I went over the FAQ again (more closely) and picked up even more good info there. Here are a couple additional things to throw at you.

First is that an inspection period is not that viable for me - owing to restrictive laws here in NY. I can't actually take possession of a handgun until I get an amended pistol license that lists the new gun - which is generally a minimum of a 2 week turnaround time. So . . . it is all that much more important to have a good and credible seller.

The second is that I just sort of like old things. From a collector point of view -- and again, this is supposed to be a shooter -- I generally find earlier versions and models to be more interesting. There are a lot of older DWM's available out there - what about them, versus the Mausers? And what about a .30 Luger gun - obviously locating ammo would be more of an issue, but is a .30 Luger gun less likely to have been beat up with "hot" 9mm loads?

Thanks again for the welcome and the input everyone.
