Waiting period?  What's that?
(kidding)

I sent some woman into a total tizzy when I was talking to my
step-brother-in-law (or something) in RI last week about the latest
pistol I purchased - a CZ52 which got drop-shipped to my front door. 
Having an FFL is a serious money (and time) saver...

The H&K is up there, in terms of reliability.  Glocks are tough - IMO
they'd have to be, since they're so damn ugly.  I like the USP, but
don't find them particularly comfortable.  Like the Glock, I think
they're a little blocky.
