The wife and myself were fingerprinted 10/30/09 and we both received on 12/24/09, Christmas Eve. We paid the fees on 10/23/09.

Mine arrived today, 12/24/09. Took 2 months all total. Application submitted 10/23/09

I've had a .380 for about 25 years. I know it is basically a 9mm short, but I always thought of it more in the league of a 32acp, not due to ballistics but because of the lack of popularity. Often I could see that look on peoples face when you say "Its a .380" like they've never heard of such a thing or "didn't you mean to say 38?" But I suspect tons of the things have sold during the past year and I admit, they are small and easy to conceal in a pocket or under the waist band. Richard

So why is that? I'm begining to see 9mm now most everywhere I go, but why not .380? I doubt much of it goes to lawenforcement and certainly not military?

I have an old raven, its petty rough, but it does cycle well, $40 a couple years ago. Any body got a couple extra mags?

Looks like about 4 inches now in the Tri-Cities, Saturday morning.
