Hi Guys & Gals,

Soon to be a 14-2 owner! I first fell on love with my Uncle's 15-2 about 20 years ago when he first taught me how to shoot. Since then I've owned several S&W's, Glocks, a Ruger, & and an HK USP but never a DW. I found a 14-2 at a local gun shop, it looked brand new and hardly used and bought it. Had a tight lock, no primer marks, and really clean. I bought it beginning of April and probably have another 30 days before it will be in my hand, today is day 60, dang MD waiting period.

A 90 day wait is asinine. It's days like this where I'm glad I live in a more reasonable state.

Congrats on landing your first DW, and dwf-welcome to thedwf

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Thanks for the Welcome!

 

Yea, the waiting period is terrible. The last pistol I purchased was a Ruger MKIII and it only took 10 days, but that was prior to December '12. While waiting though, I've already purchased an 8" VH to replace the standard 4" that it comes with, Millett DW Scope rings and the barrel tool, just need the actual gun now.

Welcome, to the forum. When you get your Dan please post pic's. We all like pic's. Before somebody else uses it post-pics.

     You should also be aware that were all infected with dwas, odds are you have also infected.

I will post pics as soon as I get my hands on it. The first two months went quickly as I've been pretty busy but time seems to stand still now. I think I'm just gonna be patient and wait for the call to pick it up. Again, thank you guys for the warm welcome. Get ready for some noob questions on the DW once I obtain it.

I forget what I had for dinner, let alone what I bought three months ago...

Needless to say I will not be moving to Maryland!  Come on down to Virginia where we have instant background checks and not waiting.

Thanks! It was worth it. Funny thing is that I heard today that MD State Police gave the go ahead for dealers to release on the 8th day as normal because of the back log, not sure if it's true or just a rumor.
