Well, I finally made it down to Federal myself yesterday. I got an e-mail from Chris around mid day that the P229 that he had ordered in for me had arrived. Since I had some work down state yesterday, I swung through on my way home. Very friendly guy and, wow, what a price on the gun...even though he did have to get it with the brilliant commie 10 round mags. No worries, however, as he's working on getting me the proper 15 rounders at a great price too! All in all, I'm impressed...now I just need to get to the range to try out my new specimen.
