I'm not getting in line any time soon. There's 2,501 reasons not to. The first 2,500 are the cost, but the main one is I'm hoping to broker a deal on a used 12 bore 1100.

The ammo for the 9mm would be pretty much like the 38 spl - only the national brand, only 100 rounds every six months and in this case, only FMJ. One serious advantage is that the ammo they sell to civilians is the same as the Army uses. And the Army uses NATO Spec 9mm which the factory gets fairly close to decently done. The 38 spl, on the other hand, is sub par 158 gr RNL that only gets about 625 fps out of a 4" barrel. But I can hit what I'm aiming at up to 10 meters so will live with what I've got for the time being.

Still waiting to hear from the national shooting federation on what it will take to legally transfer the Remington. If it's doable I'll be doing some talking to the current proprietor ASAP. The federation, however, doesn't appear to be as eager to give info as I am to receive it. One advantage of the 12 bore is that the license is good for 10 years instead of requiring a tri annual renewal like the sixgun does. Oh, and if I can get the funds together they'll even sell me a case of ammo at a time.
