Get pistol/revolver written on license from licensing authority. That should solve the problem.My luck is such that i have a PISTOL ONLY licence.

I send the application with Rs 25000 DD and the required documents to GSF Cossipore on 12 Apr 11 for booking a .32 pistol. Today, I got the application returned back along with a covering letter dated 04/05/2011 saying that " due to introduction of e-booking system wef 01/04/2011, your application is returned herewith unactioned with a request to visit our website gsf.gov.in for e-booking which will be made operative soon. Inconvinience is deeply regretted."
I have checked every search engine/site/link etc. etc. but there is no website in this URL or for that matter in any name for GSF Cossipore. Apparently this is a joke being played on the hapless customers by the babus at the GSF. They can afford to play such pathetic jokes on the customers due the GSF's brutal monopoly and strict control on imports. There is a long waiting list of around one and half years to get allotted with such an astronomically priced piece of shoddy workmanship.
The day Govt allows import of fire arms (like pre-1986), I am sure every single applicant will cancell the order placed with the GSF. That day, I will donate my IOF Ashani Pistol (if I get one) to be melted for making latrine buckets for Tihar Jail inmates and buy a world class pistol of my choice. But till then will keep searching for that elusive web site!!!! Is there anybody else who is in a simillar state?

I have checked out a number of 'phirangi and desi' hand guns, the price quoted are as follows:
Astra model 3000 .32 pistol (reblued with worn out barrel) = 4.5 lacs
Smith & Wesson .32 LDA 2" B 6 RC revolver (slightly worn barrel) = 6.5 lacs
Webley Scot .32 Mk IV - pocket revolver (moderately worn barrel) = 4.25 lacs
IOF Ashani pistol 2006 make(with rust marks on barrel) = 1.65 lacs
The prices are artificially inflated to astronimical proportions placing beyond the reach of common man! Therefore, I am going for a brand new IOF .32 revolver from FGF Kanpur (I read somewhere that FGF K produces the best quality IOF revolver designated as Mk III). I request your guidance in this regard.

Technical problems ? Over - booking ? Lethargic bureaucratic bottlenecks ? What ever might be the reason, now watch the pre-owned Ashani cross the 2L barrier at the dealers !!
