Advise on buying .32 pistol

[major_johnson]

Hi All, I am a serving officer; recently obtained an all india licence for a pistol/revolver/rifle. Please clarify the following doubts:

(a) Any priority for Defence Officers at GSF Kolkatta or any other depot?

(b) Any tax exemption on such a weapon from IOF? If yes what to do to get it?

(c) I have registered for a NSP 7.62 pistol in 2005 with QMG branch AHQ, still not got it. Any sugessions on this regard? As somebody had mentioned earlier that about 7.62 pistol from OF Jabalpur @ Rs 800.

(d) I didnot like the finish of the IOF .32 pistol (2002 make). Is the quality better now? Is it still coming crome plated?

Regards, Maj Johnson

Major wait around and try getting a nice NSP, u may find yourself some good revolvers unless u are really hung up on a pistol... Tip if u have any friends in ordnance specially jabalpur u may find a good piece.
