A 1911 (or two!) is on my list of "to own someday", probably a 1911A1 or one with the more modern beavertail. Right up there with a Colt Python and the rest of the HK P7 series.
From what I've read, the 625 can take .45 Auto Rim--can it also take .45GAP with the moon-clips? I'm all about ammo versatility. That, and being able to fire the less expensive but major ammo--.22LR is fun, but the bigger stuff is a different kind of fun. And from what I've seen, .45ACP and 9mm are cheaper than .357 Magnum or even .38 Special.
If it's still there today, I think I will pick up that 625; the Ruger SP101 can wait =)

I only use .45ACP (w/moonclips) with mine, as I always have plenty of it on hand. By the way, if you don't like dealing with the steel moonclips (especially at the range), you can try RIMZ which are plastic. Although, as you noted, the .45 auto rim gets around that issue.

How do you like the Rock? That's what I carry; haven't seen a single failure YET, even during break-in. Well over 750 rounds now...

Not going to be my primary carry gun, though, unless I get a holster that carries it closer to the body, perhaps IWB. Scratched the crap out of the inside of my right arm when I carried it in the Serpa.

Actually, I've only put about 50 rounds through it. Sweetest thing I ever shot. Straight out of the box, accurate within a 4" group in the 9 ring (outstanding shooting for me) at 20', nearly that good at 40 or so.

Tess, you sound like you shoot like I do.
Funny thing is, my groups are just as good if I'm stepping to the side....

I have my Rock in a Sherpa right now. I just put it a little towards my back so my arm doesn't rub on it.

One of those things that I probably would get better if I practiced more, and more faithfully. I figure 4" means I can consistently hit head, center of mass, or groin, so I don't fear being ineffective if I have to use it.
I dream of the day I can spend a few hours with a coach, or take a couple of refresher classes, and improve my actual aim. Over the past few years, both my eyesight and my weight fluctuated a lot, so I have a lot of work to do to get better.

I didnt have time to read every post here so I am just going to ask u guys these questions, If I have my CHP I can go down to any gunshop and buy as many handgun as possible without any limitation? What if I am transferring from other states? Can I pick up my gun from the dealer day to day basis or I have to wait til next month. My partner and I have CHP but was told by the dept that its not required but anyway we got our CHP.

They will give you another form to fill out when you buy the second handgun. I cant remember what the form is called though.
I have no idea how the CHP works though if you are not a VA citizen. I know it will have to be shipped to the FFL in your home state. I guess from there you will have to follow your states laws on handgun purchases.

Just an example, if I were selling, and someone came in, examined wares, and decided he wanted to complete his collection - say, 3 or 4 models of the same line, or something - that probably wouldn't raise my suspicion. If someone wanted to buy 3 or 4 (or more) inexpensive 1911s, or a few of anything else, that would cause me to reconsider that sale.
I didn't have to fill out a DIFFERENT form; it was the same one (bought from two different dealers on the same day). If you buy from the same dealer, I think it's easier.
When you buy from two, you have to tell the second up front that you've purchased another within the previous 30 days, because if he doesn't enter the CHL information, the (computerized) system will reject you - at least that's my understanding from the people I've bought from less than 30 days after my last purchase.

Yes, you can go to a dealer and buy more than one handgun at a time if you have a VA CHL. I don't know about how other states play into it. The questions you'll run in to, of course, are how MANY you're going to buy at once, and why, and how the dealer feels about it. Remember, a dealer can refuse to sell if he has a reason to think you're not not on the up-and-up.I didnt have time to read every post here so I am just going to ask u guys these questions, If I have my CHP I can go down to any gunshop and buy as many handgun as possible without any limitation?

Shouldn't be, 30cal. However, some dealers will not sell long guns to non-residents, even though it's legal, because they are not sure of the laws of the other state and just don't want the hassle.
Virginia dealers also normally ask for additional ID (proof of citizenship / residence) for "evil black rifle" purchases.

In addition, no dealer shall sell, rent, trade or transfer from his inventory any assault firearm to any person who is not a citizen of the United States or who is not a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence. To establish citizenship or lawful admission for a permanent residence for purposes of purchasing an assault firearm, a dealer shall require a prospective purchaser to present a certified birth certificate or a certificate of birth abroad issued by the United States State Department, a certificate of citizenship or a certificate of naturalization issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, an unexpired U.S. passport, a United States citizen identification card, a current voter registration card, a current selective service registration card, or an immigrant visa or other documentation of status as a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
"Assault firearm" means any semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol which expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine which will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition or designed by the manufacturer to accommodate a silencer or equipped with a folding stock.

Oddly enough, Wally World has a good reference on this.
Go to the rifle case in the sporting goods area. There's a little green and red map of the US, with a list of states you can be from and buy longarms.
