Congrats. If you haven't been bookmarking sites already, you can flip through the sponsors/vendors/ads on Arsenal Force, Gunpost, and CanadianGunNutz. There seems to be a fair amount of handguns currently available. Not as broad a selection, perhaps, but still some awesome handguns.

How did you get through? I keep getting the call dropped when I am able to make the queue, and not more than 5-10 minutes at a time.
