Hello from Bangalore...
Hi Every one,
First of all I want to thank all the members for treasure-trove of information about Indian arms scenario in the forum that I read as a non-member. I had no idea about ground reality. It took me almost a year to acquire a license due to current Covid situation, from rifle training to issue of licence. I registered as a member after I got my handgun license.
About myself, my name is Dr. Adarsh, I am a physician. I was in the US from 2000 to 2009. I had a Glock pistol from 2006 to 2008. I had at that time no idea about the arms scene in India or else I would brought one of the NPB as a change of residence to India.
I have not bought a weapon yet, but seeking one. I don't know if I should wait or get the OFB's .
I look forward to being a active member of the forum. Love to learn and share.

Hi Adarsh, Welcome to IFG.
Pity about the non Glock status, but at least you had fun

Welcome Dr. Adarsh.
Choices are very limited in India. You can check Webley India though.

Re: Hello from Bangalore...
Thank you folks. While I screening few gun shops in Bangalore, came across a S & W 31-1 snub nose in mint condition with the original package and literature. Hardly used. Was tempted. Quoted 7.5, i know I could have gotten it for less, but I am going to wait for couple months to see what comes out in the market..
