  A:

  Well it is not an equal match. One is centerfire and the other is a rimfire 22lr. For personal defense the 9mm is better. For inexpensive fun and pest control the 22lr is awesome.

  A:

  Even if your Taurus firearm is rated for Plus-P (“+P”) ammunition, such
  ammunition generates pressures significantly in excess of the pressures
  associated with standard ammunition.Such pressures may affect the useful life
  of the firearm or exceed the margin of safety built into many firearms.Unless you
  need +P ammunition, do not use it, particularly for practice.---Never use “Plus -P -Plus” (+P+) rated ammunition in any Taurus firearm.
  The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) does not
  recognize such ratings and such ammunition can be very dangerous. Firing
  such ammunition can cause catastrophic failure in firearms resulting in serious
  bodily injury or death.---READ PAGE 21--http://www.taurususa.com/pdf/slim_pistol_manual.pdf

  A:

  You don't need a permit in order to pick up a weapon from an FFL. Depending the FFL you use. Depends on the transfer fee you will pay before you walk out of the FFL with your weapon. Just make sure you have a valid DL and that the address is correct on your DL. You will have to fill out paperwork for a backgriund2 check and you don't want anything to cause an issue for you not being able to take your weapon home that day.
