Quoted: Thank You for the quick response. I have been seriously considering that with the way some of the prices are online. I can get a new H&K Tactical for the price of a new 45 here . I am just not familiar with the process being a newbie. Any sites that explain the process or would some1 be kind enough to explain the process (probly for the 1000th time) Thanks

First, find a dealer that is willing to do the transfer for you. I've seen them charge anywhere from $25-40 to do the transfer, plus another $15 for the NICS check. Consider that when looking at the price of your handgun online. Either way you have to pay for NICS whether it's a transfer or you buy it at a shop in state.
After you have found a dealer, contact whoever you need to to purchase the gun. You will be buying the gun from the seller not your dealer. The seller will require a copy of your FFL's license, which he or she will take care of once you tell them who you are buying it from.
Most online sellers will allow for a 3 day inspection period from the time that it is delivered to your dealer. IF THE SELLER DOES NOT ALLOW AT LEAST A 3 DAY INSPECTION PERIOD, I SUGGEST THAT YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM. It is a common courtesy in the business.Make sure that your dealer will be available within that time frame to allow you to look over the gun. That is your chance to make sure that the condition matches what you purchased and that you are satisfied with the product.
The seller will ship the gun to your dealer. Your dealer will call you when it arrives. Just bring your Permit to Purchase a Handgun with you. Your dealer will call NICS, do the paperwork and you'll be on your way.
If you use Gunbroker or Guns America, read the sellers feedback. I've had a good experience online.
Good Luck. And post pics when you get her before you lose it in a tragic boating accident
