North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 231 Customized Holster

There are two types of apartments in New York, condominiums and co-ops. From the appearance of the building, you can't tell which is a co-op and which is a co-op.

A shared apartment is a property with ownership rights. After signing a sales contract, the owner of the shared apartment owns a certain proportion of the apartment and the common area of ​​the building. The owner needs to pay property taxes to the city and pay public management fees to the apartment committee that manages and operates the apartment.

Co-op apartments are different. The entire apartment building is an apartment company. Purchasing an apartment only allows the buyer to own shares of the apartment company. This share only gives the buyer the right to live in the apartment and does not own the property rights of the apartment. The apartment

The property rights are in the hands of the condominium company.

Because there is no property right, there is no need to pay property tax. You only need to pay the company on a monthly basis, and the company as a whole pays the property tax to the city. The buyer pays actually includes property tax and public management fees and other related expenses, but as a cooperation

For apartment companies, the property tax on apartments is much lower than that on shared apartments, which in disguise reduces the purchase price of cooperative apartments.

However, because the cooperative apartment belongs to a company, whether the buyer can purchase it depends entirely on the decision of the apartment committee. They can directly reject the buyer. And when the buyer wants to sell the apartment shares again, it also needs the approval of the apartment committee to avoid the price being too low.

Influence other people.

In short, there are a lot of twists and turns here, including handling fee issues, loan issues, down payment ratio issues, privacy issues, etc...

Jimmy had completely fainted. In this dizzy state, he could not go to see the apartment, so he found a reason and left the agency.

Jimmy had never bought a house before. No matter in his previous life or in this life, he never thought about how troublesome it would be to buy a house. Now that he knew it, he almost gave up the idea of ​​buying an apartment now.

This really needs professionals to handle it. Jimmy can just be a wallet, but professionals need to look for it carefully.

Jimmy was wandering along the road boredly, just like shopping. Now his mind was a little confused, and he wanted to think about what to do next. Suddenly a pickup truck passed by him, and Jimmy found an impressive icon on the car, a silver coat of arms.

Watching the pickup truck drive away, Jimmy suddenly remembered what Justin had said before. He said that he could try to talk to merchants with coats of arms and get services without going through the Continental Hotel, but this method was not practical.

It must be reliable.

Since the Continental Hotel is in Manhattan, their service providers from all walks of life must be nearby. I haven't noticed it before, but it seems I should pay attention to these businesses in the future.

Justin's coat of arms is inside the bar. It can't be seen from the outside, and you can't find it if you don't pay attention. So the store in New York should be like this. What they do is not suitable for publicity. You can't just draw the coat of arms on the sign.

Emblem.

Jimmy began to pay attention to the stores on the roadside. Since there was nothing going on for the time being, he just tried to see if he could find one by chance.

Time came to noon, Jimmy found a small roadside restaurant, had a casual lunch, took a rest, and returned along the original road. When he passed by just now, he found a leather goods store. Although the store was not big, Jimmy knew it.

I walked through the window and saw people doing handicrafts inside, but I didn't go in because I wanted to eat first.

When he saw the leather goods store, Jimmy thought of his own armpit holster. He had previously thought about adding a few bullet holes to the holster, but just in time, when he came across such a store, he quickly took care of the holster and asked him to do so.

Can bring more bullets.

It is really inconvenient to put loose bullets in a suit every day. No matter which pocket you put it in, it is inconvenient and unsightly. You cannot carry more of the same quick loader.

After buying a cup of coffee on the way, Jimmy came to the leather goods store. The welcome bell rang, and an old white Mediterranean man inside raised his head and said, "Welcome, please take a look." Then he lowered his head to handle the leather goods in his hand.

Jimmy nodded to him and began to look at the leather goods on the shelves. There are many types of leather goods here, including small bags such as wallets and coin bags, and business bags such as shoulder bags. There are large and small hangings on a shelf next to it.

There are strips of leather, and there are also large pieces of complete leather. Because Jimmy doesn't know leather goods, he can't tell whether it is cowhide, sheepskin or other leather.

The leather goods on the shelf don't seem to be the kind of goods sold in bulk, because there are basically no two identical bags here. There are some differences on them. Some have different patterns, and some have several styles of leather partitions with contrasting colors. They all look the same.

Handmade.

"Sir, can you customize leather goods here?" Jimmy looked around and went directly to a place not far from the old Mediterranean man.

The old Mediterranean man looked up at Jimmy, then put down the tools in his hands, stood up and said to Jimmy: "What do you want to customize?"

Jimmy pulled his suit open, revealing the holster under his arm, and the revolver was also exposed. The old Mediterranean man was obviously nervous. He took a step back and leaned back a little.

Jimmy waved his hand, took out his wallet from his inner pocket, and flashed his FBI badge. "Don't be nervous, FBI, I'm not a gang member."

The old Mediterranean man breathed a long sigh of relief, and then Jimmy revealed his purpose: "I need to add some holes to my holster to hold spare bullets. Let's see if I can do it?"

Old Mediterranean man: "Oh, can you show me?"

Jimmy took off his suit, pulled out the revolver, took off the holster and handed it to the old Mediterranean man. The old man took it, looked through it, and shook his head, "The quality is not very good. It's best not to bother with it."

The old Mediterranean man returned the holster to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Can you customize it here? Customize an armpit holster according to my body shape."

Old Mediterranean man: "Of course, just follow your holster?"

Jimmy nodded, and the old Mediterranean man walked behind the bar, took out a piece of white paper and a pencil, and began to draw patterns on the paper. It was obvious that his sketching level was very high, and he had finished drawing the look of the gun holster in a short time.

Jimmy discussed with him and added 6 bullet positions on the left and right sides of the holster strap, and added a piece of leather on the right side near the chest to add an additional 12 bullet positions, and then finally decided on the style of the holster.

, he really suffers from the phobia of lack of firepower, and he must bring more bullets to feel at ease.

Mediterranean measured Jimmy's shoulder size. Jimmy also provided a revolver and a bullet for Mediterranean to record the size. Because Jimmy only uses .357 Magnum bullets, it is best to match the bullet position to his own bullet. If it is too tight, it will be too tight.

Pine is not good.

After recording the dimensions, Jimmy placed a deposit and left the leather goods store with a receipt. He picked up the goods three days later. It was obvious that Mediterranean had expedited the process for the sake of Jimmy's FBI, otherwise he wouldn't have known how long it would take to wait.
