North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 231 Custom Holsters
There are two types of apartments in New York, Condo and Co-op. From the appearance of the building, you can't tell which one is a co-op and which one is a condo.

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

Cooperative apartments are different. The entire apartment building is an apartment company. Buying an apartment just allows the buyer to own the 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 property right is in the hands of the apartment company.

Because there is no property right, there is no need to pay property tax. You only need to pay the company monthly, and the company as a whole pays property tax to the city.Buyer’s payment actually includes property tax and public management fees and other related expenses. However, as a cooperative apartment company, the property tax of apartments is much lower than that of condominiums, which reduces the purchase price of cooperative apartments in disguise.

However, since the cooperative apartment belongs to a company, whether the buyer can buy 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, as well as handling fees, loans, down payment ratios, privacy issues, etc...

Jimmy was completely dizzy. In this dizzy state, he couldn't go to see the apartment anymore, so he left the agency after finding a reason.

Jimmy has never bought a house before, no matter in his previous life or this life, he never thought about how troublesome it would be to buy a house. Knowing it this time, it almost made him give up the idea of ​​buying an apartment now.

This really needs a professional to deal with it. Jimmy can be used as a wallet. It is this professional who needs to look for it.

Jimmy was strolling on the road bored, and he just regarded it as shopping. Now his mind is a little confused, and he has to think about what to do next.Suddenly a pickup truck passed by him, and Jimmy noticed that there was an impressive icon on the car, a silver coat of arms.

Seeing the pickup truck drive away, Jimmy suddenly remembered what Justin said before. He said that he could find a business with a coat of arms to see if he could talk to them. 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 that I will pay attention to these merchants in the future.

Justin’s coat of arms is inside the bar counter. It cannot be seen from the outside, and you can’t find it if you don’t pay attention. Then the store in New York should be like this. What they do is not so appropriate and public. You can’t directly draw the shield on the signboard Emblem it.

Jimmy began to pay attention to the stores on the side of the road. Anyway, there is nothing to do for the time being, so let's try to see if he can find one by chance.

When it was noon, Jimmy found a small restaurant on the side of the road, had a casual lunch, took a rest, and returned along the same road. When he passed by just now, he found a leather goods store. Although the store was not big, Jimmy knew that Through the window, I saw that the people inside were doing manual work, but I didn't go in because I thought I had to eat first.

When Jimmy saw the leather goods store, he thought of his underarm holster. Before that, he thought about adding a few bullet slots to the holster. It just so happened that when he came across such a store, he quickly settled the holster and let him Can carry more bullets.

It is really inconvenient to put loose bullets in a suit every day, no matter which pocket it is in, it is inconvenient, and it is not good-looking, and the same quick loader cannot be carried too much.

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

Jimmy nodded at him and began to look at the leather goods on the shelves.There are many types of leather goods here, including small bags like wallets and coin purses, and business bags like shoulder bags. There are large and small leathers hanging on a shelf next to them. There are strips and large pieces of complete leather, because Jimmy doesn't know leather goods, and he doesn't know whether it's cowhide, sheepskin or other skins.

The leather goods on the shelf do not seem to be the kind of goods sold in batches, because there are basically no two identical bags here. There are some differences on them. handmade.

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

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

Jimmy opened his suit, revealing the underarm holster and the revolver. The old Mediterranean man was visibly nervous. He took a step back and leaned back a little.

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

The Mediterranean old man let out a long sigh of relief, and then Jimmy revealed his purpose: "I need to add some holes for fixing spare bullets to my holster, see if you can do it?"

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

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

The Mediterranean old man returned the holster to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Then can you customize it here? Customize an underarm holster according to my body shape."

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

Jimmy nodded, and the Mediterranean old man walked behind the bar, took out a blank paper and pencil, and began to draw patterns on the paper. It can be seen that his sketching level is very high, and he drew the shape of the gun holster in a short while.

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, which can add an additional 12 bullet positions, and finally decided on the style of the holster , He really has a phobia of insufficient firepower, so he must bring more bullets to be at ease.

The Mediterranean measured the shoulder size for Jimmy, and Jimmy also provided a revolver and a bullet for the Mediterranean to record the size, because Jimmy only uses . Pine is not good.

After recording the size, Jimmy made a deposit, left the leather goods store with a receipt, and picked up the goods three days later. It was obvious that the Mediterranean was rushing it for the sake of Jimmy's FBI, otherwise it might take a long time to wait.
