That brings up a general question. How does one go about purchasing a handgun from out of state? I've never done that. I'm not sure if it's a sale between two private individuals, but if you buy from an online retailer it goes like this:
Search the online retailers for the gun you want at a price that you are willing to pay. Grab-A-Gun, Bud's Guns, KY Guns - these are all folks that I have made purchases from - but there are others. These that I've just named mainly deal in new firearms. There's also Classic Firearms, Southern Ohio Guns, and a few others that deal in mainly surplus guns. I've never dealt directly with any of them, though. In any event, you will most likely have to pay by credit card, and you will, at time of purchase, have to specify a local-to-you FFL dealer that the seller will have to ship the firearm to in your name. They are not, in any circumstance, able to ship the weapon directly to you, the purchaser (unless you have a FFL of some sort yourself, and if you did you wouldn't be asking this question).
Note that most of the on line retailers maintain a list of the FFLs in each state who have already sent the retailer a copy of their license, so you can simply just specify that one at time of purchase. If no FFL nearby is listed, you can ask the FFL if they would accept an on line sale and would then send a copy of their license to the retailer. If so, you can specify that FFL at time of purchase, and the retailer will hold shipment of your purchase until they receive the copy of the license. I've found that most local gun shops are happy to do this, usually charging $25.00 to do the transfer, as all they have to do is record the transfer in their bound book, handle the 4473 paperwork and perform the call for the background check, and take the money.
Also note that, if purchasing a "long gun" (rifle or shotgun) it can even be a shop in a neighboring state, I believe, but a handgun must be transferred by an FFL in the state in which you reside.
When the gun arrives at the FFL they will give you a call to let you know it's there and ready to pick up. You show up, inspect the gun (I believe that if it is not as described, or has an obvious defect, you can refuse delivery, and they will return it free of charge. At least that's how I think it goes, but I've never encountered this.) fill out the 4473 form, the shop does the background check, you pay them the fee for the paperwork, and leave with the gun. Easy as that.

However, some states, notably California, have their own set of conditions and requirements that need to be met.

Thanks for all the help. I wound up buying a BR9. Much to my surprise, except for the butt ugly cerakote finish, it seems to be higher quality than my T.

I like it a lot. Tighter tolerances than the T, and sights are much better. It is about 0.05" narrower than the T and feels a bit different, even with identical Altamont grips.
I'm not a fan of the Cerakote. T blue job is much prettier.
Nicest thing about it is that it has no sentimental value, so I am willing to carry it.

Update - the BR9 is great for car carry with 20 round Beretta 92FS magazine.
