    As we get closer to the summer we will know more if these supplies would absolutely be needed, but there also can be a be rush with selling out in those months. For reasons I think most of you know about already. Time will tell.

    I could of sworn I heard Nappen on a gun4hire radio show, say that is was not illegal to point a gun at someone on your property to hold him for cops, it's when you shoot them it becomes the problem in NJ.

    Thats a great question! I was wondering myself if its legal to hold a intruder who broke inside your home at gun point while waiting for police. Outside is illegal to brandish a gun even on your own property.  I know also it is illegal to use real handcuffs for a civilians in NJ but zip tie cuffs I believe are allowed. 

    I am meeting with Nappen on Tuesday, and will ask these questions.

    So, you want to go hunting but you have no idea where to start?

     

    In order to buy a hunting license you must take a state certified hunter training course.  The course the state administers is free.  Yes, it's free.

     

    Here's how to get your hunter eduction started:

     

    go here:

    http://www.state.nj..../fgw/hunted.htm

     

    go down to this part:  Where to Get Hunter Education Materials

     

    You do not need to do the huntercourse.com - unless you want to (this is a course you have to pay for, and is not provided by the state)

     

    Watch the video http://www.state.nj..../hntedvideo.htm

    and fill out the workbook http://www.state.nj..../hntedvideo.htm  at the same time

     

    You will need to bring (that's MUST BRING) the completed workbook to the Field Session.

     

    You need to sign up for the field session:

    https://www.nj.wildlifelicense.com/ALS/course/course_report.php

    At certain times of the year, the field sessions fill up (usually right around hunting season).  In general though, they will not turn people away who just "show up" at the field sessions.

     

    At the field session you will take a short multiple choice exam (easy if you watched the video and did the workbook)

    Then you will proceed to the field session where they will (mostly) talk to you about how to hunt and track and safety, etc and then they will split into groups to go to the shotgun station, muzzleloader/rifle station and bow station.

     

    You can elect to do only one station or all three.  I recommend that if you can, you do rifle and shotgun and if you have access to a bow that you do bow as well.
     

    For rifle/muzzle loader and shotgun, the state will supply guns - and you are better off using their equipment.

     

    For the bow portion you are expected to bring your own bow, and be proficient with it.  Your bow will be inspected to ensure that nothing is missing, that the strings are in good condition, etc.  I suggest that you go over your bow with a fine toothed comb.  Compound bows have E-clips at the pulley axles, if even just one E-clip is missing, you will not be permitted to use that bow.

     

    Bow is the only discipline where you REALLY need to show that you can hit the target (reliably).

    Passed my online exam, but no field sessions available yet. And can I bring a 12-gauge shotgun only, or do I have to use a muzzleloader too?   When do they resume?

    I have 3 9mm pistols . I was sold a couple of boxes of Sig V-Crown 9mm JHP's for home defense a couple of months back from my LGS. Today, I went to try out a new range to see if I wanted to join. After shooting for about an hour, we decided to become members. I asked about .357 Magnum ammo for my new 686-6+ and he said they only had Hornady Critical Defense rounds for carryout purchase. He then told me that the red tip Hornady's are the only JHP that are legal to use in the state of NJ. This surprised me, since the LGS sold me the other JHP's and never said anything about not being able to use them in a home defense situation. Can someone confirm that the Sig V-Crowns are basically just expensive range ammo?

    I have that same S&W 686 6 shot in a 2.5 barrel, and I keep it at arm's reach at night from my bed loaded with 38 +P HP ammo. 357 ammo has too much recoil in a 2.5 barrel for home defense.

    I did the process online. I went to gun's for hire for the required training, which is mandatory, and they filled all the paperwork for me. I sent it by mail and 90 days later got my permit. Easy Peasy!

    Beats going somewhere in person to get it done in my book.

    Thanks for the info. Mailed mine a month ago certified mail, and pending in there system. 

    When I was at my gun club a few weeks ago a guy came in showing me his finger print card was rejected, could not read they said. Had to send new prints. That sucks, another 3 month wait.

    1st.. holy shit.. proofread what you type and take the time to type something coherent, I'm having to guess what you actually intended out of your clearly gun related but still approaching word salad in the back half post there. I'm glad to help, but there's only so much to be done without a clear description of the problem.  

    So my best guess on translating your post into questions. 

    1a) You are having issues with failure to eject where some spent cases are not ejecting and remaining hooked on the extractor causing a jam when it tries to feed the next round. 

    or possibly 

    1b)You are loading up. pulling the trigger, get a bang and the gun seems to cycle, but next time you get a click, clear the round and find a fired shell with no bang to go with it. SO you are getting failure to eject, failure to feed, and reinsertion of the spent round. 

    2) you are having issues with the slide not staying open on an empty magazine. 

     

    Both versions of #1 can be caused by a bad ejector. On 320 based guns, make sure the ejector has not been bent up or otherwise damaged. It's this doohickey circled in red in the picture. If yours doesn't look like that in some way, you probably have a problem that is going to need to involve Sig CS.

    Both versions of #1 and #2 can be caused by the gun short stroking. Possible causes of that: 

    a) making contact with the slide with your thumb or any other part of your hand while shooting and thus creating drag on the slide. 

    b) Failure to properly lube the gun. You said you cleaned it, you didn't say if you lubed it, but especially with the tighter lockup of the x-fives, lube matters. 

    c) Light loads and strong springs. If you are shooting cheap ass 115gr bulk plinking ammo, you should probably switch to the lighter of the two springs included with the gun. 

    d) A variation on a above. Your making contact with the slide release while operating the gun. The slide release mechanism would then in turn be creating drag on the slide causing short stroking if/when you push it up, and if you are pushing down, it will prevent it holding the slide open after the last round. 

    e) You have somehow created mechanical interference in the travel of the slide that is not permitting full travel. Like installing both recoil springs at once. I don't think this is possible and still having the gun work at all, but hey there are some impressive members of team push it harder out there. But in general check for anything mechanical that may be interfering with the full travel of the slide. 

    f) The frames are injection molded plastic. Check that there isn't some huge chunk of flashing or piece of sprue left in place by QC people in the dust cover area dragging on the slide in use (or anywhere else, but in general with polymer guns, that's the most likely spot for something like that). 

    g) If you are teacupping the gun and pushing up on the mag... fucking stop that. It's horrible form and can cause jams by pushing the magazine in and causing too much drag on the slide from the top round, causingslide lock prior to the last round being fired, etc. Depending on the gun in question.  It's also possible to damage the ejector on the 320 by shoving the mag up into the gun too hard under certain circumstances. (i.e. slamming the mag in hard on a 21 round mag with aftermarket baseplates that don't prevent over insertion, but hey anything is possible if you are on team push it harder). 

    If you don't know what teacupping is,  here's a helpful graphic: teacup.jpg.4e8b8be30583af102467a9a1e51d0ce8.jpg

     

     

     

     

     

    Thanks a million, I will try these tips, and try the lighter spring.

    Happy New Year

    What kind of ammo are you using?

    A friend at my club had similar issues with his brand new pistol but he was running handloads through it, so that was the culprit.

    Some manufacturers recommend running a few boxes of 147gr ammo through the gun first to break things in, but I'm not sure about Sig...

    Using Remington 115 gr, but will try your suggestion. 

    Thanks
