  1. Your friend is incorrect. While your 1100 is much nicer (and a better gun than one made today) than the current version, it will still top out in the $500-$550 range unless it was something unusual like Parker mentioned.
  2. OK, thanks. I was wondering if there was a a better low light setup. While the three dot is not my favorite because it draws your eye to the dot instead of the top of the sight, I do like it for a nightstand gun.
  3. What type night sights do you prefer? And why?

    That is true. I wasn't factoring concealed carry into it. If you do, it probably overrides the eAsier shooting of the bigger gun. I have never tried concealing a full size service pistol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Excellent book. Very dark. It is about some unexplained apocalypse, and a father trying to survive with his young son. By the same author who wrote "No Country for Old Men", if you saw the movie.
  6. It's a good thing I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that. I imagine that course will be offered soon at Rutgers if it isn't already. I have to think the ability to major in useless topics like race/sexual grievance mongering might be contributing to the lousy employment rates among recent college grads. Smash the Patriarchy (but let it fund my birth control and college loans first)! You might as well get a degree in Tree-Hugging Lesbian Lingual Clitology.

    Did you ever read "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy? The protagonist in that book had a revolver for self defense and carved bullets out of wood for that very reason. He only had two live bullets.

    I see a New Jersey bias here on the Glock 19. If you weren't limited to 15 rounds (or more likely, the next Democrat Governor makes 10 rounds the max), would you still have the same answer? I find the G17 to be a much softer shooting and accurate gun than the G19. And the extra grip length is appreciated by my big hands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. The regular VP9 has the Superluminova night sughts, which require charging. The police edition has tritium night sights, which don't.
  10. I was reading this thread and opening my mail. I moved out of Jersey 9 months ago. I got this today in the ValPak mailer they send to everyone. You don't see that in Jersey. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Me too, back in 1995. A S&W 686 No dash. It was all such a mystery then. I paid a stupid price for it if I remember correctly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I Sold Out...

    Great gun. I have a Gen 4 and love it. Points very naturally and an easy shooter.
  13. Guerilla warfare. I love it. Fund primary challengers. I Wouldn't be happy until liberals in Jersey spat out my last name with the same venom they do for the Koch Brothers.
  14. Nice first post. Reminds me of the time a few years ago when there was a trip organized for NJGF forum members to visit CJRPC, and CJRPC Board members opened up forum accounts here to spy on them.
  15. It is the super short reset. I think the Walther requires a bit more of a death grip than other striker guns. Holding it a little more loosely allows the recoil to move the gun backward in your hand just a bit, reset the trigger, then activate the trigger when it bounces back on slide return to battery.
  16. That's funny. I have found the G17 and G34 to be very forgiving and capable of long distance accuracy, especially if you upgrade the crappy stock sights.
  17. The trigger pull is lighter and the reset crisper on the Walther. The Walther has excellent fully ambi controls. If you are a lefty, that slide release on the VP9 has a really small shelf and is difficult to manipulate IMO. As a lefty, I much prefer the controls on the PPQ, or if you really want an HK, the HK P30. That said, the VP9's trigger is closer to what most folks come to expect in a polymer gun, albeit on the very good end of the spectrum. I ended up doubling a Walther PPQ a few times when I took one out. It was because it is so much smoother and lighter than my Glock. If I were keeping the PPQ as my one-and-only, I would be OK with this and just train that way. But I am not getting rid of my Glock (cheap, available parts and mags, and easy to work on), so no Walther for me. If I had disposable income, the Walther and the VP9 would be in my collection.
  18. Sgt251 - I can imagine it is difficult to hold your tongue when you feel your friend is being maligned. But you stated this fight will not be won or lost on the internet, and that is true. There is an expression you might want to consider, "Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and the pig enjoys it". While I don't have any insider knowledge on right/wrong done by the Board, I am strongly for eliminating cronyism and the waste/fraud that goes along with it. The money to pay for this legal fight will come out of all of our dues, but if it leads to more transparent policies, it may save us all in the long run. I am hopeful that the truth will prevail.
  19. I believe there is a way to spread the initial cost over a few years.
  20. I just read the entire legal doc. Whether these charges have merit or not (I will withhold my opinion as I cannot back it up with evidence), the requests made of the club in number 6, A through L, (I would've pasted here if I could) are all good governance, transparency related steps that I would think anyone of good intentions would support. The appearance of impropriety can often be as bad as the occurrence of it.
  21. The P7 is my cold weather carry piece up here in New Hampshire. While heavy, it is pretty slim and super flat, with no levers jutting out. Oh, and it shoots like a laser.
  22. Great read. Shane, I remember once asking you about a precision 308 rifle and you (very diplomatically I should add) steering me away from the M14 clones, saying how much work and expense was required to accurize them. As usual, good advice.
  23. I have a $100 Amazon Gift Card I got for Christmas that I keep trying (and failing) to use, but end up finding better deal on other sites. I am sure I will have a use for it eventually, but there are non-Amazon things I would rather purchase now. Would anyone be interested in doing me a favor and swapping the Amazon card for a PayPal payment? Thanks.
  24. Thanks, I mistakenly assumed the A in AIWB to not mean something different than IWB. AIWB would not be much of an option for me.
