  1. I purchased a Lanber 2097 Sporting Lux from CDNN for about 700 I think. It's a really fantastic gun for the price, easily the best value in that price point. Most people haven't heard of Lanber, they're produced in Spain and somehow CDNN had some great deals on them, not sure if they still do. They only had the 28" barrel when I ordered, but then again GlennP has 28" bbl and he shoots damn well. It came with Cyl, Imp Cyl, Mod, and Full chokes too. Only issue I have with the gun is the auto-ejectors are so damn powerful the empties are never seen again. They throw aluminum snap-caps 8 feet away!

     

    Bottom line is most cheap O/U's aren't great, but the Lanber is a diamond in the rough.


  2. It's not a mini-1911, the internals are completely different. With that said, it looks like one and is single-action so it might as well be. I love mine, extremely accurate, very comfortable to wear, excellent sights and fantastic trigger. The pull is a bit heavy (but then again it's supposed to be a carry-gun) though very crisp. Highly recommended.

  3.  

    On one of my radio shows I read a Judges opinion of her denial for a retired assistant District Attorney to carry, she said "in keeping with the restrictive nature of new Jersey's firearms law's I have decided to deny the issuance of the carry permit". Those words have been going around in my head over and over again. We are caught in an ignorant anti-gun viscous circle it seems with no clear way out. All that we do in this State does not seem to even dent the surface.

     

    Christ. It's like using some bastardized version of Stare Decisis. "Since we've always hated guns, I'm going to deny you the right to defend yourself so as not to rock the boat, I'm sure you understand."


  4. This situation falls into the legal gray area I define as "MrP's Law". Yes they have a right to name their kids whatever they want, but it isn't right. I fully support the parents' right to name their kids after Nazi war-criminals but these parents have to respect my right to smack them (the parents) upside the head whenever I see them. Hard.

     

    The mention of previous violence in their household suggests that if the state can prove the children were in danger, the state has every right to remove the children.


  5. The "doubles and triples" are as follows:

     

    .223 ok in a 5.56 gun - not the other way around

    38 Special ok in a .357 magnum gun - again, not the other way around. Please note there's also 38 S&W which cannot be used in either.

    SOME 22 caliber guns can handle 22 short, 22 long and 22 long rifle - they are usually marked as such.

    There's something with 32 caliber and 327 Federal I think but I'll let someone else weigh in on that.

     

     

    There are also several names for the same cartridge:

    9mm = 9x19 = 9mm Luger

     

    Makarov = 9mm Makarov = 9x18

     

    9mm Largo = 9x23 = 9mm Bergmann Bayard = 9mm Bayard

     

    .380 ACP = 9mm kurz = 9x17 = 9mm BrC (Browning Corto) = 9mm short

     

    .32 ACP = 7.65x17 = 7.65mm Browning

     

    9mm = 9mm NATO = 9mm Para(bellum)


  6. Title pretty much says it all. Wondered if anyone besides Victor (vjf915) and I, was going to do the classifier tomorrow at SCFGPA? This required pre-registration and there were only twenty spots and they filled-up within two days. Anybody else from the board?

     

    Adios,

    I'll be there, RO'ing too! So far each time I've shot the classifier I've moved up a rank, hoping to continue that!
