Mine are named The Beretta, The Browning High Power, The Ruger Mark3 (or just The Ruger for short), and The Model 63. In the interest of full disclosure, my cats are named The Fat Cat, The Black Cat, and The Maine Coon. Only my dogs get real names (Remus and BamBam).

Make sure to try the guavaberry rum. Awesome!

I have to say, that while I really liked the fit of the GSG, the Ruger MKiii Target was much,much more accurate. I tried both at ShoreShot before buying, and the difference in group size was very telling, even though the Ruger was so dirty that it was FTE'ing fairly regularly (that and the cheap Remington Thunderbolt ammo that was all they has available). If you are looking for a gun for accuracy, I'd recommend the Ruger Mark iii. I can't speak for the 22/45 though...

Check out www.rrages.com. I got mine from them a few months ago. $28

Thanks for your replies. Yup, that's what it was. I guess next time I should take the digital scale. These were just marked 9mm, and I actually thought they were going to be closer to 115gr by the look of them.

I think this thread beats the Daily Humor thread for LOL funny....

Well, I picked up some 9mm lead bullets at the Oaks show, and they are 158gr. I checked my Lyman book and the Hodgdon website, and they just have up to 147gr listed for 9mm loads. Does anyone have any reference that lists 157gr lead in 9mm? I'm thinking that it is non-standard for 9mm, and more of a 38 spc bullet... Any thoughts or suggestions on the correct powder for Winchester 231? I don't even see 231 load data for the 147 lead... Should I even attempt this? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

Signed.

Sorry, I haven't replaced the Extractor yet (chickened out after doing the Volquartsen Trigger and Sear, which was about enough headache for one day), but there is a good video from Brandon401401 that shows the firing pin spring at about 2:47 in this youtube. He's using a 22/45, but the insides are similar to the Mark III. This is an Accurizing kit install page, but it has good schematics and shows the trigger plunger. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=12902/GunTechdetail/Tweaking-Ruger-s-Mark-III-Target-Pistol-Accurizing-Kit-and-Target-Grip-Installation

If it's private, let them pay for the beach replenishment every time we get a northeaster.... NJ dumps millions every year into private and public beach replenishment and dune projects, and then have some of the same folks sue the state for ruining their ocean view because of a dune.

Went to Oaks this weekend with the hubby. It was our first ever gun show, and we didn't go with any special gun pickups in mind (although I have been hoping to grab a lever action 22lr rifle used). We were hoping to find deals on AR500 steel, new grips for our 1911, and electronic earmuffs. All three were complete washouts (there was just one vendor that I found with new 1911 grips, and they weren't that impressive). The reloading tables were something that I didn't expect, and we picked up quite a bit, but man o man, do I wish we had brought backpacks to bring our stuff back!

Wow, I don't think I could just stand there filming that. Especially when the lion looks like it is trying to bite the kid on the head, sheesh! Glass partition or no glass partition, I'd be grabbing that baby and getting OUT of there.

This particular fire was at Green Gables Restaurant in Beach Haven.

Jaws, Pulp Fiction, and Good Fellas.

Dramamine and canned beer - mmmm!! Breakfast of champions... I'm with you on this - trolling is definitely better if you suffer from motion sickness. I would recommend Bonine over dramamine, since you don't get nearly as tired. I actually used to resort to the patches that you wear behind the ear for overnight tuna trips, which you can get prescribed. It's been years though, and I don't remember what they were called.

LOL, there was a white one in my neighborhood in Waretown for quite a while. It escaped from its owners house about a 1/2 mile away, and decided that it liked my block (which backs up to a large wooded area). Popcorn park people had tried previously to catch it for the owner in various places around town, and didn't have any luck. When we called him, he drove by and basically 'gave' it to us. Gee, thanks buddy! Annoying, annoying birds.

I'd be interested in these as well. I want a combo H stand that I can use for either steel targets with one 2x4 in the center, or with cardboard targets using two 1x2 furring strips...

Natchez has a pretty good price on it now... http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=CC0953&src=bckrdAlrt

Thanks, I am pretty new to all of this, and expected them to have at least similar trigger pulls. Lessons learned... I'll checkout the websites mentioned above, but would appreciate any info you have on a gunsmith. Here is the old trigger... It's definitely plastic, and I have a hard time imagining that anyone would have opted for this voluntarily, but I did think that it was weird for Colt to cheap out on this. I got the pistol used from Bob's Little Sport shop last month, and he didn't have any history on it so I don't know the date of manufacture, etc. It came from a Colt 1911 MKIV Series 80 Combat Commander in stainless, and I am pretty sure that I saw some pix of other Colts with this same black plastic trigger. It looks a lot nicer with the skeletonized trigger!

Well, the title of the article is pretty incendiary.... It implies that someone got shot for shoplifting! Shouldn't it have said 'Knife-wielding hostage-taker shot at Woodbridge Mall'?

Hi all, hope that you can recommend a fix. My husband and I have recently gotten into target shooting, and the Beretta 92FS was our first semi auto pistol. It was purchased new in December, and we were really happy with it at first. Since then, we've also picked up a used Colt 1911 Series 80 Combat Commander and a new Ruger Mkiii Hunter (we both have our FID cards and 3 P2P each - if only the NJGF arms race allowed husband-wife teams!). Once of the first things the hubby did was to replace the Colt plastic stock trigger with a Nighthawk aftermarket one, which made a world of difference in look and feel. Since then, and since shooting the Ruger, we've really noticed how sloppy the Beretta trigger feels in comparison. Even after you rack the slide, there is a lot of travel distance, and it feels spongy. I tried looking on MidwayUSA to see if they sell the same type of trigger upgrades for the 92fs that they do for the 1911, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Is this normal for a Beretta 92fs? I'm not sure if we should keep looking for trigger upgrades, or if we should send back to Beretta, or if this is just normal for this gun. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Eileen B

Was it a Browning?

The boys...

Another vote for the S&W 22 revolvers. Here's my mid-70s Model 63 with Pachmayr grips (because the wood grips are too small even for my girlie hands). The 317 newer ones use a rounded butt J frame, and are 8 shots.

Thanks, and you too. There were some layoffs, but his shop wasn't hit too hard. Other shops didn't fare nearly as well. Hoping that Revel will revitalize gaming in Atlantic City!
