If you look at some of the youtube videos that test various pepperball brands out there, it seems fairly ineffective unless you get them near their face. Accuracy is also an issue at any distance.

You seem to have all the evidence. Why not take it to the Mayor's office. Unless the guys who run MSC are related to or are buddies with him. Have a reporter at NJ.com or other news agency create a juicy investigative journalism story. The thing about NJ is that we expect to pay more for everything, and just roll over(or bend over) and pay. More people have to do what you did and investigate exactly why it costs so much and where all this money is going?

COLLATERAL. Alley Scene= Tom Cruise:"Yo Homey...that my briefcase ?"

I think it would be cool to have a NJSP marked pistol... I'm not an operator nor do I pretend to be, so a hiccup at the range is OK as I wouldn't plan on using the pistol for home defense if it doesn't prove itself reliable. NJ tax payers should have first crack at these.

Where can I sign up to get one of these used Sig police pistols for cheap?

I wonder how many 80% ARs or now Glocks have been confiscated for use in a crime? They seem so easy to get- even Brownells and Midway are selling them.

I say if you can afford it and want it then GET IT! If it will make you smile, get it. We , at least most of us, are not "operators" , but guns like this make you look forward to going to the range. The platform loses its purpose when it's not full auto, but buy it for the same reason I bought the GSG mp5 22 cal clone instead of an ordinary 10/22.(it's just cool to have).

Wow, you picked a great gun as a first. I think it will spoil you from other guns. It is my favorite self defense pistol so far. It fits my hand perfectly, I feel the balance of the 229 frame is better than the larger 226. It has the right NJ magazine capacity. The trigger is smooth. You definitely have to practice your double to single action transitions and DA accuracy from draws. Get yourself some snap caps and work on your DA pull- you will notice a difference at the range. My only issue is that the "skinnier" trigger pulls all the way to the rear of the trigger guard and can pinch your finger if you put too much finger over the trigger. When I place just the pad of my finger on it , I don't get pinched. It has been reliable with 1000+ rounds, with FMJs and hollow points with multiple bullet weights too.

Robo, how's the trigger compared to your "broken in" 69?

I like how some guys say you don't need a cleaning rod in your AK... as the C39 and RAS47 don't come with one. It seemed to have saved his but in this instance.

I say CZ. You won't regret it. I am a recent convert. The glock would just duplicate the M&P(Striker fired pistol)- unless you're getting it in a different caliber. Cz- double action/single action will add variety to your collection, and likely accuracy to your shooting due to the single action trigger.

All of these 9mm carbines are so expensive. I would like a Sig MPX, or even a Kriss Vector for that price... But I'm satisfied with my hi point 995 for 9mm cheap ammo plinking

I've had the same experience with my "planet of the apes" carbine. Perfect for plinking. Sights are easy to pick up and be accurate with. The trigger reminds me of firing a squirt gun (fat and plastic) but it does its job.

Sureeal- have you had a chance to take this rifle to the range? I thinking of getting into the cheaper 7.62x39 ammo.

I don't understand... you have a 9mm. Why do you need to buy another 9mm or something that has to be able to to convert to it. (Unless your ruger is not working well for you, or you don't have fun shooting it.) If you want a 1911, why not buy the 1911 NOW? I would go for variety instead of similarity(especially for just your second gun).

I don't mind the doctor doing their job of being your child's advocate or reminding you to be safe and to teach your kids proper handling/respect for firearms. Is it any different when they lecture you to cut back on the potato chips, chocolate, cigarettes or Beer? You don't like to hear it but they have to say it. Not all doctors are bad... http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/03/health/san-bernardino-swat-doctor-profile/index.html

jpknj, How do you like the rami? I too have been bitten by the CZ bug recently... a Shadow Tac. I wanted to get a smaller version with a decocker- was looking at the RAMI.

I find this funny in that mostly you hear the OPPOSITE: I dont / can't shoot glocks well therefore I don't own any. I agree it's a technique thing and "what you're used to". Spending more time / training with the vp9 will likely solve the issue.

how about that site on buds... shipmygun.com $29 to your FFL. Use an FFL who knows you to make arrangements(hopefully minimal charge), bring your pistol permit with appropriate serial numbers and ID/FID. Never used them before but your situation brought this to mind.

Did the round that was pinched fail to load or was there a round already in the chamber( like a double feed)?

Oh boy the lawyers are gonna lick their chops. If this elderly couple has any money, they will likely now be sued by this guys family for providing a weapon to a mentally unstable person... pain and suffering, mental anguish etc....

Found these on sale at Home Depot in Toms Riiver for $50. Not listed on sale on the website. Usually $66-69. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Peltor-Tactical-100-Electronic-Hearing-Protector-TAC100-OTH/205139061 Haven't used them yet- normally use the howard Leights impact sports but these have good reviews too.

You can definitely find bargains, especially with uncommon weapons. With more common models you can usually get a comparable deal locally. Advantage of buying locally is that you examine the gun BEFORE buying ( i.e. feel the trigger, examine for blemishes) , you support the local guys and you get to take it home right away!

I have the the M11A1 for about 2 months and have about 700 rds through it. All I can say is that I am now a SIG Fanboy! This is my first DA/SA- usually shoot 1911's and M&Ps. I am now convinced that for ME this is the way to go for a self defense trigger. Its a very accurate gun, even with the DA pull because it is so smooth. The Short Reset Trigger is nice for follow-up shots but I have not shot a regular Sig trigger to compare. I am now seriously thinking about getting the full sized brother MK25 so I can put a light on it for HD. Will have to wait for funds to recover though.

I went in for FID address change. They changed the process- instead of giving them a check($18)- the background check is done online now: https://www.njportal.com/NJSP/CriminalRecords You pay $20 and get a receipt that you submit with your paperwork to your local police dept. I just had to pay for pistol permits $2 per permit.
