  1. If you register with SA, occasionally you get a good email deal. Last one I got was 30% my entire order from the e-store. Picked up a bunch of 13 round factory mags.
  2. Mod 2 is a great weapon. I have the 3.3" .45 as my off-duty, shoots very well out of the box, highly doubt you will be disappointed. Like the others have said, some nice goodies in the box, fiber optic sight is great, lots of accessories available for it. Flush mount mag is great for concealing, if you have the ability to carry. I like the X-tension, gives a full size grip to a compact weapon. On the other hand, my first duty weapon was a gen 1 G23. Shoots well, my original probably had close to 10,000 rounds through it over the course of 10 years. I had one slide release spring break, and I honestly don't ever remember a fail to feed or fire. Just issued a new gen 4 G23, had a couple fail to feeds, but mainly I think that was due to shooting before I had time to really disassemble and lube everything. It really will come down to personal preference. You have Glock guys, Sig guys, Springfield guys, etc. Everyone tells you their particular weapon brand is the best. Only you can make the final decision. Go to a local and knowledgeable local gun shop and look at everything. You might be surprised by what you see that you like and what feels comfortable. Then check the ranges that rent weapons, and see if any have the ones you like if you don't know anyone who has that model. Rent a few, shoot and see what you like. I see you're in Monmouth County, check out Howell Gun Works, great guys, know their stuff, pretty good sized selection all the time, and they will take the time to educate you, just maybe not on a Saturday at noon!
  3. I can't speak personally for the FOP or any of the Fire Departments out there, but the NJ PBA and any local PBA's do not solicit via telephone. Period. There are countless numbers of so-called "police/fire fund raising organizations". Thats all they do. Raise funds. Never goes to the actual PBA.
  4. As of 11 am yesterday, Howell Gun Works still had one. Don't recall the price though.
  5. Search youtube for Hank Johnson. This was not his only shining moment.
  6. I know a few of the Enterprise Rent a Cars here in Monmouth County have them for rent. Also, try a dealer like a few others have mentioned, they may have one or two in the loaner fleet you can drive for a few days.
  7. Your county should have a dump you can take it to. SHouldn't cost more than $10-$20 to get rid of.
  8. Best thing to do is contact Camden directly. Since they were taken over/reorganized, I'm not sure of the requirements. I am fairly certain they are no longer civil service.
  9. I just did this yesterday in Long Branch, records guy told me that they usually get a response back same or next day, then they do thier end. I'm not expecting a lot, being New Years Eve, but my last permits came in after about 2 weeks. The biggest kicker is that now, everytime you submit a P2P, you have to do the online B/G check, and its another $18. Guess I'm back to 3 at a time.
  10. There is a full civil service test in the fall, nut unfortunately, registration is closed. Next test will be annouced most likely in the fall of 2015, for a test early in 2016. Keep an eye on the NJ civil service website. http://www.state.nj.us/csc/seekers/jobs/announcements/ Best of luck, I've got 11 1/12 years in, and love it.
  11. Because the suspect turned and pointed his weapon at the responding officer.
  12. Just ordered a box a few minutes ago, so far all went thru. See if I get a shipping confirmation.
  13. Very partial to my Marlin 39A Golden Mountie. 40+ years old and still shoots as good as new.
  14. I don't find it uncomfortable at all. I'm 6'2" 225, plenty of legroom and space. The first gens sat kind of low to the floor, but the later ones are totally different. Drive it everyday, no problems in uniform or out with being uncomfortable.
  15. My new Toy, literally! I've wanted one of these since the Marty McFly days! I love this thing. Best vehicle purchase I've made in a long time.
  16. OP is in luck then. He wants to shoot a mannequin! Tough luck on their misspellings!
  17. Just met with Steve at Monmouth Arms. Very easy transaction, nice guy to do business with. Will definitely be returning for purchases. Thanks again Steve!
  18. To the OP, a great place to start if you have no idea what kind of dog you are interested in, is a dog show. Maybe not Westminster, but find a local show. It will give you the ability to walk around, see actual adult sizes, puppy sizes, talk to people who own the various breeds, and get a good idea of what you will be in for. Then start to narrow down what type of dog you are looking for, and what you want it to be able to do. Do you want it strictly as a family dog, or will you possibly train it as a retriever and hunt with it? Then decide if you want to go to a breeder for a new born puppy, or if you are willing to go the adoption route. A great website is petfinder.com. I got my fox terrier thru that site. I have had dogs almost my entire 38 years, and have had mutts from the pound, pure breeds, and now a rescue dog. The most important thing is do your homework. Not every dog is suitable for all people. Like a previous poster stated, terriers can be a lot of work. Think of them in this generality: they are a wound up spring! I love my fox terrier more than I like most people, but they need a lot of distractions or the furniture and your shoes pay the price! Feel free to PM me, and I can give you info on the various breeds we have owned. Good luck in your search.
  19. Aaaah, the early 90's Roadmaster. My mom had the sedan. What an awesome car. Thing I loved the most, was the diesel train horn they put in. Hit the horn, and people MOVED!
  20. I personally remove the round from my duty weapon's chamber every night when I arrive home. Thats 4-5 nights a week, for 6 straight months. I have never had an issue with any particular round when qualification time comes around. I also use my duty weapon for off-duty, concealed carry also. So, in a 6 month period, I remove and re-chamber the same round upwards of 150-200 times, if not more (4-5 nights a week X 4 weeks a month X 6 months between qualifying, not counting when I use it off duty) with no issues at all. That being said, I do on occasion, (maybe once in a 6 month time period), unload a mag and re-stack rounds in a different order. Unless you are keeping extremely cheap ammunition in your magazine, or have any damage to your extractor, I would worry about it too much.
  21. PSA is selling ATI stripped polymer lowers for $49.95, $7 shipping. Just in case anyone is interested. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ati-omni-stripped-lower-receiver.html
