    Can I ask the really stupid question..   What is this for?  Solely for HD?   (which I would assume it would have to be).   Why would you get her a small snappy 9mm gun for HD?  I would think that a bigger, heavier, less recoil 9mm would be more conducive to HD.. 

     

    Also, the "look good in my safe" comment....   seriously?  This can't truly be a consideration here, can it? 

     

    Also - is she ever planning to shoot this gun on her own?   (i.e. go to the range without you)..

    I have a bunch of them.  I have not had one NOT work for me yet (not have I had any crack on me).  That said, I used them for the range, so there isn't a lot of heavy duty use happening.  Given that they're $10/mag cheaper than the Pmags, they are great to stock up on, but I would always have a few pmags hanging around.

    This is just my opinion but I feel the M&P has the best ergonomics on any pistol I've held, including the ppq. I also like the lower bore axis of it as well. Having said that, the ppq has a much superior trigger and a tighter barrel lockup than the M&P. My M&P 9 Pro's dwell time was almost non existent, causing the barrel to move around in any given direction before the bullet left it.

    And thats why they make different guns..  lol..   i personally find the ergos of the M&P horrible (for me).  The feel of the PPQ (and my VP9) are considerably more comfortable in my hand.  But everyone likes different things.  :good:

    Just a note - is Steve has sold the PPQ when you go (or doesnt have another one) but still has the PPQ 22, hold that and it will give you a pretty good idea how the regular PPQ feels in the hand.  Yes, it will be slightly lighter (slide not the same material), but the overall ergos of the grip are very similar... (would be comparable to medium back strap)

    You can protect, provide, plink, compete, teach, learn, and do a hundred other things with an AR platform rifle.

     

    They are easy to assemble, easy to repair, easy to maintain, and easy to troubleshoot. Parts and accessories are plentiful, relatively affordable, and there are multiple companies making them.

     

    They are ergonomic, easy to shoot, low recoil, reliable, durable, and accurate.

     

    Ammunition is plentiful and relatively cheap and accurate.

     

    Thousands of men and women retire from our Armed Forces every year all of experience on this platform. That makes it a natural "go to "firearm for all of them.

     

    There's probably not another firearm out there that checks as many boxes as an AR.

    This.  I dont think I have found a better answer.  Pretty much sums it up.

    My town extends on the spot with no questions.  In fact, when you pick your permits up in the first place, they tell you that if for any reason you dont use them by the end of the 90 days, bring them in to get extended for another 90..   I just had one that was expiring on 6/5..   Went to the PD on 6/2, and the woman at the desk too it, went back to her desk..   5 minutes or so later, i had an extended permit in my hand.. 

     

    It really is dependent on the town..  Some are just less firearm friendly than others.

    I have shot the G19..  Not my favorite gun, but unfortunately I shoot it fairly well and may own one in the future, but...   I own a VP9 (it is my favorite gun at this point) and I also own a Sig P320 Compact (only shot it once, so my opinion is limited - but it is a nice gun also).   PPQ is similar to the VP9 in feel and function, with maybe only a slightly better trigger (and i mean slightly).  Magazines for the G19 are BY FAR cheaper than mags for any of the other 3 mentioned.  Like to the tune of 50% cheaper.  Honestly, you just have to handle them all and see what feels right for you, as they are all quality guns and can't really go wrong on any of them. 

     

    Steve @ Monmouth Arms is my go-to guy..   Always finds me what I need, very competitive pricing and usually pretty close to online prices after all is said and done (once you include shipping, transfer & NICS to the price of an online gun)..

     

    You can certainly handle guns at MA, and you can certainly pay for a gun before having all your paperwork back (and he will hold for you until the paperwork comes in).

    Personally, I use the Howard Leight Impact Sport most of the time.  If i'm shooting indoor, i add foam plugs under those (louder indoor than outdoor).  Recently, I purchased the aforementioned Decibullz and molded them to my ear..  Shot outdoor with only those in (rated up to 31 DB reduction) and they worked perfectly fine for outdoor pistol shooting. 

     

    Also not sure why you say you cant put muffs over a baseball hat..  I wear nothing BUT baseball hats and i have never had an issue putting muffs over the hat (unless you're wearing something that sits 4" above your head).

    so wait? we all have to do this, regardless of town? i just applied earlier this week in lindenwold. my references already got their letters, and put them in todays mail....but no one told me about doing an online background check......

    most towns have gone to the online version..   did you pay your town the $18 for the background check when you submitted?  if not, then chances are you have to..  you may wanna call
