    Not really.  It's a light polymer gun just like the Glock.  After the break in you could try some ammo with a lower muzzle velocity, that would ease the recoil a bit.  You'd probably do better with a heaver full metal gun if recoil is an issue.

    "Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc said on Tuesday it would stop selling hunting rifles and ammunition at 125 stores and forecast 2019 profit below analysts’ expectations, sending its shares down 10 percent."

    So first you stop selling any guns other than hunting rifles.  Then when sales go in the tank because, well, gun owners all hate you and foot traffic in the store drops.  You decide to drop hunting rifles and ammo too.  I guess?  I'd like to know what Reebok did to get the boot though.

    I bought one last year, it's a great gun IMHO. The trigger out of the box is around a 3-4 pound pull with an unbelievably short reset.  The single issue that I had was it's really manufactured as a NATO gun with a  heavy slide spring that required full power ammo to cycle properly.  I emailed their support, got a response the next day and they sent out a softer spring.  No charge.  I have several thousand rounds through it now and use it for steel matches, it runs flawlessly.

    So have they ever reacted to the interest shown in online petitions and generated a real petition?  Or is this just a feel-good measure for us to think something is being done? 

    There is an actual, legal, paper recall drive that's getting organized.  There was an article in the APP about it awhile ago: https://www.app.com/story/news/politics/new-jersey/2019/01/14/recall-phil-murphy-petition/2568699002/

    It's being organized by three woman on Facebook, they're looking for volunteers to get signatures and for notaries. The FB page for one of the woman organizing this is here https://www.facebook.com/talkingterry 

    This has more discussion and lists some events: https://www.facebook.com/events/369048720555804/?active_tab=discussion

     

    A march on Trenton is being organized for 3/26 here: https://www.wethepeopleofnj.com

    I can't argue it's not a long shot, but with all the bitchin we all do here about comrade Murphy, and since this seems like a legitimate effort these people are making, anyone who can give offer some support really should.  IMHO.

    For those that use amazon,  use amazonsmile.   You can set it up so that 0.5% of your purchase go to the "charity" of your choice.   Oh and by the way CNJFO is one of the "charities".  

    Thanks for pointing this out.  I'd assumed amazon would scrub any 2A org from their charities list. I buy a fair bit of junk from amazon so it was great to be able to do this.

    In case anyone else wants to use CNJFO for amazonsmile you have to spell out the entire name, the search won't find CNJFO.

    I too had been using freedom but I've been looking at www.targetsportsusa.com for my next order.  The prices seem OK and the ship bulk orders free.

    Anyone have any experience with them?

    I thought that I'd update this since I'd decided to order from TS.  I ordered a case of 9mm from them on Monday that was about $.02 per round cheaper than what FM was showing on their web site + the free shipping (FM showed all 9mm out of stock on their website when I checked).  FedEx is delivering the ammo today (Thursday).

    Hard to beat that kind of service especially since FM would've taken about 2 weeks plus the cost of delivery.

    Apparently you have 180 (now 179 I guess) days to address your over 10 round magazines but you're at risk bringing them to the range in the mean time.  I found this on the NJ firearms Facebook page:

    "Evan Nappen was speaking at a US LawShield seminar near me this evening, I wanted to get clarification on a couple of items regarding the magazine ban. Two questions for him were: 1) Does he see any issue with us keeping 15 round magazines in our home defense firearms during the 180 day compliance period 2) During the compliance period, are we ok to continue taking our 15 round magazines to the range and use them? His answer to #1, during the compliance period, he doesn't see an issue continuing to have 15 round magazine in our home defense firearm. His answer to #2, however, there is no provision in the law that permits us to continue taking the magazines to the range. The law actually prohibits the transfer of 15 round magazines, and that prohibition is not covered by the compliance period. He actually sees it as a conflict in the law. He came right out and advised the room to NOT transport magazines with more than 10 round capacity unless you are taking them to a gunsmith for modification."

    The statement accompanying the law states...

    “The bill’s provisions are effective immediately, but allow for a 180-day grace period to transfer, render inoperable, or voluntarily surrender a semi-automatic rifle or magazine that will be unlawful under the bill.”

    There is no provision to allow for the use, just the transfer, etc

    What is it you liked about it?

    Their hammer fired pistols are based on the CZ design.  Not sure about their striker fired.

    You may want to look at the midsized CZs.  The P01 or the PCR are excellant firearms for about $100 - $150 more than you mentioned.  They are based on the full sized CZ-75 platform.  Most everyone who knows them hold CZs in high regards.  "Tack drivers" is a word you'll hear spoken often when they are mentioned.

    They have a new striker fired , P10c, as others mentioned which I'm not familiar with but i believe has received good reviews.

     

    This model Canik has a 5.2 inch barrel which is longer than the 4.9 inch barrel on my Beretta M9A1. so I'm not thinking it's a mid sized gun at all.

    I own a CZ 75D PCR which is a great gun and more accurate than I am.

    I've been thinking about picking up something new to use for the steel matches that I'm currently using the Beretta for.  Not that the Beretta doesn't perform very well.  I wanted something that would perform reasonably well out of the box that I could tweak later if I chose to.. 

    One of the other options I've been considering is the Glock 34 gen 5 (barrel length 5.31).  You'll see these on gun broker for a 'buy now' price starting around $725.  Personally I didn't care for the stock trigger on these so I felt I would need to replace that to start with. The Canik has a very nice 3 to 4 lbs pull with a reset that I thought was better then the Glock, with a price point at $480.  Both guns are marketed as competition with match grade barrels.  Both shot accurately for me when I tried them at different times.

    So given $725 + a new trigger for the Glock and $480 for the Canik with most everything else seeming similar I thought the Canik was worth some consideration. So I thought I'd see if anyone here had a bit more experience with a Canik that could let me know about any downsides I missed by only putting a few rounds though it.

    A buddy that I shoot with brought his new Canik TP9sfx to the range the other day.  I don't own any striker fired pistols and never really thought about picking one up until I played with the Canik a little.  My friend loves it, although he's only put a couple hundred rounds thorough it.  The reviews and YouTube videos are mostly positive, plus these things are only going for somewhere around $480 to $500 on gun broker for what looks a lot like a Walther PPQ clone.  Anyone have any history with one of these guns they'd like to share with the class?

    Looks like someone is trying to push back against citi.
     

    Rep. Todd Rokita (R-IN) is pushing to end Citibank’s federal contract after the finance giant adopted new gun policies that do not respect the Second Amendment.

    Citibank currently enjoys a $700 billion contract with the General Services Administration (GSA), and Rokita is seeking to have that contract terminated.

    There is this site called mewe.  Howell Gun Works posts a few things over there because FB gives them grief so often.  I haven't looked around there much other than checking out the posts from Howell, so you'll have to take a look and make your own judgement. 

    Clearly with 2 billion users no one is going to have the breath of content that FB does.

    Mewe might become a good spot for FFLs to list their wares and maybe some YouTube videos will move there having been kicked off of YouTube. Could just fade away eventually too.

    This is a link to an article from them telling you why you should use them and dump FB.  The URL to the site itself is just mewe.com

    One step at a time.  Even if Peruta is heard by the Court and we win, I have no doubt that NJ will push the envelope to make it as difficult as possible to obtain a permit and may not even comply at all without another lawsuit.  Best case, even with a win, this will take years.

    This is exactly what I was thinking.  NJ will throw up road block after road block, tie it up in court for years and then come up with more road blocks and on and on.  Look at Chicago that's been their play book so far.

    Interesting question. I always thought that if you are charged with a crime (criminal offense) no insurance policy will cover you, even ccw insurance.

     

    If it is a matter of civil liability for self-defense then wouldn't something like an umbrella policy on your HO policy cover you? Seems that self-defense is self-defense regardless of the tool used to defend yourself (even hands/fists).

     

    But if you were to use your firearm in what you believe to be self-defense and then get charged with aggravated assault, murder, manslaughter, etc, would these CCW policies cover a criminal defense (even if you are likely 100% innocent of the charge?

     

    I've looked at a couple of the CCW policies, mostly out of curiosity.  What I got out of it was that most would cover up to a limit for a criminal defense if you were found not guilty, if you came in guilty you were on the hook for the bill.  If I remember correctly they would also cover you for a civil defense but I don't recall what happened if you ended up with a judgement against you.

    Just got home and got Saturday's mail. Oh happy day, it was in there. Issue date 2/28/17. Expires 6/30/2022.

     

    That's 5 years and 4 months!!!

     

     

    I'm happy to report that my NH non-resident "Pistol/Revolver License" arrived today, a week earlier than I expected. Like Darrenf, issue date is 2/28/2017, but my expiration date is 3/31/2022. Not sure why, but I can't complain.

     

    I know that this may be a paranoid question, but no where on the license does it say "concealed carry." This can be used in PA (among other states) for CCW, correct?

     

    They must be assigning random expiration dates. Mine came Saturday (3/4) with a 2/28 issue date and 12/31/22 expiration.  That comes out to 5 years 10 months.
