  1. Sigh...me too! And you got a free steak knife or drinking glass with a fill-up
  2. Hey! Thanks! I didn't think to look on ebay. I thought they stopped listing gun stuff.
  3. A buddy of mine has the gun...needs magazines
  4. If I'm not mistaken, the ANJRPC et al have a mag ban case pending somewhere, but the fight against the carry killer bill is getting all the attention for now.
  5. I agree, FWIW. Regardless of the outcome of a 3 judge review this case was predestined to go en banc anyway. This speeds things up by skipping the "middleman". Maybe now we can get a final, national ruling before I croak.
  6. I'm looking forward to calling back my standard capacity magazines out of exile in South Carolina!
  7. I've been taking courses at GFH since around 2010-2012 or so. Anthony has been a strong champion of 2A rights and a straight shooter for as long as I have been going there (with just a touch of P.T. Barnum thrown in). If it wasn't such a long drive for me to a heavily congested part of NJ, I would have bought and maintained a membership there. These old bones don't tolerate sitting in a car for long periods of time.
  8. After the dust settles a little, I would like to see the ANJRPC and/or other 2A organizations (yes, I'm a dues paying member of them all) go after the ban on civilians carrying hollow points in NJ. Well before carry permits were possible for us peasants, I bought a sub-compact 9mm (Sig 290RS) in case things got so bad here that I was willing to take the legal risk of carrying a concealed pistol. So over the last 8-10 years I was transporting it to/from the range the legal way and practicing with various hollow points (Federal HST's, Winchester Rangers, Speer Gold Dots, etc.). The gun eats them all without a problem. Great...now that I have my carry permit, I buy a few boxes of Hornady Critical Defense...only to find out that the gun won't feed them reliably! It looks like the polymer tip hits the feed ramp and stops short. I tried polishing the feed ramp with Flitz & a dremmel without success. I currently carry it with Corbon Pow'rball, but they are big $$$ and hard to find and so I have limited experience testing them. OK...enough bitching for one post!
  9. I was just reviewing the new, new qualification requirements (posted 9/17/23) and I didn't see any mention of the above listed form. Are we still required to list the handguns we intend to carry?
  10. I have 2 Serpas that I have owned for a long time. I never had any problems with them but I also never gave them rough usage or had to use them in stressful situations. Like 'Old Glock Guy', because they are frowned upon by so many people in the firearms community, I have stopped using them.
  11. I shot the GFH qual course in April 2023 and also signed up for the free re-qual in a few weeks. Does anyone know how we are supposed to find out if our original qual was accepted or not before the 10/1 deadline? Also, Tunaman...just to be clear...if we pass the re-qual now, we can use that as the qualification shoot when we renew in (approx) 2 years?
  12. Thanks for your suggestion. Its not so much that I have a problem with the hard floor, it more relates to the fact that I can't bent my knees. So anytime I have to get on the floor (like cleaning out an under-the-sink trap) I go through a 10 minute ritual of finding a support to lower myself down and then pulling myself back up again.
  13. Speaking only for myself, I can't begrudge anyone from making a buck off the training. He is running a for profit business after all. Additionally, I think he is being more then fair in the way GFH is handling this re-qualification curve ball. When GFH originally started advertising the civilian qualification test they did prominently warn that the standards were in flux and the course they were offering then MAY NOT meet the final requirements. As many others did, I opted to take that risk so I might be able to exercise my 2A rights in NJ before I die. I think he really stepped up to the plate by offering a free re-qual without having to take the holster draw class and prerequisite class for the holster draw.
  14. Yea...I've never gotten a response from that info email address and I've tried on several different occasions on several different topics (including the subject of this post over a week ago). I'll have to try emailing Tony Urena directly. IIRC, I did get a response from him once going back awhile.
