    I beleive those models as susceptible to slide cracks. I wonder if there is a collectors premium on them, even with the fault. 

    The story I recall is that some overzealous navy seals ran them hard and got a slide to the nose when the sear pin failed. It’s hard to blame Beretta when you put 30,000 rounds of +P through a gun, but it’s harder to argue with Uncle Sam when he’s paying your bills!

    Also, what’s with the state posting an old version of the statute? This is in the definitions

    "Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm.

    If they can't figure out the above information tell them to stop voting for the people who wrote it.

    Its not my intention to prevent these people from exercising their rights, but they should get a hard taste of the bullshit if they're gonna change their outlook. Helping them cut through it all will undoubtedly make them believe "oh thats not that bad"

    For context, everything I say is covered in “our laws are ineffectual lip service” as a starting point. It exciting to underscore how much BS the democrats try to angle.


  4. I have a few friends that align left/center and are now applying for FPID / P2P in my town.  They know me well and have asked ALL the newbie questions.  I'm happy to help but was wondering if anyone already has an easily digestible NJ guide for new shooters.  Something that helps with the "how does this permit work" and "can I get an AR15 in NJ" would be great.

    Also, does anyone else have good stories about giving advice or guidance to friends or neighbors during the past month?

    That's how I did it but here's 2,000 words on that.

  6. I ordered a set too.  They came fast (typical for Amazon) and the refund processed a few days after shipment.  All good on that front.

    The binos themselves are very good.  I particularly like small features like how the dust covers go on and off.  They aren't on par with my old Nikon 10x25 glass but these will definitely get use.


  7. Aww shucks, I'm going to keep up the Beretta submissions.

    92FS Compact Inox.  I went overboard with the INOX upgrades and replaced every available piece with an INOX replacement from Italy. I then added on 92SB Compact grips with very custom modification to the inner surface so they fit over the larger 92FS hammer pin. I have a stainless magazine floor plate for the total look but it didn't make it out for this photo.

    Mine too!  I would not survive it today! Old age does that to us all.  NOT FAIR!:mad:

    You’d be surprised what can pass for a standard these days. There are plenty of thoroughbred programs, but the army still needs cooks and fuel truck drivers... and they all “pass” basic training.

    Men marry women hoping they will never change.  Women marry men with the intent to change them.

    If you owned guns before you got married, then she married a gun owner.  If she no longer trusts you to own guns and deems you too irresponsible, then your marriage is doomed.

    Buy a safe, lock up the guns and let that be that.  If she presses the issue and says to you...  "You decided guns are more important than me".  Say, "no dear, you decided you cannot trust me, if you cannot trust me to protect you and our family, we don't have a marriage".

    It's that simple.

     

    From what I read, he’s still have sex with this lady. Your plan of buying a second house might well be smart, assuming this marriage is doomed. Just make sure you get the house with the guns in the divorce! Good luck with your priorities, my friend.

    The ASVAB I'm familiar with had  many scores, not just one.  For example, there were scores for GM (general mechanical), CT (clerical technical), MM (mechanical maintenance), GT (general technical), etc.  I guess things change.

    Nope, still the way it’s done and this is all still relevant. Those “composite scores” aka “line scores”, are the critical entrance factors for what MOS he can enlist for. For example, GT is the most important for those seeking to be officers. 

    Make sure to confirm his qualifications with the recruiter prior to him heading to MEPS for enlistment. There will be a bit of a personnel hand off when he cannot talk to his recruiter before signing docs and taking the oath. If it were my boy, I’d want to make sure he’s qualified for the job they are promising AND that there’s a slot available for it.

    I'd go with the 44mag instead of the 357mag. 

    I also have not heard bad things about Taurus revolvers but the few that I've handled are not as nice as S&W. 

    I'd rock a Taurus for hunting and wouldn't feel bad about beating it up. 

    One of the guides on the CNJFO hog hunt had a Dan Wesson 357 that he inherited from his father and plans to leave to his grandkids. That gun looked as worn as could be, but his eyes had a special twinkle when I asked him about it.

    Buy a quality piece and do some quality work with it; you’ll leave a better legacy than the guy with a museum quality gun in the safe.

    With both cameras and guns, I cannot stand having a dangling pinky below.  I have a Ruger LC9S Pro with the extension on it for comfort of shooting.  I may try it again without the pinky extension sometime, but seeing how I can't carry, concealment isn't a real issue.  Around the house, I typically have the Glock 23 or Sig Pro 2022 on me OWB.  The LC9S is my smallest pistol.  All my cameras have a battery grip below, most built-in, some added on.

    If I were actually able to carry, I think I would opt for the 23 or 2022 most of the time.  I just prefer the size of those pistols, and capacity is (was significantly) better than the LC9S.  Once I actually have to worry about carrying, then I'll worry more about if a 1/2" longer pinky grip matters.

    I’m in a similar boat. I shoot my LC9s Pro with the extension. My issue without the extension is that half of my pinky is on the mag lip so I can’t put pressure not relax it since my other fingers are working in gross-motor-skill mode.

    I do have smaller pistols such as the Beretta 21a Bobcat. I now instinctively curl my pinky underneath to act as a platform for the mag. It’s probably why I can deal with a half supported pinky on slightly larger guns.

    Disagree, this interpretation omits the modifiers to "as related by blood or by law" Also, in laws are not related by blood or by law, even though they are referred to as in laws. Those persons related by law are those potential takers under the laws of both adoption and/or intestate succession

    Interesting. I’ll have to read the meaning of intestate succession but I understood you to say that “or by law” is meant to cover those mentioned relationships if they have been established through adoption and not relation through marriage. Is that about right?

    It says "parent" not "in law".

    The transfer of everything needs to done at a FFL unless the father in law establishes a residence in NJ prior to moving to NY.

    I’m following this since I may be in the same boat one day. The only thing I’d add at the moment to @GRIZ is that I believe you to be narrowly reading the definition in part. @njJoniGuy is reading the definition in part and in whole. I see the “by blood or by law” clause to be an additional clarification to all of the aforementioned categories of what constitutes an immediate family relation.
