  1. This may sound silly to you...however, there is a very nice bulgarian Makarov in 9mm Mak available.  

    This will be small enough light enough to carry all day...now the gun is also very very accurate.

    This is a fixed barrel....very accurate ..did I say accurate?

    Downside....ammo, it is available....  8shots single stack...but heel release....

    One of the pistols I will shoot with is that...and a hi power of course.

    Even if you don't carry with it....get one...one is for sale in the forum....

    In lieu of a 1 ton press, I use a brass punch and have the ability to admit defeat and pass it to a professional if I don't succeed.

    They don't make them any more. You would have to go to the used market, which is not what everybody wants.

    LOL - a man has to know his limitations - 

     

    Some are tighter than others and frame damage can ensue if the punch slips - 

     

    The Inglis I have was a bear even with the press - let alone changing the locking block on an FAL/SLR type....

    I am curious to try out these newer clones. 

    The new FN is not a traditional HP


    The Springfield is - but there are nuances with it to ensure reliability - i read it is a solid firearm but not worth the price it is getting on the used market when you can get genuine FN product at the same price, if not a few points higher.

    Removing the mag safety is a piece of cake - 2 pins and it comes out then you put 1 pin back in.

    I did it for @Krdshrk in about 3 minutes.

    Some pins need a press to remove....some don't.

    The issue is if the pin you are trying to remove is stuck and you keep wracking it...you deform it more and a chance to deform the hole.

     

    A one ton press, with a properly aligned punch,  makes quick work of a trigger frame pin and mag safety pin.

    Anyone know of any shops here in NJ that have SA 35's or MC P35's for sale? Thanks!

    Do not discount the FN Israelis....they look beat up but a fair majority are good to go....  

    They would need work and refinish, but if your looking for a reliable accurate and durable pistol you can't beat it....

    If your looking for pristine, we'll that's another story.

    Yes, I was interested in swapping my 4.2" barrel for the 3" (I believe it's actually 3.1"). It's beginning to look like it would be easier (and possibly cheaper) to buy a new SP101 with the 3" barrel than swap. The Model 5719 lists for $889. Comes with a blade front sight, but from what tunaman said, I could probably get the same fiber optic sight on my current gun that I have become fond of installed if I really don't like the blade. Of course, if I do this I will come a-cropper against using only the gun I qualified with, assuming that the Cape May County judge makes that stipulation. I may jsut give up the idea, at least temporarily, and see how carrying my 4.2" goes for the next 2 years. 

    I am aware of the ballistic fall-off with .357 in the 2-1/4 barrel version, that's why I described it as a .38 Special gun that can shoot .357. The table does seem to show that the 3" barrel would hold its own fairly well.

    Nice...I did see that you were aware in retrospect reading the post....

     

    The nice part about a 357 frame...is you can run a really hotter 38spl..and not get near magnum range.....and still not worry about the pistol...

    You can go to "really safe parties" but the only really safe party is one where EVERYONE is armed... You don't know when a drunk will start pounding on the door or some crackhead will crash...  

    I'm  a recluse, I don't go to parties....I dont get invited, I don't wanna go anyways...humans generally suck....  lololol

     

    I like the woods...no humans....it's peaceful....

  7. Well it is private property....do you have a duty to inform?

    If I am going to a home that is having a party, and I think I might need a handgun for self defense at said party, why would I go to the party and put myself in danger in the first place?

    :)

     

    if they are anything but gun friendly - leave it home

    • Agree 3

  8. You will need a frame support and barrels don't just screw on...they need to me timed....it's a gu smith job.

     

    Also you are not getting the full benefit of the 357 ballistics in 2.5"

    Look at 158gr...2" barrel.....858fps....  that is NOT magnum speed....or pressure

    Getting IDd depends on two things, the gun shop and who is behind the counter.  I have been asked for ID a couple times, but most of the time they don't.  I think they do it mostly to discourage the "fondlers" that can't buy because they have no FPID.  They are time wasters.

    ^^^^^  this.....  having been a pink card holder and non paid employee...( well if you consider lunch and free dibs and surplus that comes in..lol )

    I wouldn't hand a gun to anyone unless I saw and FID....  why?  Because if they had an FID I was at least assured they had 'some' background in firearms...and weren't some wierd yahoo....

    And if you looked like a tool...I just said no.... :)

    Its my discretion and not your right....

    They simply cannot make all places sensitive. 

    Yes, yes they can - look at NYS.

     

    Oh you'll get the permit, but you will not be able to carry anywhere.

     

    Also, frankly, without the ability to carry civil liability insurance while carrying, is it in your best interest to do so?  Carry that is....

     

    That is a choice each one of us has to make.

     

    NOTE I am NOT trying to dissuade you - I am merely pointing out something you should consider

    per email received today:

    "Due to a new bill in California, CMP cannot send out email communications to our subscribers without having your full address and birthday in our email database".

    So why does cali need MY address? don't live there. Not aware that the CMP is based in california, and why does cal need access to names and address in the CMP data base?

    How about the CMP just doesn't do business in california and deal with people in the free world.

    Your overreacting.....  :popcorn:

    That is bizarre.  Looking over the syllabus for the classroom training, I don't think it is humanly possible to speak slowly enough  to hit the minimum 16 hours of required classroom time.

    Then there is two hours of range safety training, again requiring a glacially-slow pace to actually fill two hours.

    And at the end of that, the actual firing qualification is only 5 rounds.  From the ready position.  No holster.  No strong hand/weak hand.  No time limit, go as slowly as you want.  From 12 feet.   Hit a 25" x 11" piece of paper with 4 out of 5 shots, and you've passed.

    It kinda reads like the classroom and range safety sections were written by someone who didn't believe civilians should be granted carry permits, and the qualification section was written by someone who believed you shouldn't have to qualify at all, but had to write something down just the same.

     

    I know an ex nypd cop that belive this..so not out of the realm of possibility

    List of required expenses to practice our "rightvilege":
    $150 - Qualification cost, on average (I spent $350 to do 4 guns)
    $25 - 1 box 50 rounds for qualification (I went through 4 boxes for 4 guns)
    $56 - Identogo fingerprints (I spent $96 due to out of state fee)
    $50 - Treasurer, State of NJ
    $30 - Notary + Photos (I realize this can be done cheaper, this is what was charged at GFH)
    $1.65 - Money order fee
    ----------------------------------------------------
    $312.65 on expenses to exercise our rights. Not to mention, we need to repeat every two years.

    Optional expenses:
    $50 each additional gun
    $25 per box of practice ammo, assuming you want to practice
    $4 per FBI Q target for practice
    $25-$30 per hour for practice range time

    Potentially required expenses:
    $ lost by taking off of work if court hearing required
    $ spent on fuel to travel to the hearing
    $ spent on lawyer to attend hearing or appeal an unjustified denial
    $$$ pyrotechnics permit and trapeze rental for use during qualification

    I have seen successes won through legislative bodies and courts in other states where the financial burden to exercise 2nd amendment rights (and other rights) has been so great that it inherently discriminates against low income Americans. I do think the state of NJ falls well within this kind of situation. I don't think any other state (maybe NY or CA but I truly dont know) comes anywhere close to this kind of financial burden to get "permission" to exercise a right.

    Am I leaving any expenses out?

    Your leaving the point out that....none of us will be able to carry anywhere.....at some point....sensitive places..they r a thing

    My goodness, the level of helplessness is astounding. 

    If you can’t even figure out what range to go to on your own, wait until you have to decide on what holster to get….

     

    Doesn't everyone have a holster footlocker?

    You will have to forgive Rosey, aka Smokin .50.  He's very passionate about the fight for 2A and he comes in hot sometimes.  Actually, he comes in hot all the time.  Spend enough time here and you will get used to it.  He means well.

     

    Well he does drive the 'war machine'...

    Befioe I join and/or contribute to a charitable organization, I always try to verify that the true purpose of the org is to pursue its stated goal, not enrich its principals or employees. I trust you aren't offended by that - there is much too much scammery disguised as "noble causes" going on these days. I usually begin my analysis by doing a Guidestar inquiry, however, there doesn't appear to be very much information on CNJFO available there. Does CNJFO make its form 990 filings and other financial documents easily available somewhere? Thanks. 

    @Smokin .50 and @Krdshrk have been second amendment advocates since as long as i can  recall....  you dont need to see any 990 filings and if you did a bit of research on Rosey on this forum alone you would see he and the CNJFO is a stand up organization....let alone all the other great work they have done, with little to no glory.

    None of my socially diseased media accounts (or my email accounts, or my forum memberships) have identifying information that can be definitively linked to me as a person. That is particularly true of any accounts on sites featuring content that could be considered at all controversial. And beyond that level of indirection, I make certain that I never post anything that could be considered a direct threat, or a direct incitement to any illegal activity. That doesn't mean I don't have opinions that might be considered controversial, or even dangerous, in some quarters, but I keep such opinions almost exclusively to myself; at most possibly shared in face-to-face contact with a few trusted companions. All that is a legacy of >20 years in IT Security. So I don't intend (and have no need) to voluntarily incriminate myself should any  such law come to pass.

    Good answer and I suppose you're right, but I still think you'd have a hard time watching someone drop a bunch of people when you could have at least tried to stop it. 

    These are all GOOD thought provoking comments.  That everyone needs to think about and rehearse as well as the myriad other scenarios.

    Example..your in a restaurant with your family...your armed...someone comes in to stick up the joint....it's your turn to hand over your wallet....  what do you do?

     

     

     

    The correct answer is hand over your wallet....

     If you're not willing to be the good guy with the gun, why bother with the permit at all?

    Not my job.....  they should have armed themselves....  

    My job, is not to be a good samaritan,, when the very people you would likely try to 'protect' will try to have a payday, on YOU....

    I carry to protect myself and my wife when we are together...my responsibilities stop there....

    I am not  a commando, I am not a Leo, I am not a sheepdog for anyone but my children and wife...maybe not a popular stance but hey it works for me.

    My wife, kids, other immediate family or friends that I'm in the company of. Really though if you're in a public place like a mall food court and you have to diffuse a situation you're saving a lot of people that you may not even know, right? We just saw this go down in Indiana. 

    I see @GRIZ already commented, but this is my thought as well, hence my question.

    The Police have no duty to protect you personally, and you have even less of a duty to do so, to protect others.

    This is a very serious question and I do not know the answer.  

    Part of me does not love my fellow man enough to get involved in something that does not directly affect me or my family....

    However, you should ask yourself what you would do and are willing to rosk as well as l war game all these scenarios in your mind.
