Lancer506

I just picked up my first handgun today and it’s a P320, wanted it sooner rather than later, so I opted for the barebones model. I plan to add siglite night sights and possibly swap out the trigger, but first I need to hit the range! So far I love it. https://imgur.com/a/hjX0o

I’ll sign up and give it a shot, thanks!

Hey guys, got another shot of it the other day but this forum will not allow me to upload the photos as they’re too big. The serial # is 254228 which is less than 400 off from the apparent pistol that “Sgt. York” carried? I’m unfamiliar with him and his story but it came up while doing my research. I also wrote down the stamps I found on the pieces within it. They are as follows: Barrel: 5, P, I, H Slide: C, 7, A, G, 4 Slide (Where Hammer Hits) - H Frame: 2, 7, H, M, G, 8

I plan on joining a generally local range, possibly Old Bridge, but I need to see what is available. And I am in no way offended with anyone’s concerns, this state is extremely liberal and gun laws are garbage in this state. I guess I can say I just don’t want any trouble with the law, as I am pursuing a career in law enforcement myself! Thanks again everyone!

The pistol was only in the holster for photo purposes, definelty not good to leave it in there.

Hey guys, I understand where you’re all coming from about the whole trust issues with being a new poster. You can never be too safe. For the little it may be worth I am simply a college student looking to finally get into firearms. Been around them my whole life thanks to my pop, but of course because of the state we live in I’ve admired them for the most part on the walls collecting dust. I posted my question here for two reasons. 1.) To Save some time 2.) To hear multiple opinions and viewpoints and try to find the common facts within, which in turn would help me figure out the answer I had been seeking. So thanks for everything, and I know now what I’ll do! I’m sure I’ll be back on the forums in time with the new found hobby.

This photo has been cropped down from the original so I can show it here, the serial number is visible but too blurry to make out anything more than the last 4 digits

Hello! Here is a photo I currently have of the pistol, I have several more but it seems I can only upload one to the thread, so here it is

I’ll post the few photos of it that I have to another forum shortly, and maybe later tonight or this weekend I’ll take it out for pics. From what I recall it’s serial number was in the 200,000’s and when checking the date of manufacture I believe it was in 1917 ~ Originally thought it was from 1912 so unless I have the serial number wrong the gun was made toward the later years of WWI

Excellent! Thank you everyone! I’ll be sure to secure a copy of the will to keep with the firearms at all times, I don’t want to be harassed by police in any way shape or form. Last question should anyone have an answer. If the will does not list the guns (there are over 50) or lists them as “Antique” which of course some do now, would I still be covered if they were left to me? I just want to know it in and out as I couldn’t ever afford to replace these guns should they be confiscated. Thanks again!

Thank you for the information! Would this mean that the firearm can be transported to the range and used? I wouldn’t want the lack of paperwork to lead to a confiscation in which I lose an invaluable piece of history.

Hello everyone! I know I am a new member, which after reading the thread that lead to me creating my account, seems to sketch some people out. I am simply here because I am new to the world of firearms, ranges, etc. That being said, I have a problem and am seeking answers. I’m currently waiting to hear back about my purchasers permit, and pistol permit. When I get the thumbs up, I would like to legally register a WWI 1911 that my grandfather had owned. He passed away two years ago, and left my brother and I a firearm collection, mostly antique, with a few “modern” firearms such as an M1 Garland, Lee Enfields, Arisakas, Springfield’s, etc. The problem lies with the paperwork, I don’t think there is any, at least for the pistol I am talking about in this particular situation. My grandfather, who was a police officer from 1963 until 1998, found this .45 on the job at some point and was allowed to keep it, it sat on his mantle ever since. Seeing there is no paperwork, it’s unregistered is and my grandfather is now deceased I have no idea how to go about it. According to my parents (I’m 21) his will did state that the firearm collection went to my brother and I, however I don’t know if it specifically said Antique, or listed the weapons as I have never seen the will. I know I may not be providing the right information but this is what I know as of now. All I want to do is legally register the firearm so I can take it to the range, along with others in due time. If anyone knows how I should go about this, I’m all ears! And in advance, thank you for your help.
