Yet another new guy From Old Bridge

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I'm a new to the sport/lifestyle. Still waiting for OBPD to finish the FID and PP process. It's gonna be a looong wait.

I decided to spend the time torturing myself with which pistol to purchase and i think i have it narrowed down to the Sig 229 or the HK P30.

Welcome from Old Bridge/Matawan

 

Edit : Stay on top of them. After a month start calling every 2 days, then eventually tell them you need to make an appt with the Chief to find out why it is taking so long.

Man, would that NOT work with the P.D. here in Bayonne! They got upset when I started calling two MONTHS after finalizing paperwork. Ultimately, my approved permits sat for two weeks before they admitted they were there. Total of almost four months to get approved. Good luck!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone...

And thanks for the advice Dan, freejersey & bcoops.

I'll definitely stop in at the 2 month mark just to see how things are going. After that, i'll just send my wife to bug them. She filed too, plus it's hard to yell at her.

Iwent in today to check status as i am at 64 days (not that im counting ^_^ ), just waiting to be signed. He signs them all at once. No day could be given.

 

HAHAH, I remember that line. Just tell them you have a competition coming up and you need the gun for it, and to see if you can make an appointment with or ask for the Chief's phone number to call him. Be polite but assertive. Mine were "signed" the next day.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
