Hello everyone!

 

What a great site! A lot of very useful info and members here.

 

Just got my FID a week ago - waiting on my wife's to come thru within the next week or so. I used to shoot quite a few years ago when I was in the Navy (Sharp Shooter with a 45 (1911?) - would have gotten Expert but a case ejected up and then down the back of my shirt...ouch!) Used to do some shooting down south but military moves and such just didn't keep up with it. Finally, after the kids have grown and moved on, the wife and I are looking for some fun hobbies to do and remember how much fun it was to shoot.

 

I have two handgun permits waiting to be used and I think for the first purchase I'm leaning towards a Ruger MKiii Hunter. Not sure if I should go with the long or the short barrel though. Not too far from Jim Flynn's too (15 minutes maybe...) looking forward to stopping in and saying hi and seeing what he has. After the 30 day period I'll probably look for something with a bit more fire power, 9mm, 45acp or ?, I don't know yet. Once we go to a shooting range for a while we'll have a better idea on what to get. My wife is also getting two handgun permits with her FID so she can buy the right ones for her use.

Thanks for the warm welcome! And I've already taken advantage of the price request forms. :) Typically, how many responses should I get for something like a MKiii? I've got three or four...hopeing to get a few more then I have to consider the drive time and cost....and hours of operation.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Glad you found your new old hobby. If you know what you want to buy, I would apply for the exemption from the 30 day thing.

 

??? Not sure what you mean. I understand that it's 30 days between handgun purchases....is there another 'time-out' period I need to know about? :icon_e_confused:

Welcome!

 

You can apply for an exemption to transfer more than one HG in a 30 day period. You will need to have them waiting at your FFL before you apply since you will need the serial numbers to apply for the exemption. Not really worth it if you already have your permits and are only looking to buy 2 HG's since it will take 3-4 weeks to get the approved exemption back. If you decide in the future that you want buy multiple HG's file for an exemption.

Ah....whew! Thought there was yet another Jersey hoop to jump thru! Got two handgun permits and will be using one next week. :)

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      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.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      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.
