New guy from the Jersey Shore

Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Gene.

I signed up to the forum a few days ago and figured it's time to introduce myself.

I was born and raised in Toms River, spent 6 years in the Marines, and now live in Lacey Township.

Never a hunter, the first gun I ever fired was in the service; I was actually pretty good with the M-16.

I had been wanting to buy a gun for many years, but never got a round to it, until now. I applied for, and received my FID card earlier in the year; I now own a Ruger, P-95 (9mm) and a Mossberg 500 (12ga).

Wecome aboard devildog!

 

I joined these boards way back in, let's see, what is it now.... uhhhh.... oh at least 25 hours ago!

But these guys don't waste any time making you feel right at home. As a matter of fact they turned this "I wanna buy, and I wanna buy it stock - no frills!" guy, into a "build it myself... and build it the way I want it" guy!

(although it did take some effort on their part - for which I am grateful for their patience and inspiration).

 

Anyway, it's great to have another (new) jarhead here. I know that there are others around - I stumbled across a profile pic with a 1stMarDiv logo somewhere around here. And besides, this is a gun forum; catnip for jarheads.

 

See you around on the boards.

welcome Gene! I lived in FR for 33 years. 16 in bamber, using my yard for my range. Those were the days! Made the mistake of moving to Berkeley.

    • 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.
