I submiited all my paper work on July 17, 2013, got finger printed on July 29. Received a call from my local PD on August 28. Within 1 hour of the call, I headed over to my local firearm shop and picked up my pistol. To be honest, I really didn't expect to have my FID and pistol purchase permit in 42 days. I wasn't even prepared to layout the cash. So, I had to ask the wife to pay the balance . Good thing for an understanding wife. She is waiting for her FID too. She applied two weeks after I did.

 

I was really glad that the wait was only 6 weeks. I heard horror stories of people waiting 3 - 6 months just for an FID.

 

I picked up a Para Elite Target 1911. Reason why I chose this pistol. I like the look and feel of a 1911, but most off all, I like the look of the two tone. I know it's a little too much for a first time pistol. So, I went a head and bought the .22 LR conversion for it. I wish the conversion was a two tone.........just kidding. I'm looking to do some plinking and some target practice. I'm planning on trying out the .22 conversion this weekend. As far as .45 cal, I will wait until I get the proper skill and training. Now, if I can only find more .22 LR ammo, I will be set.

Thank you. Yes, I think I was just very lucky. My wife feels a little discouraged. I don't know why, she will get it too. She should have applied the same time I applied. But, you have waited over 4 months. That is what heard a lot.  Hang in there brother, good things will come.

What are you paying for a pack of 100?

 

[Nucrunner 75]

CCI mini mags $9.99 for 100 limit 3 packs

(They may be cheaper via the Internet, but I kinda like walking in - seeing stuff in a case - bull shittin' with the kid, and walking out with something in my hands)

Congrats.  I am over 3 months and waiting, I am thinking about starting to look for a pistol now and if I find one going ahead and purchasing it and having my FFL hold it until I get my permits.  NJSP did tell me 3-4 months when I applied so I should be getting close.

On Thursday DSG Bricktown and Manahawkin would only sell 1 to a customer, had to have my newly permitted bil ( 13 wks in Ocean Township )  with me to get 400 rounds 

[Notime2ride 10]

Well, I did it or should I say we all fired my new Para 1911. However, we only fired the 1911 with the .22 conversion. Between my wife and I and my boys, we fired 200 rounds. We had a great family time. I was so tempted to reinstall the 45 cal barrel back on and fire the 45 but I didn't. The rimfire set felt very comfortable. Maybe next week I will fire the 45. My boys actually did really well, much better than me. I guess all that airsoft practice time they have under their belt really helped their accuracy.
