One more permit left

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I have one more permit left and you know I can't let that go to waste. I was thinking about getting an FN 509 Tactical since I don't have anything like it. I already have a pretty spread out list as it is and don't want to add another bullet size to my purchases all the time. Here is my current inventory:

  • Walther PPQ M2
  • Walther PQ5 Match
  • Smith Wesson 1911
  • Beretta 92FS
  • Smith Wesson 627 Revolver ( love this one )
  • H&K VP9
  • Glock X19
  • Bravo Company BCM4 - AR15
  • Rebel Arms - AR15
  • 2 Mossberg Shotguns

 

I use them all at the range and rotate as much as I can. I always bring at least 1 AR and a couple hand guns. The list is in no special order. I like them all, but rarely shoot my 1911 45. Just don't like the feel too much, but want to keep it in my collection. A friend told me that the FN 509 Tactical would fit right into my list of firearms. The price is quite hefty for a polymer, usually $900 local and cheaper online. I was also told to check out Springfields XDS, and Walther CCP I believe it was. I would want a full size 9mm, high quality, and something that would fit into my collection. If you have any recommendations let me know. I'm not against any manufacture.  I did have my eye on the Beretta  APX, which looks great to me. Well thanks fella's. Maybe I'll catch some great recommendations here. Thanks!

Since you already have the VP9 and PPQ 9mm, consider the M&P 2.0 9mm full size. I was surprised how accurately I shot this pistol compared to the other two. The trigger is not a PPQ, but it's close.

But fondle one before purchase if you do consider it. The grip texture is very aggressive. Some like it, and some don't.

The CCP is a wee bit smaller than full size but close to your PPQ. Single stack, with the great soft recoil setup, and now the new ones have done away with the hassle of the special tool for taking it down. (CCPM2)

But it pretty much feels like the PPQ in the hand, just a bit slimmer. 

I know you mentioned not adding another bullet size, but I have to admit being surprised at not seeing a .22 in your list, and, being the ammo is back to reasonable cost, I would toss out there the idea of adding a .22 pistol or rifle something or other to your options. Plenty of good quality stuff out there for decent prices,,,,,,,,,,,,Ruger, S&W, Walther, Beretta, almost all the known brands have something pretty good.

Just my 2 cents, worth about what you paid for it,,,

(careful tho, some people get carried away, I know a few who have ended up with dozens of the little bullet shooters :D)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still on top of the fence on what to use the permit for. I have a few weeks to think about it. I held the FN 509 Tactical yesterday and it was very comfortable. Love the fact you can mount an RMR easily with the supplied plates. Looks like a gun I can beat on and it will keep going. Getting a 22 was always in my mind, bullets are cheap. My father has 2 Sigs. I believe one is the 320 or 220 and I did not like it at all. So that's why I never got a Sig. His has the cut outs at the front of the slide. Hard to shoot for me and just seemed "bulky". The sweetest gun I have that is the easiest to shoot is my H&K 9mm. I heard that the FN's were a good quality like the H&K's. Then there are a couple of Springfield Armory pistols I see that look great too. Too many out there! What's holding me back on that FN 509 Tactical is the $899 price tag. That's big bucks for a polymer pistol. Oh well, what will it be........

Great gun, just as accurate and easy to shoot as it's big brother. I have both and love them.

My next permit has the VP9sk written on it, when it comes.

What about the Arex Rex Zero 1? If you're not a Sig fan, I guess you wouldn't like this one, since it's basically a P226 clone, but figured I'd throw it out there, as it seems to be a cost-effective full size. Anyone have experience with it? 

I also see M&P missing from your collection. I believe their full size 9mm is the M&P9 M2.0... I don't have any personal experience with this line myself, perhaps others do. 

Ruger SR9 another option.

VP9 is most likely next for me - nice to see positive reviews of it here. If not that, probably the P320. More likely scenario is I choose one, then end up with the other as well.

I second the CZ suggestion. Either the Shadow or a SP01. I highly recommend a Cajun Gun Works build.

Also, a 9mm 1911. There are many great options available in all pricepoints from Springfield to Nighthawk and everything in between.

Considering your collection, a .22 Semi like the Buckmark or Ruger would be a good addition.

Based on his list of his current collection. the SR9 belongs no place in that LOL.

VP9 is nice but he already has the PPQ which is similar if not better.

      Hello,
      Just want to clarify a few things that aren't evident to me procedurally, from my reading other discussions...
      1) Based upon an assumed approval for an extension of permits, the most permits you can request if adhering to a single purchase per 30 days is 5. This allows sequential 30 day buys, i.e. day 1, 31, 61, 91, 121 and 151.  Day 181 is not allowable under any circumstances. That isn't really a question, I believe this is fairly well established.
      2) Given the schedule in #1, what defines day #1?  Is it the day the PD chief signs/approves the permits, or is it the day they are picked up?
      3) If one desired to have an exception to acquire more than one pistol in a 30 day window, does this re-start the 30 day clock for regular purchases?  For example, say I purchased a pistol on day 1, then exercised my exemption to buy more for the purpose of building a collection on, say, day 15.  Since I was buying on the basis of an approved exception, is the next allowable window for a regular purchase day 31 or day 45?
      4) If I had a desire to buy three pistols per #3, say one for range use and two as collectibles, does the exemption list all three, or just the two for the collection?  To make this interesting, as an example, say I wanted to buy an off the shelf revolver, and then an 1800s colt and a 1700s flintlock pistol.  The fact that serial numbers are needed aside, the two that one would buy under exception are the colt and the flintlock.  but to exercise the exception, and acquire a suitable range gun, do all three go on for the exception or just two?  What if they are all from different vendors? 
      5) If there is a collectible that I desire to acquire, and do not desire to request exceptions, is it allowable to purchase the firearm (i.e. nothing precludes you from buying a gun if you do not take possession), have it shipped to my FFL (assuming they are agreeable to holding it), and then pick it up when the clock allows?
      6) Is it best practice to provide the exception request for multiple purchases at the time of initial permit paperwork submission?  Ive seen some posts indicate yes, but others that indicate that procedurally the exemption is different.
      Thanks for your time and insight!

      So my PD, like most in the state, can take a few months to issue my pistol permits. My problem is that I like to periodically browse for handguns to purchase. Now, for an online sale, I can buy and have it sit at my FFL until the permit matures.
      The problem for me arises when it comes to a private/face to face sale. If I want to buy and avoid FFL and NICS fees, it would mean that I'd need a pistol permit ready. But since they can take months to process, this is rarely the case. Obviously one solution is to involve a FFL and pay more fees. 
      One other solution is to just apply for pistol permits every 6 months since they are valid for that long (including extension). This way I suppose I could always be ready for a local NJ private sale (and let them expire if I don't find anything I like)... 
      Would there be any legal problems with this? Any other ideas or solutions? What do you do if you like to buy pistols relatively often?

      Hey all,
       
      I am really busy these days was wondering if anyone has the new Fair lawn permit applications scanned or PDFed somewhere. I have the old packet but it has changed.
       
      thanks

      Hey guys,
       
      My name is Frankie. I am new to firearms all around and I am excited to start my journey into the world of firearms. I am from Monmouth county and I am currently waiting on my FID and Permit so i can purchase my first handgun, the Glock 19. Here is my experience so far with the application process with the Middletown PD:
       
      5/13- Filled out FID and Permit application
       
      5/21- Got fingerprints done
       
      5/23- References received and sent back letter to my PD
       
      5/24- Went into PD and followed up with copy of my finger prints receipt becauseI wasn't sure if I had to bring that back. The women at the desk told me I did not have to however she took my papers and made a copy for their records.
       
      6/7- Called the records department in Middletown PD and kindly asked for an update on my application. The women was very nice and more than happy to check my status. She told me that they had recieved all my paper work a couple days ago and that they are processing them at the moment. I am hopeful that they will be done soon. A couple of my buddies have told me that my PD is fairly quick so my fingers are crossed!!

      Just to be clear, the 30-day rule between purchases is for handguns only, right? And that purchase would have no effect on buying a long gun?
       
      So if I legally used one of my handgun P2Ps yesterday, I could legally buy a long gun today and tomorrow and every day between now and doomsday and I'd be legal?  I just want to make sure the rule isn't 30 days between "any" gun purchases. 
       
      Thanks.
