Mrs. Peel, Only have a second but wanted to chime in. Congrats on the pistol! Storage fee is garbage. I just ordered 2 stripped Glock frames yesterday. They will be at my FFL tomorrow and I haven't even submitted my paperwork for my P2P yet. No fees. The plate mentioned above is an excellent and cost effective way to get you what you want. If you move the RDS off the .22 you can always install an iron site back in there. I used one for a time on an Advantage Arms .22 conversion slide for my full size Glocks. It did exactly what I wanted it to do at a fraction of the cost. I'd keep the FFL name to yourself until you have a chance to speak with them. Give them an opportunity to make it right. If you are not satisfied after your next conversation with them, scorched earth.

Which FFL was it so we know to avoid? I've never had one charge me for storage before either. I wish I had known you were looking for a .22LR to put a red dot on - I woulda recommended the Beretta Neos - It has a rail right on the top and I just threw a red dot on with no issues.

I'd go for an accushadow, should be some on gunbroker.

Finally decided to sign up for an account here after reading the forums for quite a while. Just getting back into shooting after many years of being away. Also helping to sell off some reloading equipment for an elderly friend.

According to the NJSP - they are classifying it as a pistol (need HG permit) until the AG makes a final ruling................... Or so i am told.

They're just so f'ing beautiful and intelligent I can't take it. There's a theory that if it wasn't for that she wolf that reckoned 30,000 years ago that it was better to share the warmth of the fire and the food scraps of the humans than to bite them, we wouldn't have had the hunting skills to provide enough protein to feed the evolution of our large brains. Our paths were irretrievably intertwined when she timidly crawled into that cave 30 millennia ago. Every time I walk in the woods with him, take off his leash and he walks next to me, I feel that kindred spirit.

It is supposed to open this summer. Also, I heard it through the grapevine that Bayonne is getting a brand new, custom built range.

That shep reminds me of Baron. Ginormous dog when 7 in Idaho. Pepper was his companion( short hair) . They had to go to the aunts as we were getting stationed in HI.

Use a different FFL

Multiple permits, my dear... burning a hole in my pocket! I already went to pick up the 22 (purchased online previously)... but then had some self-doubt about sinking more money into it. Now that I see those nifty mounting plates, I'm thinking I'll go that way and am feeling more resolved on that issue. Totally separate from that however, I am ALSO considering dipping into my meagre savings and splurging on a 9mm or 38 HD type firearm. In for a penny, in for a pound, right?! So, the research I'm doing right now is on firearms bigger than .22 but that nicely fit a smaller hand. I hope that clarifies things! Sorry for the confusion.

^^ME TOO - And I do not want the Remington copycat version either -

Local pricing is frustrating. I was ready to purchase and I had a good price from my LGS in Burlington County. I happened to be up in Somerset county one night and had the thought to give my business to one of the stores up there, so I called and asked for their best price. It was about $100 over the price I had near me. Needless to say they lost that sale and I bought 2 days later at my local shop.

Got the very same email and was just about to post it, but I believe mine came directly from SA.

That's not bad at all - Besides Steve's (Monmouth Arms) shop (who's prices are phenomenal), and RTSP Blue Label purchases, I have always had this problem elsewhere at other LGS that prices seem to be really lofty to what I could get transferred - I'll keep it in mind, thanks man!

I believe its closed for revovations/lead remedation

My new hobby as well but only just started on aesthetics. Post some pics and details of that bad boy! Nice lookin bobtail you got there My 1st project to make it my own. Best way to get your mind off of things

Well, if you're conversation doesn't achieve an amicable or desired outcome.... I'd release the hounds... Plus we'd all like to know whom not to give our business to. Jus sayen

What do you mean, "you pay up front"? Do you mean for the gun? The gun was paid for. I bought it online and just had it shipped to this guy as required by law (sending to a NJ FFL). I simply picked him because he was nearby and his transfer fee wasn't too bad. Little did I know...! But NO... I'm not trashing him until I talk to him. You wanna think that's dumb or overly cautious, that's fine. I'm self-employed myself. I don't trash any small business person without an opportunity to explain themselves. I just won't do it. I'm dug in on that.

Absolutely. I gave up on the news at the turn of the year. Watching baseball and hand fitting 1911's is a little slice of heaven.

Krdshrk: This is what I think I'm going to do... first, I'm going to let replies roll in here for a few days. IF indeed it seems that the majority are calling BS on this "customary monthly storage fee" stuff, then I'm going to call the FFL back. I'm going to tell him: 1) that I went home and checked my notes from the original call with his employee (and there's no notation of "storage fees") which backs up my recollection, and 2) that I'm a prolific poster who shared my concerns in a large online forum and through crowd sourcing it seems like this is a highly irregular practice and I'm now being asked to share his info online --- how would he prefer to handle this? If this is a bogus charge, I'll give him the chance to make it right.

Stop cheating on Steve... even after he left you with bus money the first time we met.

Turn off all TV news channels, not reading any news at all, shutting down cell phone, even for a week, and focusing on little hobbies does wonders.

There's a reason why I browse Uplifting News on Reddit

I do feel bad! Very bad indeed. I like to think of myself as someone who doesn't get duped. But I think I need to let it go, too. I've had a very hard year. This is not even close to the worst thing that happened. This is not the thing to go to war over... or even lose sleep over for that matter. Of course, if I had my notes in front of me, I would have put up more of a fuss. But, it's water under the bridge now. Damn, this gun better shoot straight! LMAO. In the future, I'll probably do things differently: 1) never buy until the permit is in-hand, and 2) save up and buy something shiny and brand-new (unless it's a collectible/antique). I think I will be happier in the long run if I do those things. Lessons learned!

If you were not told or its not on the notes, then you were duped. Dont feel bad about it, we all get duped.

Summabitch it's 10,000. you have any idea how long that's gonna take me to become an expert here?

i'd call Steve, The high polished might be in stock at his distributor. Its not something he usually has in inventory.

.....so being a Partner in a security company here in NJ but not a former LEO get's you a CCL......is that a stipulation....and / or allowing you to carry only during working security hours.

.......very Professional.

Your wrong.......not just lambasting a business owner ...No, I'm for those fellas that are pro 2A and that have their CCL to grow a pair and use a forum like this to come forward and expose the methods and procedures necessary to actually realize our 2A Constitutional Rights here in NJ...posting anonymous is OK...what exactly does it take......expose it for what it is..... that's the only way it will change for us all, IMO......what annoys me is a fella that has played and knows the system, has the card but BS's the NJ 2 A Community and calls it a Pod C to obviously promote financial gain but refuses to right the situation......we're not idiots, we're honest people..

Quote: "Unfortunately citizens in free states are able to exercise their right to carry without hundreds of thousands of dollars invested, and decades of time before humbling upon an NJ powerbroker who will grease the wheel of a judge so to speak -" There's a word for this.....

Or more to the point, doesn't. A german shepherd can be way more dangerous than a pit. Bruno weighs 130# and he will run your ass down. But he listens. More importantly I trust him and he trusts me to tell him what to do. A dog, any dog is most dangerous when he feels he has to be in charge. As long as he knows who is the alpha, you're good. My dog doesn't cross a threshold before me. It's subtle, but there is no doubt as to his place. So most of the rep that pits get is due to lack of care and it's the owner that should be punished.

When and where can I meet this doggy Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Primarily handguns. But there's some rifles warming up for me in the bullpen. Historically it's been much more convenient to shoot handguns, and my wife is an equal partner in that mode. Shotguns? Only for SD at this point. And I need some practice. I'll keep the Shot Gun Shoot Out in mind. Even if I don't shoot perhaps a little meet and greet would be in order.
