I think it’s well proven that more gun control does not equal a reduction in violent crime. In my mind, fewer lawful people owning and carrying firearms creates a ‘target rich’ environment for those who intend on doing harm to others. While I have the ultimate respect and admiration for law enforcement (they do a tough job that gains little respect by many in our society) , LEO cannot be everywhere at once. Even living 4 blocks from the PD in my little town in NJ, it takes them 2 minutes to get to my house. When seconds count, that’s a lifetime... I mean ZERO disrespect towards LEO...they just can’t be everywhere at once, nor stop every act of violence. God forbid that something would happen at my ranch in Texas. The Sheriff’s Office response time would be closer to an hour, once they got to my property, through my gate, and found my house out in the middle of nowhere. I firmly believe that YOU are responsible for your own safety, and security. I despise that our politicians think otherwise.

Fuck football and the national felon league. shoot guns. smell the freedom.

Mipafox may have said it best in a PM to me a while back. "Fuck the haters. I will tell them when they are being losers, and I will support them when they are standing up. Personalities mean nothing to me. You have always been a good guy, for whatever my opinion is worth." "Fight!" Mipa, in his own often twisted way, just wanted us here in the PRNJ to grow a pair and fight for our rights. He had no patience for those who made any excuses. He was a source of knowledge and quite often, some great advice on how to get things done. His heart was in the right place!

There ya go. Today i took the pic. This was on my way to the "frozen nuts" match at sjsc. Just gotta say thank you to the jr Aducat for doing this. Maybe some Guadagno billboards put up real fast??? Go fund me page. God bless America and our 2nd amendment gun rights.

Dude! Bad form. give it a rest

Will you turnips knock it off. There is a time and place for this and this is not the time nor place! [emoji35] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Shit, if I can make it ill only be there for an Hour or two in the morning. I need to shoot someone's shockwave!

Damn, didn't see this one. I turned a 6x8 utility closet in my parent's basement into a "boy cave" when I was 10. I wired a light switch, light socket and an outlet for my radio and tapped into a phone line It was my first solo wiring project. I didn't get electrocuted but I did stab myself in the hand with a tack when I was hanging a poster of Farrah Fawcett though. That really hurt bad.

Can’t live life in fear like that. You risk being killed each time you get behind the wheel. Do you ever eat when you are alone - you could choke to death. You could be out walking and trip and knock yourself out as you fall into a puddle and drown. I️ feel much safer out alone shooting at the range than with lots of dangerous newbies around me at a public range.

I'm second guessing my plan to replace all my outlets by myself tomorrow. I have minimal knowledge of electricity. Maybe I should go to the range instead....

Well that is one way to do things, but it sounds a little too cautious. I️ go swimming in my pool alone, and shit can happen. I️ do electrical work at home as well when no one is home as well. All of these things have risk just like a Gun, but you have to live your life.

sonofabiach!! now i feel like an incredible dumbass, lolololol

Looking to purchase night sights for my G19. Its my "night stand" handgun and the XD big dots on there are both inaccurate due to the rear falling off (have to get it re-set and re-sighted in) and the fact that its a lollipop, with a giant dot.. not a big fan... I seem to do much better with 3 point sights like on my 1911... So, whats the best out there within reasonable price? OEM Glock? Trijicon? let me know what you think. Links/Pics a plus. A good place in Central NJ to have them professionally installed and zero-d/bore sighted/however they do handguns would be fantastic as well; maybe somewhere that sells them and has free installations (Like dicks sporting goods does with bow accessories and rifle sights). That'd be cool. I'm in East Brunswick, so the closer the better. I Work in Newark almost daily so around there would be fine as well. Thanks :D! PS: Wasn't sure if to post this with accessories or here. If needed, please move to the appropriate location.

When you go to Range with friends. And shoot all of their handguns better than your own.. Beatiful sig 229 elite stainless with rich mahogany...... paperweight even better with..... a glock.

That does in fact suck. We had a run in or two, but no issues after that. The guy seemed to have a past like Earnest Hemmingway or Teddy Roosevelt.... fame excluded. RIP.

sadly i was serious. only excuse i got is i was cooked from doing an alignment of a viper......with a alignment computer that was being stubborn.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/05/hero-neighbor-got-his-rifle-shot-at-texas-church-gunman.html Hate to think if this happened in NJ. Guess they both would be facing multiple charges. Amazing how two states can be so different. Texas AG is calling for more CCW permit holders. While in NJ they are screaming for more gun control.

It's just "freedom" - type in the pw. Everyone's allowed

I have the CZ75 sp01 and just installed a few upgrades last night. cz85 combat trigger CGW reduced power trigger return spring CGW stainless steel guide rod CGW 13# Recoil spring Houge extreme aluminum checkered grips in clear aluminum polished a few parts as well. It was a bit of a bear to change the trigger out but YouTube got me though it. Taking it to the range tonight to try out the upgrades but I can tell the trigger overtravel screw is a nice addition and the shape of the 85c trigger is a little flatter and a little shorter then the stock trigger. It feels more comfortable dry firing it. We’ll see how the recoil spring works out. I got the tuner’s set so I have different weights if I don’t like the 13 but most folks seem to think 13 or 14 are a good place for a factory ammo gun to be at. Excuse my mousepad, I've had it for like 10 years now and it's been though a lot ... I think the SP01 looks good with the contrast of the stainless trigger and guide rod along with the clear aluminum grips on the dark black coating of the gun. Not sure what CZ uses but it is a nice coating... -Jim

because he was smart.

No problem my friend

Zeke, If you get a Glock, can I try it out? Perhaps I could stand to broaden my horizons!

Now, this I agree with. Our in ground pool had lights. They went out/bad/malfunctioned, whatever. Never gave trying to fix them a second thought. Scary shit there. They attracted biting flies at night anyway. pool lights are stupid.

I️ agree bad idea to do swimming and electrical work at the same time, does not even matter if you have a friend close by

I bought a Sig p220 stainless elite. Loved everything about it, especially the mahogany grips. Couldn't shoot it worth a damn. Ended up selling it. Found a p220 West German made in 1990. Fantastic! .... go figure I think the stainless elite is just too heavy.

shameless plug. Sorry. Haha

If you were there at 8 and found the gate closed and didn't stick around, it's your own damn fault. And you missed a good match. When I arrived at 8:15 to lock the gate open for the match participants, there already was one vehicle waiting for me. Sign-in started at 9 with the first shot being fired at exactly 10AM per Winslow Twp Ordinances. We had 18 shooters today (a light turnout because today was the last 3x600 prone match at Bridgeville DE, so none of the usual Delaware crew was there) 7 slung up and 11 on front rests or bipods. Top dog today was Geoff Gentile who put up an impressive 598 with Bill Gross right on his tail at 597, both slung up! Next match date is Sun December 3 If you get there early, cool your jets and wait for me to open the gate. Regular member gate cards won't open the gate until 15 minutes before shooting is allowed (10AM Sunday and National Holidays, 9AM every other day). Only RSO and Administrative cards open the gate earlier than that.

If you need help, I'm here.

No, @alec.mc had it right. Colt guns are not as good as Rugers or S&Ws.

Colt does not belong anywhere near Taurus. Colt Smith & Wesson Dan Wesson Ruger ....than maybe Taurus

Search this forum for Troy uppers available from Primary Arms. The are far and away the best value for an upper out there. High quality at a low price. You can typically find them for around $450-$500. If you sourced the parts you are over $1000 to assemble yourself. I have 2 of them and have talked at least a dozen others into them. They have all run with out issue. Another option is the LaRue deal that currently going on (it may have needed). Under $1000 for everything you need to build a rifle except the lower receiver. It comes with a LPK, stock, complete upper, receiver extension, action spring, and buffer. It’s all LaRue parts so it’s very high quality.

i shoot stafford WMA once in while never any issue's. It does get bit crowded some times you may have to wait.

Thanks Gents. I was there at 8am and the early bird got no worm.

I really enjoy (1) taking new shooters to the range and (2) shooting alone. I don't enjoy shooting with others (except for new shooters) quite as much. I've had fun a hundred times shooting with others but there are lots of times that I'm in the mood to go it alone. Taking someone, especially a new shooter, to the range is fun. The first time is always exciting and I like to be part of that. I have never taken anyone shooting for their first time who didn't leave with a big stupid grin. That's fun. But, spending time breaking clays or punching paper when I can relax, take my time, nobody else is chatting with me, I don't have to take turns, I don't have to explain anything - that's a lot of fun too.

Damn. I was afraid of this when he was offline for so long. RIP bro

Tell someone when you are going and approximately when.you will be done. Text them to let them know your are done, safe and leaving AFTER fully unloading firearms and putting them away. Enjoy.

Interesting topic. I've never actually shot by myself, per say. I've gone alone a bunch of times due to lack of friends but there was either an R.O. or other shooters. Now that I think about it, I would probably not do it. As an electrician, I've always worked with a partner. If something bad happens, my partner can call 911or whatever is needed. I can't call 911 if I'm passed out or dying.

One thing I need to add to my range bag is a trauma based first aid kit. Tourniquet, quick clot, compression bandages. Peel, your prolly safest alone. It’s everyone else that can be a problem.

He joined me for a stogie cigar international a while back. Good guy with a bit of flair. Walked in open carrying a big ass chrome wheel gun. Told me the chicks at the super market love it lol. RIP Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Well, at least we can all be comforted in the knowledge that your conscience is no longer tortured over that decision. Condolences to his friends and family, wherever they may be.

I'm in! Hmmm... I might bring some guests this time too. Let me wait though...and first see how many people are signing up. If the headcount is low, I'll get additional folks there. For now, sign me up as "1".

@GRIZ, the flames shooting out the sides of the cylinder were blinding. I sent it back to Ruger and they replaced EVERYTHING except the frame and grips. New cylinder, cylinder crane, forcing cone, and a few other parts. Shoots fine now, although I've only shot 100 rounds after her major surgery. Great post by the way.

Flame cutting is when the flame or pressure or hot gases released in the barrel/cylinder gap in a revolver actually cut a groove in the top strap. It produces a fine line, actually cuts into the top strap right over the barrel/cylinder gap. Early 1900s Colts had a dimple cut into the top strap to alleviate this. This does nothing to alleviate it IMO. It just conceals the issue and the top strap comes from the factory weaker at that point. There are alloy frame revolvers that have a steel shield in the top strap where flame cutting would occur. More on that later. It is most common with magnum (357,41, and 44) and all those super magnums out there (454, 480, 500). Now I'm not that familiar with those super magnums. Flame cutting is very common on S&W K frame 357s. It usually reaches a point and stops. Every S&W K frame 357 that has shot some magnums has it that I've ever seen. Most Colts, including Pythons have it. I have never seen it on a Taurus. The only Ruger I've seen it on was a Blackhawk in 357 Maximum. Never on any other frame style or caliber Ruger. Not saying it doesn't happen just saying I've never seen it. I've seen a lot of revolvers in my time. When a revolver "kabooms" usually the cylinder blows up then the front (barrel end) of the top strap. It seems to me anything that weakens the top strap, even if it only goes so far, is not a good idea. The tighter the barrel/cylinder gap the more pronounced it gets. Like I said it usually reaches a point and stops. I had a "pinned and recessed" (I think people make too much of that) Smith Model 19 I bought new in 1974 and used mostly for PPC competition and shot mostly wadcutters. I did put less than 1000 magnums through it and the flame cutting looked like someone had run a hacksaw through the barrel/cylinder gap. You could see the flame cutting looking at the side of the top strap. That's after about 5 or 6 years. No lifetime warranty then. I got rid of it. While it's kind of an accepted thing with 357s my attitude is its avoidable with proper design. I don't mean just putting extra steel there. Alloy frame revolvers? I said I'd get back to them. As I said I've seen that extra piece if steel that's supposed to prevent or minimize flame cutting with +P 38s. I've also seen people get alloy Smith J frames converted to 9mm parabellum. A friend has a steel J frame Smith that came from the factory as a 9mm. Looks and runs fine. However converting an alloy frame designed for 20,000 psi (38 spl) to take a 35,000 psi (9mm) cartridge seems like not too good an idea in my book. People who've had this done say the gun runs fine. I'd like them to let me know how the gun is running after 8-10,000 rounds like my 70s vintage Model 60 that has had zero parts replaced and timing is fine. That's at least 250 rds a year of +P for qualification for 30 years plus a few thousand more. No flame cutting either. I don't carry +P in a J frame anymore. I carry factory wadcutters. Once you've put an entry and exit hole in the target any extra power just wasted energy and goes downrange. You can put that entry and exit in a target with a wadcutter. I realize I more than answered your question but as a truly great man told me once "knowledge is not power". The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Hope this helps.

Oh, I like

Yes, first felt unnatural but I used to it after 50 rounds or so Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

OK people, I have installed a new set of sights: Checked with caliper, distance from the slide side +/- 0.006 on the rear. Hope it's negligible. Can't wait to check them on the range.
