Learned 10 things tonight. 1. I am not the tallest guy around, thanks @GramGun79 2. @Purple Patrick refuses to put a matching outfit together 3. @GRIZis even cooler in person than he is on this forum 4. @cabalrayz has dope guns. 5. Nagant revolers suck, but the 41 Magnum is cool. Thanks Igor 6. @diamondd817 has probably the dopest name around 7. @67gtonut doesn't have a Sig, but wears a Sig hat AND doesn't have a 1967 GTO. 8. @Mrs.Zeke is cool, her husband? Not so much 9. A 5000 1911 shoots like a 5000 dollar 1911, thanks @AVB-AMG 10. @Krdshrk has horrible taste in guns and cars, except his M9A3. 11. RTSP is a great range.

Wow..... Thank you to everyone who attended.... 20 Pre Registered 13 Walk-In's Everyone was great. Thank you to Rosie and the CNJFO for ALL that food..... Thank you to the RTSP Staff..... Dan, Mike, and Marty were awesome. Thank you to Nick and Ms.Peel for all your help What a success.....

Well I certainly think that the inaugural NJGF Gun Fest at RTSP was a real success! Special thanks to @67gtonut and RTSP and to all of his efforts to turn our incessant online requests into reality and organizing a really fun evening for all of us. Also a shout out to @Smokin .50 and CNJFO for providing the food and clothing sale, (I bought a tee shirt). I will echo what others have already indicated that these type of get-togethers help us all, not only associate faces with screen names, but more importantly, introduces the actual real person behind those names to each other, while enjoying our collective shared interest in firearms. I met and spoke with a number of folks last night, learning things about them, including other interests, that I found fascinating, as well as shot some amazing hand guns that I have never shot before. I was especially appreciative of how everyone was most generous, if not eager, to tell each other about their respective guns, including when and where they got them, their history, what makes them special to them and ultimately, to share the actual experience of what it is like to shoot them. (That Desert Eagle is a real powerful and loud cannon with a staggering percussion effect and was a scary thrill to shoot....). @Zeke & @Mrs.Zeke: Thanks for letting me try your cool collection of hand guns and being Port neighbors. Same goes to @GRIZ: If you are serious, I would very much enjoy getting some knowledgeable instruction from you to learn the proper techniques on how to become more consistently accurate when shooting a revolver. About a year ago I looked at and held in my hand, but never shot, a Korth Sport 6” 357 Magnum revolver and was very impressed with the high quality of its fit and finish. It would be nice, but damn, this hobby/sport can become pretty darn expensive..... I am glad many of you had a chance to shoot my Wilson Combat Tactical Supergrade 1911, .45 ACP. It has been sitting in my safe for too long and needed the “exercise”. Shooting it reminding me why it is such as special hand gun, compared to all my others. I know I am not alone to say that I am looking forward to the next NJGF Gun Fest and Shotgun Shootout with all of you. AVB-AMG

It was great to meet everyone, and to see those of you who I already had the pleasure of meeting at the shotgun shoots or rallys. The numerous offers to try various guns were extremely generous, and I appreciate all of them. And as has been said, if I DID try them, I would have a list about 4 times longer than the already massive excel list of guns I want. Thank you everyone who had a hand in organizing or helping out, and for all the food. I'm sorry I did not get a chance to say bye to everyone. Hope everyone made it home safe. Events like this are great, I really have enjoyed putting faces to names and the greater sense of community. I am looking forward to the next event, and hope to see you guys again, and meet more new people. Pictures should be up in a day or two, depending on work.

Great time putting faces to screen names. @Ray Ray good to finally meet you. You are everything I expected you to be. I would like to adopt you as my nephew as I've adopted @Zeke but I know you'd be better behaved!!!! @AVB-AMG you have the offer of my revolver school!!! You'll probably wind up buying a Korth to keep company with your 1911!!!! @Purple Patrick your camo pants might become outlawed for hunting as they would totally confuse deer!!! Speaking of pants I remembered to wear mine. You forget that stuff when you're as old as me.

Excellent time! Nice meeting everyone, good people, good food, lots of bad ass guns. The “guns to have list just” keeps getting longer Thank you to every one that helped make this event possible. Looking forward to the next one. Hey, maybe we could get NJGF T shirts for next time

Thanks to RTSP and Troy for getting this put together, looking forward to next time

What grade are you in?

Had a great time last night. Thanks to everyone who let my daughter and I try out your very cool guns. The wish list got longer. Thanks again to Rosie and CNJFO for providing all of that food. Damjan, your welcome re: the pies. They were from Wemrock Orchards in Freehold. Next time I’ll try to get a few from Battleground Orchards. A little better stuff there but its always a circus on the weekends. It was good to meet a lot of you all. I’ll have to make more time at the next meet up...to actually meet up more. @67gtonut, thanks for putting this together. Excellent job. Looking forward to the next one.

Still can't decide to get a FPID since you asked about this in May and June? Do us all a favor and pick a different hobby. Sent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk

Great to meet some of you guys. Thank you to everyone who let me play with their toys, i had a blast! Thank you to everyone that had a hand in setting this up.

Hey I can have more than one nephew!!!

Had a blast .. was nice to meet everyone and put faces to screen names. And I agree with @Mrs.Zeke... the "buy list" just got larger. Thanks to everyone who put this together.

It was great to see everyone since i ve been out of the forum for a few years as i m now in PA most of the time. Looking forward to the next meetup. Many thanks to RTSP and Troy for putting this together and hosting. @Nick....As always you are our Super mod and NJGF Ambassador!!!! @CNJFO .....Thank you for the food and support. @Purple Patrick.....The camo pants were really PURPLE ha ha......Good Luck in your post Henry Rifle life! @Ray Ray........See you at Clinton....Yes...Nagant Revolvers are a useless piece of shit as you know first hand now...but the SW 57 41 Mag is cool....Its my favorite gun. @ABV-AMG.....Sweet Wilson Combat......Shooting it was like listening to the Vienna Philharmonic play on the Blue Danube on New Year`s Eve. To whoever brought the pie...Freehold,NJ shop on the box.......THANK YOU......Pie is a cult food at NJGF since the founding.

Glad everything went smoothly. Thanks Troy & Nick for doing the heavy lifting. Proud to support the group. Hope to shoot with all of you soon. Take care! Rosey, VP CNJFO http://www.cnjfo.com

Great time...looking forward to the next one.

Cough, @GRIZ your new favorite nephew is attending...

Those kind of events have something for everyone. You want to shoot a certain gun? It would probably be there. You want to learn something? There are plenty of people who would love to spill their brains. Take, for example, the Sig P365. I wanted to shoot it to see how it feels. It feels great and is definitely a game changer.

18yoa Johnny could buy a Tac-14 from 35yoa Jimmy. He can't acquire one now because an FFL can't run NICS for "other" on an 18yoa person. Sent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk

count me in.

There is no wheelchair access, SNEEZE.

SHhhhhhhhhhh (accidental bump fire)

I wish i would have been able to come.. Who shot the ceiling?

Here is another. Sorry I don’t know what his handle is to tag him. @Ray Ray Help me out man Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Big bus or widdle bus?

You should see him in heels!

I would talk this over with your mental health professional. If they are going to be contacted you might want to know what they will recommend before bothering.

Read your question again. You need to get off those meds and get your life in order before you ever consider owning a gun. That should be your first priority. Have you talked about this with your family?

Wtf! Uncle!

Good times!

I quit 2 packs of newport's a day about 9 years ago. I used the gum and patch at the same time. First I weened my self off the patch then the gum. Much easier than when I quit cold Turkey a few years before. Also I was told that the physical addiction to nicotine only last 21 days then it's out of your system after that it's just a mental addiction. Don't know if that's true but it helped me. I kept telling my self it's just mental and it's all in my head. I also ate a ton of wintergreen tic tacs. I still eat them like crazy today but they are way better for me than cigarettes. Since pretty much all of my coworkers smoke I'm around it all the time and sometimes I still want one but I'll never have one again because I can't just have one.

NOT ME, BUT THE GCA. House Resolution 17735, known as the Gun Control Act, was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 22, 1968 banning mail order sales of rifles and shotguns and prohibiting most felons, drug users and people found mentally incompetent from buying guns. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. Sent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk

Assholes are like excuses, everyone has one....... Wait... that's not right... Excuses are like elbows, everyone has them.... Whatever.... I'm not even going to the event, but at least I set the bar low and didn't drop out at the last minute.

There’s more to this. There are many types of customers in Nj. 1. Those to will come to the shop spend an hour finger fucking every gun then at the end asks about transfer fees. 2. Those who never come in and just call telling you they are ordering something online for transfer and pick up ad soon as it arrives then want you to show them how to break the gun down and maintain it. 3 those who order a gun online without calling then expecting you to hold it for 6 months while they get permits 4 those who order online and also shop locally. They mix it up. And so on . All this is part of the transfer fee “profit”

Welcome and just happens to be a byproduct are 2 separate things. Most of dealers dont even want to do transfers which is why they have higher rates. For others the increase in transfers for FTF is more of a pita then anything. considering 2 people will enter and sit while doing paperwork while we can be doing other things. It to mention the increase in nics waits etc etc. With this new Boom in business I’m surprised more people here are not quitting their jobs and getting FFL’s Instead of pointing fingers at FFL’s why don’t you guys petition the state to offer the FTF transfers at the local pd or njsp barracks for the nics fee only. At least FFL’s would not be the ones people are pointing fingers at.

$25.00 transfer is a Loss leader

These laws were not written to "help dealers"! They were written by idiots who think they are closing a loophole and get NICS done on every transfers; and the fact that the additional NICS charges and the tax charged by the dealers goes to the state doesn't hurt them (State) either.........

Best part of this is the word “profiting” Live in the shoes of the average ffl in Nj and let me know how u like it

What loss leaders do you offer in your business? What is your labor worth on an hourly basis? All those who want to place blame on the FFL’s are the same folks that have stated for a few years they will not buy anything from a local store in Nj and will travel to PA for long gun purchases / transfers. I would like a list of the business’s members of this thread own as I would like to demand products and services at cost. It’s the right thing to do since I am over taxed in this state. You should stand by the people of NJ.

Yeah I usually used #6 for pheasent but guys up here usually use #7.5-#9 shot for grouse and woodcock si u went with #8 and that dropped them like a rock. I was using my Winchester 101 12g. I definatly would like a gun with a shorter barrel. It's hard to swing a 28" gun in the heavy cover we were finding the birds in. The first day we had over a dozen flushes and only got 2 birds because it's really hard to get a clean shot off.

@gleninjersey: Another good book in the same genre is “Lights Out”, by Ted Koppel, is a well-researched question about an important topic concerning the current vulnerability of the electrical power grid in the US, followed by a number of possible "what if" scenarios. For me, it is a very sobering wakeup call on what we should and can do individually, as a family, as a state/region and maybe most importantly, as a country, to prevent what could become a real catastrophic disaster. AVB-AMG - Lights Out: A Cyberattack, a Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath by Ted Koppel https://www.amazon.com/Lights-Out-Cyberattack-Unprepared-Surviving/dp/0553419986/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479531630&sr=8-3&keywords=Lights+out

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.

If you get serious about shooting precision you will start reloading. If you start Reloading you won’t be shooting 5.56. It will be 223. I have not seen very many recipes for 5.56 ammo. The differences between the two, are essentially the 5.56 is higher pressure. I believe there is a slight difference in the shoulder dimension on the case that would be difficult to see with the naked eye. The 5.56 chamber has a different angle or leade, at the start of the rifling. That’s about it. I don’t know any precision shooters using 5.56.
