Merry Christmas to all here on NJGF! It is a joyous time!

So I went back to Cabelas this morning and I took the breech plug with me. For as many employees that work the firearms and hunting equipment department at Cabelas in Delaware, I surprised at how many quickly confessed they knew nothing about muzzleloaders. They all kept passing me off to another employee, but each would refer to "Bob." Supposedly Bob was the only one in the store with the knowledge to tell me what size cap fit the nipple in my breech plug and I was on a quest to find him. Eventually I found him (he didn't have his earplug in, so nobody could reach him on the walkie-talkie). He looked at the plug and without asking any questions, he said with the utmost confidence, "This is from a rifle. Rifles use #11 caps and pistols use #10 caps." I bought #11s, checked out and went out to my truck. I remembered USRifle30Cal said musket cap was its own size so I figured I better check it out before crossing the bridge again. I opened the package without damaging it and took a cap out. It was way too small for the nipple. I took it back in and exchanged it for musket caps and those are what fits. The only replacement breech plugs they had were for the Thompson/Center rifles. They didn't have any for the CVAs so I couldn't get one that uses a 209 primer (gotta order it online if I want to get one). I got some Pyrodex Hodgdon RS Select powder, a powder horn and a measure to be able to use powder instead of pellets. I'll be hitting the range to sight it in tomorrow morning. I got a couple weeks off so I should be able to get some time in the woods this ML season. Thanks for the help guys!

There is a custom market for every gun in existence. The fact that there are so many Glocks out there coupled with the fact that they are basically “plug and play” with their parts requiring little to no fitting for individual guns make them the perfect base for customization. I like 147gr for 9mm. Duty ammo is Federal HST 147gr.

I love how Glock perfection = massive customization..but seriosuly... I pick up a G19 in the next couple of weeks .... I usually shoot 45acp and am wondering what 9mm ammo do local LEO's like and why

thanks! wish we had a local spot.. tons more

I used DP Customs last time. They are in North Carolina. 20% off for LEO. I got their EDC package (front serrations marching the back, and lightening cuts in the side) plus RMR cut and Refinished in black nitride, was less that $200. They did stellar work!

This is the way.

the cost over time in years, recoil, ect.. better 9mm options for duty in recent years. You know all the stuff people argue about in the caliber wars! lol but mostly money and shooter felt recoil.

I can't speak for why they changed, but the FBI and others departments have pretty much all said the same thing. 9mm -Less felt recoil -Larger ammo capacity, specially important when you consider that something like 70% of all ammo that LEOs shoot are misses -New 9mm Ammo that performs just as well or better than .40cal and even some .45 caliber ammo. -In general, 9mm is also a bit less expensive. The above all means that you have more effective shooters that are in the game longer.

Don’t sell your .40 Glocks. Get yourself some KKM 40-9 conversion barrels and mags - that is all you need. I have converted 3 Glocks since I switched my agency to 9mm. My G23 and two G35s with conversion barrels all shoot better than my G19 and G34 They have been boringly reliable and stupidly accurate with the new barrels. My converted G23 has over 2k rounds without a hiccup. Plus, for about 1/3 the price of a new Glock you will have a gun that can shoot multiple calibers - so you can still shoot all that .40 you have and all the 9mm your going to get. Win-win! You won’t be disappointed.

There will always be buyers if the price is right. However, what is right to you vs what is right to the buyer will likely be different numbers. Sellers seem to want 99% of new value, while buyers want to get it for 1%. Do some research and see if real world selling prices are what you can live with. Then remember in NJ there will be at least a $30-50 transfer fee, and lack of mags will decrease value some. Things like holsters may not have much value (though if switching to 9mm glocks, a 22 holster should fit a 17, 23 a 19, etc, though not sure on generational changes) You might be able to sell standard cap mags on gunbroker if you cant find LE buyer in NJ There is a market, ammo will probably be easiest to sell, but you sound like youve got the right ideas.

No ones called me that since elementary school! And it was Ronnie! Anyway, everything i am reading is that the 40 cal. magazines will work fine; especially if they have little use (or zero previous use like mine). Also the .40 extractor works fine, just the brass flings a little on the wild side.. same deal with the .357 sig conversion barrrel. I like the idea of 1 gun and 3 barrel choices. Really makes the Glock 22 gen 4 a good buy decision since they are cheap to come by as .40 popularity fades away now that 9mm+P has taken its place. Ron

That email was from me. =) Not Phishing. (besides I already have your emails. )

..... in for the win ! .....remember you really get one shot...make it accurate....make it ethical...put some food on the table and always treat your prey with the utmost respect.... and honor its life to extend yours...... Keep us updated !

It always makes me happy to see Berettas on display. Here's 2 out of my collection. Beretta Model 948, c.1958. Beretta Model 1935, c.1950.

I never heard of a case where someone was busted for carrying their handguns and ammo in a single range bag in different compartments or for that matter, the same compartment! I realize that none of us want to be the test case but I refuse to be paranoid and give into them.....I use one range bag for guns and ammo and I will not allow Gov. beaver face to live in my head rent free! Enough with the paranoia!

I got this email and don’t know if it’s phishing or not.
