Millions of American soldiers have been through the same deal, and they have no problem kicking ass, where ass needs to be kicked. Catch as catch can. You got what you felt you NEEDED now, what was available at the time. Sometime in the future, you can get what you want. Both acceptable choices, some may even say excellent. Neither gun is badly made. First choice, a used (yes used) pre-remlin 870 or Wingmaster. Second choice, Mossberg 500. Both can be configured for HD or clay shooting, and switched back and forth with very little work.

What is your ammo inventory look like? I would suggest before spending money on a new (or new to you) shotgun and the ammo for said shotgun, it might benefit you to use those funds to make sure you got enough ammo for your current firearm inventory. You got some good quality firearms, especially the Henry.

Welcome & Pork Roll it is!!

LOL. Most definitely PORK ROLL.

That is the worst thing Inhave ever seen.

I've attached a recent opinion piece from USA Today. I was rather surprised, as they tend to skew a bit left, that they even published this pro-2A piece! Within the piece, the writer refers to a paper recently written by a professor at George Mason University who argues that all of the rioting this summer has been a great argument FOR the 2nd amendment and has really undermined the gun control argument that says: "we don't need a 2A anymore, because now we have modern police forces". He argues - quite compellingly - that theory doesn't hold water when we regularly saw police forces in recent months ordered to stand down, etc., as rioters ran rampant over neighborhoods in multiple U.S. cities. So, I strongly recommend you also click through and download that white paper - it does give an option to download it for free btw. It's about 40 pages but a LOT of that is just footnotes, so it's really only about 20 pages to scan through. WELL WORTH READING!! Gives a nice synopsis of all of the times this summer that citizens were forced to step up and protect their own lives and property as cities abandoned their responsibilities to provide safety and security.

Clay Buster CB1100-12 Wads (WAA12SL equivalent) will work with 1oz and 1 1/8oz loads. Shot-cup capacity reflects nominal depth for a proper crimp over the pellets, and also so that the shot is not bouncing around freely and getting deformed. You don't want to over fill or under fill a cup. Technically, you could use deep 1 1/2oz wads and load it with 1oz with felt or cardboard under the shot. It will act as a filler and bring the shot up to the correct level so that you get a proper crimp. i.e. The crimp wont push into the shell. Federal Gold Medal hull

Welcome. Unfortunately with everything going on this year, FID and Pistol Permit apps have been taking longer than previously. It SHOULD take 30 days, however it's taking more like 90 days with some townships. After the state does their thing (which it seems the background check part was fairly quick), the township will be doing additional checks with multiple agencies - mental health, family court, etc. With the FARS system, you should see an email saying "Application Approved" when it's done, but it's still NOT quite done until the township contacts you. Are you calling the NJSP on this or your local PD? I would check with your local PD website - they may have a contact number and email address. Mine was much better at responding to the emails vs calls.

@Parker thank you for the info. Guess I need to find more wads for 1 1/8 oz loads or new powder to keep using these 1oz wads. QQ - what is FGM target?

I am absolutely going to call them safety bullets from now on.

^^^^^^ THIS the PR war is being lost

We need to stop calling these "hollow point" bullets and start calling them "safety bullets." If someone is doing shooting in your neighborhood, what do you want them shooting? Regular, old fashioned bullets that go through people and walls and hit other people? Or safety bullets that hit something and stop? We have to take over the language like lefties do.

How quickly the squad grows.

Welcome.its porkroll

So I went to the gun store today and purchased a 9 EZ with a manual thumb safety. It felt comfortable and fit perfectly in my hand. At first glance I thought the grip safety might be a problem but after holding the gun I didn't even know it was there. I could rack the slide with two fingers. The stock sights are acceptable but I'm already looking at better sights(HIVIZ). lol As a first time gun owner I wanted something easy to use and not very intimidating to handle. This fits the bill for me. They told me it would be a 4 to 5 day wait for the NICS check due to Covid. I have a second permit so I will be back in a month or two for something else. They did have a Troy A4 in stock that got my attention. What a nice looking rifle. I may go broke if I spend too much time in the gun store.

Got the call today from my local police department my FID card and permits are ready. Picking them up tomorrow. 42 days from start to finish. Not bad considering the pandemic.
