Bomber, you are doing the right thing! Keep sounding the alarm anytime you see these thieves and they ARE thieves. GB will not take their ads down even when you report them and at least one or two innocent people get robbed by these thieves. A deal that is too good to be true usually is not true, new sellers with no feed back should be handled carefully. I asked one to take the gun to a local FFL which he did and we handled the transaction via the FFL. Choose an FFL with a web site and business location. If a new seller won't do that walk away! There is an old saying "all that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing". You stay on track brother! You are doing the right thing!

How about your standard capacity 30rd mags? Still got them? Your 15rd mags? This is the thinking that gets us to where we are today.

Sure buy an item at a licensed dealer for an inflated price due to the “unprecedented times” (bullshit excuse to price gouge) ... then the brown shirts say surrender your legally purchased property or your going to be arrested.... f$&@ them ... sell it out of state through an ffl have the transfer paper where the ffl took possession and tell them to eat a 55gal bag of di@$&!

Lesson in this: Never take legal advice from your LGS (or LEO's for that matter). JHP's are perfectly legal for HD in NJ. Just be sure to transport them directly from home to the range and back (like handguns).

Agree with @JC_68Westy. I will add another perspective. +P ammunition has been made by the major manufacturers since the 1970s. Super Vel was making +P back in the 60s. Using +P will accelerate wear on a gun even if its +P rated. On the other hand I know people who have shot 1000s of rounds of +P through guns not rated for it and have had no problem. +P will give you more muzzle blast, recoil, and therefore reduced controllability in a small frame gun. Along with accelerated wear. For that you get MAYBE 50-100 fps more. For a long time I've used a target velocity148 gr hollowbase wadcutter as a defensive load in small frame 38s. It has several advantages: 1. The bullet is already in an efficient shape. A hollowpoint has to expand a bit until it gets in the shape the wadcutter starts out as. 2. Adequate penetration. The hollow base design goes a long way toward keeping the bullet from tumbling in the target. That's how it gets good penetration even though it's starting out at only 700-725 fps from the muzzle with a 2" barrel. Gets about 14" of penetration in ballistic gel which is adequate. 3. It is easy on you and your gun. Low recoil and muzzle blast help controllability you need for subsequent shots. FWIW Jim Cirillo who had been in more gunfights than most people was always on a quest for a better bullet. Most of his designs looked like...a wadcutter. I use +P in k frame or larger 38s and +P+ in 357 magnums. If I want more power I'll go to a bigger gun. I see no sense in +P in semiautomatic calibers. Semiautomatics are designed to operate in a certain pressure range. I've seen tests, conducted by the manufacturers, which show their +P version of the same bullet going 50-100 fps more gave little more penetration or expansion, if any, than their standard pressure ammo. Food for thought.

I zeroed the Huey yesterday - easily making hits on 6" steel at 60+ yards. I'm happy with it.

Some of you people are unbelievable. GB has removed the seller as a registered user meaning it was probably fraudulent. I likely saved several buyers from getting swindled out of a few thousand dollars (I was almost one of them) and I get told to mind my own business. Gunbroker doesn't have the buyer protections in place Ebay has. Sellers can request money order only as payment. Had the buyers mailed off their $600+ MO's they would have got ripped off as "15636215" was. His listings were word for word lifted from previous completed sales right down to the description regarding condition and modifications with no mention that the photos were not of the actual item for sale. The low "Buy it Now" price was part of the bait, along with some suspicious bidders.
