Great looking single stack... I love my SVI and worth every penny I paid for it... used. New, they are quite expensive but worth the quality... and the one year + wait. What grips are those?

It is really trying to pick apart the argument. We know the intent of the law, and we know the interpretation of the law. I guarantee, it will not stop someone from getting arrested and charged. Yes, that is an argument for the court... but will do nothing to stop it. Once again though, I doubt anyone will get in trouble just over that.... and you likely did something else wrong.

Small businesses are still exempt from collecting. Shop small. Or get a delware or NH residence. =)

Not sure, but I did handle some older Smith's and they are nice guns. Really nice gun, and my Smith model 57 has a FANTASTIC trigger. At the same time, I just picked up a Diamondback that has as nice if not better. Colts may not be superior per say, but... as a used gun, they are extremely collectible and will hold value far better. EVEN if colt comes out with new revolvers. When Colt came out with the new Pythons, the price on the older ones went even higher. Perhaps I should of made it clearer... colts for me, may not be the better gun in terms of shooting, but overall, as a collectible, eye candy, fit and finish, history, it is by far the better overall equation. Put it this way, If you ran across two guns, say a Colt Python for $1,000 or a Smith 686 for $750.... it is an easy choice. =) Btw, I still do have a 686-5 that will be my shooter, and I don't feel bad shooting it. Colts are for collecting, and I just can't get enough. Will post pics tomorrow. =)

HEHE. yes... 41 magnum is hard to find locally, If you reload, not an issue. If you buy ammo online, not a problem. 41 Mag was a recommendation specifically for power in between 44 mag and 357. You also have a lot less revolvers in 41 mag. As far as pythons.... fit and finish, especially blued, they are the nicest revolvers I have seen and shot. Double Action is ok, single Action... sweet. End of the day, for resale, for collectibles, Colt revolvers have a ton of history, and a strong , cult like following. You will NOT lose money on a colt. For a revolver that was $1k when it was new, you cannot build as quality of a revolver today, especially since Pythons were hand fitted. If you want a great all around gun you will not be afraid to shoot... get a 686. Are you on a budget? Get a Ruger GP100. A Colt Python, is still a Python., and due to the Python effect, many other colt revolvers are up there in price. If you run across one for a good price.... you get it.

You were already supped to pay state taxes. =) just did not declare them on your taxes, did ya? Best Buy will pricematch Amazon btw.

on an ebook? yikes. I bought one recently, have to check.

Also, the thing to understand... in NJ.... most handguns are not illegal. It is the magazines. On the rifles, yes, rifles have a banned list, and evil feature list. Vendors can take care of the evil features, but not if the item is specifically banned. HOWEVER.... most handguns in NJ, as long as they comply, ie under the weight limit, etc, are for the most part all legal. The thing that would get you in trouble are the magazines. Ie... look at Smith Wesson M&P 9. The gun was designed for 17 rounds. For the ban states, they came out with 10 round magazines. For NJ, they came out with factory 15 round magazines. An M&P 9 was never illegal because of the 17 round mags.... it was the 17 round mags that were. I suggest you review the gun law summary in the blogs section.

We will usually say pinned, however the legal term is, are the magazines permanently modified? Some vendors do a good job, other stores do not. Your best option is to just find out from the vendor, or fill out a gun price request.

Dan, cleanup in Post 6, Dan... Post 6. Honestly, a lot of boneheaded moves are done by the "experienced" shooters as they do with new people. Most new people I have met, are fairly careful. It is once they learn enough, they get careless. This.... careless. A while ago, I got myself into the habit of inspecting every round that goes into the gun. This started when I started reloading, inspecting once fired brass that I bought again for any abnormalities. I can see confusing 9 for 40.... but 40 for 45?that is a double :facepalm:

Perfect solution. 41 magum. 357 python absolutely. ... but with current pricing, I would be afraid to shoot it. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I dig this. If it is 20 bucks or less I would. Hehe Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

The guy is very lucky. Fired one. Did not feel anything different. Shot a second round. Gun did not blow up. Kudos to Smith Wesson for making a strong enough barrel. WOW.

Just wondering who actually has one? If so, caliber? Generation?

Btw.... This does happen and I know personally of 2 forum members who got visits in the past year.

Atf has no issues giving you c&r, however the state police, as per their memo considers you a dealer and as such you are required to comply as an ffl in nj. People got in trouble over it before. If you have a c&r and not a dealer in nj, I would be worried. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Please use business days. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

You can use your permit up through expiration date. =) It is the date on the permit that matters (sale date). (as long as you are within OGAM)

Was that original glock slide?

Ah, i thought you meant bought the exact same gun you owned, bought it back.... YES! Same models? YES. Israeli Mausers, Mosins, Glock 22, although the Glocks, one is gen 3, another gen 4.

I just talked with an FFL vendor here in chat... and doing the count, it was 7 business days from when submitted to approved.

I don't think this would of played ANY differently, no matter who was there. Supply and Demand. Post Newtown, the volume of nics checks, guns purchased, FID's applied for, increased exponentially. Meanwhile, there is still a hiring freeze I believe for state police. Unlike a private business, they can't just go out there and hire more people. It took some time, but they did hire more people, and the backlog is coming down quickly. As per SP, they were looking to be caught up within the month. The way things are heading, I think they will be. Speaking with my local PD, the number of applications for permits and new FID's is also slowing.
