  2. Yes... they do check at bigger matches. Sometimes they just check the function, but others, they notice modifications. Having a completely different trigger, it will be noticed by a competent chrono person.... besides, when you look at 500 different guns... you tend to know. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Edit: Let me be more specific since most folks never shot a bigger match... At a level 2 and up match, there will be a chrono. At a level 3, it is required. So... they will inspect your gun to check out the function of it, and then pull your ammo, weight the bullets, and shoot it over chrono to determine power factor. At our local clubs... we just chrono the round... did not weigh each bullet.

  4. Looking in both... St. Agustine and Palm Coast. PC now has a population of close to 100k people. 5 or 6 gun shops. =) Define "nothing to do" ? The good news is... Orlando is close by. One of my draws trying to expand into the area.... lack of independent advisors.... everyone here is a commissioned broker, and no russian speaking financial professionals except 1 lady accountant. The PC area has anywhere between 5 to 10k russian speakers, and would be plugged into a big existing network. The biggest draw is the business friendly atmosphere. It is working, financial firms are moving in droves from NY and NJ area down to FL. They can do the same business but save close to 15% of their income on taxes alone.

    Try to push the trigger forward of where it resets, as per the threads on the FN forums. Don't recall the others.... Same issue we are talking about? Once trigger pushed forward, it would lock up the slide. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  6. Homeowners insurance bad in south florida. North east it is 800 a year. Gas is 10 cents more expensive. .. 3.65 for regular. Dont know nj prices today. As far as jobs, it depends. If you sell snowblowers, not the place. But every self employed person I spoke with is doing great. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2 Edit: Watch... in two or three years... Texas, Florida, Wyoming, South Dakota will be the places with the most jobs.
  7. The schools are one of the things... however lets be honest... schooling and education starts at home. Plenty of good private schools popping up here too. Here is a scenario.... with more and more people, especially IT people being able to work from home... effectively from anywhere.... unless you physically have to be in NJ or wherever... nothing stopping people from living anywhere they want, and earning a great wage.

  8. I am in the St. Agustine area right now. It turns out a friend of mine I went to school with, moved down here with her Husband from NY a few years ago and is extremely happy. I would say traditionally, yes, less jobs down here... but the recently influx of "fed up with..." crowd is getting bigger. There are more residents down here, and businesses are popping up left and right. Granted, the salaries are lower... however cost of living is significantly cheaper. If someone missed my post on FB, a 3,200 Sf home, in a private gated community, across street from intercoastal, facing a lake.... $250k and expensive $3,500 a year in property taxes. If not for gated community, taxes would be $2k or less. For business owners, a shit ton of opportunity. For high paying jobs? Who knows... however crunching numbers... moving for an average family from NJ to FL will save around $25,000 a year..... 1. Property taxes significantly cheaper. 2. No State Income taxes 3. Cheaper other stuff... even going out to eat at a restaurant, etc. While we are not ready to ditch NJ yet.... am 90% certain of buying a vacation place here that we can just move to if things get too bad. However the theme is certain... a lot of people coming down here... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Shane... I played with the new guns at Shot Show and could not replicate the problem any more. None of the team FN shooters I spoke with had issues with it either. and these guys shoot more rounds down range with these guns than anyone else. Will ask Dave Sevigny again though.

  10. Sitting at starbucks with a laptop that has plenty of gun stickers on it, and having people give you the thumbs up and come up and start gun convos...... awesome. So wrapping up my quick extended weekend in Florida. Came down to shoot the USPSA Florida Open, my first match since Nationals last november. Finished 8th out of 26th in Lim 10.... will take it. Met with a few clients, and met with Realtor to look at properties down here, to own as vacation rental, and or to move down here depending on how many assinine laws pass in NJ. Perfect weather, gun friendly, conservative culture, and a local legislature that is complete opposite of NJ. State legislature is about 70% Republicans in both houses. Ironically, Realtor's husband is just getting into guns, he applied for Florida CCW... get this... over 6 months wait to apply for in person, and over a year if you do it by mail now. Not only Florida residents, but seems as everyone in the nation is trying to get the Florida CCW. As much as I am all for fighting for our rights... we are soooooo down the rabbit hole. Property taxes highest in nation and will only go up next year. Second highest or so Sales Tax, Personal state income taxes, legislation and political red tape up the wazzoo. Real Estate here is booming with out of state buyers. Funny how I met at least 4 Floridians who moved down here from NJ.... and not ONE regrets it. Damn shame I did not realize it sooner. Definition of Insanity..... doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Both are good guns but also different. PPQ is a striker fired gun. P30 is a Hammer DA/SA Build quality... HK by far. The P30, I love the L long slide models are fantastic. Uber reliable.... and by that I mean thousands upon thousands of rounds. The trigger does need work, the Pre-travel in Single Action is horribly long and the reset can use a tad bit of work. (although unless you are a 1911 fanboy..... this will mean absolutely nothing to you) The PPQ.... is a nice Glock Alternative, however I must say, the short reset thing is a pile of marketing crap. FN FNS, Caracals and ANY 1911 will have a nicer shorter reset. Secondly... it is a strike fired gun. Now keep in mind, there are two versions, PPQ 1 and PPQ2. PPQ1 was the first to come out and had the traditional Walther/HK mag release. For the new one... they went with a regular mag release, which I feel is a bit too big, and protrudes out a tad much. Because of this... the Magazines ARE NOT interchangeable, and as such, the market for them will be limited. I believe holsters and all are different too. Have to go through my Walther Media notes from shot show. Btw, the whole high bore axis thing... bunch of malarkey. =), practically speaking, 95% of the shooters will not notice a bit of a difference, and for Team HK, it matters not. Its the shooter not the gun. JJ Racaza placed top 5 at USPSA nationals with a STOCK Caracal with only modification being a fiber optic sight. Team HK for the first few years shot stock P30's and USP Experts. HK P30L for the win.... if you want something striker fired like the Walther, Also consider: FN FNS (now will be out with a long slide), American Made, and will have a lot of after market support, cheaper mags typically, nice trigger and great ergonomics. Caracal F - Take the PPQ and make it better all around.... Low bore axis, even better stock trigger out of the box. Only problem for some may be that it is made in the Middle East in the UAE. Glock 17 - yes yes, I went there. cheap accessories and everything galore. They support the shooting community, and opened up a US factory to produce glocks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  12. Unfortunately, This will pass. with a 60/40 dem majority, it ain't happening otherwise. Christie is the only one who can stop these bills with a stroke of the pen, or the lack there of. If he does veto.... the Dem's do not have a 2/3 super majority, and this will die. It all comes down to Christie. From this point forward, besides the barrage of calls/fax/emails that we will be doing to ALL the legislatures.... the only thing that will matter is Christie.
  13. What's my name, Skip? =P
  14. Spoke with Michael Patrick Carrol a few days ago and his idea was right... run against these fools, let them waste their money on you.
  15. If someone can put a list together of all assembly people out there.... I just hope they do not put this in for tomorrow's vote.
  16. Go Vlad! took my line. hehe.
  17. I was told to put "all" and as such... they JUST called on those people. I wish I filled out the individual forms about EACH bill...
  18. If anyone is still there. go ahead, take my 2 mins! Maksim Netrebov
  19. Max was taken away by njpilot an hour or so ago. =) Sorry boys. Did not expect it to last this long. I really wanted to testify, but I will make it a point to mail it to them all. I expect the bills to come out of committee.... tonight our battle starts, to hammer the ENTIRE Assembly on these!
  20. lol. Bastard butchered my name. too bad I am back at hte office.
