Undersize die. the tanfoglio was notorious for tight chambers, and sometimes the bulge at the bottom of the case, especially "glocked" brass would cause issues. The big problem is when the case itself is not resized all the way to the bottom. For this reason, I use Lee dies, which do a better job of resizing closer to the base of the case, and then a second, separate crimp, which also gives everything a nice second resize once case is loaded. never had an issue with any 40 cal brass, even from once fired brass from glocks. CZ's also tend to have a tighter chamber. Alternatively, Lee does sell undersize dies, which do tend to resize the case a bit smaller. Hope that helps.

The few times I shot shotguns, 20 gauge was just fine, be it for Trap or sporting clays. This is not a 410. =)

Invest a few bucks and get a membership to Cherry Ridge, Central Jersey, or Old Bridge. =)

either choices will work. for the lower end, the double bladetech pouches are fantastic. (the ones pizza bob linked) If you want much more adjustability, get individual mag pouches like cr speed, DAA, or Safariland.

Actually, turns out I will be going to Russia in the next few months, will buy a bottle there. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Eh, it is just a BK reorganization. An easy way to restructure and get rid of debt. Look at it this way, Smith & Wesson had more liabilities than Izmash. This really is not even worthwhile news. Here is the primary example of Capitalism vs Socialism.... Former soviet union leaders shared the designs and machining to create the rifles in order to enhance their sphere of influence.... no one even considered patents. Patents and licensing are only important if you are trying to run a for profit business. Now that Izmash is a for profit entity, of course you would be pissed that every country is creating clones, and you are not getting a penny. But hey... Stoner does not have a Vodka named after him. Humn.... I am not a big drinker... but I want this.

Neither my K31 or 1911 had one IIRC. I love history like that though. =) Just surprised the owners of the rifles did not take it with them though.

Pizza Bob and Nick have already added all you need to know at this point. =) I will say though, when I load my ammo, I have exclusively switched to JHP or Plated HP bullets..... they make cleaner holes in paper. =) another plus.... all else being equal, slightly more accurate/consistent as the mass of the bullet weight is towards the back. In reality, for punching paper, it is fine, especially since most people seldom shoot beyond 10 yards. Beyond that, there is a difference, and some guns prefer heavier weight bullets, the rest is all what you prefer. Personally, I like 124 grain in 9mm, 180 grain in 40, 230 in 45. My HK P30 loved 147 grain stuff. If you are competing in any type of matches, such as IDPA, USPSA, Knockdown steel, 124 grain in 9mm will have a slightly easier time knocking down the steel. More mass moving.

NJ Pistol Permits are supposed to have been disposed of after 30 days too... however my PD keeps them all indefinitely. NJ COE forms... not sure if they are submitted by the FFL's to the state... but rifles would be tougher to pin down.

Really? You Don't Say? This is not to take away from Glocks, M&P's, Xd's, and others... but there is a reason why most serious, high end guns are based on 1911 design, Single Action trigger. The Single Action trigger often puts the onus on the shooter to do their thing. A stock M&P or Glock trigger is just tooo much, too much mush, grit, weight. That is why you have so many choices, it is great, different guns for different people. My gun of choice is a 1911, both for the ergonomics, reliability, and shoot-ability. I must admit... I have been a horrid person. I usually am anal about cleaning, and 99% of my guns get cleaned after every time they are shot.... except my competition guns. a Smith Wesson 1911 9mm Pro Series, and a SVI Infinity 40 cal. I have put approximatively 1,200 rounds through the race gun as most would call, the SVI, had it drop in the gravel/sand pit, and still work like a charm, with absolutely ZERO malfunctions during the 1,200 rounds, or the few thousand I put through it over the last year. The last 1,200 rounds were without cleaning, and only a bore-snake and some oil through it at the match after it dropped. The smith 1911 has been equally as trouble free. The point is... while yes, a SA trigger will be far easier/better to shoot, saying that anyone who does not shoot a Block or M&P well is a crappy shooter is plain moronic. Go ahead, please enlighten me and others on here. (and yes, I have owned plenty of Blocks, M&P's, HK's, XD's over the years.... have shot them all, owned them all), Striker fired guns can be simple.... but for some damn reason I am not as accurate with striker fired Walthers and Smith M&P as I am with any other gun. In fact, my 70 year old German Makarov, shoots more accurately in my hands than modern tupperwear.

Yay, got a spot. Signed up for waitlist and got it.

Chris @ Bullseye Tactical may have a few.

they have a Beretta store in Manhattan?

Some more... http://www.egwguns.com/chamber-checkers/

Please explain... The "firearms price request" is not a hoop to jump through, it is the easiest way to inquire from a number of dealers for one or more firearms. The vendors here have an option of posting deals in their own individual sections, however the point of the price request feature is not to have the vendors shove a gun down your throat because it is "on sale." The local FFL's spend their time interacting and talking to gun owners... they do not have a no name presence behind a website trying to advertise "on sale" closeout prices for guns they just got a big package deal on. Bud's is not a gun dealer... they are a middle man looking to skim their $5 per gun and do absolutely no service.

um... why would you load mass quantities of questionable ammo? Load 50, go test them in the gun, before loading a lot more of it.

Oooh, really? humn, ideas ideas.

LOL.... I am just saying what the law is. Not touching what people actually do. =) But even without the out of state taxes... in most cases, a local dealer can be as cheap if not cheaper all in.

blah.... Classifiers are not "fun". They are perhaps the least fun USPSA matches there are. Here is a better representation....

Buds is decent for closeouts, but don't expect any service in case of issues. In 90% of the cases, you can do a firearms price request and get the same item, all in pricing from a local vendor. Keep in mind on the tax issue... Out of state purchases are taxed on your NJ state tax returns... just saying. You LEGALLY have to pay taxes on that order from Bud's anyway.

That is the new Glock 1911 they were talking about.

And then just get a 2011. =) Actually I am in the same boat... considering a G17 or 34.... for production. The XDm are actually pretty nice guns. With some work, really nice triggers. Other alternatives... CZ 75.

Mike, IIRC, you were the fastest on that stage. KC and CT were in the 13's or so. The RO's remembered you when I asked them about the times on Sunday. Said it was someone who did mid 12's but had a mike.

Mike, you were DAMN quick looking at the times. Blew stage 6 (bay 5) in 12 and change... damn. =) Too bad you had that mike on there. Was the fastest time by far.
