I believe there is a version of something like it, ah wait, the Draco? that is nj legal, and came in under weight limit.

Before going back to regularly scheduled programming.... 1. I sincerely hope BA has got its business practices together. I loved shooting there, and the people there are quite knowledgeable for a typical gun store. I would not hesitate to use the range, or purchase firearms that are in stock, and on the shelf. It is a great store, great indoor range, and still the number 1 or 2 indoor range in the state for both the comfort level and value. It typically is not over run by idiots, and the place I felt the safest shooting at an indoor public range. Phil is a nice guy and would not intentionally do something to screw you over....... however.... I would not personally put a deposit, or pre pay for an item and wait for it to come. UPS tends to be closed, packages get lost, distributor was out, etc. Too many people here had issues. On this information alone, buyer beware, or at least know your expectations will likely not be met in a timely fashion. 2. Resolution to SS is coming. Now... back to the original post. Sigs have gotten higher in price over the past few months and year. They have also been making so many varieties that you got to make sure you are comparing apples to apples, and not a CPO gun to a new in box gun, an Elite to a non elite, etc. My own advice, look for a used Sig p226. Most are gently used, and even better if you find a Sig CPO gun.

Here is a solution, disable the Serpa mechanism and use it as a holster. Problem solved. =) I shot an extra classifier with the m&p this weekend and used the serpa holster, gave myself a little bit of a wedgie on the draw as on this holster for some reason took a bit more effort. It all boils down to what you are going to use it for. Right now, it is the equivalent of off roaders and soccer moms discussing the Jeep Liberty as a vehicle. The Serpa in my eyes is a great holster for certain applications, but not the best for other applications. In gun games, it requires you as Mike mentioned, to operate at the edge, and if you can't handle it, has bad consequences. For others, like Ant is talking about, it is a great holster for how he uses it, as an OC or CCW application in his environment, where it will not likely be subject to being in a sandstorm or what not. Lets leave it at that.

What is the difference between A & B? I cant see. Honestly, I can not complain about CJ just having the slide locked open after seeing this. This is nuts. I hope CR does pits like CJ does, at least that way, you are in the pit, it is yours, no one else around there. Now CR is privately owned by BOD ? and correct me if I am wrong, members have no say in how the club is run, and only elect BOD? To me... the way mark put a pic up the first one, seems the safest of all, and you are not sticking something down the barrel, yuck.

Firearms prices were hella high, ammo was pretty decent. during the obama rush on ammo, they were not gouging on 22lr, bought bricks for $18 all day long. firearms prices all seemed MSRP (which is way above street). Decent selection of stuff, worth the visit.

Vlad... 7 stages? =P Pending we get some more stage designers?

What a good gorgeous day to shoot, and pretty cool stages too. Now time for nap. 72 shooters came out today, for a March match with one less hour than usual. Got done around 3:15 which was awesome. 6 stages moved pretty quickly.

Come to Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol club tomorrow to check out the USPSA match. I will be there. Check out the game, check out the guns and folks shooting the match. Match starts at 10 am. Come earlier, around 8:30 or 9am to come setup, and can spend some time going over stuff. Hang out with the squad through the day and meet a few folks from the forum. Send me a pm, will give you the details.

Parking was fine BA good time was had? heh? Don't get it. Brick Armory short range? BA is 25 yards, it is longer than BH. Honestly, invest in a range membership at Old Bridge, Cherry Ridge, Monmouth, Ft Dix, or Central Jersey. Is your health and sanity worth it? Especially as it gets warmer, no reason to shoot indoors and breathe in all the lead if you don't have to.

Also, just fyi ahead of time, what you think you like now, will absolutely change when you start shooting. In the past 6 months I have picked up 6 revolvers. 2 years ago, I would never imagine, or even consider buying a revolver, or many handguns for that matter. Depending on where you shoot, whom you shoot with, how much time or money you have to invest in shooting, will shape who you are as a gun owner. Are you going to be a hunter with 2 shotguns? A Trap/Skeet guy spending $10k on a Krieghoff (sp)? Or a run and gun USPSA/IDPA guy spending $4,000 and $150 per magazine on a custom SVI/Brazos/Akai high capacity 1911/2011? Or maybe bullseye shooting and custom 22 lr guns with grips molded around your hand? You will buy and sell lots of guns. You will sell some guns you regret, and end up buying them back. Even better, buying back the exact same gun you sold. You will have, in a year or so, a box of gun parts (holsters, magazines, etc.) for guns you no longer have, never had, or no longer need. You will consider reloading your own ammo to save money (it does not save money btw, you just shoot more) So enjoy.

Ok, came to realization there is more stuff that needs to go into range bag. 11. Squib Rod - Either you or someone else at the range will need to use one to remove a stuck case, or a bullet stuck in the barrel from your reloads or factory ammo. 12. Lead wipes - or anything else to remove lead and other crap from your fingers and face. Shooting indoors you are not doing your health any favors. 13. Band aids, wrapping tape, and other minor first aid stuff. You will get slide bite, some idiot will shoot bird shot in the port next to you, stuff goes flying back at you. 14. Bottle of water to keep you hydrated. Some ranges have stuff, others do not. Do not get dehydrated.

welcome. Browse some sections here, especially the handgun one, and you will see the difference. Glocks/M&P/XD are striker fired, Double Action Sigs, Hk, CZ, Beretta are hammer fired, either DA/SA, DAO, or SAO. Sigs are good quality guns, and in the grand scheme, if that is what you like best, save another $300 and buy a sig. Buy a used sig, even better, there are at least 2 or 3 P229's in the forum marketplace right now. You are going to spend multiples over on ammo, and range fees, and cleaning supplies, and accessories, and gas driving to the range.... than you are on the gun itself. There is a saying here, "Buy Once, Cry Once" This is not to say that there is something wrong with any of the handguns you listed above, they are fine, and not some saturday night specials. Polymer guns tend to be cheaper, except Hk, trigger feel is different too. If it was my personal choice, it would be either the Sig or the Beretta from the choices above. Glock wise... I would get the 19 as harry suggested. The 19 takes 15 round mags. The 17 takes 17 rounds, which is not legal in nj, so you are stuck with the 10 rounders. Unless you want to have the full size frame gun, get the 19.

do a search, we discussed them before. IIRC, a really expensive private hunting club... REALLY expensive.

er... Chris, slight correction. The lottery is a tax on the poor.

Ben I would say even pointlessly pulling the trigger does benefit you. Jerry M has a dry fire mechanism built up for him, just so he can dry fire while driving, etc. At the very least, you are going to build up strength in your trigger finger, as well as you are going to get that much more attuned to the trigger.

No. Only with Rimfire.... you do not want to dryfire on an empty chamber. One easy workout for anyone concerned.... pick up some spent brass that you fired out of the gun, and put it in the chamber and dry fire that.

We will have these soon enough for the forum. =)

that is nifty.

Can we get together so I can shoot the 610? making it to USPSA CJRPC on Sunday?

There is an additional form that gets sent in for multiple handgun purchases, or multiple purchases within x number of days. Being used in border states to look for straw purchases for cartels.

I can't believe some of the comments in there, to the tune of Woodbridge being a ghetto and turning into Newark. my god... what blind sheep. But it is ok, I was one of them, then you really learn all the shit that you don't hear about in the news happening right next door.

I think everyone should own a wheel gun at some point. Just something sexy about them. I am as big a fanboy of a high cap race gun... but over the past 6 months... aquired a number of wheel guns. Colt King Cobra 357/38 (LNIB) Colt Trooper Mark III 357/38 (LNIB) Smith Wesson 686-5 5" 357/38 Smith Wesson 57 8" .41 Magnum Taurus 94 22lr 9 shot I bought, then sold a Smith Wesson 625 JM in 45 ACP, but sold it for some reason, so now looking at picking one up again, along with Smith Wesson 610 10mm/40 S&W Smith Wesson 500 (just because) Colt Python (if I can find one in good condition at a reasonable price) some sort of a 44 mag

Personally I would get a full sized gun for your first one in 9mm and a 22. You can always sell them later on. When buying used, it helps to buy guns from companies that have a no bs warranty, like smith and Wesson, Springfield armory, or even Taurus. I am sure there are others but did not deal with them directly on used guns. M&P would be my choice, followed by sig 226, beretta 92 variety, glock. 19, steyer of the ones you gave above.

I can give you some steel match loads for it. You will think it is a 22.

Forcast calls for 57 degrees and no precipitation. Awesome!
