Which gun for IDPA
Correct. On the 1911, my finger is automatically indexed on the frame of the gun. On the Glocks, it is on the outside of the trigger guard. Many many people use the Serpa holsters and have not had issues. I think people are blaming their own issues on the holster because they don't want to admit they have crappy discipline. I have owned/used Serpa holsters on 1911's, Sigs, and M&P's. never an issue.

Registering Handguns
All of the pistol permits are supposed to be reviewed, then destroyed. they don't get destroyed. Hence quasi registration.

S&W Governor, anybody own one???
thinking and thinking... what gun did they copy from Glock? Btw, the governor feels alot better than the Taurus. Most importantly, it is alot more practical considering it is chambered to shoot 45 ACP, and by default 45 GAP (yes, doesnt mean squat to some).

Registering Handguns
You are correct. That website is absolutely wrong. There is no "registration" required in NJ, however one might easily confuse pistol purchase permits and FID card system as quasi registration.

It is actually a very nice reolver. Feels great in the hand. Did not have a chance to shoot it yet though.

Your Opinion - Beretta 92FS as 1st 9MM Handgun
34 is not a tac gun, it is a comp gun with a ported slide for weight reduction.

Never heard of them, nor would I personally purchase reloaded ammo unless it was from someone I knew. How much are you ordering? Spend $2 a box more and get factory new.

Your Opinion - Beretta 92FS as 1st 9MM Handgun
Dev's, you lost me in that last post. Have you shot or owned any CZ, M&P, FN FNS, Walther PPQ, Almost any 1911, They all have far nicer triggers than a stock glock. If you feel a stock glock trigger is nice with a clean break, come to the range with me, and shoot any of my guns. My 60 year old German Makarov has a nicer trigger than any new stock glock. As far as ergonomics, it is not a myth, I have bought and sold 3 gen 3 glocks, because the ergonomics resembled a brick. The Gen 4's are FAR better, but you either find glocks comfy or you don't. Back to the OP. The Beretta 92fs is a fantastic first handgun, mild recoil, accurate gun, cheap and plentiful accessories. It was the handgun on which I learned how to shoot.

Ed Brown Is Rude At Shot Show 2012
Vlad, Dave, not disagreeing with you at all about Ed's products. I know he makes terrific products and for now, the amount of people wanting his gun, no matter what, is far outstripping his supply. Youtube reviews... for most things I am going to buy, I will do a google and watch some videos before picking up a magazine. I will then either make my decision with products that are not not likely to burn me, or do more research. When I purchased my car, I looked at forums and other people who owned them, as existing owners are typically the least biased people. They already have to live with the decision they made and are a great source for things, such as whats wrong. Same with restaurant reviews, hotel reviews. I will first and foremost read other people's reviews, instead of the local advertisement for them. Yes, there is a lot of fluff out there, and not everyone with a web cam is an expert, however same as publications in magazines. We just have to use our common sense to figure it out, and to make a decision for ourselves. As we had a discussion in chat, there are some people to whom the first priority is the best product, then there are others who are willing to buy an acceptable product if it comes with an amazing purchasing experience. I am one of those. I drive a problematic BMW because I love the service and personal attention I get when I bring it in for service. So, product not withstanding, I would not purchase a gun from Ed Brown just because of the experience I had. I am not going to go say that the guns are crap, nor do I care if his business goes under or not. I would go ahead and purchase a new gun from SVI, CZ Custom, or other gunsmith, with great product quality, largely based on the exceptional customer service and experiences I have had with the company thus far. Now, if Mr. Brown's company continues when he is no longer with us, and if his intention is to continues his gun company by having someone take over, he really ought to care what the people are saying about him. In 20 years, these 20 year olds on youtube are going to be his target market. By his interaction and outlook on customers, I don't think his intention to do so, and is banking on his name and reputation he garnered to continue with his target market until they are alive. Beyond that, who cares. If so, then it is his perogative. Smith & Wesson, Sig, CZ, are not about one man, and thus why they care about what current and future customers say. Same for SVI, who has as big if not bigger of a backlog. Look at United Airlines, even though alot of people have no choice but to fly, how much negative publicity did breaking a guy's guitar do for them? If you knew you had 1 year to live, would you care what people think of you? Probably not. If you knew your company and legacy were going to be around for generations? I bet your outlook would change. This is how I see Ed Brown. If he really intends to continue his company, he really ought to start paying attention to how he treats these internet bloggers.
