For the past two weeks, I have had 2 Double Alpha gun belts and holsters on the back seat from a match... my single stack stuff, and L10. I think alot of it is also in the area where you live and work. Home/Office, I would have no issues... if I lived in Elizabeth again, or any urban area, there is no way in hell I would advertise it, and that is only to protect the from the stupid thinking there are guns inside the car. Like Ben, I tried to compartmentalize things, between, friends, forum friends, family, clients, about who knows what. Right now I am out of the gun closet and pretty much everyone knows I am a gun "advocate". (there is is a Hornady Lock n Load AP in the corner of the office), and tons of shooting stuff on my facebook/twitter) There was a funny moment at the wedding, trying to not bring up "So how do you know the bride/groom?" portion of the wedding, because some influencial people there on Anastasia's side whom we did not know if they were supportive of it or not. Had to cut Jon off during the speech of how we met. lol. As it turns out, a few weeks later, we were over to visit them... the people we thought were quite liberal, were AVID gun owners. (Granted they swear by glocks (cant fix everything)).

Welcome.... and two completely different guns. =) Caliber wise, love the 308 round... but the guns are totally different. Vepr = based on RPK heavy duty receiver, AK action. Dragunov SVD = SVD action. This will be good for about 1.5 MOA though. I have a vepr in 223 (the original veprs) and love it. The new ones are a little cheap feeling.

Single stack 1911 mags are the same holders, 9mm, 40, or 45. I have a few if you want... before you order them. actually, pm on route.

the blazer aluminum that was tested at the range... did not make minimum power factor requirements. just FYI. So don't use for USPSA/IDPA. Steel should be ok.

You are over thinking it. Unless you are driving a pimped out range over, on 22's, all blacked out, your NRA(insert any other gun owner sticker here) will not hurt you. I have had USPSA sticker on my bmw, and njgunforums stickers on the mazda, and have yet to be pulled over and given crap about it. (knock on wood). Most LEO are awesome people, and many of them are gun owners, on here. I would venture to guess there are more gun friendly LEO out there, then non gun owners in NJ. Don't do stupid shit, and pay attention to the voice of reason in your head, and you will likely stay out of trouble. Know the laws, ask questions.

so what sights are on hte gun now? trijicon or the factory glock sights? I would not mess up the trijicon, but absolutely the factory ones.

black out the rear sight.

I have faith in my equipment and backup plans. I do not reload rifle as much anymore. (no time or interest to shoot), and only load for pistol. It does lack a few rounds and the poll options are heavily geared towards single stage. It is not easy to weight every charge for pistol on a progressive. What I will do is... for loading handgun ammo. Load on a progressive with case feeder. There is a RCBS lock out die right after the powder drop die to verify the powder charge, to prevent double charges and or squibs. Separate seat/crimp. Crimp, (Lee factory crimp die), gives a second resize of a loaded round. All goes into a 100 round box, bullet down to check primer uniformity and OAL consistency. Match ammo will then all get chamber checked in the gun, to make sure it drops in freely and smoothly.

This is a great point of discussion. I feel this is in part because most gun owners in NJ feel left out, alone, without a sense of community. I remember way back when the forum first started and we got the t-shirts, I was really hesitant to wear it anywhere outside of the range, the gym, or the house. Right now, it is quite the opposite. Will wear it anywhere I can wear a black t-shirt fashionably. =P Same thing for the car, proudly sporting a USPSA sticker in the rear quarter panel window. (I will never ever ever put a sticker on the bumper (ruins in the car)). I think when gun owners realize they are not alone and there are hundreds of thousands of people just like them, they will grow a pair and not try to hide as they are ashamed.

I bought a Konus 20-40 for about $100 on Dvor. great scope, great optics. Same ones as what the High power guys use at CJ to shoot 300 yards, can easily see bullet holes at 300 yards (308 caliber) 22 is a little tougher to see.

totally not cool to post people's email addresses online.

nice gun, showing character. Police trade in or?

purpose for the gun? My choice, would be a steel gun such as an EAA Witness or a CZ in 40. Out of those two... about the same. Shoot them both, see what is more comfortable to shoot, etc. Either is a good gun.

welcome.

You are only shooting against other revo shooters. =)

Aint that the truth. Shot a classifier, limited, based on time, if I hit all my points, was a 78, I had a mike, it was a 55% My goal for next year is to make Master, although in Reality, will settle for A. =P Hit my goals for this year to hit B. Matt, thanks again for all the help. =)

It is not all about speed, but also accuracy and just overall competence. It is not difficult to shoot fast, it is difficult to shoot at the edge of the envelope of accuracy. What classifiers were shot??

I don't shoot rifle much anymore. Not enough time to go out with a 22 lr. So pretty much matches and training sessions. About 500 to 750 a month centerfire during this time. As we enter winter, the matches are going to be on a case by case basis, and will alternate with skiing on the weekends. Come spring and summer, will be between 1 and 2k a month of centerfire pistol between matches and practice. Noteable exception will be Jan/Feb as I tune up for Florida Open.

Buy the gun, by the 15 round mags.

Or get an M&P 9mm. they all work. Go shoot them both and see. Gen 3's, you get what you see, it works. Gen 4, you get a much nicer glock (ergonomically). There were a number of key changes, so obviously you will have issues. What matters is how Glock will stand behind you.

Must Watch... Chuck Norris, JCVD, Willis, Arnold.... totally winning. Sly I dont really care for. =P the modern stars, Li, Staham are a great plus. only one missing to the party is Segal, but he would not fit as the only one fat and out of shape.

NYC Porth Authority cops have been doing this on a number of occassions. People were arrested upon checking in by some airlines, then released next day. When I was flying out to nationals in Vegas, I was considering taking a flight out of JFK, but after talking to some TSA and LEO guys on the forum, I was highly advised not to do so. the issue is not the TSA, but rather the Port Authority cops. Flew numerous times with firearms in and out of EWR, PHL, ACY, and into MCO and LAS, and never once did I have issues.

eh, it works I am sure. just don't do anything wrong. for LEO, how effective are these? Not necessarily for DUI's but to get other violations, such as warrants

it took me a second to figure that one out Dan. =P
