Will be there 15th to 20th. Did not book hotel yet.

1911.

Welcome to the forum.

Steel will reduce the felt recoil, all else being equal over polymer? Or at least will make it more enjoyable to shoot. The only polymer handguns I really like are the Hk P30 and the Smith Wesson M&P's. But it all depends on what you like to shoot. I would suggest going to ShoreShot, and renting a few pistols and seeing what you like. Don't buy on handling it at the gun store alone.

Was going to say the same thing. Every python/colt revolver I have shot with/played with, already has a fantastic trigger.

Ray Ray, Steel is one day, USPSA another, IDPA another, Cowboy Action another, bulls eye another. Before you know it, every weekend day is taken up by a match. CJ, Old Bridge, both have extra ranges for this. My understanding, CR does not, and those matches would close up the range. If you do not shoot matches, how would you feel about you not being able to shoot pistol any weekend day? Last I checked, most were shooting weekends.

Was close, and for a little while they flew under the radar, however the new Auto Ordinance one is still not legal.

Check the first post.

Whats the deal with it Bryan?

welcome to the forum.

Glad you had a great time. Most will shoot one eye open. Especially at the range. Some folks will shoot both eyes open but it is harder, especially if you have any vision issues. A glock is a glock. Good handguns, but you either love them or you dont. Do you have your FID and own firearms yet? or just testing the waters? welcome to the forum.

restricted by seeding, backstop only. I believe in Jan we will be allowed, or so was my understanding.

That is for Old Bridge. No Pre Registration required for Central Jersey. However, if you guys want 6 stages... instead of 5, we need all the help we can get to set them up. If you all want CJRPC scores to come out early, then I am going to try to do some work during registration, however it means need more help to setup stages in the AM. Its a volunteer sport.

I use the Midway USA ones, in big packs, or go get the Winchester branded ones at Walmart. They do protect the guns, and all my C&R guns are in gun socks.

Just try it. You are fully capable of hitting at those distances, it aint far. Just take your time. Speed is not big thing either, there is no sense in a "double tap", considering you dont even aim. Anyone can bust off two rounds very quickly, but it is about the accuracy too. =) Point is, at the longer distances, you will see what is wrong with your trigger discipline, and you are not going to be reinforcing those habits while working up to that distance.

good job, great writeup. What was your pace between shots? Were you just cracking them off, or were you shooting for groups? Start shooting at 25 yards, at the njgf targets, then start bringing it in, you find a reasonable speed you can shoot at those distances without missing. If your trigger discipline sucks, it wont show at 7 yards. Not enough distance for it to start sucking. by 15, and then definitely by 25 it will.

er, should of re-read. The other two local requirements are BS. Call state police if they give you issues.

Except the mental health records form is a required form. The two written recommendations are not, are they thinking of references? Which they do do. You have to give two names. Other local forms are added requirement. $18 is for the background check.

I call BS. Demand your cash back. Permit? Your initial FID or pistol permits? You don't need a pistol permit for a rifle. =)

Why is it taking you longer to clean the Sig than the PPQ? Take slide off, barrel, spring, guide rod. $5 tops. 1911 is 10 mins tops. I would argue it takes longer to clean mags than the gun. =) Only reason why a 1911 is longer is because you need to use something to take the bushing off. In any case, a da/sa gun can teach more about firearms in general than a striker fired gun. Then again, I am biased, and a horrible russian. I am not crazy about AK's or russian firearms, and I think the 1911 is by far the most awesomest firearm platform for a handgun. Followed by the Browning High Power, and then CZs.

who is Eric?

Mercer county is ghey.

awesome to hear.... and I bet it was nice and warm inside.

Under $700 - BUL M5 (Also sold as the Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911) Under $1k - S&W, Sig etc. Under $1,200 - S&W Pro Series Over that, the sky is the limit. I like STI's, but the base STI's still need to be upgraded, as the fit and finish aint all there. I really like the Colts, The new Special Government ones are fantastic. played with one in FL and was really fascinated, especially since it is a Colt. (I am going through a Colt stage). http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog/ColtPistols/ColtSpecialCombatGovernment.aspx Kimbers and Springfield seem to be having issues. Dan Vessons seem nice.

Blazer Aluminum, and from what I understand, Brass, as quite light loads, and will typically not make required power factor for IDPA/USPSA. Just fyi. Glad to hear the gun is eating up all the ammo, although why shouldn't it? =)
