NJGF Invades Garden State Shooting Center 5/7/2019
So who is coming?

Last permit to use, anything new I should take a peek at.
Get a revolver if you don’t already have one. Also worth considering, a classic CZ 75 or a 1911. If you do want plastic fantastic, can’t go wrong with a CZ P10c. And learn to shoot with pistol sights, no need for red dot. Especially if most you shoot is 15 yards.

Pistol Case
I believe the app you are looking for is Grinder, or Grindr, or whatever it is.

Just Bought a Jura E8 Super Automatic Espresso Machine Anyone Have One
Dude, this is NJgf... we have espresso sipping, cigar puffing professionals and hipsters, doctors, lawyers and bankers. This is not Kentucky gunforums. One member here even owns a coffee shop or two. At least another has a bagel place.

Alexa Is Apparently Recording You
Again? There was a thing where Alexa messaged a private convo to a friend on the phone. but yesbin any case, Google, Siri, and Alexa all record everything.... how else do they pick up “hey Siri” they are constantly monitoring.

Ruger Wrangler, winner or flame out?
Ray Ray, believe me, at the media event Ruger flew me out for... they devoted three hours to the gun... out of 4 days of new product demos. I believe they sold in a week what they planned to all year, or what heritage sells. Ita just that it is a cheap gun for around $200 that is both fun and cheap to shoot. Add in reliable, good build quality and lifetime warranty and you have a winner. I suppose first hint it would be a hit would be seeing the former Delta and Seals at the training academy, Ie the sniper instructors, have the biggest smiles shooting the Wrangler.

What crime did he commit?
Also needs to be pointed out, the guy has a home health aid, meaning he is recovering or cannot perform activities of daily living. Dementia? Other mental illness? For all we know he forgot the home health aid was coming, she opened the door and he thought she was breaking in (even if he saw her 500 times before). Considering the guy was taken into hospital... would assume some health or mental issues.

oooh coffee... Nope, I am using my little Nespresso machine and load my own pods.

What crime did he commit?
So he scared the hell out of a home health aid. She ran out, called cops. Cops tried to get in touch with the guy who could of simply said... "Yep, inside home with a gun." Would have been end of story. I would say also makes a difference, was the guy there holding gun at her? or was it there simply on the table? People over react, assume worst case.

Newark Airport Hollow Points
So I was thinking about it wondering when I last flew with Ammo. It was last month. Flew with a half full box of 6.5 PRC ammo in original Hornady box. Never declared, went into checked back, no issues. I would say look at the airline policies.
-
Newark Airport Hollow Points
Fairly positive would be covered under FOPA... but in any case, I have yet to have ANY TSA or clerk check ammunition. Btw, is the declare ammunition thing new? I thought it was only firearms. I am fairly positive in the past I just threw in ammo in the checked bag without declaring it. As long as it was in a box and not loose, you were okay.

Working on it. I am assuming Alex will not have any issues and we will have plenty of guns for folks to try out. =)

Yep. Thanks for the mag offer. Should have some but bring just in case. No problem on the EZ, just bring or buy 380... quite low on it. Hehe, but it is a great gun. Great for new folks and experienced.

Load Data Variances
One other thing on the OAL is that there is the SAAMI OAL and there is your gun's and magazines'. One particular example is for STI/SVI 2011 firearms, in 40 S&W. Many of the guns that you will find for gun games have a longer chamber and as such folks will load it long. Another reason for this is that STI/SVI mags in 40 S&W need to be loaded long in order to feed reliably. Therefore, most of my 40 S&W loads... won't even fit in a standard Glock 22/23 mag. @LJ1972 by this point you are probably getting information overload so feel free to digest it and ask questions. =) I have been reloading for like 8 years but there are far more knowledgeable folks here, a number of which have replied so far, particularly as it relates to the deep rabbit hole of precision rifle handloading.

STOLEN HG shotguns
My question is... you have 16 guns, assuming a bare minimum of $10k per gun, that is over $160k in guns. How the hell do you leave them unattended in a trailer overnight? Why was there no security hired for someone to sit in the trailer or by it?
-
STOLEN HG shotguns
Wow... talk about stealing guns that you can't move in this country. We are not talking about Glocks but enough in guns to buy a VERY nice house. Do homeboys even know what a Krieghoff is? Almost seems like a great insurance scam. lol. Not like there are a ton of high end guns and those guns are now hot hot hot. The people who deal in those guns are all a very small community.

Smith & Wesson M&P 380 Shield EZ & New 2019 Performance Center Guns
Was sent the M&P 380 Shield EZ to try by Smith & Wesson. While I had the gun, they announced 3 new Performance Center models. Yes, it's a 380 marketed towards betas, newbs and women, but there are enough cool features here that any alpha would appreciate. Video premier tonight at 9PM. Join us live on the youtube chat and will be giving away some cool things from Deflector Brake.

If anyone wants to try a new Shield EZ 380, will have one with me and along with the TCR 22 and the new PC Carbine with Free Float Rail. Just need to find neutered Glock 9mm mags. https://youtu.be/TW5zoEe706Y

Load Data Variances
By 115 grain I am assuming you are reloading 9mm? Every book is going to differ and some tend to go towards the side of caution more than others. Realistically with reloads, you are tailoring them to what you want. Do you want ammo that is tailored to a certain gun game, i.e. USPSA, IDPA, etc... or do you want a very light shooting load that will be a joy to shoot? That all makes a difference. Or are you looking for the most accurate load you can get for your gun? The books are all a starting point for you to figure out what you want and how your gun likes the loads. Furthermore, keep in mind that barrels all behave differently... same load out of a CZ for instance is about 50 FPS slower for me than out of an M&P. A worthwhile investment is a chronograph. About $100 is all you need. It will give you factual data about YOUR gun. Then of course is the choices of powders, etc. Once you get into the groove of it, you will generally consult the manuals less and quite honestly search forums for what other people are shooting. For 9mm, I generally have 3 loads worked up and I pretty much stick to them. The only thing that changes is if the powders you are using are temperature tempermental in which case, for gun game loads at least, you will have a winter and summer load (if you shoot outdoors)... not making minimum feet per second may cost you a big match entry fee. For regular range shooting? won't make a difference. Also, a good starting point today, for reloading data is the Hodgdon website... they have an up to date loading reference for all of their powders. https://www.hodgdonreloading.com Hope that helps.
