saw one on consignment at brick armory. that upper alone weighs like 25 lbs. was huge.

much like any bubble, this is coming. look at it this way, you can walk into most gun stores now and find firearms on the shelf... plenty of black rifles, ammo is coming in. at the very least, not getting any worse. went into dicks today, and they had all rifle ammo, including 17 hmr, and 22lr.

shells? already getting a bit off. =P reloading shotgun shells probly not as good of a deal. reloading handgun ammo, does make sense.... for anything but 22lr. only issue is finding primers.... which it seems is getting a little better. Other reason to reload, for more precise ammo.

clean it yet? cant wait to get my permits...

one more. Mku_MRmV4Kw

trust me, many people ship their ammo to their house. Dont be afraid of being a gun owner. =P 12% of nj residents own firearms, and a good number of them has ammo shipped to them. Cabela's is a fine example...

ray ray, keep in mind... Blazer and Blazer Brass. this stuff he is talking about is Brass.

how much how much? =P these are nj versions?

added a new word to the filter. the P word.... keep in mind, work filters see it and think this site is porn. =P

the ammo situation will not be like this always, and somehow... we all end up finding some anyway. I picked up 10 boxes for another member here a few days ago, and thanks to this forum, we have a fairly good idea of what places have ammo, Dicks are getting better with ammo. Cheynne had 9mm last time I was there. there are many other stores that have ammo as well, Effingers, until this week, had plenty of 9mm. there are also gun shows, walmarts and stores in PA, online that you can get ammo. At the moment, Natchezss has 9mm in cci blazer, federal american eagle, magtech, and remington in stock, starting at 13.99. http://www.natchezss.com/ammo.cfm?conte ... moSize=349

pics of that king cobra please. =P and how do you like that lcp? I shot someone's at the range a few months back, and wow, what a horrid experience. =P novelty factor is there... but damn.

reese, please, do share...

tony, no love for the cz? although the hk p30 and wolfy's smith 1911 pro series are insanely accurate. but can't argue against sigs or berettas. 92fs is one of the finest handguns I shot, the new wonderplastic berettas I am not tooo fond of. but for the o.p.... the difference between a 600 dollar handgun and a 500 all in whatever... is only 100. take the time and save... or go out for dinner twice less and voila. if 100 really makes a difference, ask yourself about the whole ownership thing. range fees, targets, ammo, gas, cleaning supplies allllll add up. and you have to practice. if you can't afford it, buy a good 22lr handgun and practice. a lot cheaper experience....and most of all.... more trigger time.

it really is not that bad. Winchester White Box is alot dirtier. lol.

welcome

shot plenty, no issues.

welcome!

ronover, I completely understand that you dont plan on getting more than one handgun, but here is the scenario... you go out and buy one... you dont like it, and want to sell it. you sell it, and want to buy something else.... need a permit. You put your handgun on consignment, and then want it back.... you need a permit. $2, even if you dont plan on using it, 6 months down the road is cheap insurance to have. As far as handguns, did you shoot the 40 yet? There are some 40's that have a higher kick than a 45, including many steel frame handguns. the kick out of a polymer 40 will be greater than that of a steel or full size 45. mostly, you just have to go out and shoot. personally, i like 357sig over 40. =P even better balistics... but lets put it this way... no matter if bad guy getting shot with 40, or 9mm, they are going to have a bad day anyway.

then the 5seven will be good. did you get a chance to shoot wolfy's 357 sig xd?

congrats on getting your butt to getting an FID and permits... I dont speak for everyone, but many will agree, go apply for more than 1 pistol permit. at $2 a pop, its cheap insurance.... and they are good for 6 months with extension. secondly, a carbine will not replace a pistol. if you want an xd, get an xd... dont be afraid to pick up a pre-owned firearm, you will get many good deals come across here, or one of our vendors. secondly, dont be afraid to look at a few prices, go to njgunforums.com and do the firearms quote request to see what you can get them for from our vendors. before buying something, shoot it. dont make that mistake of buying something, esp your first firearm because it looks cool, or felt good in the hand. unless you shot it, you dont know what feels good. =P, esp in a 40 cal.... which leads me to next suggestion... why 40 cal? yes, balistics are better than a 9mm, but have you ever shot a 40? it has a distinctive snappy pop, that turns off many people, including myself. I will have 3 9mm handguns, and then 45, had many opportunities to purchase 40's, but havent. In fact, there is only 1 40 cal I like.... and that is tbtrout's xd with a trigger job. Personally, I would suggest a 22lr and a 9mm. XD's are great because they come with extra mags. my 45gap came with 3 mags, for example. where are you located? come out next tuesday to brick armory, there will be a good turnout, and you are more than welcome to try lots of different firearms, both carbines, handguns, rifles, in various calibers. My suggestion would be a good cz75/85 or a used XD. you will be able to buy a carbine alot quicker and easier than a handgun.

what optics did you get and where from? =P opticsplanet? =P

tb hasnt used his mod buttons in over a month. =P we really are a well member moderated forum... and all grown up. lol.

humn... 1911 of some sort, be it 45 or 9mm. desert eagle 44 mag can be very fun, only thing is... how much use will it actually get? a 22lr pistol is always great. the 5seven will be a niche caliber.... so unless you get something else, ie ps90, or the ar 5x7 upper, will be kind of pointless.

Brick sells Blocks. =P
