Since you play gun games we know those mags are dropped to the ground (unless you are one of those "reload with retention" IDPA realists gamers.) Do you clean those glock mags after every time they hit the ground? If not, crud and fine particles can get in them and then travel up and through the gun. As other suggested, clean the extractor and breach face well to make sure nothing holding up ejection and pulling next round. Just as likely, worn out recoil spring assembly. Both cheap fixes and good preventative maintenance. What caliber? Or they interchangeable? I have a Gen 3 and 4 Block 22 that you can swap parts with to test out if you need.

No experience with it on my 45... but on the Smith with the external extractor, I always get "positive" extraction, even with powder puff loads. I probably have 15,000 rounds or so through the gun, so not a ton, but the only stoppages I recall was either an unseated mag (10 round mag on closed chamber... so technically not the gun's fault)... and a squib load (not enough powder, bullet stuck in barrel)... again not the gun's fault. While an external extractor on a 1911 is not "pure," I am a huge fan.

wowser. @Ray Ray do the grips on the one on the left make the gun noticeably thinner? I LOVE the idea of the 92fs... but one thing I certainly recall is that the grips are quite bulky/fat.

The thing is... I have never seen him so alarmist before... wonder what had gotten into him... either he has some deep insider knowledge of what Murphy is going to do on Monday or there is an ulterior motive.

This is a good suggestion. The Taurus 1911's I played with were all nice guns and at the end of the day, it is a 1911... the ORIGINAL lego for adults prior to the AR15. For those that are not familiar with 1911s, the parts are generally compatible between all the brands. The major differences are when it comes to barrels and extractors, with either internal or external extractor, the barrel ramp and which series safeties.

I knew that Nappen was living in NH... but Scott Bach too? WTF. I felt a little dirty for moving to PA but at least I am 2 mins away. lol.

Your better opportunity is to just post your request and I am sure numerous members here will be happy to let you play with theirs... just cover ammo if you shoot ALOT! I have a Desert Eagle 1911 in 45, the Smith Wesson Pro series in 9mm, and an SVI 2011 in 40sw. Right across the river in PA. You can also drop by many of the USPSA and IDPA matches attended by members. Playing around with one at a store without shooting it is like going to a strip club and not touching? You can also go to the range and pay and rent the guns you are interested in.

It works for someone who goes to shoot with them in PA or what not... BUT if it is a glock mag, or something else common and readily available for $15 to $20... why bother? You are going to waste more money on gas driving to PA. lol. Guns... makes a difference. Really though, FFL's should have loaner high cap mags... is that legal? FFL owns them... only using at the range. I wouldn't butcher and modify 15 round mags to 10 round either... just buy 10 round mags... otherwise, you have no way of cleaning that "permanently modified" magazine, especially if you block it on the bottom and epoxy it in place.

Duh, he is the main attorney for NJ under US Law Shield.

unless you are beating your wife with that pistol. =) Serious discussion...

Over the past few weeks we have seen an increase in the amounts of new shooters visiting the forum, asking questions in anticipation of the December 10th deadline. On one hand, I don't believe when it comes to gun safety and legality there are stupid questions... such as the topic here... The new gun law and transporting magazines started by @FreeNJ, a new forum member. And yes... without a doubt... hundreds of thousands of NJ gun owners are going to be criminals on Monday.... But... are our own 2A "leaders" for the lack of a better word in NJ going a bit overboard with fear mongering? We talked about this in chat today... and if you have not, you should check out the NJGF Chat. One thing I mentioned was the daily messages from ANJRPC counting down the days until the mag ban... yes, I know.. Monday... do we need a daily message discussing it and of course a daily plug for a business that will hold those mags for you for a fee per magazine? (after 12 months of which you are better off just buying new mags). Again, don't have too many issues. And then I went on facebook and found this gem... My response to that is... So what do you think? Overboard? Or are the black helicopters going door to door for Christmas? (Too late for Chanukah, tomorrow is the last day). (Btw.. just don't blame the mag ban on the Jews... or Putin... I beg of you.)

Spot on. As I previously said... boating accidents... lots of mags and guns sinking.

Yeah, that gun was completely impractical and less usefull than a 50AE desert eagle... in any color. lol.

and there is always this... Towards the end of the day... they just need to burn off ammo.

On Opera I can click on the next button and while picture changes, the state/caption stays the same. lol.

You know... Murphy would likely consider an unloaded magazine "hazardous"... and speaking of unloaded magazines... I have a letter from TSA somewhere when I forgot to take out some unloaded mags while flying out to USPSA nationals in Vegas. PHL cops that were called thought it was funny and stupid (unloaded mags), the TSA lady... not so much.

Not everyone is on facebook or want to go there. =)

Does not work on Opera. Anyone have a direct source with the list or can copy and paste? Just saw Delaware as the last one... seems really off.

Thanks for joining the forum and asking your question. I am sure many who read it will have similar questions. I think to help, you need to look at it more broadly. From the straight up legal perspective, I do not know whether a sealed package is fine or not, BUT as another member mentioned, there are 24/7 USPS kiosks or just drop it off in the post office box. Generally, as long as you do, you are fine. Alternative is, since it is the weekend, mail it USPS. You can print label and drop it off OR just take it in a box to Staples. They will give you a dropped off receipt showing Sunday. Now... having said that, A LARGE percentage of the active posters have been here for more than 5 to 8 years, quite a few are approaching 10 years, and many if not most have shot for longer than that. Over the last 10 years, particularly under Murphy, gun owners have been under constant attacks. Today, I would venture most just don't a crap anymore about the 10 round mag limits and during the last few months you likely had MANY boating accidents with everything lost in the water. (not literally but you get the hint). Is it breaking the law? Sure... but so is speeding. The odds of the police busting down your doors on Monday looking for 15 round mags is close to zero. You do have to know though that IF you happen to do something else stupid and the police have to come down to your house or just happen to pull you over, smell drugs and decide to search your car... yeah... you will get charged. Once you realize the difference between a 10 round mag and a 15 round mag is either a different spring, a rivet, or a piece of wood inside, the hole notion of low capacity magazines saving lives is a joke. Welcome to the community. Edit: This is not legal advice, nor do I live in that forsaken state anymore... (although I can still smell the air and buy my gas there). @SJG

You do know we have lawyers here right? =) No, for real... we do. I know of at least 2 who regularly visit. And stop being a douche to newer people... not everyone is versed with gun laws or comfortable around guns. We do have 80% of the people who read these forums for advice, ARE NOT members.

If he wants to. =)

Anyone from here going? Things are finally freeing up a tad here and will be able to attend. NJGF will be represented by @Krdshrk and myself. We will be attending the show and the invite only Media Day at the Range. I do have one more invite available as part of our crew, although it is time sensitive. If you are interested in going, let me know. Dates are Jan 21st through 25th.

Awesome, it is in a great area, long overdue for a good range, ever since Ray's closed down. Looking forward to checking it out.

None, it is a credit union. PM me can point you in the direction.

We have a few car mechanics on the site with their own shop. @NJJim comes to mind. Perhaps can help you or point you in right direction.
