Next Purchase Suggestion
This was going to be my suggestion, the PDP is is one of the best shooting pistols I own, and was my first pistol with a red dot. The PDP- F has a 3.5 inch barrel version for the wife if she is looking for a smaller pistol.

Where is the closest Wilson Combat store
Shooters in little egg harbor had a few last time I looked. But you’re going to need to drive that hour and a half.

Trying to narrow down candidates for a revolver
My wife also suffers from the same complaint about kick on pistols, she is 4’ 11” and has very tiny hands, although she can drive tacks with my Colt 1911 in 45acp, she doesn’t enjoy it, even though the single stack fits her hand well. I have a 38 captain special, she likes the small revolver, likes the 38 special round, but doesn’t like cocking the hammer, and double action is to strong a pull for her, grrr… She primarily shoots her M&P 380 EZ, small pistol but with a bit of kick, she will run 3-4 mags through it and say she had enough due to the kick. Today I took her to the range and her first question was, did you bring my Ruger .22, ahh back to the no kick, didn’t bring the Ruger but had her try my Beretta PX4 Storm compact Carry, explaining that it has less kick than her .380 EZ even though it’s a 9mm, she laughed. I installed the Langdon trigger job in a bag and the transfer bar, what a trigger pull it has now, so smooth. After 3 mags she says to me, ohh, I like this. The rotating barrel absorbs some of the recoil turning it into a very soft shooter, on par or less than her .380, at 27oz it’s not a deal breaker for my wife, soft shooting with a great trigger, finally I get a smile out of her. I know it’s not a revolver, but if your wife is anything like mine, you’re going to spend a bunch of money on hand guns to get a scrunched nose and a “I don’t like it”. Your wife is welcome to try it out, if you make it down to Weshoot in Lakewood some Sunday, send a PM and I can meet you there. Good Luck…

What are ya drinking?
Was gifted a couple bottles of this scotch, almost fell off my chair when I looked it up. Break it out on special occasions. https://www.johnniewalker.com/en-us/our-whisky/core-range/johnnie-walker-king-george-v/ If you’re a scotch drinker and have the opportunity to try it or buy it, don’t hesitate, it really is that good.

How to get your hunting license
And they loaded and unloaded the shot gun if you went a second round.

How to get your hunting license
They gave you 3 clay, one at a time. The state gun I used was an over/under Remington 12 gauge, with a reload if you missed the first two. The young kids there they let take a few more shots with a 20 gauge pump so dad had ample time to video the experience. It really was more about safety and an enjoyable morning. I hit the first clay and the instructor said, ok you’re good, he then verified I engaged the safety and I was done, never got to pull the trigger twice.

How to get your hunting license
Took the course last year, after you complete the online test you print out a voucher that you bring to the field test (assuming you passed), the state has shotguns there or you can bring your own. The field test took all of 5 minutes, hit the clay don’t hit the clay, state shotgun had a safety, engage the safety, you pass. They give you a green voucher, take it to Dicks or any license agent and get your permit, bow and shotgun takes longer, don’t think you can do both on the same day, they split up the two groups, hardest part was finding an open slot to take the field test, had to drive 70 miles for an open slot.

Thoughts on Applying for more P2P with existing FID

BUIS
Not sure how to describe it, but you see the spot you are aiming at, even at an indoor range where it is relatively dark, they work. They also have other aperture’s you can buy, smaller, larger.

BUIS
I was never a fan of buis, not due to the sight but rather to my crappy eye sight, peep with a front post was a challenge so I would never use them. Enter an M1 Garand, now I forced myself to use them and I found I was actually adequate with my Garand, no 500 yard hits but have been very happy with hitting an 8” plate at 150 yards. So I start looking for buis for my ar, tried a few cheap set ups but not as good with them as I am with the Garand, opened up a Midway promo email and browsed the deep discount aisle, found these for a deep discount, Ultradyne C2 Sight Set… They had good reviews so I bought them, mounted, zero’d and was very impressed, I’m sure there is a medical explanation but having the two aperture’s allows your eye to relax and focus on the target through the front aperture. Amazing how it worked with my tired eyes. Line up the holes to your point of impact and squeeze. For a $115 to my door it was a great investment, so much so that I took off my strike eagle and just run the Ultradyne sights, very fun to just run the irons.

FARS status online?
Brick township took 6 weeks to issue my p2p, 12 months ago they took 9 weeks. Brick now makes you to pay for the permits up front before they process them, 12 months ago they didn’t ask for the 2 bucks until the permit was ready. Even though the fars site says they send the collected 2 bucks to your local PD.

Handgun permit issues
Hit enter for 3 ptp on 8/2, got a call on 8/12 to pay for the permits, was all excited, no way it took less than 2 weeks in Brick township, get to the PD and the girl tells me they make you pay up front now because they have 200 apps sitting there where people didn’t come in to pay, leave bummed. Still waiting, heard they are turning them around in 6 weeks. Should be soon, I hope.

Considering picking up a carry pistol. Having a hard time deciding.
I have the LTT trigger group in mine, it gets me to 80% of a full in house pistol, and man it is sweet, double action is one smooth pull and a solid crisp break. I can only imagine what the pistol you got to shoot felt like.

Considering picking up a carry pistol. Having a hard time deciding.
I went with a PX-4 storm compact carry. A little bit of heft to it, 3.2 in barrel, full-size grip, I can get all three fingers on the grip. Double/single action. Awesome trigger out of the box and if you want to lighten the trigger there is the Langdon Tactical drop in trigger group. I may send it in for a rds cut and install a Holosun optic.

Red dot on handgun
DPP on a Walther pdp. I still rack the slide basically the same way, now the DPP is just in my hand as I rack the slide now. Actually makes it easier, with 1000 rounds through it with the rds no issues, never loosened never lost zero.
