I'm not confusing gun games with real life. Speed is an important factor in both.

I've never heard anyone who's been in a fight say they had too much ammo. Within reason of course.

No matter what you carry you should carry at least one reload.

I disagree. I've seen a security video where a LEO wound up almost face to face with a bad guy, both with their guns out. The LEO got the initiative and fired 11 rds from a Glock 26 in about 2 seconds. You need to shoot the bad guy more than once to ensure stopping him. This is more important if you're using a 22 and need to put 3, 4. or 5 rds into the bad guy as fast as you can. If speed is not a factor in defensive shooting why is it an element in all the gun games. If you're talking a service size 9mm and a J frame 357 of course your recovery time with the 357 is greater. If you're talking a service size 9mm and a service size revolver using 38s (all making things more equal) there's no difference in speed.

That or a nylon web knife pouch with a flap covering the bottom of the mag. I've been using these for years, they are durable and don't appear to attract attention. Much smaller than a cell phone pouch.

I'm okay with everything except where did you come up with a revolver is not as fast for follow up shots? That may be the case if you swapped out springs for a 5 lb trigger pull for a crutch and screwed up the timing of the revolver in the process. If a revolver is so much slower than a semi why would the speed shooters use them.

Let's not get this guy sainthood until we hear the rest of the story.

Nice stuff! Thanx for posting the links for better photos.

Easy deal as advertised.

Read your other post and the only thing I have to add to my previous post under this thread is the guns and mags he brings back to NJ are NJ legal. If your son is stationed in NC and your address is his home of record he is moving it to one of his residences and the FPID is not needed. He would be subject to the restrictions applicable for transporting the rifle to the range while he is home. When he goes back to NC he would be moving the gun back to his other residence. All covered under existing law. This would be the same as thousands of NJ resident without a NJ FPID who have legal residences in NJ and FL who move NJ legal guns they bought in FL back to NJ.

I didn't say professional courtesy doesn't exist. I don't know what you do for a living but professional courtesy still exists in many professions and that includes legal issues. If you read NJ Title 39 it says a LEO can issue a verbal warning, written warning, issue a summons, or make an arrest for a violation. Yes, under the law a LEO can give you a verbal warning for DUI and arrests you for parking by a fire hydrant is working within the law.

I don't. I guess not being in the loop "professional courtesy" is not what it used to be with all the requirements put on LEOs. Cops do give other cops tickets. Not all the time but cops don't always give out tickets to non-cops either. If this is so big an issue with you start another thread and don't hijack this one. But we've all been there before, haven't we.

LEOSA is not "professional courtesy" it is Federal law.

Your son getting a NJ FPID is a good idea but keep in mind if he is military permanently stationed in NC he can buy handguns and long guns there from a FFL or private party due to his military status. He just needs to bring his military ID and copy of his orders assigning him to NC to the FFL. IIRC NC requires a pistol purchase permit from the sheriff, a holdover Jim Crow law. Its still easier than NJ. If he lives in barracks he will most likely have to keep his guns in the arms room. Any guns, including handguns, can be legally brought back to NJ no registration required as long as he has a NJ home of record and a NJ DL to prove it. He would be subject to the restrictions when transporting long guns the same as handguns (to and from range, etc.).

The purpose of an Executive Order is to tell agencies how to carry out or clarify laws passed by Congress. Although they have the force of law they cannot make laws like an AWB. This was established by SCOTUS during the Truman administration. All Presidents since Truman have been careful to cite which existing laws the EO applies. The only issue that hasn't been tested in court regarding Executive Orders is the President's ability to use military force under the War Powers Act. The reason it hasn't been tested is most likely because all Presidents have gone to Congress for approval when they have used the War Powers Act.

Belated feedback but easy deal.

You made the statement and now you're telling me gather your proof?

And your proof of this is?

How many out there have their generator properly grounded?

That really must have been some time ago. I've been shooting over 40 years and back in the 70s 100-200 rds was an acceptable trial.

I don't know where you got the idea you need to run 500 rds of a type of ammo through your gun to prove it reliable. That is unless you have a gun that's finicky about what ammo its fed. Its hard to find a quality handgun that doesn't handle any type of quality ammo. I also find it strange many feel almost unarmed if they find themselves in a position where all they is fmj ammo. Yes hp ammo is more effective but shot placement not some magic bullet. However, whatever I or anyone else tell you is pretty much meaningless because the most important aspect of this inquiry is how do you feel about the reliability of what you have at hand. You have already expressed doubts by asking the question to begin with and confirming that by keeping a " mag of fmj " nearby. Use the fmj, you seem to feel better about that.

I don't think those are felonies. There may be degrees of those crimes ranging from disorderly to felony. Need the input from a current NJ LEO.

Light weight also means more recoil. After letting them try a steel and alloy frame gun of the same type, most newer shooters would choose to deal with the weight rather than the recoil.

If you get a spent shell stuck in the chamber during a fight, the most expeditious way of clearing it is to grab the fore end with both hands and with the muzzle pointed up smack the butt against the ground as hard as you can. I have seen S&W and Ithaca single action bar shotguns bend the action bar doing this. Bend it enough to disable the gun. Not all the time, not even most of the time, but enough to give it consideration. You then have a club instead of a gun. I've seen a lot more 870s cleared in this and have never seen action bars getting bent. Not condemning single action bar shotguns but something to consider.

No reason to be sorry. I didn't think you were insinuating anything and your point is valid. However, there are many people who think magazine capacity is everything and are not disciplined enough to learn how to use a revolver.
