So you have a live round in the chamber and another coming out of the magazine?

Are you talking about a failure to feed (round not completely chambering and slide not going into battery) or double feed (two rounds coming out of the magazine)?

Double feeds are usually a magazine problem to my experience. JMO

I buy mine at the PX or Amazon. Amazon has more different manufacturers. Buy a dozen and they're less than $2 each from Amazon.

Federal a 01 or 07. 07 let's you do all the things an 01 does and also allows you to be a manufacturer. NJ would want you to get a dealer's and manufacturers license.

Most gunsmiths don't make much. Maybe 40k a year. If you'really highly skilled and specialize in something people want you can make more. You would probably need to apprentice yourself to an established gunsmith or attend a school to start. There are resident schools around. I think there is one in PA. To go into business yourself there is a significant outlay for machinery and tools. You also need the business sense to go out on your own. Not trying to burst your bubble. Just trying to make you aware of what you're getting into. Google

I wait until they're on sale for 3.99. Usually need the coupon.

Ok

No trolling.

With or without a lawyer I'm pretty sure he's going to have to do my #1 and #2. I've never heard of an arrest warrant being revoked unless there were very extenuating circumstances. There may be but you're still going to need the judge to revoke the warrant and dismiss the case. The court clerk was correct in what they told the OP about reducing the fine. They weren't being a jerk IMO. Just trying to let the OP know this probably won't be settled by just paying a fine. If there was some error by the court that would be taken into consideration.

Being there is a warrant issued you can't just pay the fine. The warrant was issued because you didn't just pay the fine like a parking ticket. You need to do this before the court date on the parking ticket. I don't know if this was a just a "pay the fine" violation. I would think its not. The violation might have a mandatory and/or maximum penalty. The judge would determine in court what your penalty was. I would think you need to go to, 1. Post the bail specified on the warrant. You probably need to do this in person. 2. Appear in court and enter a plea. The judge will determine your fine plus any contempt penalty for failure to appear for the original court date. The only out I see on this is if the cop who issued the summons has retired or is otherwise unavailable. I spent half a day once in court waiting to plea not guilty for a parking ticket I got on a broken meter. Cop didn't show and judge just dismissed it.

No classes required.

No semantics game. You said "some" that would mean a small amout.

I know he wasn't that's why there's the smiley face.

Okay but the only permanent thing is death.

By saying "some don't" shows what you want to believe. Apparently if "some don't" , most do as far as you're concerned.

I never said cops don't break the law at times. You seem to think all cops break the law all of the time.

If you don't know how take them to a FFL who does. Don't treat me like the enemy

Complaints and warrants don't expire. Once they are signed or issued they are good forvever until they are adjuticated in court.

You'd be hard pressed to find any magazine that can't be modified to 10 rds or less. Can anyone name one? So there is no separate magazines to register. Few guns with fixed magazines over 10 rds that aren't 22s which are exempt.

You can demand all you want but there is no provision in the law for that. The law says possession of magazines >10 rds is permitted at this time. This means in the home as has been discussed. The only exceptions are to transfer the magazines to an entity legal to possess them, render them inoperable or permanently modify them to 10 rds or less, or surrender them. AFAIK all seized firearms are turned over to the County Prosecutor's office until disposition. That would include seized magazines. Return of the magazines would constitute a transfer from police custody to the OP. There is no provision for that in the exceptions given above. The magazines became prima face contraband when they were seized. As far as "some cop" getting them destruction of seized property in NJ requires the custodian and two witnesses. Do you think 3 cops are going to risk their jobs over a couple of magazines? All government entities have provisions to convert seized property to their own use. If the magazines are converted to agency use yes some cop will get them. That's the way it is under the current law. I'm not necessarily supporting any of this. JMO of the situation as it is. Hiring lawyers and filing petitions is plain stupid. If you win you spent maybe a couple thousand dollars for a few magazines.

Don't worry about time when you're learning. Worry about technique. Good attitude you had in the Glock competition you participated. I heard something a long time ago which to my experience holds true. It takes 300-500 repetitions of something to learn it. Trigger pulls, sight alignment, holster draws, whatever. That means you know how to do but you have to think about it. It takes 3000-5000 repetitions before you learn something well enough it's instinctive, before it becomes second nature. This goes for anything not only shooting. That's why in martial arts one warms up practicing kicks, punches, etc. You do this thousands of times. Most disciplines require you to combine several skills. Grip, sight alignment, and trigger control with shooting for example. This is one of the reasons revolvers are not as popular as they once were. Yes there are many advantages a semiautomatic has. Many LE agencies found as a side benefit teaching recruits to shoot the semiautomatic was easier and took less training time. Many new shooters avoid the DA revolver due to "the long heavy trigger". They are looking for instant success and that's easier to achieve with a semiauto. More so with striker fired guns that come with 5-6 lb triggers from the factory. Speed of shooting? Semis can shoot more rounds but revolvers can shoot faster. The shooter has to wait (not long) for the semiauto to cycle. A revolver depends on how fast the shooter can pull the trigger. Proof? Every speed shooting record is done with a revolver. I talked about springs before. Some on this forum were surprised when they found out Miculek uses extra power springs in his revolvers as he wants reliable functioning. They also give him a heavier trigger pull but that's why they make muscle to overcome that. I'll give you odds that although Miculek's triggers are heavy they are slick and very smooth. When you learn to shoot a DA revolver well everything else is easy.

You can speed up the process by dry firing the gun DA about 1000 times. BE SURE GUN IS UNLOADED. Squirt a few drops of lube in the action by cocking the hammer and dropping the lube between the hammer and frame. You can use snap caps if you want but a GP100 really doesn't need them IMO. Pull the trigger as fast as you can until you can't do it anymore. The first time you might do 50 trigger pulls. On 10-14 days you'll be doing 100 at a time. BE SURE GUN IS IN SAFE DIRECTION WHEN YOU'RE DOING THIS. Dry firing it will not only smooth up the action bit also develop the muscles you need. Don't swap out springs unless you are going to use this as a game gun only. The Ruger will smooth up. Now when you go to the range use 38s. You're working on your DA pull and using magnums is a distraction. Pull the trigger slowly, don't try to shoot fast. As one experienced gunfighter told me "back steady, back steady, back steady, BOOM". Keep your trigger pull slow and steady and until the gun gets broken in you'll feel those "bumps and grinds" as you pull the trigger back. Use bullseye targets. They're more honest about your progress. Don't bother adjusting your sights until you're shooting about a 3" group at 7 yds. SA shooting is for precise shot placement usually at longer ranges over 25 yards and in target shooting. It has little application in combat shooting. Not sure where your interest is.

I do.

100 yard indoor range is nice to have available if you want to zero a rifle during the winter.
