Welcome to the group

Welcome

Very nice, some of the early XD's had a problem with surface rust because of the finish. 0000 steel wool and hoppes is the way to go.

STI double stack?

You also should keep the safe off of an outside wall. That is where the biggest temperature change will occur. If you look at Cabelas, they have a buch of humidity control gadgets.

Welcome, there is no cure for the bug. Soon enough you will be able to justify anything you think you may need. And if your wife is hooked, it is twice the collection.

144 and growing, it is on the main page under statistics. Just keep spreading the word.

It all depends on your town.

There is something very calming about white walls, especially when you get a nifty little jacket and padding. :?

Welcome from Howell

Very cool. We have several Ospreys and a nesting pair of Bald Eagles at the Manasquan Resevior.

Untill then, I can complete numerous tasks by being completely immobile. My room would be quite convenient for a parapallegic. lol It does not matter how much room you have. you will buy more stuff and cramp it right back up.

I hate those boating accidents. I was foolish enough to take my guns on a sit on top kayak in 5 foot swells.

Very nice. Good description and pictures. Especially the part about having to do this at a friend or relatives in PA.

Now I want a new AR, you guys stink. :x

Welcome, I love your area of NJ, we regularly go to Stanhope.

The competition between them and Brick Armory seems like it will pay of for the consumer.

That looks fun, is there a number of rounds or caliber limit?

If I may make one suggestion, there is a market in NJ that is grossly overlooked. Women Set up your shop to bring them in. When my wife and I go gun shopping it is all about how she is treated. If the salesman talks to me to relay info to her or assumes she is not familiar because she is a woman, we leave. I have heard quite a few women say they will not shop in a store because they feel intimidated or have been talked down to. Do not worry about scaring guys away, it is a gun shop and they will come.

This is an all out assault on the traditional American values. Am I allowed to use the word assault or is it too harsh? How about it is an Obamanation.

That is sweet, I want one.

I too hope the civility remains as we grow. I suspect it will, especially if there are groups that get together regularly to shoot. I look forward to meeting more of the members as time goes on. By reading some of the posts in here, I frequent quite a few of the same places as others. We have probably even spoke. Hopefully I was nice. :?

He does look pleased with himself.

Yeah, then you take an extended cleaning course. Taking a basic safety course is a good thing. Especially if you have questions or are uncomfortable. You will learn to handle a misfire and hangfire. It will teach you the basics and if it makes you comfortable, then it is worth the money. As Ben said, learn the 4 rules and practice, practice, practice. If you adhere to the 4 rules you will always exercise safety.

I have heard bad things about their gunsmith in the old place. They have a better one now? I will have to inquire the next time I am there.
