I like the Federal Blue Box Target loads. They are hard to find right now, but they shoot nice. I have some Dynapoints, but have not shot them yet. The CCI Mini Mag HP's shoot real well in my old 144LSB

Just an idea. If you liked the 1911 style, I have heard good things about The Rock Island Armory Tactical 45. They run around $400 at Sarco's up in Sterling. You can always get a conversion kit for a 22 as well.

Rimfires can be finicky when dirty. I worked on a friends S&W 622 recently. It was misfiring 2-3 times in each mag. The bolt had carbon built up around the extractor and edge of the bolt face. It was preventing the bolt from completely mating with the end of the brass. Which was causing a thousanths of an inch gap between the rim and bolt resulting in not enough firing pin pressure. Wow I rambled. In short, try a good cleaning.

I agree with Maksim, if it is just ok, you will not be happy. With the hassel of getting permits everytime you buy it is not like other states where you walk in and buy a pistol. What are you looking to spend?

Anyone?

It is nice to see the interest in taking courses for safety and proper use of your firearm. Years ago it was the responsability of the family to teach safety and marksmanship. As time went on that practice started to die off. It shows a great deal of maturity and the ability to leave your ego behind to seek help in learning the basics and becoming more competent. And most important, exercising your constitutional rights to do so.

The Battleship was pretty amazing. The guns were a sight to watch. I remember one day we were doing a dependent cruise and met up with the Missouri. I was on the front of the ship looking back, the Mo was behind us and we did an 18 gun broadside. It was truly an amazing sight. Those boats were awe inspiring to look at.

I have read in a few articles how first time gun owners are increasing after the election. Who here has just bought their first and what is your level of shooting experience? Scouts, Military, Family? Also, if you have been shooting for a while what training have you recieved? Miltary, LE, Scouts, schools? I'll start I have been shooting 22's since I was 8. Recieved USMC rifle training in basic, and regular rifle training for infantry. More intimate training with a .45 and 12ga in the Marine Corps Security Forces School and became an NRA Certified Rifle and Pistol Instructor a few years ago. Although work and logistics has kept me from doing any formal training outside of friends and family. How about you?

How about Garand thumb?

For hunting you need a Hunters safety course. Go to NJ Fish and game website and they will have the info you need. As far as private property, go for it. Some towns have zoning maps for shooting. If you are in a farm in Millstone and they shoot on their property regularly, you should have no problem.

Having 2 kids and a wife that enjoy 22's, I try to keep 3-4k on hand. It goes quickly when we hit the range.

I almost forgot about Rimfirecentral.com. Anything you need to know about a .22 is there.

Since discovering this forum, I tend to spend most of my time here now. I do not know if it is the fact we are all from Jersey and there is the possibility of meeting and shooting together or we all understand the wacky laws. I have noticed a higher level of civility here as well. I know we are all still new here and welcoming each other but I have not read any rude posts. Is it the fact we might be each others neighbor? Or we have probably and will continue to shoot next to one another. Even if we meet. I am opinionated and sarcastic, but you will get over that. The thought that I am talking/helping/learning from my fellow shooters in my state keeps me interested. The idea that we may be able to unite and affect change in the state is promising. What do you think?

From my experiences if you are admiring someone elses gun at the range, they will let you shoot it. I know I am more than happy to show off my guns and allow others to shoot. I have been lucky enough for shooters to do that for me and I just try to pass it along.

I think the negative reporting on every issue that happens as well as the indifference to our politicians actions has people numb. When you turn on the tv and all you hear and see is the world going to hell, while the wealthy seem to do anything and get bailed out at the drop of a hat. Couple that with narsacistic paranoia and the loss of your job, house or family and the atmosphere is ripe for tragedy. And the media will latch on to anything that furthers their ideology.

The Serpa seems like a very nice holster. The XD is a fine pistol.

Welcome, what do you like to shoot?

HBWC seat flush with the case. Some people crimp DEWC in the top crimp groove, I seat them flush with good results. As long as your load is not at the max loading I would try the same load. You may find that you need to adjust charges because the bullets are different. HBWC are designed to seal the barrel as they shoot. Good luck

I fondled the one in BA yesterday. I like them. It felt very solid in the shoulder and has had some very good reviews. I have a Kel Tec Sub 2000 in 9mm. It is a fun little carbine.

I did't notice any but I was not on the lookout for them. The only flyers I saw were on the checkout counter at CMO and that was for Chinese food.
