I had it's sibling the M9 as one of my first handguns when I started shooting again about 10 years ago. It was a nice shooting guns, I like the trapezoid sights and it got back on target real quick. I traded it after about 6 month because there were no 15rd mags for it nor holsters back then, Clinton era BS. Traded it on a XD in .40 and regretted it two months later when I decided I did not like the XD. Always thought about getting another, but the prices for the M9A1 were pushing $600 last year... I paid $300 for my M9 IIRC. Shoot it... you might like it. Way more comfortable then a glock, and I like glocks.

The second amendment gives teeth to all the others.

Tony... I had a Stevens 311 that would do that. Got it fixed after I discovered the issue. I dropped it in my storage room while cleaning it. I had closed it and set the safety, then it slipped out of my left hand and the butt hit the tile floor pretty hard. Thankfully unloaded, but I heard a noticable click of a firing pin moving. Checked the lock, then safety and both were still on, but the pin had "fired". Reset triggers, set safety and dropped the butt again... yep same thing. Smith changed all springs in gun and that seems to fix issue. I then traded it to him on another shotgun as I was wary of it from then on. I bet that gentleman in Salem Co. was shooting a Superposed as I have heard of this happening with that gun more then I like.

Maks I figured as it is used more for comp I would imagine. Dont get me wrong here... it was very very nice 1911 and my choice came down to $$$.

Both of those guns were on my short list ( in .45acp) just recently and I can give you my POV. I was able to lay hands on a Smith Pro .45 out in Pa last month. It was very nice, but I noticed some slop in the frame fit, very little. It was heavier then expected due to SS frame and slide. It had the darn Smith and Wesson firing pin safety and was about $1400. I passed as I was not looking to spend THAT much money. The STI has been so well reviewed and many feel that they are the best value under 1K in 1911s. I could not find one anywhere to finger #$%^ so I was flying blind. I contacted a dealer in Ohio that had the Trojan with Ambi controls and novak night sites. It was just over 1k. I held off because I wanted to hold one or shoot one first. In the end I went with neither. I was able to go shooting with a work friend and his SIG STX 1911. I really liked that gun and it was brutally accurate. The uppe level SIGS have an ambi safety, magwells and novak night sites, but a 80s fps which I dont like, but it can be worked with. Now the STX is too pretty for me, so I ended up shopping the Scorpion against the TacOps and went with the TACOPS because it was less fancy looking, curved trigger and 4 mags (versus 2 for the scoprion) for only $30 more. As soon as my PPP shows I pick it up.

$5001 and it is totaled.

These reports always blow. A innocent man most likely havin his life turned updside down by NJs stupid, arbitrary, confusing and punitive firearm laws. And I will add that they prob did not catch the supect in the hit and run because all of Phillipsburgs LEO were otherwise busy on location to take down this rampaging criminal. Officers need to stop arresting people for this stuff. Waste of time.

I love the instant tactical solutions to a non existent problem. Ray... evade and cover baby just evade and cover.

I am not sure what you mean by "came from the factory like this ...?". Do you mean the 18.5 barrel? The shiny over varnished stock? I will tell you what I know about those shotguns. FIE was one of many brazilian arms manufacturers that never made it. The gun you have there is prob one of the most prolific guns in south america and central america. There is prob one on evey farm, every ranch, at every mine, in every hut in every village in the amazon basin. Even the tribal clans still existing in the jungle use them to hunt monkeys. Reliable... prob not. Easy to fix, yes. 12g is gauge or shell size... it will take up to a 3" or magnum 12g shell. You are ok shooting 2.75" shells from it. Modified is the choke or constriction of the muzzle in the barrel. But with a 18.5" barrel you might not see a difference. Get out and pattern it, shoot a bunch of shells at 30 circles on paper and many times and learn where that thing puts the majority of it's shoot stream. Looks like a good hd gun. Learn to use it with two or three more shells held between the fingers of your support hand so as to reload quickly.

here we go again......

Just ordered a Tacops.... same gun different finish and curved trigger versus the scorpions straight trigger. Comes with 4 mags also. Have not taken delivery yet and am dying waiting. I mistimed my ppps and it is killing me.

by the way.... go to Bulls Eye Gun Range and Shop in Lawrenceville, rent yourself a Class 3 weapon and have some fun. I bet they would sell you a long gun to you.

I had many and never had a problem with them

People go along to make things easier for others, with no return for them. Is it really going to speed the process up? I have no faith that their statement will of fact will pan out. Why are the 30day limits not being adherred to? Is it because of too many demands being made for paperwork... BS. I just ranted in the other thread about going along with needless requests. I hate that my town requires a notary now... which I arqued with the CofPD with and the mayor this past summer. But we found a way around it... the twp employees will perform it for people when they drop off the forms and sign them there. If the towns really wanted to solve the issues and save the money... remove the FID and PPP obligation. No more problems, let the FBI handle it. Done.

Recessed... your call and I am prob going to tick you off and I dont mean to single you out because there are plenty of people on this board that have this same issue. If you dont stand up for yourself on a little issue like this, and be willing to deal with any petty consequence the powers that be try to inflict, when will you stand up? When your freedom is at stake? When our families safety is in question? How will you know when and what to do? Too many times I hear ".. I think it will be better if I just follow along so I can get my PPP faster." Sorry but my sense of pride is larger then my need for quick materialistc fullfillment. Call the SP and then hand in your forms and tell them you called the SP for the very reason as your paystub is private and is not required. I do not want to pick a fight here... I am giving you one old man who hates what the state does to the citizens of NJ, opinion. Rant off and fire away.

I live in Cherry Hill, welcome. I used to run around that area alot on business with the twps and if I remember correctly there is NO firearm discharge prohibition on private property in Franklin Twp. You can check here on the Municipal Code website (http://www.ecode360.com/FR0192) I would call local PD Chief also and invite him out to see your property and where you intend to shoot, displaying the berms and angles away from homes. A little preventive medicine might go a long way here. By the way, if you need any labor in exchange for access to shooting area just let me know. I have another close friend that we are collectovely looking for a range where we can do drills and transitions without being questioned by understably strict ROs. I would love to help you setup your area if you need some help and add another shooting buddy to the group.

No go at Bass Pro. Tried to buy a Beretta 3901 at the Harrisburg store. No joy. If you're in Lawrenceville, I lived there a few years when I bought my first house, you must go to the Little Barn Biscuits for breakfast takeout one day (60 East Pike Street, Lawrenceville, GA) for a sausage and egg or chicken biscuit. In Atlanta??? go to Nuevo Laredo for great mexican (140 Chatthoochee Ave, Atlanta) get the molle chicken. Go to the aquarium and then Ann's Snack Bar (1615 Memorial Dr Atlanta), and get one of the best burgers you will ever have. But be warned... you must read the sign outside and follw Miss Ann's (the owner) rules or get a scolding. This is not the nicest side of town... but the ghetto burger is worth. Leave about 30 minutes to wait to order, 30 to wait for food to be cooked and 30 to eat it. Dont be in a rush. There is no bathroom, remember that.

I personally love the idea but I have no juice here.

Midway sells ammo to NJ. Never had a problem. OP must be in NW corner if PK is two hours away. Heck he is 30 minutes from my house and there are closer LGS, but he gets my business because he is such a charmer. The CZs are advertised on the CZUSA site as 16 rd because the mag is 15+1 in the chamber. Mags are 15rds... perfectly legal.

Why would that matter? How would self employed, indepentently wealthy and poor prove this... so now we have caste system requirement? This pisses me off because this is one of the tenents behind the 2A our founding fathers discussed... that self defense was not a privilege of the wealthy or the landed. Refuse. Call State PD ASAP. They dont need to know how much you make or if you are working or for whom.

This_is_NASCAR is right... sometimes as a uyer you have to do what you have to do. And CTD just might have a NO NJ SALES policy on handguns... although I cant find it. Try Gunbroker and a FFL transfer. This one is under $500 with less then 16hrs remaining. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=261851961 The 85b is a great CZ to start with, especially for lefties. It makes me mad how popular they have gotten here in the states now. I remember buying my first CZ85 Combat for $420... the CZ85b for $350.

Because most rescues will not take animals from individuals only shelters. Most shelters will inly take animals from animal control or Leo. Keeps dump offs down.

Herschel and family are pacifists. Wont kill a living or undead. That's his problem is my guess.

Maks.... please explain further. Not getting the connection.

I love the 10mm... but found it to be irrelevant for me here in NJ. Not too many bears or wild pigs in south jersey NOR opportunities for me to carry a handgun while bird hunting. It is the perfect mountain caliber and the G20 platform is the perfect mate to the round.
