ATF Sting Operation?
ATF, or CCP? Lots of the glock switches and lightning links style DIASs are from alibaba vendors and such. If there's zero consequence to them and it costs them $1.25 of materials and labor, why not ship in stuff that is disruptive? Heck if you are really organized you can escalate the problem then drop the dime on your customers to try to spark conflict.

Price drop Wts ruger 3913 9mm pistol lady smith
You might want to drop ruger form the post title, it's confusing since you aren't selling a ruger.

Traveling out in and out of EWR - now with PTC
1) they are a common carrier, and once in possession of the common carrier, handling is not generally considered a transfer. Doe the new law recognize that? No, but nobody is likely to do anything due to federal law and supremacy, especially since if it is hitting an airport it is going interstate. The transfer occurs outside of a transportation hub. 2) Assuming the transportation hub thing is referring to transporting people, air freight has a separate terminal to the passenger terminals, so there'd probably be issues even with regard to the law as written being applicable at least now that we live in a post people's express world.

Did You Miss The ELE Sunday March 12?
Two things to keep in mind in that article. First is that the telegraph system used thin wires over long distances. This made a giant antenna. The second thing is that for the most part, things were not destroyed, and when it stopped, they went back to working. Most of the issue was people getting shocked from things they expected not to have a charge, some equipment damage, and mostly communications disruption due to the charge caused by the solar flare in the wires impairing transmission. However, in many cases transmission was still possible, but impaired. What happened then wouldn't necessarily be what happens now. For example small electronics probably won't be toast. They probably would just crash like they got zapped with a HERF gun. Additionally, infrastructure won't just get randomly zapped. Unlike then, we have multiple solar observation satellites to give us warning, and steps can be taken to mitigate vulnerability. So the difference between the best case and worst case is likely to rely on human performance to a great degree, which could be good or terrible. Also, if you pay attention to astronomy or even just lightweight science news, this solar event was covered in various ways ranging from isn't this neat to the sun's gunna splode!

Current NICS Wait?
Like three years now. Can't moot it if you attach monetary damages. Have you ever taken a day off to go pick up a gun during business hours and had NICS screw you? Sounds like monetary damages to me.

How'd you get glocks in 1978 when they were introduced in 1982. And that's if you were working with the austrian army. As for OP's problem, I'd look at cartrtidge overall length vs. mag length/depth. My guess is the tip of the cartridge is dragging, and this is not a problem with FMJ, but is with the polymer filled tip. Normally I'd be with you that it's a mag problem, but given the current state of the ammo industry, QC issues are much more likely, so I wouldn't rule out ammo issues as well.

Muzzle break, is it NJ legal?
It's likely a shitty comp, but a comp. Advertised as a comp, and uses vertical jetting of gasses when the bullet obturates the bore. IT also has no real features that would reduce muzzle flash. That doesn't mean some schmuck with a badge won't go by the pinky test. Probably a bigger issue is if that is for a rifle, make sure it is steel, because pin and weld and silver solder will potentially be problematic with aluminum.

- Do NJ hollow point restrictions apply to bullets, or only loaded ammunition?
That is incorrect. FOPA protects someone passing through a state. At the origin and destination state, you are bound by state laws. But if you are moving, you are in theory traveling from one residence to another residence. Which is exempted in NJ. Alternately, if you don't like that, pick a range near the new place and if you do manage to get pulled over in NJ, that's where you are going.- Magtech 9mm $0.24/rd shipped
I remember being able to get a 1200 round case of S&B for $99 shipped. But that was like 1999.- What's up with gold colored rounds?
The answer is going to be specific to the particular ammo, and require more info on what you are talking about about "flaking". Seldom is the jacket of an actually jacketed round pure copper, but rather an alloy. For some ammo, the jacket is actually brass. Typically a brass alloy identical to the case material. For those that specify, they usually refer to this as gilding metal jackets. If the manufacturer can manufacture both cases and jackets from the base stock (usually metal ribbon where they punch planchets out of it), it reduces cost due to economies of scale (i.e. they can negotiate better prices when they buy more). These will not flake. Montana gold bullets are a good example of this. Also sometimes RMR bullets uses gilding metal. Then you have plated lead bullets. These will look like copper because they are copper. The chemical plating process requires copper. In general these won't flake, but can under certain circumstances. Then you have plated steel jackets. This is a soft mild steel plated with something that resembles gilding metal. S&B has skus like this. I haven't used them and have no idea if they flake. But all the examples I know of are cheaper eastern european ammo, so ZSR would be a candidate for them. They often tend to use steel cases that have been plated to look like brass. Which brings us back to the flaking. Do you have pics? Because it is not uncommon for there to be brass dust in the fouling on a gun with any brass cased ammo. It comes from the action of feeding a round and the minor scraping that occurs on the cartridge. But it tends to look like someone took a file to brass, not flakes, with the naked eye. I'd take a magnet to the cartridge, both projectile and case, and pick up some of the casings after use to see if the plating is scraped off.- Glass Beading Shop
I figured that's what you were trying to do. Maybe ask the modern materiel guys. They started off as FFLs doing firearm finishes as a side project from automotive coatings. The shop was in Keyport though, not up north. If they can't hook you up directly, they probably know what your options are.- Glass Beading Shop

Both. I think it will be edited down to try and paint the gop in as negative a light as possible while ignoring the dnc people involved.- The Concealed Carry Experience....
It's not your finger, it's foreign objects that are largely the concern. Like this thing on my jacket.- The Concealed Carry Experience....
Yeah if you want to see the potential hazard you'd need to see it from behind. It varies with light/gun combo and how each holster is made. They don't expose the triger visually, but effectively leave a tunnel on each side that things can get in. The gap is pretty significant with some holsters for some gun/light combos.- The Concealed Carry Experience....
The big concern that is showing up broadly these days are holsters meant for guns with lights installed. Mostly because they leave a significant gap around the trigger guard to clear the lights, but things can get in those gaps. The toggles on coat cinches are trying to kill you.- Pot Ruled Not Disqualification For Firearms
You focus too much on the breathalyzer because it is well known. Alcohol isn't thee only drug, and DUIs have been handed out for those other drugs. The roadside tests DO hold more clout than you think they do in court. Mainly because their primary measure is impairment. The mechanisms used to measure impairment tend to be impacted across many types of drugs. https://nida.nih.gov/international/abstracts/validity-standardized-field-sobriety-test-in-detecting-drug-impairment Typically when not dealing with alcohol, step two after the roadside test is to call in a trained officer to do an assessment for what substance they are impaired with. The issue with weed and driving in NJ is mostly a problem created by the state in that they forbid officers from investigating further based on the most likely cues that the driver or passengers may be impaired from marijuana.- 3 Gun Intro Questions/Advice
On optics. 1) Louu likes sfp, but his statement isn't true that nobody uses FFP. There are people rocking FFP in the top half. I can't fathom where he's getting the notion that one is faster or slower than the other. As typically with either, you are picking your maginification for the stage and either sticking with it, or smacking it to full power at some point. Or the opposite, picking your power and then smacking it to 1x for the up close stuff. I mean I KNOW there are people who finish real high up there nationally and were rocking S&B short dots, and those are FFP. But that bein said, FFP and SFP are really like 3rd or 4th in priority. A reticle you can aim with in bright daylight, and a forgiving eye box are king here. Which is why the vortex razor gen 2 HD is still so dominant. It has a daylight visible dot and a probably the best combo of glass and eyebox and power out there for under $3000. It being good is probably why you don't see FFP taking more of the top slots. Related, almost everyone I have seen get the vortex 1-10 has sold it on. It's too much magnification for the game really, and brings other negatives with it to get it. IMO, there's really only two consistent optics to get. The vortex mentioned above, or the trijicon 1-8x credo. The trijicon is FFP, a bit more magnification, a decent eye box, and probably most significantly goes on some sick sales. Like $900. 2) Shotgun. Shotgun is a reloading game right up until you get faster at reloads. spend your money on shell holders and learn to load quads. Once you can load quads you'll definitely need a semi auto. But at most matches, your slow reloads will outweigh the delta between having a pump and a semi. When you go semi, the inertia guns rule, and it's for a reason. I don't miss gas gun problems one bit. 3) ditching the m9. You can shoot anything, especially if you are slow. However, there is small advantage to a striker fired gun with no external safety when it comes to not screwing yourself when putting your pistol in a dump bucket. Slide mounted external safeties are the worst on that spectrum. It is not a huge thing though. Like generally half a second on a stage unless that one more thing toe remember is just too much for you brain. The 320 has more options to make it just right for you with a good trigger. I will add to louu's suggestion to shoot what you got. I'd check out shotshell caddies at your first match and buy once cry once. Like I have about $850 in a stoeger m3k, and about $500 in caddies. About $900 in caddies if you include my attempts to be cheap about it.- NJ LAWMAKERS ANNOUNCE PLANS TO DESTROY RIGHT TO CARRY

The problem with that is NY is the one who does the asking. Both historically and from NY's perspective of the national power dynamic. Fundamentally they believe it is all about the whims of CA and NY, period. NY being worse from a political and judicial perspective. That's why they are always trying to make an end run around FTC and SEC behavior. CA pushes media influence and EPA/FDA end runs.- Joe Biden is coming for your "assault weapons."
Assuming it is just reusing the last one, it's CA style for rifles. NJ assualt pistol definition but add threaded muzzle as a forbidden feature. An assault shotgun that is not logically parseable, but is an attempt tpo take the NJ version and add in any detachable magazine is a nono.
