  1. I knew we would hear from this guy. I was at the 2x4 match in the afternoon. I usually run the safety briefing at Shongum so I guess I will see you at the next match on 10th of September. and Welcome to the club! PS: I have a 92FS holster, pouches and belt all set up for USPSA if you want to borrow it. I'm just sayin'.
  2. I think I will go. See you there. Ronnie says it is on.
  3. montecristo345 beat me to the Sierra Papa link. I have the 9mm and use it for USPSA rifle stages. We had a CQ stage last month and it was cool. Here's the video:
  4. Ha! I remember buying cases of Winchester Wildcats at Service Merchandise for $0.74 a box.
  5. Check Black River in Morris County has a range but I think you need a hunting license. You could also shoot a shotgun stage at USPSA at Shongum. Heck, shoot the pistol stages while you're there.
  6. I will be there after 12:00PM. I am helping Ron and Ralph assemble the second USPSA trailer at Shongum in the morning. If anyone knows Howard, remind him to bring my Glock magazine.
  7. FYI - Ron Guman, the Match Director for Shongum, says to vote for Phil Stader. Ron knows what's going on so I am listening to him.
  8. Bring 200 rounds. Like Ron said, you will have misses (especially if there are steel plates and poppers) and if you have a re-shoot on a long stage.
  9. Just because you disagree with it and even if it is illegal, you don't get to take the law into your own hands. If they are breaking the law, call a cop. "I mean if some company was dumping crap in your town with permission under false pretenses would you allow it?" I would notify the proper authorities. I don’t start throwing fire bombs at the building.

    I didn't say I knew for sure. I was thinking it MIGHT hurt the harmonics or some other effect on accuracy. Like I said, it won't improve accuracy. The thing I did not think about was if it comes loose and gets launched down range. Now I would never get one.

    I have pretty much the same set up only a Tasco Red dot and a cheap front grip. I put in the SierraPapa trigger, hammer, reduced power hammer spring, stainless steel guide rod, and bolt to recoil spring. http://www.sierrapapacx4.com/ I reload 124g. with Power Pistol which is a good powder for the Beretta sub-carbine. Very accurate and at the USPSA matches, I can shoot with the best of the ARs at 50 yards. I don't like the shroud as it is just for show, scratches the barrel and can only hurt accuracy.
  12. PM me with your email address and I will send you the study guide for the USPSA Introduction Class. It will give you a lot of information and make your first match much easier and enjoyable. Be sure to get there before 9:00AM and ask for Mike as you will need to go through a safety briefing.

  14. The pistol match is 110 rounds. Registration is 9:30AM. If you are a new shooter, be there before 9:00AM. Help with setting up and packing up is always needed and appreciated. There will be a rifle side stage after the pistol match is packed up for those who wish to stay. It will be time permitting. It is 32 rounds. We will provide the score sheet and take payment at the start of the side stage. NOTES: - Ron will be on vacation and will not be at the August Match. Ralph needs help with setting up early. Please let Ron know by return email if you can to get to the range around 7:00 AM and help Ralph and the gang. - If you plan to attend, reply to Ron Guman at [email protected] and let him know by Thursday 8AM. - If you are new and need the safety briefing be there by 9am and see Ralph, Karen or Mike. - If the match is cancelled for weather, I will send out an email notification around 5pm on Friday. We have been requested by our Area Director to participate in a fund raiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. Information is posted on the Area 8 website http://www.uspsa8.org/wounded-warrior-project. We will have a donation bucket at the registration table throughout the summer month. If you wish to contribute, please do so and Ron will forward. SEPTEMBER MATCH!!! The September match will be the second Saturday in September, the 10th
  15. Frank: I got a good deal on an H&K USP Compact in .45ACP. Pretty much the same dimensions as a G19 but with eight to ten rounds of .45 extra goodness. I shot it for the first time a Cherry Ridge last week. Very accurate for a compact. The LC9 is going to be my "summer" gun.
  16. I am usually at the pistol range Sundays but I have to show an FNG the USPSA ropes at Shongum.
  17. The LC9 is what I plan to buy. Here's why: - 9mm is cheaper and more powerful than .380 - locking action rather than blow back which means less recoil - it's thinner than a G26 or the Kimber Solo - it has a pinky extension on the base pad if you want it. - the prices on the Kimber Solo are outrageous as it just came out Jim Flynn has the LC9 for $330.
  18. Not to worry. I knew that if I did run across the location, I would have to keep it hush hush. I would love to know the location just so I can see how close it is to me. Plus I am in real estate so I have a predisposition toward curiosity with anything to do with real estate. Like I said, we will just have to wait.
  19. I know that street and thought it might be there. Too bad since this is within three miles of my house. However, the RTSP space has a dirt floor and the buildings on that street are existing construction. Besides, the windows don't match. I think you are close area wise as the phone number is in Whippany. We will just have to wait.
  20. Good call Tony357. I will be sure to do that when I get my LC9. Right now I am watching the calendar(OGAM).
  21. This is why it's better to say nothing anqd never consent to a search as per Evan Nappen. The law says you have to go to and from the range without unnecessary deviations. If you said you were going to pick up your friend, you just admitted you were going to break the law. Plus, lying to a police office is a crime. I think it's called interferring with the administration of justice. Disclaimer: I could be totally wrong here. Always seek legal advice from an attorney.
  22. I think the problem is the laws are unclear and you may have an officer that arrests you and figures you can sort things out at the police station. If you think the police know the laws, in my town, Parsippany, a 19-year old was arrested and taken to the police station and charged with the illegal possession of a firearm for an AIR SOFT pistol. That's right AIR SOFT, not a pellet pistol. I go along with the "better safe than sorry crowd" in this state (PRNJ). PS: Here's the article if you think I am full of it: http://parsippany.patch.com/articles/lake-hiawatha-man-with-airsoft-pistol-charged-with-handgun-possession The ironic part is he had a loaded magazine!
  23. Let us know what happens. I am looking to buy an LC9 but I am worry as it is new and has no track record.
  24. Right now I'm looking at an LC9 but my friend is talking me into an LCP also. Is there anyway to have this party at Cherry Ridge? Bring your pocket gun to the 2x4 match on the 13th of August?
