The only thing with Jim is you can only buy used guns from GunBroker and other auction sites. He won't do sales of new guns. He says you should buy new from him.

It looks like he had inventory at some point but now he only does transfers. For a small hardware store, he does a lot of transfers. It must be due to the low fees.

What exactly are his fees? Give him a call. I think he was charging $25.

This is the FFL I use: Bruce Smith, Sr. Lincoln Park True Value Hardware 206 Main St, Lincoln Park, NJ 07035 973-694-1150 His fees are amoung the lowest around and he is dependable. I have used him many times. Oh...Welcome to the forum! Check out USPSA at Shongum sometime.

Check out CZ rifles. They are good rifles for the price.

The same thing happened to me on a Sunday about three weeks ago a Shongum. Route 80 East was shut down when someone flipped a tractor trailer. You would think we could catch a break with traffic on a Sunday.

I put in two orders using the $20 coupon. My friend and I ordered shotgun ammo last month and it shipped with no problems. The MFS 2000 ammo on sale for $9.99/box of 50. I have heard good things about it. Let us know how you like it. It will be testing mine next weekend.

Now I know what you mean about the cocking a 15%. Yes, there is a "half cock" on the trigger that will be released when you use the safety/decocker. I have the same set-up with the D-spring and Hogue grips. The Hogue grips fit my bigger-than-average hands. The vertical cuts in the front part of the frame on the grip feel like they are cutting into my hand. The Hogue covers the cuts and gives a much better hold and feel.

Mine functioned the same as before the installation, only the DA was a little lighter. Did you follow this video? http://www.beretta92fs.com/ I would take out the D spring and install the factory. Check the function. Re-install the D spring to see if it still functions the same. If you are still worried, bring it to a gunsmith. It could be a bad spring. You are correct in not using it if you feel it is not functioning properly.

Trap, skeet or sporting clays? You may want to move this thread to the shotgun forum. I see a similar thread there. For trap, the Browning BT-99 is popular.

Since the Browning is a single action, it cannot be in production which is why it is not on the list. FYI - You can disconnect a magazine safety and still be legal in production. As for Limited 10, shoot what you have and buy something later, if needed. In the beginning, you are just getting a feel for the sport. Once you get good, then start thinking about winning and a different pistol.

This is a Level I match so bring your own ammo. We do not sell ammo, match or otherwise. Four is the minimum but five or six would be better. If you drop a mag due to a malfunction, it's nice to have a couple back-ups. You can get by with four mag pouches, just keep your first mag in your hand or pocket.

There is no minimum age. However, the shooter must be able to safety handle a firearm. The Range Officer will determine if the shooter is qualified.

Dave and I always watch the weather on a Friday before a match. We knew it was going to be cancelled.

Wow, you were fast with that post. The match has been cancelled due to the weather. Let's hope for a mild January 2nd. Troy: Now you can shoot the January match.

No problem. I tried not to panic anyone. I have not been to that club so I don't know the pits from the main range. I was just passing on an email I thought people should know about. Looks like everyone is up to speed now.

Tell Karen when you sign up. She will take care of it. See you Saturday and dress warm. It looks like it will be cold with a chance of snow showers.

bobtimmons: PM me for any info.

I received the following email: Shooters, This Sunday's steel match at Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club will be the last match until March, 2010. As of Monday, 12/7/2009, the pits will be closed for renovation and lead removal. It is anticipated that the work will be completed in February. We'll let you know as we get closer to completion, when we can resume USPSA matches. We look forward to seeing you on the new, improved ranges next year. Happy holidays and a Happy New Year to all of you. Vlad, Matt, and Nik Central Jersey USPSA Co-match directors.

223lover: PM me for info.

I see Troy beat me to the punch. I also live in Parsippany so you might talk me into meeting you at Hercules or Shongum.

Ahhh...too bad. Let's hope for a mild day for January. See you Saturday.

Is there going to be a briefing with the incorporated rifle stage? Yes. Once the regular match is finished, we set up the rifle stage and have a walk through. The safety rules are the same as the regular match. Just watch the shooter ahead of you and ask questions. Not sure what to do with the rifle when I get there. Once the rifle stage is set up, bring your CASED rifle to the safety table. Uncase the rifle and open the action. With muzzle up, carry it to the rack.

Roger: I look forward to meeting you. Remember to get there BEFORE 9:00AM. Let Karen, who is in charge of signing up everyone, know you are a first time competitor. You have to go through the safety check which is: draw, fire two shots, reload, fire two shots, unload and show clear, hammer down and holster. Ask for me, I will give you some help and you can be on my squad. Mike D.

Most are AR-15 clones but a couple of us shoot the Beretta CX4 Storm. My uses the same magazines as the 92FS. Typically, one of the pistol stages will be used with a few changes such as some long shots.
