No. The ammo should be in a locked cased. The firearm/s should also be in a separate case/s from the ammo. Dick's Sporting Goods has a single gun case for about $16 and a double for about $21. They also have an ammo case for less than $10. You can get inexpensive but strong combination locks at Home Depot. I like the kind with three or four wheels rather than the cheap dail type. This may be overkill but when it come to firearms, The New Jersey Appellate Court in State v. Pelletieri stated, " When dealing with guns the citizen acts at his peril."

Hello from Parsippany. We are available to answer any questions you have.

How about this? http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?co ... &src=ba811

I installed the Rocket in my Glock 22. The mushy trigger is gone and it is much crisper. I borrowed my friend's "Making Glocks Rock" DVD. The installation was easy but time consuming. The owner of Ghost, Inc,., Arthur, is a good guy and very helpful.

I don't need one right now but at some point I am sure I will. I used Paterson Gunsmithing on Main Street and he is usually good except for minor stuff like losing my gunsock.

There will be a match at the Shongum Sportmen's Association. Contact Ron Gumann if you plan to participate. Ron's email is: [email protected] You can just show up if you want to watch but bring eye and ear protection. There will be a shotgun side stage after the regular match. Shotgun stage will be 20 rounds, 7.5 size shot or smaller. For directions and more info go to Shongum's site: http://www.shongum.org/ UPDATE: 5/1 - The match will be held. Show up if interested.

I did it and yes it is open to anyone. You do not have to be a member. I shoot USPSA matches here: http://www.shongum.org/activities/ipsc.html This is a very good place to start as we welcome new comers and you don't have to be a member. Also check out the 2x4 fun matches at Cherry Ridge. The first one is April 11th. http://www.anjrpc.org/rangeschedule.htm

How about the Bridgewater club? http://somersetidpa.com/ They are a good place to start as they are good with new competitors.

I am sure you don't but here are the contacts just in case: http://www.worldclasssteel.com/WCS_Contact.php

I just took the IDPA Safety Officer course with John Plum at Ready Aim Fire. He's a good guy. As for the safe queens, SELL THEM!

Hello Somerville, birthplace of Lee Van Cleef.

Check this site: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/fo ... y.php?f=54 Do a search or post a question. You may want to ask NJChiroDoc, he has one.

Jim Flynn of Jim Flynn's Truck Repair in Glen Gardner is charging me $325 which is a good price. The price for a Camper was $245. He has very reasonable prices, some of the best around and he is a really good guy. I changed my order twice and he was very understanding.

I was going to get a Buck Mark Camper but I saw the grips on yours and changed my order to this: http://www.browning.com/products/catalo ... ype_id=407

I am always trying to recruit new shooters into the sport. I shot a couple of USPSA matches at Riverdale. They were held in the Winter so it was nice. However, they don't have matches there anymore. It is a good range. Money is a little tight right now so I can only belong to one range. So I have to stick with Shongum for now. I don't shoot Bullseye matches. My friend does but I would need another gun and have to reload. That's not in the picture right now

I am not sure what you mean by the "regular stuff". I am guessing you mean the other brands of bulk .22 ammo. Mini-Mags and CCI standard velocity are generally reliable in all guns, clean and accurate. I have seen Thunderbolts cause constant jams in pistols. My 10/22 ate them up but they blew a puff of smoke in my face out of the ejection port. Maybe Remington improved the quality over the years.

Hello from north Jersey

You should check out Cherry Ridge in Vernon, Shongum Sportmen's Association in Mansfield and the Bridgewater Range. They are not that far and private. Also, bring that XD and shoot IDPA and USPSA with us.

Welcome to the forum. What and where do you shoot?

9mm. It uses the same magazines as my 92FS so I save on magazines and equipment. I can shoot the rifle stage with the same belt and mag pouches as the pistol match. Plus the 9mm is the cheapest centerfire ammo you can get.

Are you sure about Thunderbolts? I don't like them. I shot up my supply of $0.74 per box from Herman's World of Sporting Goods in Paramus and won't buy any more. They are smoky, dirty and foul your bore. Check out this video: I would be sure all my guns really liked a specific brand of ammo before I stocked like that. Also, consider standard velocity ammo for more accuracy and less wear and tear on a semi-auto. If I was going to buy only one brand, it would be CCI, standard and high velocity. If I could have only one, it would be the Mini-Mags.

I could not make the April 19th match but next month looks better. Maybe I will see you there. I see you have a Beretta CX4 on order. I bought a one a couple of months ago. I plan to shoot it in the Shongum USPSA matches.

Where is this range? I don't see an address on the web site.

In Production Class, you will not be at a big disadvantage. During a Course of Fire, most mags are dropped with rounds since, in most cases, a tactical mag change is the best solution. In other words, you are moving from one area to another and this is an opportunity to change to a full magazine.

For Production class, there is only Minor Power Factor so here, 9mm is the most common. The scoring in other classes favors Major Power Factor so .45ACP is common in Single Stack and Limited-10 where magazine capacity is limited. In Limited and Open, where the only restriction is magazine length, 9mm Major, .38 Super and .40 S&W are the most common. The idea in Limited and Open is to have lots of rounds in the mag to minimize mag changes. Of course, this is for area matches. For a local match, which is mostly just for fun, shoot whatever you have.
