Where do I get those bean bag rounds? Is the recoil heavier or lighter than with 00Buck shot?

Excellent question! Depends on the weather and what I'm doing. Cold weather or more clothes would be either my SR9 or Px4 9mm. Warmer weather I might drop my Taurus M85 38 special in my pocket.

I was just curious if anyone else uses a shotgun for their home defense firearm. I use my 870 with the AR stock and 2 side saddles with 11 rounds on it so the gun is never loaded (got a baby who is starting to move around FAST!), but is easily loaded in a pinch.

You must be nuts to buy anything at most gunshops right now. I didnt say all, but most. Their prices are way high. I am all for supporting business, but not when they are charging some of the highest prices in the country. I think the 95% of the people who go into the shop without looking around online to make an informed decision make up for the rest of us. I do buy some accessories there though, ie cases, on which prices are not bad. The new firearms I purchased, were orders from local ffl's. The used ones, were in amazing condition via trades with board members, or raiding my brother's safe queens. Sorry bro, but the prices aren't coming down anytime soon. As a matter of fact, there problably going to stay the same until the AWB becomes law again or another law of that nature makes handguns almost illegal. Get'em now while you can, because you never know what's going to happen in the upcoming months.

Not a huge fan of the 92fs, but I do like how the px storm 9mm looks. Ever handle/fire one of those? -Scott I own all three (92FS, Px4, and SR9) and anyone would be an excellent choice. The SR9 is the cheapest of the three so if money is an issue then it's your baby. The only two complaints I have are the ugly 10 round mags and the trigger pull. It's a little mushy and the trigger saftey feels weird. I also own an XD 45 tactical with the same trigger saftey and if feels much better.

Any gunshop have those set ups in New Jersey? I'm looking for the Mariner model.

Now the question asks which "handgun" so I'll stick with that. My XD 45 tactical. Maybe someone should start a new thread in rifles and shotguns on the same question, no?

Get something new. Why raid your brothers safe, those will always be there. Go to a nice gunshop, grap a few pistols you like, feel'em out, and go home with 2 brandy new roscoe's for your collection. How about that?

Where was it made? Is Rock Island Armory an American company or overseas?

Okay, once my money looks better it would be one of my upgrades (along with a red-dot scope and tactical sling)

Now you gotta burn those other two permits, what a shame. Whatcha gonna buy?

Man, all this talk on 9mm or 45acp is getting crazy! Get a 357sig, 40 S&W or 45GAP.

Is that a drop-in trigger? Or is it more involved and need a gunsmith?

Yea, the 45 long colts had a good kick too, but not as bad as the 3 inch 410 shells.

It's kind of hard to shoot rifles where I live. There is one range in Hudson Co. and they don't allow "large bore" rifles. Maybe out in west or south Jersey it's alot easier due to the open-ness, but not here, too congested.

Love those black rifles! Not to tell you how to put your's together, but the Hogue pistol grip is the way to go. I think mine was 15 bucks and it makes it so much more comfortable. Have fun with her bro!

A good friend of mine just bought a Taurus Judge in stainless with the 3in chamber. What a blast! We were fooling around with bird shot at 5 yards and the whole paper was covered in tiny holes. The sights are great and the grip feels comfortable. It does have a nice little kick to it but for a bedside companion (which she is turned into), it's the best thing going.

Plus, it looks cool with the holster an mag holders. Kind of like a complete set. Thanks guys, I will call Springfield Armory and ask for a "south-paw" holster.

Lots of XD fans, gotta love it!

No offense to Mauser88 but I disagree. If everyone thought like that then noone would open a business in any field. If you have the capital and the drive then go for it. I wish you all the luck. It seems you've already started the process, so let us know here how its going. And don't forget to tell us when you open. You've already done a good job in marketing as you've mentioned it on this site. We've got over 100 members already, so that's 100 more possible customers for you. Once again good luck.

Worth a shot, give them a call. They are friendly and even if it costs a few bucks it's worth it.

I'll join you with an underwater metal detector

Your right Spokes, the AWB is coming! They are blaming the border problems and drug cartels in Mexico on US guns. Here we go with this nonsense.

I do here a lot of complaints about wolf ammo but I never had a problem with it. I do NOT shot wolf steel case in my Stag 556, it's horrible! A bought a few boxes because it was cheap and I had a case get stuck in the barrel. Plus it was unreliable. But in 45 and 9mm, it's great.

I love AR's! What do you plan on doing with it?
