I wish I had that kind of talent. They were made by a guy on the Beretta Forum, he does damn good work.

My New Hand Made Grips..

Even if the wait is short.. It will feel like FOREVER. In the meantime read, watch you tube videos, and enjoy the forum

Thanks for the info on the .17 Rounds.. So .22 it is, now I just need to find a relatively in-expensive one, that is still accurate and nice looking to boot

Can anyone shed a light on a savage Riffle I saw last time I was in my local spot.. It's a .17 HMR cal. Savage Model 93R17 has a 21" HEAVY barrel. I have never shot anything more then a .22 riffle (which might be what I would want), but saw this and thought it was interesting. I just have no idea what kind of round a .17 is. I have heard of .223 and .308 but never .17, is it a rare round? or an unfavored one?

For those who print these out on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.. How far out are you shooting at them?

Personally, I'd rather have my hands tied than have pennies on my eyes. Ken I agree.. when it comes down to it, my family is getting protected. I will deal with all the legal BS afterward if that's what it comes down to.

If the court cases are any indication, if someone breaks into your house they seem to have some sort of right. How many cases have there been where someone shoots an intruder, injures them and then get sued for damages. I personally will never understand how that works, but that is a completely other topic. The way I originally read the law was that Hollow points could be stored at home, transported to and from an event or range. If they can be loaded for home defense or not, is not clear to me. On your point though.. it seems like your hands may be tied either way if you were ever forced to fire your weapon to protect your family (Hollow Points or not).

My Brother has lived in Annadale since 1977. Jefferson & Rathbun. Small world huh, Brooklyn guys, SI guys....gotta love it Small world.. I lived off of Annadale Rd right near the train station for the better part of 27 years. When me and my wife were engaged we move into an apartment behind the King Kullen shopping center off of Arden Ave. Of course when we were looking for houses we could not afford a house we wanted out there, and refused to pay some of the prices they ask for town houses, which is how we ended up out here.

I honestly like rifles more then handguns. For me though it was the ability to get a small in-expensive safe, and the ability to shoot anywhere that made my first purchase a handgun.

Welcome aboard from another SI Transplant (moved about a year and a half ago). Where were you from in SI? Born, raised and lived in Annadale until I moved to Old Bridge after getting married. Tom

District 13 has been informed..

Very cool.. it won't be too hard to identify other members shooting at the same range with those

I can't speak for safes since I only have 1 handgun and a small safe under my bed http://www.sentrysafe.com/products/productDetail.aspx?s=264&WT.si_n=ShoppingCart&WT.si_p=CartView On the humidity front though you can always try Damp Rid or other moisture control products. I use larger containers of Damp Rid in my garage to help try and keep my tools from getting rusty. Works pretty well along with a liberal coating of WD40. In the fire arm case maybe a liberal coating or gun oil, along with the damp rid would work as well.

Like others have said it truly depends on the town. It would be a safe assumption to say 2-3 months average, although some people have waited over 4 damn months. Following up to make sure the township received you references forms is good, but I think after that it goes to State and it is a little harder to follow up.

Day by day you can see things picking up. The amount of new posts, replies and new members is good news :geek:

Well my first 100 rounds will be Wolf Ammo (on loan from a buddy). For Range use I ordered WWB which is back ordered for another week or so. I also picked up a box of Speer Gold Dots to fill a magazine for home defense purposes.

Anyone know the closing time of the Armory Range during the week?

I made a deal with a buddy of mine, 100 round now and I will replace it when my order of back ordered ammo comes in. At least I can get to the range and shoot off some ammo.

He isn't really that close to Philly, But he is a great guy to deal with. Ron Grigoletto Legacy Firearms Wall, NJ 07719 His website which has his contact information as well as some of his inventory. http://www.legacyfirearms.com/Home.htm

I have been hunting around myself, and the usual response I get to my inquiry of looking for 9mm ammo.. "So are we". WTF lol Even most of the online places I have tried, have limited amounts of 9mm. I have a gun in my safe that is nothing more then a paper weight unless I can get it some lead to eat!!

If ammoman doesn't ship to NJ, who does? Any reputable places with decent ammo for good prices?

Did he ever follow up to make sure the references and all came back? I have heard a few stories where the reference forms were lost on their way back. After a month and a few week I had called Old Bridge PD to just check if everything was received on my end. A really nice lady helped me verify everything, and informed me we were just waiting for the State checks to come back. 2 Weeks or so later my ID card and permits came in the mail. I would definitely follow up if possible, can't hurt to try and get a status. Tom

I have heard of people using a small pouch type bag (not sure of any brands) for the pistol itself, and put that and all the essential gear into a backpack type bag.

Cool, I am set then.. My Home Depot super comfortable safety glasses, and my soft foam molded plugs
