The M855 1000 RD can is 5 bucks cheaper than the case.

Thanks for the link. Nice and easy to take apart like my Glock. Now I just need to shoot one to make sure I like it. Can I move this thread to The Bullet Hole section I didn't know existed?

I'd be very appreciative if anyone could tell me when the next Sig Sauer demo will be at the Bullet Hole. I think the 226 is my next purchase but I'd like to see the ease of stripping it, and I'd like to put some lead down range.

100,000 XD owners disagree. My guess is more glock owners disagree to the XD owners disagreeance... I love my G34, the only thing I would like to add to it (dare I say) is a external safety. I know it can't fire without pulling the trigger but I'm still uneasy about it regardless. Plaxico Burress didn't think it could go off either...

I bought a Glock 22 because it was light. In retrospect that wasn't the smartest decision I've ever made. IMHO the Glock 22 is too light for the .40 cal round. It kicks like a mule after about 30 minutes I can't keep my hands steady enough to shoot it accurately more than 10 yards. Personally I don't like the fact that it's double action only and has no exterior safety. You can put a lighter trigger on, but I won't as there's no external safety. I put a Hogue grip on it to lessen the beating on my hand. As far as reliability goes... No jams with about 1000 rounds of .40 and 2 due to faulty ammo with my Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel out of a few thousand. It's a pleasure to break down. It takes less than 1 minute for me to break it down completely for cleaning (I'm not quick by any means either). It is a great gun, but the polymer frame is way too light for an extended session at the range. 180 grain ammo is the standard. I prefer 165 grain if I can find it and they make 155 gr I believe. I switched to 9mm for the range due to the price of ammo. I'd look for something in an all metal frame for .40 caliber. I don't know if Beretta makes a .40 cal, but their 9mm is nice. I haven't shot a Sig Sauer, but I've heard great things. You also need to find what's comfortable in your hand.

Argh! Good Grief! Thanks for the quick response. Guess I'm off to the police station. If I can decide what to buy...

I'm looking to pick up two more P2Ps. Do I have to fill out the "I'm not a wife beating, alcoholic, drug addicted escapee from a mental ward" forms again? And do I need to put down the references(Ummm NICS anyone?) since I already have the SBI number?

A certain range in Rockland County, NY told me I can shoot there even though I'm a resident of NJ. I guess that's not the case. :roll:

If I already have my SBI number do I have to put down my references again? I had heard that if you haven't applied for a pistol permit in over 2 years (or done a NICS check) you have to pay the full amout for the background check. Any truth to any of that?

The Hard grip suggested in the article works for me except with a Glock which actually hurts my hand when doing hard grip. must be the texture. Get a Hogue grip. I put one on my Glock and it's a lot more comfortable to shoot. Try shooting lighter loads too. 1 Like 155 gr for .40 if I can find it. I usually shoot 165 gr though. 9mm 115 gr instead of the 124.

The reason it is banned is pandering, liberal politicians wanted to show they were tough on crime so they banned the evil M-1 carbine which is a "weapon that belongs on the battlefield, not on our streets." :puke-front: It makes no sense so don't waste your time trying to understand it. Just pack your bags and I'll see at the range in North Carolina. I'll be sure to say "Nice M-1 you have there and it looks cool with the 30-round magazine." Yea I'd like that removed from the list. They make a California Okay version. If it's safe enough for Compton it's safe enough for NJ. Christie don't let us down!

That's good to know. I'm going to need to go again to verify, but it seems my 22A's favorite food is CCI standard velocity. Who'd athunkit. =) So I might hold off on another .22 since I'm having good results now. I might have to get that Sig 226 I've been drooling over instead of the Buck Mark. :twisted:

Just use something that isn't going to jam. Make sure it is brass jacketed for sure, and not aluminum or other. Don't use surplus ammo either. If you live in a condo I wouldn't go with something that's high penetration. I have never used them, but you might want to look into Extreme Shock Air Freedom rounds, or another brand of frangible ammo. Again I haven't used it, but Dynamic Research Technologies (DRT) ammo supposedly will disperse when striking a wall or other non organic surface (so they say).

I'm going to shoot it today with the minimags to see what happens. I should be at the bullet hole by 2. I'll have on my khaki shorts and my red devils shirt and black devils hat. If you want to shoot it just say hello =-) -Chris Just got back... Okay my 22A likes CCI minimags. I fired 200 with 1 fail to feed. No fail to fire. Winchester Wildcat. Shot 50. 5 fail to feed. 1 fail to fire. The one fail to fire was also stuck in the chamber. The range officer was nice enough to pry it out for me with a small screwdriver. I guess there's something else I need to bring with me from now on. Finally CCI Standard Velocity: Oh boy what a surprise... 300 rounds. NO Fail to feed and NO fail to fire. The attached picture is with the CCI Standard Velocity 10 round groups at 40-50 feet. (I took the target home with me as you cannot take pictures at the Bullet Hole)

Very nice gun! I have shot my buddies and it is very accurate and handles nicely. Man, you should have checked out TJ Sporting Arms(from NJGF as well) They have the same gun listed on their homepage for $715+tax. Could have got a couple boxes of 9mm to shoot! -Scott oooOOooo I want it!!!! Damn where did I put those permit forms?!?!?!?

Did you get it yet? How does it shoot? I'm thinking of getting one too. A guy I work with said the Buck Mark will eat any garbage ammo you put through it so I was curious if there's any truth to that... I can't see the point of having a .22 pistol to shoot cheap ammo if it'll only shoot CCI Minimags(S&W 22A or Sig Mosquito).

LOL Partly due (I believe) to the SNS that Reagan got shot with. Reagan got shot with a .22 revolver. I'm confused what does that have to do with a .380 auto? Oh wait. Absolutely nothing. We are humble before you our omnipotent lawmakers!

If you're going to the Hole on Friday let me know what time.

It's very picky about the ammo you put through it. I've been told CCI mini mags are the way to go. I haven't tried them, but my gun does the following: American eagle hollow point 38 gr. plated- Fail to feed Remington plated- Fail to fire Remington Thunderbolts- Many Fail to fire Federal Champion 40 gr. Round nose Fail to fire All fail to fires were rotated and rechambered with a nice new strike on the rim. Might be the ammo... Another thing is you can't keep it someplace damp because the rear sight will rust.

My care package arrived from CCI today with 3 more boxes than I sent out! Now if only I had to get to the range to shoot it...

Common sense will do you no good behind bars if the LEO thinks the law should be interpreted differently. I was looking for an 'ammo case' to take to the range, and I recalled that my mom had an old Samsonite makeup case, complete with combination lock. So I was thinking about asking her if she still used it (despite the fact that it's powder blue). Well, I stopped at a garage sale about 2 wks ago and sure enough, there's the Samsonite cosmetic case I'm looking for, but in brown/tan (a little more manly than powder blue). $0.50 later, I'm on my way... Now I just need to figure out how to re-perfume it with Hoppe's #9 instead of Chanel #5 Put some gun oil on a patch and leave it in there. If it's leather wipe it down with leather conditioner and throw in a reel/gun silicon cloth(love that smell) for increased manliness. For the transporting issue: Go get a cheapo shotgun shell plastic carrying case with a hole for a lock. Pick up a 4 pack of master locks with the same key(so you can put it on your car/bike keys). Lock up the ammo and the guns (if they have a lock hole). Keep them in the trunk. Print out N.J.S. 2C:39-6(g) so that the officer can read it (I'm going to assume he/she does not know it), and continue on your merry law abiding liberty infringed because you live in a "Gestapo controlled state" way. :evil:

If the weather holds and the skies don't open up, I'll be at Cherry Ridge tomorrow (Sunday) with the P22. Come on by and indulge yourself. Can the sights on the P22 be replaced? That is the only reason for me being hesitant about purchasing one. I'm curious if they can be removed like a Glock's can.

What kind of scope is that it looks bad***.

::Sigh:: Now I want one too. :roll: Get the wood one just in case you need to whip the stock around to smack someone. :twisted: Maybe put a metal plate on the end if it doesn't have one.

I've never had a problem with Blazer Brass. It's excellent ammo for the range. Too bad they don't carry it in stores. Thanks everyone. It was more of the point that there was a problem with their production and I was trying to let them know about it. The first guy who responded was very arrogant which, after much contemplation encouraged me to send it back instead of down range at that guy's email.
