I agree. But you better have some time on your hands if you want to buy something there. Four people on line ahead of you could easily take 30-45 minutes.

I get the same treatment at Salomon's in Farmingdale.

I don't have enough money to own "show" guns. All of mine are shooters. If I did though, I would have a few.

Normal? No. Standard Operating Procedure for PRNJ.

Now that is funny. There are guns for shooting, and there are guns for showing. I am guessing this is the latter. Joe already has some fine 1911's if he wants to shoot one. Beautiful gun by the way, Joe. Love the minimalist feel. I had never even heard of ball cuts, then checked one out at a gunsmith in PA. Amazing how smooth the slide rides on the frame. Nice build choices.

If you check the forum, people have been posting that they got their NICS back in a few minutes.

They are going fast. Pressed "Add to order" and the link failed because it was sold out by the time I hit it. Grabbed some 9mm.

That's one thing I love about 45ACP. I don't remember the last time I had to chuck brass. With my hot 10mm loads I would only use new brass or brass I knew for sure was used once.

There are differences as some striker systems achieve a nice trigger pull by pre-cocking the striker, where the Glock does not. I believe it is why the SA XD series guns are put in a different class than Glocks in IDPA.

Sorry Joe, I don't. I always figured the internet amplified the good and the bad, so I figured that buying a big framed revolver would mean I was OK (supposedly light framed revolvers in magnum chamberings are more susceptible). My first range session the lock partially engaged and I couldn't get it all the way locked or unlocked. Andy at Shore Shot fixed it for me. I do remember him mentioning that he had done it to other people's guns as well. I know I'm a sample size of one, but...

The lock on my 629 (44mag w/6" barrel) seized, rendering it useless until fixed. It took a smith a few minutes to undo. No S&W lock guns for me. I feel better about Ruger and Taurus locks. Their activation is perpendicular to recoil forces instead of in line with them.

Great info. Thanks.

I am no fan of Boston teams, but this one had a lot of heart. They smashed the Penguins (sweep) and Rangers. I think they are used to pounding other teams but just couldn't match Chicago's speed. Oh yeah, and Rangers suck!

I think you will find that many NJGF members are also NJ2AS members, and vice versa. The group does have a libertarian/conservative feel, but that is more reflective of the membership than the group's charter purpose, IMO. If you are worried that they invited Democratic Assemblymen rather than Republicans, you should look more deeply into their strategy. There are a few pro-gun Democrats in this state, mostly from the more rural areas. If the NJ2AS aligns itself only with Republicans (many of whom, especially in North Jersey, are very anti-gun) then the group becomes a partisan wing of the Republican party and much easier to dismiss. The reason the NRA has so much success in national legislature is that they have politicians from both sides of the aisle in their court. If it ever gets to the point where only Republicans sup[port the NRA, you will see the group's effectiveness diminish greatly.

Good stuff. A different world.

They are impossible to reach and any weekend there is a local gun show, tony will be at it. I don't know if the store is open when he is out at a show.

To the best of my knowledge, it is just about collectability. Consider the Finnish copy if you are concerned about accuracy.

Go to www.nypost.com for more info. It is a NYC bill.

To the original poster, I "get" your meaning of trustworthy. Do NOT store guns in original cases. Many of them have foam, which acts like a sponge and will cause rust. My favorite anti-rust treatment is EEZOX. Great stuff. Also, if you are storing in an enclosed space, consider getting a Golden Rod. It heats up the air and prevents condensation from forming.

I have always had bad luck with REM Golden bullets. They don't cycle well in my semi-autos (marlin 60 & m&p15-22).

Forget the cost. It's nice to have a hobby you can share with your son, and you have someone you can pass heirloom firearms to and will appreciate them.

Why did you ditch the HK45?

Field guns are plenty accurate. The shorter barrels point faster (although don't swing as well) than a sporting shotgun. If you are upland hunting, a nice 20 gauge that weighs around 6 pounds is perfect. There is no way I would want to lug around a 9-10 pound trap gun for four hours.
