That's a really fun rifle and it's a lot more accurate than you would expect. It has the best trigger out of the box of any of the Saigas. If you decide to convert it just remember that some of the parts are not the same as for the other Saiga rifles conversions. Carolina Shooters Supply is a great resource. They have all the right parts and are very happy to and are very happy to help you pick them.

Unless you pin the mag or chop the grip to accept G19 mags, the G17 is limited to 10 rounders in NJ because its standard cap mag holds 17 rounds.

Please read up on ProMag magazines before you take those magazines out of their packaging. I have no experience with them on a Saiga shotgun, but I do with several handguns and they were the worst firearms related purchase I EVER made. They turned reliable handguns into jam-o-matics. Complete garbage. I can only assume that their lack of quality control and/or design flaws translate to shotguns as well as handguns. Hopefully not, but save yourself some grief and check first.

I wish the 19 were a bit heavier to improve followup shots. But then I am used to the weight of a CZ85.

It's hokey, but I remember the saying "You show 1911's to your friends. You show Glocks to your enemies." I want something boringly reliable to be the gun I trust. For my handguns, that is a Glock 19 and a S&W Model 28-2. For long guns, it's a Remington 870 police model.

Amagi, If you are worried about police unfamiliarity with the regulations, carry a copy of the pertinent NJ laws in your gun case. That way you can point and say "see, the capacity rule only applies to semi-autos" BLF, I have had several conversations with police officers about firearms. While they all had a good feel for the generalities of the laws, the ONLY ones who knew the minutiae of the law the way folks on this site do worked in the State Police Firearms division. Frankly, considering the ever increasing volume of rules and regs pushed on us by politicians, I think it is unrealistic(and unfair) to expect a police officer would know all the details of any section of the law unless it was their specialty.

Look for Remington Gun Club Target load specials at Dicks. Then buy by the case. Cabelas online often has specials on it too with free shipping.

Prisons are a growth industry in this state.

Pat of the reason Glocks are so easy to shoot IS the grip angle. While it is not the 1911 angle that is the standard for the shooting world, an angled grip is nothing new. Look at Lugers, the Ruger Mark line of 22 target pistols, and lots of others I can't think of at the moment. While the ergonomics of the grip may be brick-like, I think the grip angle makes the gun point very naturally if you are open to trying it. Now how about a Glock with a contoured grip like the HK45, but also the standard Glock grip angle? That would be something I was interested in.

I usually like folks who stir the drink on this site. I even liked Radek and hoped he wouldn't be banned. But there is a cynical negativity about many of your posts that just rubs me the wrong way. If most of the active users on gun enthusiast web sites sent e-mails to NBC, I don't have any doubt that NBC would take a very public action. I was thinking about calling their main number to lodge a complaint too. After your post, I definitely am. Tilting at windmills is my specialty.

Congratulations. Good work. Hopefully other Hudson County towns get the hint.

It's your town making up laws. Lots of towns do the same. Your FID never expires .If you lived in the same house and never moved, you could buy rifles til the cows come home. It is only if you want a new FID or some pistol permits that they get you (in your town and others like it). If you have a criminal record, it will be picked up at the point of sale NICS check. Does anyone really think your fingerprints changed?

No COE needed for handguns.

Simple steps to take to voice your displeasure to NBC. They are a Corporation and only care about the bottom line. Hit them where it hurts, the pocketbook. I went to www.nbc.com and clicked on the "Contact Us" link. Here is what I wrote. To whom it may concern, Last night during the broadcast of Sunday Night Football, Bob Costas went on a rant espousing gun control. As someone who cherishes our Civil Rights, the most basic of which is the right to self-defense, I take exception to someone who wishes to trample on those rights. If I had wanted political commentary, I would have turned to your MSNBC station. As a New Jersey resident, I see the restrictions to my Second Amendment rights on a daily basis and watch with concern as mainstream media promulgate these affronts to our Constitutional liberties. I am an active member of my state's recreational shooting community and want you to know that the call has already gone on our internet forums out to take action. As of now, you have lost me as a viewer, and will not have me back until Bob Costas has publicly apologized. A simple disavowal on your part is insufficient because the damage is done. Costas needs to apologize or lose his job. There are thousands more like me in my state, and many more than that around the country. Are you prepared to alienate millions of law abiding gun owners that would otherwise be supporters of your programming. Please do the right thing. Thank you for your time. Sincerely

Shows you what I know Frank. It is 5.5 lbs. The Milspec one is basically a standard trigger with the grittiness taken out. The Combat trigger is a very (and I mean very) crisp trigger, especially compared to the stock Colt trigger I had on it prior. The two were night and day. http://www.algdefense.com/include/pdf/ALG-ACT-Flyer.pdf

Rey is trying to work up to a frequent buyer status with me. As usual, super easy to deal with. Great guy. Don't hesitate to do business with Rey.

It was good to see Ben. Easy deal. Don't hesitate to do business with BBK.

The ALG Combat trigger is nice. It's about 4lbs and very crisp one stage. It's no Geissele, but I think it's fine for a run and gun rifle.

Hey that's Boba Fett's father.

We were doing ours today too.

That seems like kind of a punishing first gun, a compact 40.

Shore Shot has one. It's like $3 a bullet though.

Make it the Beretta /Stoeger Cougar. The Storm is a plastic fantastic. The Cougar is a great pistol by the way. So is the CZ75 and all its variants.

With buckshot, you wouldn't know the difference. Get the one whose finish matches your receiver, or the cheaper one. Whichever matters more to you.

I don't disagree with your larger point on Democrats and Republicans both pushing towards more authoritarian powers for our government, so in that case a vote for either major party is a vote for less freedom. My smaller scale point was, we know 100% that Barry will appoint anti-gun justices if given a chance. Romney was an awful candidate, but he made promises. Those promises can be broken, but at political cost. If Romney had won and went back on his word, do you think Republican Senators would go along with an anti-gun justice? Unless the nominee was an outright liberal, Democrats wouldn't vote for him/her anyway. In this case I was betting on the devil I don't know, but you are right about him still being a devil.
