I have the FNP45 USG, which I believe is essentially the same gun as the FNX45 (the standard FNP45 is a little different, with less features). The FNP has very aggressive checkering on its grip. Some folks don't like that. I don't mind it. Also, even with the smaller backstrap, the grips girth is on the big side (the backstraps are really like the arched and straight mainspring housings on a 1911). If you have small hands, this gun is not for you. The gun has an excellent single action trigger, and since it can be carried cocked and locked, you don't ever really need to shoot it double action. That's a good thing because the double action is long and hard. With 15 rounds of 45ACP in the magazine, the gun is heavy. It does feel more balanced with ammo in the mag. The sights on the gun are good and I have gotten a little better than the combat accuracy I would expect from a polymer, tilt barrel action. Of course the weight of the gun makes recoil negligible and gets you back on target quickly. I see you are a member at Central Jersey too. I will be shooting there on Saturday November 3rd with my wife and some of her friends. You are welcome to meet us in the pits and try it out.

I have been on the gun austerity program for quite a while now. Find the ones you shoot the least or the one that is a duplicate of one you like better. I sold my Springfield M1A because I like my PTR91 more and because I figured I could live with one 308 battle rifle instead of two.

Good for you. Too many folks here just take the abuse thinking they are going to start getting pulled over for speeding and spied on by the local PD. Sometimes the system needs a kick.

The editor in chief of Time laments the lack of success with things like magazine capacity limits and the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban. Screw him. He should move to New Jersey if he wants all that crap.

Ab-so-friggin-lutely. Glad it wasn't a safari gun. Would have knocked me out.

Not true according to Shore Shot. The New York resident can come to a NJ FFL and show his NY ID and take possession of the rifle.

That is sad. Thoughts go out to their families.

Cool. Thanks for posting.

I love that video.

Just get a KVar handguard set. It's the only one I know of that fits the groove in the Ultimak tube well.

1) Underwire bra 2) battery 3) jumper cables

Just make sure they don't have any non NJ compliant accessories, like magazines over 15 rounds.

That is true, but you have a mismatched extractor. If you go this way (which is cheaper) make sure to buy the gun configured in the caliber you want for woods, home defense, etc for reliability sake. Buy the spare barrel in the caliber you want to plink with.

Have to agree with the crowd on this one.

Run fast from any mags from ProMAg. Complete garbage. I have owned a few. All were awful.

Escalate. Let us all know if it is Dicks official policy or this guy was making stuff up.

There are a few things I do. The US Post Office money order is a good start. Googling the address or better yet, using the real estate sites to find the address is also good (I see you did that). If you get the person's cell phone, when you are speaking with them ask them to snap a picture of the gun (everyone's phone has a camera these days) and send it to you. If they really own the gun, it will be easy. If the gun came from an internet site somewhere, they won't be able to do it. Lastly, a lot of FFLs will act as a psuedo-escrow. You can have the seller bring the gun to an FFL, and you can send your money to the FFL, and the FFL will give the buyer his money once he has inspected and shipped the gun. It might cost you an extra $50, but consider it insurance. I just did this for a fairly expensive purchase from a private seller in California with no GunsAmerica feedback.

That was a sweet rifle. I'm glad you got it.

Thanks for putting it plainly (and more eloquently than I would've managed) Bob.

$18 background check every time you go for permits. Load up on the P2Ps since they are cheap and (assuming your town's PD Chief is not a hard-on) can get them extended. I ask for 6.

I used the VLTOR AK stock adaptor. No grinding required. http://www.vltor.com/accessory.htm

Do some internet searches. The regular EAA Witness has had some problems with 10mm cracking slides or frames. There is a 10mm forum section o www.ar15armory.com. There is also a 10mm forum on Glock Talk. Those were always my two biggest sources of info when I was shooting 10mm. In general though, the EAA guns are nice, and the premium ones are really nice.

Shane is as nice a guy as you ever want to meet. Easy transaction.
