I thought the SR9 came with either 17, 15, or 10round mags depending on local laws where they are being sold/bought? NJ is 15round max mags correct? Any complaints on the PX4? Thicker frame then the SR9? -Scott

Not a huge fan of the 92fs, but I do like how the px storm 9mm looks. Ever handle/fire one of those? -Scott

Your absolutely right....the trigger was rough and heavy when I was dry firing one at SS yesterday. I liked the style and how it felt, I hope it shoots how it looks and like you said hopefully it smooths out after a few rounds. I read and article the said it only took 100 rounds for the gun to really settle in and smooth out. Maybe NJChiroDoc can give us some insite on that..... -Scott

Thanks for that link I will check it out right now. I shot the xd-9 and liked it alot. The safety in the handle as well as on the trigger are nice and the gun was very accurate. I want to shoot the SR9 before making any purchases though. -Scott

NJpilot, They have 9mm at $11.98/box but only when you buy it by the case. I believe the regular price was $13.98/box. They didnt have anything in stock though. Called the Dicks in Freehold and they were the same. The salesman in Freehold couldnt believe how fast he sells out.....I can but I wasnt telling him! 8-) -Scott

I called at the 42 day mark, because when I applied the Detective said it would take 3-6 weeks (nice to know he gives an estimate that is illegal right from the start, but whatever). Anyway, when I called he said he has everything except he is just waiting on the NJSP to come back with my BG check, and that it's out of his hands, and that he has no idea how long it will take, and that I shouldn't bother calling again because it's out of his hands and he'll call me when it comes back. Yeah, right. I'll probably call at 90 days if I still haven't heard. I might consider sending a letter from my uncle who is an attorney in NY, do you think that might speed things up? --FCOD I call every week and I am polite. When they tell me that my permits are not ready yet and that they will call me when I can get them and tell me I dont have to call I dont get mad. I dont yell, I just stay polite and tell them I will check in if I dont hear anything in a week. Kill them with kindness. -Scott

Applied Feb. 11th, still nothing as well. Every week I call and they say it should only be another week.....same story every week. I wish I lived in some of these twp's that you guys live in! Sounds like you guys had some nice turn around times. -Scott

If you dont mind me asking, how long ago did you apply in Berkeley? -Scott

Ok I am hoping that my local PD will be calling any day for me to go pickup my permits so I am trying to narrow my first 9mm down. Has anyone had any time handling a Ruger SR9? I know NJChiroDoc has already offered for me to go shoot his but I want to get as many opinions on this gun as I can. Let me know the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have read a ton of info on these guns and I do know about the recalls and how they were/are handled by Ruger. Any info is greatly appreciated! -Scott

I have been told all the paperwork is basically the same as when you first applied for your FID. The only things that change are no fingerprinting(some towns differ depending on time periods), and time frames. -Scott

FYI...made a trip to Dick's in Manahawkin today with same result as Freehold. They have nothing in 9mm, but they do have a good selection of shotgun shells as well as higher caliber handgun ammo. I have to say with the price they are advertising I wouldnt be surprised to see them sold out. $11.98/box when buying by the case! Thats a huge savings! I also stopped into SS today and saw their non-member 9mm ammo is now up too $33.00/box. :roll: -Scott

Thanks guys. I will do what was mentioned before and keep a seperate backpack in the trunk. This way I can put ammo boxes in there and keep gun in the range bag. -Scott

Thanks for the quick response! So basically I have to do the whole packet that my twp. provides but only differences is that I only check off PP and how many and no finger prints again. -Scott

What about a range bag? If your handgun is in a sealed plastic case in the range bag and your ammo is in its original boxes in that same range bag and the range bag is in a car trunk or back hatch of an SUV is that ok? -Scott

When you have your FID and want to apply for more permits to purchase you only have to fill out the one form with all your info and put how many permits right? You dont have to fill out the mental health forms and all again do you? Just asking because I want to turn in forms for 3 more permits when I get the call to go pick up my enitial FID and permit to purchase. -Scott

I will try to swing by Dicks and Walmart today to see what they have and to get some prices for everyone. -Scott

I'll have to check that out....thanks! -Scott

Wow I didnt know that. Do they have a large selection? Do they ask for your FID card? -Scott

Dicks Sporting goods? They sell ammo in there stores or only online? -Scott

I thought $15.99/box wasnt bad. Then again the only place I have bought was in a range. Now that you mention it I think that same ammo was $2.00less per box on Cabela's -Scott

Come on....I thought it was your turn, rscalzo, to rub my back and tell me everything is gunna be ok! Your right, absolutely right. I'm just frustrated thats all. Once I get the call all these rants will stop from me, that is till I go to pick up my FID and PP and put in for two more PP's! -Scott

Went over to Cheyenne Mountain today and your werent kidding! Nice people, good prices and lots too choose from. I spent almost an hour just walking around the store, check prices on guns and ammo. Very helpful people. The ammo prices were good and they had plenty there but they did mention that they are limiting the amount you buy so that they have enough to go around. All in all a nice place and I will definitely go back once I get my permits. I also went down the road to the sportsmen center. Big store and nice people but didnt have much ammo at all and less guns then Cheyenne Mountain. -Scott

Kind of stinks that Lonegan is already showing signs of most true Politicians. I understand that this site and its members do not represent a large percentage of the voters but when someone wants to help you succeed you would think someone from your campaign would reach out to them especially when you say you would. :roll: Just my 2cents..... -Scott

I understand the statute is out dated and not realistic anymore I just think the PD's should try to be more accurate with their time frames. Im in the sales field and have been for sometime now. I have come to learn their is a much better relationship between me and the customer when I tell them one time frame and I get it done sooner rather then telling one time frame and it ends up taking double the time. I try to give realistic time frames and see the satisfaction from the customer when completing the job ahead of schedule. Its not always the best to tell someone what they want to hear rather then telling them the realistic outcome. -Scott

If you dont mind me asking....How long ago did you apply in Berkeley? -Scott
