Very nice! DE44 made in US, DE44W made is Israel. I spent the $20 for the US made version!

OK, I ordered a DE44, which should arrive either Friday or Saturday. Used the forum's FFL request and chose Bullseye Tactical because a) everyone had pretty much the same price, and b) they are the closest participating FFL to me and I've never used them before. I'll post a review as soon as I get to shoot it! TRIVIA QUESTION: What's the difference between a Magnum Research DE44 and DE44W (other than $20). Answer without internet searching (although it's not so easy to find the answer that way, either).

And most pizza in Central Jersey is better than all pizza in South Jersey, so you're much better off than Brooklyn. I can tell you not to buy any pizza anywhere in the Poconos...

Dicks has a sale on Rem UMC 230gr 45 this week, $19 a box. I bought 10 from Woodbridge, they had a case (at least) in the back. They were out of the 40.

This is interesting, and I am wondering if the old "head shop" laws have expired or been repealed? Near me, on Rt 22 there are now two "smoking accessories" shops, one on Rt22E in Scotch Plains and the other on Rt22W in the Greenbrook/N Plainfield area. They specialize in hookas, waterpipes, etc. How are they not "head shops" and are they now legal again?

For reasons I can't explain, I find myself desiring a 44 magnum semi-auto handgun. I have a revolver and several lever guns in 44M, and enjoy them. A long time ago I shot a borrowed Desert Eagle, and it was sorta crummy. It felt "gritty" and didn't operate so well. However, that was before I had a ton of handgun experience, and the owner was the kind of guy who doesn't take care of his guns, so maybe it was just a bad example. So, a) are there any 44M s/a handguns other than Desert Eagles, and b) was my experience accurate, or are the Desert Eagles really nicer than the one I shot? It's been 32 days, so I have the hankering. Thanks, Dave

Most places will begin a transaction until 7:30pm or so, but if you know them they might try at 7:45...

That's really cool! Just found one on gunbroker with SEVEN barrels!! http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=275973964 2 1/2", 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", 15" - wow that looks fun!

None of the 5+ stores I buy guns from in NJ will allow you to touch a gun without seeing your FID. It may not be the law, but it's common practice and some of our better stores use that guideline...

All turn-only and other optional traffic signals are now controlled by cameras, instead of the induction loops they used to bury in the roadway. The camera is a very simple low-res unit, that just looks at the road where a car turning left (or whatever) would be moving. If the pixels change, there is a car and the light pattern will change accordingly. 95% of the cameras you see on traffic lights are for this purpose. There aren't that many red light cameras yet. That said, if you get ticketed, you can almost always get it dismissed because of various procedural and technical problems. Most yellow lights are not timed correctly, and when they install red light cameras they often (illegally) shorten yellow light times. You can check this yourself, and if the yellow light is not timed correctly the town is required to dismiss all tickets issued under those conditions. Good time to join the NMA, National Motorists Association.

You probably meant this, but you yourself can't take delivery of any of them; they need to be transferred through an FFL. Otherwise, I don't believe there are any limitations as long as they don't have any markings to make them similar to any banned weapons.

I think that's probably true in Belleville, but not so true for the rest of NJ ranges. Bullethole is in such an area...

If you get any response let us know. I've emailed many people from CR/ANJRPC and never received a response of any kind. The only guy who ever responded was on the forum but left....

Because we like shooting rifles, but don't want to climb into a sewer to do it?

it's been being torn down for over a month. You've been able to see daylight at the rear of the building when looking through the front doors for weeks. They are just taking their time.

I own an M9A1, and I love shooting it. Gun feels great in my hand. I bet NJFAG in Rahway has one in stock, although perhaps closer to MSRP than you'd like to pay...

For every doctor that says they do cause autism, there are 10,000 who say they don't, along with 5,000 scientists. The only reason these lunatics get away with not vaccinating their child is because the rest of us vaccinate ours and so the diseases are relatively rare. If they get a foothold, and polio comes back, we'll be screwed because of their foolish internet beliefs.

This is the kind of thing that really annoys me about CR. a) The event is still on the website calendar, so how many people are going to show up? b) Why would they cancel it? c) Are they going to have another seminar before the National Match series starts? Finally, if someone didn't know, how would they figure out what a NM is, or what a NM seminar is? Each event should have a link to a simple description of the event, what gear you need, cost, etc. Sure you could call, if the phone number is there, but sometimes it isn't and some people can't call during reasonable hours. I've been trying to tell webmasters this for years, but have never even gotten a response, let alone a reason why. It would take someone 3 hours to do, and it would be good for years. In the meantime, I'm planning to attend on Saturday unless the website changes....

I've been interested in an alarm system for a long time, but what's been preventing me is that I have an 80-year old house largely made out of concrete and thick steel lathe, and I'm not so interested in having people drilling holes for wires everywhere. Actually, given my 15 years of working on the house, and several large renovations, and many surprised contractors, I know that something as simple as getting a wire anywhere near some of the windows will be a many-day, close to impossible job. So, I think I need an entirely wireless system, probably with multiple repeaters (since the thick steel lathe acts as a partial Faraday cage and prevents long-distance transmissions).... is that possible?

I think there may be reputable home inspectors, and possibly honest ones, but I'm not sure there are any competent ones. I have been through a lot of real estate transactions, on both sides, with many inspectors, from cheap to famous ones that service the rich, and they've all missed important things, or blown out of proportion unimportant things. I know you have to have one, but a homeowner friend will probably show you as much....

??? so, there are 50-70 cops?

What a useless article. It doesn't tell us what the guy was convicted of, and while it says "he faces life in prison without parole" it doesn't tell us when he will actually be sentenced, and what the minimum sentence might be. For all this article tells us he might have been convicted of some lower degree of murder and face a much lower sentence...

Just to be clear, when you look at pre-loaded ammo, the weight in grains is the weight of the bullet (e.g., 115 gr 9mm), but we should mention that we worry about grain weights when reloading or making our own ammo, and that we weigh the powder charge in grains, as well. "John used 3.4 grains of Blue Dot when he loaded those 115 grain bullets"
