Tactical Monkey

Shoot me a PM when you have a moment.

I've had some trigger time behind one - the only one I've seen in NJ - with two different owners who were kind enough to let me get some range time. To sum it up quickly and from what I remember: AK-like internals, AR-like ergonomics, as if they had a baby. I wasn't overly impressed with it as the trigger left something to be desired, but it shot straight and went bang every time for the 100 or so rounds I put through it.

Did you even read the article, or just google the title? Let me make it easy for you: "But buying a Level 2 SERPA for every pistol in the Corps’ inventory is, at best, controversial and, at worst, dangerous." "A roll in the dirt, gravel and even snow, get debris under the spring-loaded retention release button, jamming it closed and imprisoning the pistol." "Giving them to everyone in the Corps without a strong training program in place to teach and reinforce the muscle memory required for safe use in stressful situations is asking for trouble." "...but the fact remains that a fairly experienced shooter faced with only self-imposed stressors shot himself on the draw. Sure, this could have happened with any holster, but I can’t ignore the holster’s design relying on the trigger finger for activation as a strong contributing factor." "SYSCOM told Marine Corps Times the Blackhawk SERPA was selected after a series of tests... ...but the didn’t elaborate on the other competitors nor the program requirements."

+2 I have 2 of these that I use with 15/20 pmags, and they work very well. While a little pricey, they are excellent for speed reloads/emergency reloads, have good mag retention, and are easy to get the mags back in one-handed.

Damn, an hour and 20 min... Been looking for an opportunity to meet you and free beer is tempting, but as I said - Damn Can't help you out on this one boss...

lightweight, rock solid design, and that latch is built like a tank.... I'd buy another but I'm fresh out of new rifles

Corrected it for you. Did you find this on a NY, CA, or MA forum where 10 rounds is the legal hand gun limit?

See this thread, and check my second post ( #9) for links to instructions and illustrations. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/34176-ace-stock-paracording/page__fromsearch__1

Perfectly fine and legal is this great state of ours. And a nice stock too, very light, very short, and allows a "squared to target" shooting style compared to being bladed. I've owned 2 of them Here's one of them wrapped with paracord.

(4) 15/20 LR20 Pmags ordered - Excellent .308 goodness

Yup. It's a crappy cell phone pic, But I've done it twice, and it comes out pretty good. I recommend tacking down the loop end with a piece of tape, so it will stay straight when you wrap along the buffer tube, Good Luck!

A good decision, and a nice shooting facility. Now you can invite me to be your guest!!

+100 I understand money is tight, but $2 or $3 more to help support a forum vendor is $2 or $3 to help keep NJ gun shops/supporters in business.... Money well spent in my opinion.

+100.... A vertical foregrip is NOT THE SAME as a Pistol grip. This is a black/white issue - nothing confusing about it at all.

To be valid you need to have a carry license in your state of residency. So while I may have a Utah CCL, it would not count towards this bill because I do not have a NJ carry license...

... only if you hit what your aiming at. And that takes practice - which dry firing excels at since it mimics all muscle interactions, involves getting a quick & clear sight picture, can be done in your home or at the range, and it's free! If you owned a glock would you never field strip it because it involved pulling the trigger, and you could take someone's life while cleaning it? Just saying...

I dry fire all the time with dummy rounds. I am right now. Dry firing is a great way to get trigger time as well as practice weapon manipulation in regards to malfunctions, holster draws, etc. I see no reason not to - pending it won't damage your firearm.

Got to see one up close while at TJ Sporting Arms the other night. Looks very solid! However, I would have to find a way to fit 5' furring strips in the back of my civic.....

Last I checked Paul has one in stock...

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind

+1. For anyone who would "walk away" or "pack up" as soon as they saw an instructor was down range and they were asked to fire- what will you do you when: A home invader has your wife hostage at gunpoint? OR An active shooter is killing people at will in a crowded area, and you have the chance to end it? Are you going to "walk away" then, or reflect on the training you received, and take the shot someone other than your target downrange?

How was the meeting? Any video, minutes, commentary, anything, available for those of us who were unable to attend?

Semi-auto .308 rifles I have owned personally and/or shot for groups: DPMS LR308 24" barrel - ~ .5 MOA DPMS LR308B 18" barrel - ~ .5 MOA Knights SR25 - ~ .5 MOA Larue OBR - ~ .5 MOA A lot of the accuracy from semit-auto's is based around the trigger and the operator. And similar to what Ben wrote above - it's always the human component that makes groups open up.

I believe it's on Revision stuff. However, they make excellent ballistic eyewear - shooting glasses, sunglasses, and goggles... At 30% they are priced close to retail on some items, so not a huge savings.
