Hello and welcome!

I just saw that myself, and not being a revolver guy, I thought it looked pretty slick.

This is not my pic, I found it at: http://zombiehunters.org/forum/viewtopi ... 6&start=24 This is a tentative release date for the Magpul items! No, I have no relations to them (I know I talk about their products a lot), just a fanboy I suppose And yes, as long as the price isn't outrageous, I might have to get an iPhone field case! Haha.

I'm no lawyer either. From what I learned about [shifting] ROEs (rules of engagement) is that the most important thing about situations like that is 1. avoiding it all together and 2. deescalating said situation (like running if you have the avenue of escape). But if the guy lunges at you, and you draw... and he suddenly backs off, I think that would be considered appropriate action on your part... personally if it escalated to the point where I actually had to draw my sidearm, there would have been at least two or three shots at center mass regardless. Not that I would ever want to fire on another human, but to me a situation where a legal CCWer has to draw must be pretty dire situation indeed. Like NJ609 said, the measures are probably to prevent idiots and a**holes from getting themselves or others hurt... *And brandishing.

Don't worry about having small-ish hands. I have butcher hands myself, so I feel your pain. Most grips will vary due to what type of magazine they hold (double stack or single stack), but, for example, an XD9 with a 3'' barrel has the same grip as one with a 5'' barrel. I think most new people to guns get the misconception that a larger model, say a full-sized 1911, would be more difficult to grip then a sub-compact, like a Glock 26. Because of this, I would, like others, highly recommend going to a place like Shore Shots (who have a very wide variety of rental guns) or to the group shoots we have weekly at Brick Armory (check the "Events," and you'll see we put up a post weekly... you can feel free to request if someone would be willing to bring whichever model you might be interested in... which would be far cheaper then doing rentals IMO). You do not need a FID to rent at Shore Shots or Brick Armory, though I would recommend going with someone who knows how to answer questions you might bring up and to maybe show you proper gun handling/range etiquette (to include any range officers present). As for my opinion, I would agree with the Beretta 92, any polymer (Glock, XD, M&P), SR9... I've heard good and bad things about the SW Sigma. I've heard the grip is amazing, but one would have to get accustomed to the trigger. I've also heard some pretty good things about the Tauras 24/7 series, though I've never shot one. My only advice, and others would agree, is that if you're going to go polymer, stick with 9MM like you're already planning. I have an XD in 40 myself, and while I've grown accustomed to it, it is still a bit snappy.

You can always call PA stores, and see what they have...

Hello and welcome. I use to frequent NB a lot, though my buds have moved out to Edison since. You're right on about protecting yourself though... in 2006 my friend's had their place broken in to (at night when they were sleeping!), and then in 2008 in a different house (a block down from their old one), a shoot out took place on their street. What types of HD weapons were you thinking of?

Happy bday man.

I was thinking the same thing. I might have the opportunity to get out of NJ/dodge soon, and I'm liking the look of it for CCW.

Yea... well, still is kind of... but Cheyenne is right behind the old Harry's, right next to the new Harry's

Vets and active duty in civies can salute too now.

You can always purchase a SCAR, have it altered to be compliant (not sure if FNH would do it in-house), and shipped here. Though, you're looking at 2000+ for the rifle itself, before anything else. As for the muzzle device, I'm looking at the official FNH SCAR site, and it lists it as "- Three-prong flash suppressor," so that would seem to be a no-go. As for the stock, I'm sure someone could figure out how to pin it, but I haven't heard of anyone trying to pin those types of stocks yet. A bit off topic, but maybe there would be some interest for it, is the recent news of the Remington/Bushmaster ACR almost ready to hit the civilian market. Its only what I've read from different sources that are reporting from SHOT show going on right now (regarding the price), and maybe anyone who is there can comment. The ACR comes with a fixed stock variation, but all models have the A2 flash hider... so, that would need to be altered. The official Bushmaster site is up with the technical information: http://www.bushmaster.com/acr/ I've heard that the "Basic" configuration will start around 2600, and the "Enhanced" will be around 3000. While those are damn expensive prices, remember that with a simple change of the bolt, barrel, and magazine, and you can seamlessly change between 5.56 and 6.8SPC (among other innovations).

Welcome. What do you shoot?

Welcome, may see you around BA in the future

Hello and welcome to the forums. I lurk on the XD forums myself (and own an XD for that matter too).

They have amazing stuff, albeit expensive. The company funded its own R&D on theory-based products, and pitched their product to the DOD... and got a contract out of it! If I didn't have to pay for college-related stuff and other bills, I would definitely have a TA01 on my AR.

That's my understanding, too, and I find it ridiculous that it would even matter for Trijicon (such as the case of Chick-Fil-A); considering their issued products are definitive force multipliers in the battlefield right now.

I was confused myself when reading the description. My speculation is similar to CSJ in that there will be three products, where the max limit is whichever (5, 10, or 15), but the number of rounds that can be accepted can be set by the user. Regardless, it doesn't really matter as the max limit is 15 anyway for the product! I'm looking forward to it because it *should* decrease the cost, and the fact its being done in-house by the original company is a plus.

I was going through the Magpul 2010 catalog, and saw that they will be making 5/10/15 round PMags starting this year. The design will be pretty much the same as what has been offered by one of our vendors, Arms-n-Ammo, as well as other sources (riflegear.com)... it will be a blocked 20-rd magazine. Listed price is $13.95 in the catalog... so maybe NJ-compliant magazines will be easier to come by now for a decent price. Here's a cutout from the online catalog:

So Chick-Fil-A should close up shop now because of their company practices... eh.

I wouldn't mind going back out to Colorado, absolutely gorgeous out there year round. Big Sky Country is pretty nice, though they have some cold winters. Personally I hope my career takes me oversea though.

Exactly what I was thinking, Maks. I know this is a "fun" thread so I won't get too serious. But let's put it this way... if you asked me what I wanted for my country, I could give you one list. If you asked me what I would do with a power that probably far exceeds any expectations I might have for it...? Well, a despotic system sure is easier and more lucrative! This is the reason why I never, ever want to involve myself in the political system... no matter how righteous someone may be, it brings out the worst in people.

That is an unfortunate issue :snooty:

Not bad, but I still hate Suckcast :evil:

As its been said, there might be more to the story, so, I won't speculate on that. However, should we forget the incident a couple years ago with the individuals who were planning on an attack at Ft Dix? The group of guys who made that home video or whatever. I'm not saying that the persons here in question did anything wrong whatsoever; I'm just saying that the Ft Dix incident might still be fresh in some people's minds. Does that give them, Walgreens, a right to discriminate? No way-- but we don't know that without knowing the specific of the details... which we don't. Long story short, who gets hard copy photos anymore? If you want them for insurance purposes, get a digital camera, and put them on separate flash drives or something.
