Of actual shooting? Maybe 20 minutes, with 10 minutes spent reloading mags. I always start with my .22lr pistol and work my way up to my service calibers... and I usually only bring one caliber (9mm or .45ACP). Go in, bang-bang-bang, and then leave. It's nice that RTSP is nearby and I can go usually once a week. Sometimes twice.

Because I don't have a 'real concealed carry situation'... Even when I go out of state for work I don't carry (checking a gun, taking it, leaving it in a hotel since most Gov't facilities don't allow it)... and the 30 minutes I spend in PA going to the range isn't really worth the hassle of me carrying. I just want a rig that I can throw on when I need a pistol/mags on the go or for competition. As for a 'battle rig', I'm working on that too... that will have a handgun holster, mag holsters, as well as drop pouch and AR-15 mag holders...

Congrats!! All I need to do is pass the bow exam, and I'll be good for all 3!

http://www.comp-tac.com/product_info.php?products_id=129 Was looking at this following the recent IDPA/USPSA intro class. I figured I'd run with my Glock 17, but would also like to be able to use a Glock 19 as a back-up, and I figured the G17 holster would hold both pistols. For the price, is this a good intro rig? Right now I have a flimsy belt and some fabric mag holders for my Glock 21... but given cost and 'buy once cry once', I figured I'd try this out. Thoughts?

...and the mags courtesy of your friend... *cough cough* (be glad I bought out all of MTN Armory's 15/20s at one point last year!)

No can do on Easter, family obligations.

Definitely a great class! I really enjoyed it despite leaving my belt/holster at home :/ Thanks Mike for running the class, and thanks to Maks and Krdshrk for loaning me equipment to participate. Good meeting you guys!
-
Well... in this state, it's only a matter of time before they get you for something....
-
Wait... so Glock 22 mags can hold/feed 9mm rounds? What about .357SIG Glock mags? Aren't they functionally similar to a Glock 22 mag?
-
Because it's a Right... though, given where I work, I probably won't CCW very often.

Seriously... I'm curious to see how he got that one tossed!

It's not really our fault... From what I heard, gun owners in this state have been valiantly fighting for their rights since the AWB was implemented, and before that. The problem is, the political make-up of the state has changed to such a degree that the legislature is permanently Blue, and the Governor's seat is occupied by a succession of Democrats and RINOs... which in-turn means the State Supreme Court is packed with Blue-leaning justices. Even 'holding the line' is difficult, and that's what the community has been doing since 1996... and even then we've seen some defeats, like One-Gun-A-Month... People say: "well, if there were more gun owners, it would change!!!" I would estimate given the number of hunters and NICS checks, we got at least a million gun owners in this state, maybe even two. But we're all so spread out that the voting power is diluted. I used to get mad at NJ gun groups for not doing enough... but that's not the case. It's just we're so limited in all our options.

That's so expensive... Why not an Elzetta light mount with a Streamlight LED? Total cost would be about $100... I mean, it's your money, but damn.
-
Nope. In all honesty, what routes are left but for the Federal Gov't to step in to protect our Rights? Look at our options: 1. Legislative Change: Not going to be happen thanks to the gerrymandering and legislative make-up. 2. NJ Courts: State Supreme Court is like a Military Junta here... they have way too much power and hate us. 3. Federal Courts: If we can make a good enough case, then maybe we will see the Feds overturn NJ's onerous laws. Nice thing here is that it can happen an CA and give us the case law to affect change here. As a community, the best we can do is donate money to local pro-2A groups (NJ2AS, ANJRPC) and try to grass-roots some change. I think we're doing quite well here. These forums alone are making a huge impact...

Right, but all that did was force the NJAG to clarify what 'substantially identical' meant. Crap like banning bayo lugs, flash hiders, adjustable stocks, are their interpretation of it. What's stopping them from expanding that? Heck, what about banning it by color? Any rifle that is 100% black is banned because the Colt AR-15 was black. Seems to me they can do it, right now, and then the burden shifts onto gun owners to fight it in the Courts... and with the NJ Supreme Court these days, it wouldn't be an easy win.
-
Without a case law to back it up, I'm not really sure that's the case. Seems to me that in order to get nabbed by this crap, you need to do something serious to warrant it. Seriously... everything we're afraid of is really in the AC, and the AC can change on a whim... I mean, what's stopping them from unilaterally deciding all AR-15s are not reasonably different from ones on the banned list? The same arguments we use to point out the fallacy in their AWB can also be used to support an expansion of the ban to include our currently NJ-legal rifles.

Ew, friggin gross.

Something accurate, cheap, with decent iron sights. Preferably a break-open design which can use inexpensive shotgun primers. Lightweight is also a plus... I see a few at Cabelas every now and then at around $250... dunno how good they are.
