Welcome!

The link doesn't work, from the link here, or the link on the main NJCSD site.

If you're going to invest that sorta money for 1 handgun, its not being a pain by trying to find out as much as you can. All the 1911's i've shot have been slightly different in their own regards, but the baseline performance will be about the same. Each one adds their slight nuances that just make it more customized depending on what the owner wants. You don't have to research the gun so much as you have to research all the available options.

Its already been in the national spotlight. The tennessee incident where the wife had her CCW but had to leave her weapon in the car to enter the restaurant, and her husband was shot and killed. CCW is to give you the opportunity to defend yourself if the need arises. And those with CCW tend to be more law abiding than the general population, so there will be alot more incidents of someone protecting themselves or others than there will be a CCW getting drunk and having an accident. Restricting the CCW by the business is still restrictions. And any advocation for more restrictions is directly feeding into the anti-gun mentality. They've already got you thinking about the negative what ifs as opposed to the postive what-ifs. The positive always outwieghs the negative, but it just doesn't get media coverage. Its the reason reality TV is so popular. No one wants feel good news or stories. Fear drives viewers, and announcing successful firearm defenses doesn't scare anyone, it would only make them feel safer and then they'd go outside and not watch as much TV.

I don't see it dropping too much. The talk is about an ammo shortage due to the wars... but the wars have been going on for close to 8 years now, and there wasn't a shortage before. Stock is still coming in regularly, just in smaller batches. 18 states are trying to pass the "Ammunition Accountability Act", which requires a serial number of every individual round of ammunition. The manufacturers immediately started making less so they aren't stuck with stock. The Act itself is ridiculous, because the serial numbers can't reliably be read or even seen after they're fired, but it didn't stop the ammunition manufacturers from slowing down. So its already had its impact again on the law abiding gun owners. I can understand the manufacturers concerns with having to throw away stockpiles of ammunition and spend the money to get all new equipment to be able to accomplish what the act calls for. So don't expect ammo prices to steadily come down unless the bills all fail. And its going to be even worse if any state actually passes it. We have a hard time getting ammo shipped to NJ now from alot of retailers, so imagine how bad it would be if the manufacturers had to make special ammo only for our state. Would they even bother, or would it become a defacto ban on all handgun ammunition and all rifles that used those same calibers.

Yeah, just to echo and add what maksim said, do some research, rent a few to try out, before you buy. You don't want to buy something that you end up hating. Save up and get something decent that you like and are comfortable with. And definitely think about the cost. Its an expensive hobby, and if you're getting something cheap, then you're going to end up like Chad, and have it just collecting dust at home and never shooting it. Don't be a Chad. <-- new njgunforum slogan? lol

Let me know how those optics work out. The one thing I learned from photography is good glass isn't cheap and you get what you pay for.

Look at the Biovault 2.0. It has the AC/DC adapter, so you can plug it in, and use the batteries incase of power outage or cut cables. As with most biometrics, use the key entry for everyday use, and the fingerprint entry for emergency use, since the coils used to open the biometric lock can wear down with use. That way you can keep the key locked away from kids, and in an emergency, just use the biometric scanner. No different than having a battery in your alarm clock for power outages. And just swap out the batteries from time to time with regular maintenance.

Welcome from Toms River. I've been a busy bee, and being a monday, I'm too tired to and lazy to say hi in each thread lol.

The tiesto acoustics might be worth 2500, but depending on if its an asian import, it norms could be worth $35.

I think we have a clue.... lol

Nope, He died of Food Poisoning... they found 12yr old nuts in his mouth.

So basically in Toms River, I just got reduced to 2 handguns a year, since it takes 6 months per permit. Guess i'm only buying Sigs, since I can get 3-4 calibers per handgun on the same permit.

Idiots. Time to hit all 800k owners and make sure not a single of those 21 get revoted in.

I'll definitely check it out.

I see Singer all the time where I work, and he's definitely against it. I'll have to ask him next time how this slipped in without advance notice though.

lol yeah Daniel, THE is always in caps with you when it comes with sigs. I need a crip sheet on proper cleaning/greasing as soon as my p229 comes in, whenever that is. Then i'll start workin on Milton for the sig556 I think those that SIG's don't feel comfortable in their hands, buy glocks...

I think it all comes down to personal preference and familiarity. I've shot Mak's CZ, and HK, but for me personally, nothing feels better in the hand then the Sig. I'm aware of the plastic guide rods, and I also know of a few places where you can get steel ones. I used the 226 in the navy, and even after not shooting for 12 years, shooting one last week just felt natural.

Welcome!

In this day and age, opinions are spread faster than fact. And those opinions are based on perception. To someone who doesn't know Manny personally, that one statement in the paper just made him sound like a loon. I'm sure the people who know him will defend him and give testimonials, and I don't personally feel that way about him, but the damage is already done. Its all about perception, and to the average person picking up the paper today, that's what they are going to think about all gun shop owners. The media will spin it and build on it, and God forbid there's any complaints about the Bullet Hole or Gun for Hire, because as soon as there is, that statement will be used to show a mentality that doesn't reflect well on them. I know Anthony didn't say it, but being in the same article, its guilt by association. Gun owners and especially shop/range owners and instructors need to be smart about how they present themselves. We're already under enough scrutiny in this state, and comments like these do nothing to help change the laws in NJ in our favor. I know the comment was an analogy and not a threat, but I've already overheard 2 members here at work (at a golf course), talk about "threatening congressmen". It doesn't matter how anything you say is meant, its how its perceived. Just like Letterman's joke about Palin's Daughter. You do have the right to say anything and everything you want under the First, but the other side has the right to also use your free speech against you at every available opportunity.

I told my father i was gonna take him shooting, so he woke me up at 7:10..... BA doesn't open til 9. Went thru 400 rounds of .22 and had a great time.

I saw a post by maksim on njcsd forums, so headed over and the rest is history

My brother and sis-in-law just got a new forester... the interior is actually very nice. And 26mpg on a awd is very big plus.

What response? Where does it seem like an emergency situation at all? The location is a bar. The other cars there don't have lights or sirens on. He's picking up his wife. His wife just happened to be at an emergency situation? lol. He never left the car to check the situation, and not at any time in the video, do you see a situation occuring, nor do you hear any situation report come over the radio. If all the officers are inside dealing with a situation, wouldn't he have to actually go inside and check that its under control. If he could show up, evaluate the situation, and pull out all in 10 seconds, he's very good. But being very good was disproven when he totally ignored the patient in the ambulance. Am I making something out of the response that isn't there, or am I just showing how it looks like it wasn't a response at all. We can argue all day about what we see in the video, and it all comes down to perception. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

And you know this how? What is the data you are basing that comment on? Response to a scene populated by other police vehicles, three that can be seen isn't an emergency? If you have information not already posted I'd love to read it. If he was responding to an emergency, he would have spent longer than 10 seconds before he pulled out. He turns off his siren before he arrives, picks up his wife who is outside waiting, and then proceeds to pull out and go after the ambulance because he made a hand gesture at him. And if it was an emergency situation, and he left that emergency after 10 seconds to pursue someone who flipped him off, he's even more mentally instable that we initially thought.
