NJ609

Indeed it is! Their .380 went through the LCP just fine and I look forward to getting more. The price was lower than even Blazer Aluminum!

I've used Blazer in every gun I own and never had an issue. It's usually less expensive than other target ammo too which is the main plus of it.

Happy and safe holidays to all! We're doing the seafood tradition tonight as well, being Italian. THe house gets LOUD with so many of us there.

I'm not worried about legal since the criminal is breaking into my house threatening my families safety. Even in NJ, if they continue the threat towards you or another inhabitant of your house, it's legal to respond with force. I may only get one shot to protect my wife. I can't live with myself if it's a non lethal warning round and she gets hurt or god forbid worse because of that. Just something to think about.

I agree about the birdshot being a bad idea. If there was a situation where the threat made it necessary for me to use the HD shotgun, then the situation is as serious as it gets. I want to make sure that the ammo is up to the task of saving my families lives against even the most cracked out crackhead with retard strength.

Good idea to try it out!

If it was just me I'd use this, but it kicks harder than the low recoil stuff and I have to keep my wife in mind if I'm not around and she has to protect her life. Luckily they both 'work', quite brutally from the ballistics gel photos I've seen.... Have you shot it at a range at all to see how the patterns are, etc?

Just wondering what you guys have in your "hope to god I never have to use it" home defense shotgun? Right now I have Winchester Ranger Low Recoil 9 Pellet OO Buck in the tube with 4 Federal LE Tactical Low Recoil Hydra-Shok Slugs in the side saddle. You know, for if a tank breaks into my house.

100,000 XD owners disagree. I have an XD40 Tactical and a Gen 1 G17. I love them both, for totally different reasons. The XD just works for me. Every time I go to the range with it, I fall in love all over again. So many little things make it such a great gun to own and shoot. I do believe it's just as reliable as the Glock but only time will tell. With the Glock, it's the simplicity that I enjoy about it. Load the clip full of 9's, fire away. Smooth, light, accurate. Bury in sand. Take out of sand. Load, fire, repeat. The thing just won't quit! You can love both IMO. Having said that if I could concealed carry in NJ I'd purchase the small XD40, and not a Glock. That's more personal preference as I'd trust my life to either brand.

What gunsmith did you use? All the ones I asked refused to do it, said I need to send the slide back to Springfield!

Short notice, but depending on how I feel tomorrow I will be at the Bullet Hole when they open at 10. Depends if I can get a good nights sleep and fight off this cold, I don't feel like sneezing and having my ear protection fly off my head all morning. :mrgreen: Anyone interested? I'll check the thread in the morning to see if someone wants to meet up. I'm planning on testing out my HD shotgun, and bringing along my .380, .40 and .45 for some fun. Was just going to spend an hour but if there are other people I'd be happy to extent my stay to 2.

Good luck! :clap:

Just a clarification. You do not need a Firearms Purchaser ID card to buy pistols in NJ. It is almost stupid not to get one, but all that is required is the pistol purchase permit and identification. While true, the first time you apply for a pistol permit, aren't you required to get a FPID card as well if you don't have one? But even if that were not the case he'd need it for handgun ammo bought in state.

You will want to get an NJ FPID card so that you can purchase handgun ammo and other new pistols though. But you don't need it to legally own or utilize your Glock. Enjoy!

It's sad that so many in law enforcement do not understand the law nor the value of armed CITIZENS.

I put a HiVIZ on my Buckmark and I love it. Comes with different color tubes too, red and green, that you can put in as you see fit. Easy to install and cheap!

That's awesome! I will be watching that for sure.

Good for him! That's a great story. To hell with the haters and IDIOTS who don't get it.

I just put together a New England Firearms Pardner Pump 12ga setup. The firearm is well made believe it or not, and hefty which I like in a HD shotgun. It's basically an H&R clone of the 870. 6+1, can handle 2.75 and 3 (reduced capacity though), and was like $220 out the door. I added a 4 shell side saddle and a tritium front sight as well as a Streamlight TRL-1 tactical light side mounted. For what it has, it was very very easy on the wallet.

Sooooo what club can a average schmo like me join? I think I'm too old for the Boy Scouts... rofl.... I see a lot of the private clubs that you have to do service, etc etc on that list.

Definitely food for thought. Perhaps I should add the question "what is proper storage" then? Doesn't seem like they should be in the travel pouches zipped up all the time.... I don't have a humidity problem or anything but something about that just doesn't sit well with me.

Do you guys have holsters for all your pistols? I don't and I'm thinking, well wth is the point then? If I *do* have to or magically *can* carry (not in NJ.... lol) then I have no real means to do so with most of my firearms.... Also thinking storage would be better with holsters protecting them?

WELCOME TO NEW JERSEY!
