NJ609

It hurts to live here sometimes.... Ah to be free like my friends in PA.

I have not in the past because I'm not willing to pay the money to lawyer up if they then roadblock my application. However they still send out a non standard reference mailing to your home that anyone living with you has to fill out. I'm investigating how I can raise a complaint to the NJSP that this is happening.

So in the past there has been no information easily available from my local PD on the FPID/PP process. It always took around 3 months, and they'd use excused about "not receiving the character check mailings" back. I mean they lost 2 of them once. So they said! This time they have a website with the process clearly outlined, and it's taken less than a week to get the letters out and back. I mean seriously, this so far has been great although we will see how long it takes from start to finish. Change like this is usually forced though, I'm pleasantly baffled! It even says on the website that they strive to meet the 30 day deadline. I know that could just be lip service but it's amazing it's there.

The sad thing is that this PD is totally off base, and not following the law at all by saying it's required. Yet nothing can really be done about it. It's not like you can complain to them to update their website if you ever hope to get a FPID....

I figured this information could be useful to those of you who have an XD9 and want more than the 10 round magazines that they come with in NJ. (Stock ones are 16). They DO make a 15 round version, I asked and here is the sales staffs answer: Hope that info can help some of you out and get the best capacity possible in your XD9!

lol when you told me you threw your guns in the bathtub to clean the corrosive stuff out I was like WUT?!?

Then share who it was so we can send business their way as well. I'd love to have the option to get 15 round XD9 magazines....

Anyone have any experience with the Pro Mag brand? I tend to only use factory magazines but I really want the XD9 rather than the Glock 19. The 5 round difference is a real game changer though. However if I can get reliable after market magazines.... ProMag 15 rnd XD 9mm

I always enjoy utilizing my right to vote.

This is another defacto ban based on cost. And they know it. I wouldn't pay for it based on how terrible and unjust this type of system would be. If anything it's WORSE than what we have now. Shocking....

I like having a pistol grip/stock combo. Best of both worlds.

No kids so it stays loaded under the bed when I'm home, and in the safe when I am not.

I think places are so scared of the confounding set of "laws" we have (some actual and some implied) that they just default to "show me your FPID". The only thing I can consistently buy in NJ without my ID and writing my name in the log book of shame is buckshot. I even know places that do it for rifle ammo "just in case". Just in case what?!? Who the heck is going to use .300 WMAG in a pistol?

I smoothed the dimples out and get 6 rounds in the stock tube so I don't feel the need to spend money on an extension. As far as the tritium bead, I had to open up the screw hole in the barrel to 11/48 using a tap but that's not exactly difficult....

If you are keeping it for home protection, I recommend putting a cheap tritium front bead on so you can see where you are pointing the thing in the dark. I found some that were around $20 and not that difficult to install.

Glocks are excellent and that's an amazing price. Congrats!

I'm looking to get a wheel gun in this caliber some day. Having shot both the S&W's and the Ruger, you cannot go wrong with either. Personally, I prefer the Ruger. But it isn't because of any really key reason since the quality of both is excellent.

That 19 is a great pistol. I just can't stay away from the .40's though....

I have a Pardner, it's solid. It is also cheap in price, but not in quality. The thing is heavy, and well put together. I had some fun with mine and added a pistol grip, side saddle, tac light, and a tritium front sight. Oh and you can take the plug out of the tube, do a tiny bit of filing and get 6 shells to fit. And yes, it still fires reliably. I've put about 5 boxes of buckshot down range after the modification to make sure that if I need it, it won't let me down. Not one problem. Total cost for everything was probably like $350 and that's because I bought a good light.

Beautiful! I absolutely love my XD-40 Tactical, and really like how they improved an already awesome firearm with the M series. I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up with an XDM one of these days!

I find it easier to just use a 12ga loaded with 00 buckshot. That way, god forbid something terrible happens, the question never even comes up. And if I run out of buckshot, well, I guess at that point the heavy Federal HS slug in the last slot will be what saves my life or not. If that's the case do you think you'd really care about the semantics?

It seems very wrong to exclude people from the process based on economic standing. And at $500 a year that's exactly what this would do. Shameful.

Man I know that feeling.... On the bright side it's time for me to start doing some serious research on AK's so I can get one for my birthday. In May. Hea it's never to early to start looking! lol

Lumped in with the newbs now? Really? Oh the shame....

Yeah, for all the talk about how AR's are a pain in the butt, difficult to clean, too expensive, prone to failures, etc etc... YOU JUST GOTTA OWN ONE. Welcome to the club.
