  1. Oh... and one more thing... We have Sweeny, who probably won't let this bill hit the floor, and Governor Christie who probably wouldn't sign it if it came across his desk. Should we fight it? Absolutely. But we have a few heavyweights in our corner.
  2. It's Greenwald again. He tried it two years ago... he's trying it again. This is the bill that initially got me into political action. I went to his office last year. I'll go to his office again if this gets legs. Note that just because something gets introduced, doesn't mean its going to get passed.
  3. IMHO, you can't go wrong with a Glock 19, a Sig P226, a Beretta 92FS. #1. They all have 15 rounds of capacity - the legal limit in NJ. #2. They all have .22LR conversion kits so that you can shoot cheaper .22LR ammo #3. They all shoot 9mm. Now, that being said, are there some guns you should avoid? Absolutely. Any gun that holds more that 15 round in a "free" state like the Glock17, SR9, Springfield XD or Full-sized Beretta PX4 will come with 10 round magazines.
  4. It's a fine rifle. Now get the 10/22 Tec Sights for it and turn it into a tack driver.

    I shoot clays with an M500 sometimes. IMHO, if you take the money you would spend on a new gun, and use it to buy shells to practice with your 590, you will get better than you ever will with a semi-auto.
  6. Humm... Maybe you should name yourself "Students for Sensible Gun Control." Of course you need as range day to show how these weapons can be used to kill... never mind how much fun they are to shoot, of course. Just ignore that part.
  7. You know, it is a state school. If they are taking state money, I don't think that they can pick and choose what clubs to have. There are freedom of speech issues there. I don't see what is so offensive about safe firearms handling. You have a "Students for Sensible Drug Policy" club for Pete's sake... at least shooting a firearm is a lawful activity.
  8. No collapsible stock (pinned). No bayonet lug No flash hider Does have a Pistol Pistol grip You have 1 evil feature and are good to go. Enjoy some time at the range...

    You can't go wrong with a Glock. It's not my favorite... to me, Glocks have no soul like a 1911 or the sexyness of a PX4. But this gun isn't for me, it's for you. Enjoy it and shoot the hell out of it.
  10. +1 Guns are nice.
  11. mcbethr replied to Bully's topic in Handguns
    I suppose part of the question should be: "Why do you ask?" If you own both and are looking to carry, I would go with the SP101. If you have narrowed down your choices to these two, seriously consider looking at an LCR or Kel Tec PF9. I originally carried a PX4 Storm Compact... but it was just too thick. It can be done, but I've noticed that my Kel Tec PF9 is thinner. And it seems like thin makes the biggest difference when carrying. The only reason I'm carrying my PX4 Tonight is that my PF9 has a broken assembly pin. Else, that's that's what I'd go with.
  12. mcbethr replied to Bully's topic in Handguns
    If I could only pick two, it would be the SP101. #1. It will run forever, #2. It has a less propensity to jam #3. You can fire it from a purse or inside a coat pocket. #4. Ammo is cheaper #5. Quality is better. All that being said, I'm carrying my PX4 Compact in Philadelphia tonight.

    I fired a S&W 500 once... once. It was at an indoor range. One shot and I was done. If you are going to buy it because of the cool factor, go ahead. You'll put 10 rounds through it every year and it *is* something different. I think if you live on internet gun forums, Bear attacks are startlingly common. If you do a little research, they are exceptionally rare. And when they do happen, it seems like it's usually someone who either #1, did something stupid or #2, kept bears as a pet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_bear_attacks_in_North_America#2010s Of course, I say this from a nice, safe computer screen in Cherry Hill. If I lived in Sussex county, I would be singing a different tune.
  14. Chocolate Covered Oreos Cosmopolitan Magazine A box of Tampons (Yes, My wife makes me do this once a month when she is cramping and doesn't want to get out of bed)
  15. PM Me. I have a friend of mine who has a Sig P226 with 2 magazines and a right-handed holster who wants to sell it. He's had it for 10 years and shot it twice. I know it because he went to the range with me the second time and still had the original box of ammunition. I'll put you in touch with him.
  16. \ I gotta get me one of those...
  17. You're good. The restriction is 50 ounces unloaded and nothing can have the magazine well outside of the pistol grip. It was basically their way of banning TEC-9's and 100 ounce MAC-10's.
  18. First off, I'm sorry for your loss. Make sure the pistols comply with NJ's laws. We've already covered the magazines, but are we talking any AR pistols, MAC-10's or TEC-9's? Can you provide a list of the pistols that you inherited? Note that if they are all revolvers, you are fine, but in NJ, pistols can't be over a certain weight or have the magazine well forward of the pistol grip.
  19. Found it http://lonelymachines.org/mall-ninjas/
  20. Gecko 45... is that you? Just kidding... some here know the story. For those who don't, google it.

    Um... Actually the Beretta PX4... Oh well, some guys go home with the beautiful Italian prom queen and some guys prefer the stern Austrian Hausfrau.... this is why they make different guns, I suppose. Everybody owns a G21. IMHO, get the G20. If you can reload for 10mm, you will never be out of ammo and you can really push that cartridge to the limit. I would be different just to be different and be the only guy at the range with a 10mm. I've said this before. Life is too short to shoot the guns that other people think you should have. You want the 10mm and are trying to get us talk you out of it. Just buy it. It's what you really want and will make you happy. Enjoy it.
  22. Pros: 1. It's a Beretta 2. It's a Beretta 3. Fully ambidextrous. You can set it up to eject to the left or the right. Same with the magazine release and charging handles and safety. 4. You can add two charging handles: one on each side. 5. Comes with a rail for a flashlight or laser. 6. Will make you the envy of others at the range. You will end up with an Italian sports car and a beautiful Italian blonde who will go shooting with you, cook you a delicious meal and dance the Tarantella until dawn. 7. Very easy to dissemble. Runs dirty. Eats anything you feed it, including the steel-cased stuff, although Beretta warns against it. 8. Very, very accurate , even out to 150 yards. 9. Can take 92FS mags or PX4 mags, depending on the setup. If you buy a PX4, you can swap out a mag well insert and the gun will accept PX4 Magazines. It also takes Cougar magazines if you choose to buy one of those. Cons: 1. Trigger is a little mushy. The Sierra Papa upgrade is helpful, but not absolutely necessary. 2. You will constantly be asked by other people at the range "What is that?" 3. Dancing the Tarantella with a beautiful Italian woman until dawn can be fatiguing. Buy the CX4. Honestly, if I could only have one rifle, this would be it.
  23. +1 I wo I will admit that I have done that myself with my tiny Swiss Army knife that I mainly use for cutting cigars. So I could see how somebody would "forget."
