Delran Junior Marksmen - CLOSED
I shoot in Philadelphia indoor. Firing Line allows Pistol Caliber Carbines and Philadelphia Archery and Gun allows high powered rifles. Of course there is Hagues in Thorofare and Range 14. I'm just wondering what happened to the club. I went to the website and it seems like the town shut them down?

Welcome, brother. Take a look at the video below and share it with your friends. The Second Amendment Society is pretty active on these boards and helps New Jersey Shooters keep the rights they have and gain new ones.

School me on gun sales in NJ
Option #2. Search Gunbroker.com and have the gun shipped to an FFL in New Jersey. The FFL can pin the magazines. I know Paul does it. I'm sure JET Agent will do it as well.

Can anyone talk me out of it?
Let me preface this with saying that I would buy anything that was shiny and had a Beretta logo on it. The PX4 Compact has the same form factor as the G19, takes 15 round mags, recoils like a cream puff and has curves that give Sofía Vergara a run for her money. And if you insist on a striker-fired gun, the Smith & Wesson M&P9 Compact is everything the Glock was supposed to be from the start, and actually fits a human hand. I would not buy a Glock when there are better options that are out there. But that does not mean I wouldn't encourage someone else to do so. If you LOVE it, buy it. Life is too short to shoot guns that somebody else thinks you should have. The fact of the matter is that you can't go wrong buying a G19. You will always be able to get magazines and parts for it. You will be able to buy .22 LR conversion kits for it and shoot it for cheap. It will go bang every time that you pull the trigger. There is a reason why the G19 is so popular. You won't regret your purchase.

Question regarding obtaining handgun license
Wait a sec... I think I remember you. You were driving in Cherry Hill when this happened and you happened to have the shotgun stock in the back of your Jeep, right? You had just bought the gun, right? You are fine. Go back and apply for your pistols and enjoy.

At Range 14 today.. nice day..
I was on the pistol range from around 10AM to 12 with my friend and a co-worker who is interested in buying a gun. It was an expensive day... total round count 775 rounds down range. But I always consider it a good day when I come back empty. There was a family next to me who was shooting a Ruger Blackhawk and kindly let me shoot it. I've never been a big fan of single action revolvers guns, but after watching 6 straight hours of Hatfields and McCoys I think my obstinacy is waning. Looks like a Ruger Blackhawk and lever-action Henry is in my future... That is one of the reasons I like Ft. Dix. The people there always seem friendly and are willing to let you see and shoot their stuff. I tend to get some attention once in a while with my PX4 (few people have them) and I always let people shoot it if they are interested.

Police Captain said I can't Get an FID because of my Misdemeanor (Not Domestic Violence)
I am not a lawyer, but if you were never charged with anything, I don't see how it could still be on your record. Something is not right, and those somethings can come back and haunt people. IMHO, If you can't afford $1,000 for an Attorney, you can't afford a $600 gun and all of the stuff that goes with it either. Find the money. Get the record expunged. Who knows when stuff like this could turn up again. Then resubmit.

Ruger security six blued $475
It's not a great price, but 20 years from now when you are giving that gun to your son, you won't remember that you paid $75 more for it, but your son will remember this classic gun. Is it a little overpriced? I think so? Are you getting ripped off? No. If you like it, buy it. I guarantee it will still be shooting 20 years from now.

recommendation for 9mm bulk ammo
Where are you located? Ammoman down in Berlin sells ammo, but can't ship to NJ residents. You'll have to go to their warehouse.

Old 18 round rifle illegal?
Technically, this Mossberg is legal, even with the collapsible stock.... well, the NJ model that does not have the flash suppressor.

Collingswood Wait Time
I have a friend of mine who went to put in his FID paperwork, but was told to come back for an interview. What is the FID / Wait time like in Collingswood? Are they fast? Any additional forms?

WTB: S&W M&P 9mm Mags

Ruger security six blued $475
It seems a little too high. You are getting into used GP100 territory there. I would say that $375 or $400 would be better.

Question about sighting in an AR
Well, you wouldn't necessarily make wind adjustments with the rear sight. I've shot out to 300 yards before with both a 16 and 20 inch AR which is about the best you can hope for with iron sights (although Marines traditionally shoot out to 500 yards with them). At 300 yards and in wind doesn't really factor that much at "our" (and my "our" I mean recreational as opposed to sniper) level. If you shoot with your right eye, it could be a little off to the right... Does your sight picture look like this? The front sight should be clear. The rear sight should be a little fuzzy and the target should be a little fuzzy as well.

New Member - Medford Area
Welcome. Join NJ2AS.org . They are the guys who will fight for your rights when others won't. I live in Cherry Hill, which is about a half hour away from Medford to the west. Range 14 at Ft. Dix is close to Medford and is a bargain at $60 per year and $4.00 per person per hour to shoot. It is outdoor, though. Hagues is Thorofare is good, although expensive. If you want indoor ranges in that area, your best bests are in Philadelphia. I personally shoot at Firing Line on Front. St. in Philadelphia. Philadelphia Archery and Gun is beautiful, but expensive. There is also Double Tap which I believe is right over the bridge close to Bristol, but I've only been there once. Their prices are a little lower and they may not be worth the drive. Welcome back, now pay those Medford taxes...

Question about sighting in an AR
If you can Use your left eye if that is what you are comfortable with. I would reset your sight to battlesight zero (the center). Try putting your nose on the tip of the charging handle and re-zero. That should get your head to the right place.

Need advice on deciding between 2 HG's (Glock or Beretta)
There is one plus to the Glock - you can get a .22 Caliber conversion kit and shoot cheaper ammo. I own the PX4 Compact and I love it. It's probably has the lowest recoil of any gun I own. The rotating barrel soaks up most of the recoil. It's small enough to conceal (I conceal it in PA), but with a big enough capacity to be used for home defense. It's the Goldielocks of guns. Not too big, not too small - just right. Beretta has a winner with it. Personally, you can't go wrong with either gun. I would suggest that you buy both, but if I could have only one, it would be the PX4.

vertical foregrips
Funny you mention that. I have an Israeli friend who said that his Galil had a bottle opener built into the weapon because too many Israeli soldiers were using the breech to open bottles. In the American Army they just would have given anyone who damaged a breech an Article 15.
