No pics until after August 29 - OGAM sucks! New STI Off-Duty is on the way.

The STI is a clear winner if funds allow. The Springfield GI is also an excellent first 1911 choice. My first was a Springfield Stainless GI. It has been flawless from day one. I did have the sights changed to the white dot sights as on the MilSpec because my tired old eyes didn't like the stock GI sights. I also run a Limber .22 conversion top end on it at times and, it too, has been 100% problem free. Welcome to the addiction!

Many locals (and I) enjoy Campino's on Jabez Street in Newark. The food is great, the bar fantastic and they have their own lot. It's kind of out of the way (off Delancey off Rt.1) but worth it.

No No NO! Obviously you don't run 78 to/from work. Shall we start the discussion about the PA drivers on their morning commute? It's past time to blow up all of the bridges across the Delaware

I visited Jim today to pick up my fourth handgun; two new from him, two used and transferred through him. I fully support all of the other positive comments about the operation - fan-damn-tastic! If you want a showroom with glass cabinets and a 'pretty' environment look elsewhere. If you want excellent prices and great service Jim is the guy in NJ. He and Kurt are fun guys to talk to also!

Does that mean you cannot place your handgun case (locked) inside your travel suitcase? Does the TSA put it back in there? How do you know the case is locked and the gun still in it if all you get bback is the key? Something seems wrong with my understanding - I hope!

My granddaughter just flipped a coin. SpecialK is heads, j0n is tails. And the winner is......................................................... Our newest U.S. Citizen, SpecialK Congrats on the important step, SpecialK as well as a small bonus! PM your info and I will mail it out to you on Monday. I guess maybe either holsters have little appeal in NJ or maybe NJ guys don't understand the whole Karma thing!

You are 100% correct. I had a brain freeze. Thanks! PS: has anyone heard anything more about the proposed purchase card to replace the PP for purchases from dealers

And that assumes the date of issue on the PP is actually the date when you are allowed to pick them up. I typically get the call 5 days or so later, so my third permit is worthless from the git go. Haven't tried for an extension yet but I'm willing to bet a box of .22LR it will take 90 days to get it extended!

This needs to be made a sticky!!!!!

Hey guys - this isn't a FleaBay auction where the last bid wins! Maybe a holster wasn't the best choice for a Karma in NJ

I understand, Matt... the same thought ran through my feeble mind on the Valor. It's 'supposed' to be a great ceramic over stainless, but we'll see. I actually would have gone for a stainless Valor but this one popped up on my radar as a used gun with a fantastic price. I just couldn't say no! The CCO is new, black and proud of it If NJ ever gets carry (fat chance in my lifetime) it will be more 'stealth' than a shiny whatever. Besides - I like it My Springer is SS and I'm happy with that, too. One size does not fit all

[sorry if this is a duplicate post. I suspect I forgot to hit the Post New Topic button awhile ago] It has been a very long time coming but the day has finally arrived. My 2010 CCO has been joined in the harem by my new-to-me 2009 Valor! They snuggled up real nice and already started making suggestions that more family members would be welcome.

Matt kicked off the first NJ Gun Forums karma and I was lucky enough to have my name selected as the winner. My work schedule has been unreal so I am just now getting around to posting a pass-it-forward karma. Pretend you live in a free state and have a 5" 1911. You would then need a holster to house it, right? Well - this is your chance! This holster is in cordovan (the flash makes it look lighter than in person) and was made by a member of one of the 1911 forums. I have never worn it (I live in NJ!) but did keep my Springfield stainless GI 1911 in it for awhile. This karma will run for a week. I will pick the winner at random by throwing a dart at a printout of all those who enter. The winner will be announced next Saturday or as soon thereafter as possible. Duh - I forgot! All you have to do to enter is post a message in this thread stating you are in!!!

Wow! I'm thrilled, Matt. Thank you very much for starting the Karma thread here at NJGF and picking my name! I am traveling on business this week but will post a "pass it forward" Karma when I return. Thanks again, Jack

I won't hijack your thread with a bunch of gun porn but here is one on my new Dan Wesson CCO:

You are managing to stay one gun a month ahead of me, Tony! Jim Flynn's safe must be getting dry - guess we should order up some more for him to keep for us. I got my CCO and the Valor shoul dend its prison sentence May 7. Nice looking 1911 - enjoy it. jack

I'm in Matt. Of course, Only COTEP members need apply

Yet another reason to own an airplane!

I run a Kimber conversion on my Springfield GI 1911. Flawless operation, cheap to run .22LR and no need to burn a purchase permit!

NJSP in Kingwood is almost exactly the same. 31 days X 4 = 4 months!!!

Yep - Essex County

I saw this on the way home from work this evening and just had to bust out the phone camera. I do not know how to zoom in and crop the picture but I think you will get the idea anyway.

My first 1911 is a Springfield Stainless GI with MilSpec white dot sights and custom grips. In the background is my new Dan Wesson CCO (still virgin). I'd like to get an Officer size 1911 next, maybe a New Agent.
