The 220 grain .45 Critical Duty is on the list so it's good to go. Not the 9mm or .40.
-
For defensive use, Gary Roberts' list of tested duty loads is the way to go. These loads have shown in both controlled tests and through real use by LE agencies to provide sufficient penetration and expantion the be effective. http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4337-Service-Caliber-Handgun-Duty-and-Self-Defense-Ammo Notice that Critical Defense is not on the list. There are no reliable tests showing the load to have penetration specified by the FBI protocol.

So you're saying Godzilla has not really left Japan?!?!? http://nationalreport.net/fearing-worst-godzilla-flees-japan-plans-wait-doomsday-event-mariana-trench/

Neither of the above. If a shotgun is your primary home defense weapon and you are wondering how to spend your limited remaining budget, then the answer is a defensive shotgun course from MDTS or a similarly qualified instructor. https://mdtstraining.com/services.htm

Any time you troubleshoot a problem you should change one factor at a time until you find the cause. Try using factory ammo, everything else the same and see what happens.

I disagree with the notion of using garbage magazines for "range use." First, you already spent all that money on the pistol, ammunition and range time, why create frustration of malfunctions to save a few bucks on cheap mags? More importantly, if the gun has an actual problem you may not discover it because of falsely attributing malfunctions to bad magazines.

Kimber vs? Para? Talk about the handgun Special Olympics. Throw Hi Point in there and we'd have the Dream Team. To the OP, if you really want a double stack 1911 I would look at STI before Para Ordnance.
-
If this is for defensive use, only the FNH out of the choices you listed. If this is for recreational use, I would take the Springfield because it would be the best base gun for a custom build in the future. If this is for digging a hole, propping open a door or hitting someone on the head with a heavy chunk of steel, the Para would work great.

The sad truth is that despite all the "common sense" and "reasonable" rhetoric, state uses every question on the application as an opportunity to deny people their rights. It's an adversarial relationship. OP, I am sympathetic that you are a victim of this.

If your hands are smaller than the average then you definitely want a pistol with adjustable backstrap so that it will fit your hand. Getting a proper grip is one of the key factors to managing recoil. The S&W M&P, HK P30 and Walther PPQ are all very ergonomic and come with three sizes of backstraps. The P30 also has three sizes of side panels. Even Tiny Hands Man from the BK commercial can find a perfect fit. The Gen4 Glocks have different backstraps but frankly this feature was more of a recent aftertthought but you should see how well it fits your hand.

You know what makes me afraid? The fact that members of our own community still have a self hating feeling of guilt just for owning firearms and ammo. You're doing nothing wrong. Stop looking for a reason to feel guilty.

Exactly. Just like the Muller case, they will issue him a permit to make this one go away so that they avoid exposing the absurdity to the higher court. Then they will twist this into an example that proves how the appeal process works to ensure a fair application of the law.

I support the 1st Ammendment, but it's time to stand up to the entertainment lobby and enact some common sense TV safety regulations. To protect the children from all the TV nuts. To begin with, it should be mandatory to store all TV's unplugged in a TV safe. And limit the number of TV purchases to one per month. How many TV's can you watch at a time anyway?

The 5.7 round has ony two benefits, neither of which you can take advantage of. You cannot buy the AP round and in NJ you cannot take advantage of the ultra high capacity. If you want one because it's interesting or unique then go for it, but I would never select this as a defensive pistol.
-
We should expect a new bill in New Jersey requiring a P2P for Guitar Hero. You know, to protect the children.

Trijicon HD's just released for the USPc. Not many choices but since these are some of the best options anywhere, it's a no brainer. http://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product2_hdns.php?mid=9

Magazines are not that expensive, I am fairly certain the USPc uses the same magazines as the P2000, which are available for $37 at Top Gun Supply. The USP series is also easily converted between DA/SA, LEM (my platform of choice), etc. IMHO the only drawback might be holster availability and the proprietary rail but most WML's have adapters readily available. Also, you can use P30 magazines with an Xgrip adapter if you want a little more capacity.

Don't forget the very rare Glock 7, a special pistol made entirely of porcelain to defeat metal detectors for the CIA.

A letter to the Governor? Might as well write to Santa Claus. Hire a lawyer or give up.

That's ridiculous. If you were denied for things that happened 35 and 7 years ago, waiting 6 months won't change anything. He's giving you a runaround and probably deliberately misleading you to prevent you from filing an appropriate appeal. Hire a lawyer familiar with NJ firearm laws.
