This disasembly video by Wilson Combat shows their somewhat painstaking method to disassemble the ambi safety without hurting the finish.

Read all about it here which is why I will do the transaction at a target range, specifically listed as acceptable. Come on guys, get your Gold Dot and HST here!

Thanks all. I posted my stuff in the for sale section.

All, If you don't mind, PLEASE keep this thread to the specific question of a private sale and anything I need to do or not do for this transaction. There are approximately one bazillion threads here on this board about hollowpoints for defense. Thank you.

I am getting out of the .40 S&W caliber but I stil have a healthy supply of Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot. I'd like to sell it off but first want to double check if there is any legal reason why this would be prohibited. I plan to only do a face to face sale at a range to avoid any ambiguity about the transport laws. And of course I will require the buyer to have a valid FPID. Is there anything else I am missing?

New Jersey's capacity limit is 15 rounds. Smith & Wesson sell a factory 15 round magazine for the 9mm M&P. Move along, these are not the droids you are looking for.

The entire transaction was easy and efficient. He even brought his own stamped and addressed envelopes for the P2P forms! Glad the pistol has found a good home.

Take a look in the Marketplace on this forum. Doing a face to face transfer withing the state eliminates the transfer / FFL fees.

If you bottle feed your baby, you're sort of a terrorist. Sort of. It's common sense.

PatriotOak is correct, you do not need to register your handguns but you MUST be sure to transport them according to NJ's arcane and confusing regulations. Google "Brian Aitken" for an example of someone who inadvertently failed to comply with some of the administrative requirements (or did comply depending on interpretation) and got 7 years hard time. Yes, 7 years. Start with the sticky on top of this forum. Once you've read it thoroughly please ask any questions you might have. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29389-nj-law-summary-read-first-nj-gun-law-faqs/ And welcome to our community. Sorry you have to deal with NJ but we have a good, supportive bunch of people here and will do all we can to help.

The Mayatollah is correct, Christie is anti gun. As gun owners in NJ we live with the consequences every day.

The bill include a requirement to mark every magazine, including a serial number. There is zero chance of this passing, its just a sad gesture by pathetic people. As always I blame our citizenry for electing these assholes.

Yes, a "rail gun" is a futuristic weapon that fires projectiles using electromagnetic force. Looks like the Navy is getting closer to building one that can be deployed from a ship. But here in our gun world, it is Colt's brand name for their 1911 fitted with a Picatinny rail. http://www.coltsmfg....oltRailGun.aspx

For steel I think you'll want a 9mm 1911 rather than .45 ACP. Its cheaper and some ranges have an issue with larger calibers damaging the steel targets. A 9mm 1911 is also incredibly pleasant and fun to shoot.

What bs. The 2nd Amendment is neither a State's right nor a Federal right. It is an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT.

If this is a home defense gun, I would much rather have a 15 round G19 than a 10 round G17 or G34. And if I already have a G19, getting a second G19 would mean consistency in training, holsters, magazines. I vote G19.

I hope this is just an academic question. Why the hell would anyone other than a Frenchman want to carry something that fires "lance balles de protection?"

I respect your decision, but I am sorry to say the process worked exactly as designed. Despite the bs about keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals the point is to intimidate law abiding people from firearm ownership.

I also use GDHP 124gt +P for home defense, and tend to use 124 grain fmj for training to keep a POI that is consistent. Best advise is bring the GD and both 115 and 124 grin lawman to the range and see how close they are. The 115 / 124 may or may not make any difference in your gun.

I agree. Allow me to give you something more along the lines of constructive criticism. When you post a question on a forum you are asking people for help. When asking for help, the polite thing to do is to at least make it easy on those people. Writing your question in a clear manner is really just a basic courtesy. Throwing out something badly written like your original post says to people "figure this out for yourselves, bitches and then help me." This is not being a grammar Nazi, you really just threw some crap out there without even trying to make it clear. And notwithstanding the rudeness, it's just basic common sense that if you want a correct answer people need to understand what you want. This is not the end of the world but honestly when people zinged you a little bit for this, your reaction should have been to simply acknowledge that you could have written it better, clarify your question, and then get along. None of this excuses a bunch of back and forth flinging of poo. So how about we all just quit the bickering. Back to your original question becuase I am not even sure it was answered. If you want to purchase a new handgun you do need a Permit to Purchase. It does not matter if you are getting rid of one you already have. These are permits to purchase, not permits to own. If you want to get rid of your Sigma then the easiest is to trade it to a dealer but for very little money. Otherwise you can sell it someplace like this forum, gunbroker, or any place else yourself. Using this forum and doing a face to face sale would save you shipping and listing fees so it is probably your best bet. There is a sticky at the top of the NJ Gun Law forum summarizing the regulations and your responsibilities for legally selling to a qualified buyer. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29389-nj-law-summary-read-first-nj-gun-law-faqs/

If the belt can hold more than 15 rounds it's too evil for New Jersey. "Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm.

For the first time I am aware of, a case was won in New Jersey on Second Amendment grounds. Congratulations to Even Nappen and thanks for fighting the good fight. In this case a man's firearms and FPIC were taken because he stored them unlocked in his apartment, which the original judge considered to be dangerous enough to warrant forfeiture. Nappen successfully argued that the judge was effectively trying to create a storage requirement that the Supreme Court found unconstitutional in Heller vs. DC. http://www.evannappe...0251/blasco.pdf The ruling might be narrow but it is good to see a New Jersey court acknowledge and follow the protections of the Second Amendment in our post Heller world.

The Todd Green Special is the V1 light LEM but with a stronger trigger return spring for more positive reset. Here you go, and you can Google P30 TGS for more description: http://www.hkpro.com...gger-chart.html My suggestion is to get a handle on trigger control and technique before looking to a hardware change. Sure the V2 heavy LEM may not be as easy to shoot as the lighter versions but it is still a serviceable trigger weight and you should be able to do better than 12" groups at 10 yards. I would start searching for any of the many threads on HKPro.com on LEM technique, and from folks who had issues with this trigger system. Many say it takes a few thousand rounds to get accustomed to LEM. But if you are switching between different systems or practicing with the wrong technique you may not make good progress.

How many of those Sig rounds were in DA mode? I only ask becuase 90% of people I see at the range with Sigs load a magazine and never decock before shooting, thus never getting experience with the all important first DA shot.

With the recent activity in New York on this such as the NYT article and associated rabble rousing, I am concerned this is going to get traction there. If NY passes it NJ cannot be far behind. What a waste of time and effort for pure theater.
