Jon

Always. You too. That's two "o"s.

You're.

Wow, congrats to her! But she needs to leave some bucks for me and my pops dammit!

Jon, wait till the new year and the next round of OBRAMS matches. It's USPSA with .22lr pistols/rifles. Great way to introduce her to the sport without the fear of recoil.

:o Guess I have to make this...

I agree, Mike. Even the price difference between pocket 9mms and .380s is quickly closing. Factor in ammo cost and it's actually a better financial decision to go 9mm, regardless of the better power provided by 9mm.

Welcome! In regards to penetration issues, you should know that any round capable of stopping a threat inside your home will go into your neighbor's home. The best way to keep your neighbors safe is to make a plan that involves you holing up somewhere with the only potential direction that you will be shooting in, is a "safe" direction. Personally, I keep my wife's HD revolver loaded with Corbon Pow'rball .38 +P.

There was a case, yes... however IIRC that particular case law only covers the county in which the case was heard(Burlington Co???)

Dropping a loaded gun is a DQ. If you drop an unloaded gun and pick it up without an RO present it is a DQ. With an RO present, and his/her permission, it is not an issue.

You answered the OP's question incorrectly. Driving to the range with a loaded magazine sitting next to an unloaded pistol is 100% legal.

I don't have a rulebook in front of me, but if the gun is still holstered when you remove the belt, I don't see an issue with swapping one belt for another when not at a safe table.

Yup.

How do you propose I compete in a match with loaded magazines and no guns? Throw my ammo at the targets? Loaded magazines being construed as loaded guns is a MYTH. Please stop spreading this false information.

Yes. Ant, sorry to hear about the accident. Hope the car gets fixed up quickly and properly.

In NJ, you cannot "borrow" pistols. The only time you can shoot your father's pistols is when he physically hands them to you at the range. Sorry.

All I own is hollow point ammo, and I routinely load mags before driving to a match. I am 100% within NJ law.

99 I am in no rush, don't even have the new sight in my hands yet, guess I should order it up, eh? MrP - going with a shorter front sight due to the gun shooting way low.

Where are you located? I need to replace the front sight on my 226 as well. If you're interested I could guest you into SCFGPA and we could install both front sights and get them zeroed in without any RO breathing down your neck.

Congrats! Nothing wrong with an oldie. I would love to add a lever gun to the collection as well.

Franklin Twp will renew after they expire, and typically takes 3-4 days.

I thought the leprechaun was in Alabama...

I belong to SCFGPA in Bridgewater. PM me when you want to shoot my P226(mid-week works best). No cash needed.

So the UPS lady was wearing these skimpy shorts, that were so tight you could tell she had no underwear on...

That's strange, Harry... Mine will run pretty well on the federal bulk but won't reset the hammer sometimes. Runs 110% on the minimags.

OUCH! Sorry to see that
