Most departments run a background check every time you apply. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

Works for me Paul.

I also vote for buying a 15-22.

Second vote for the GSG-1911, feels just like a 1911 in every way except recoil and ammo cost.

Screw standing and shooting at paper, come shoot IDPA at SCFGPA!

Ahhh, Ok. I'll dig out the box for mine tomorrow and see which one I got.

I would assume it comes pinned from S&W. Mine was.

CZ75, M&P Pro, XDm

From what I understand, the .22lr 1911 conversions are very very picky on ammo, and usually cost the same as buying the GSG. I would recommend just getting the GSG.

.22 only. I got mine for 300 bucks used.

That basement/stack of ammo crates looks familiar...

Pump shotguns can have pistol grips. Semi-auto shotguns cannot.

The GSG-1911 is for you. I run Federal Bulk .22lr through mine and get maybe 8-10 light strikes out of a box of 525. Never had a failure with minimags.

I always wear earpro at the range, but never while hunting. Will 3-4 shotgun blasts per year do serious damage? I can't think of any earpro that would work and be comfortable for hunting.

This is a good option to point out. You can usually put your name in for the rifle range, then spend some time at the pistol range.

Friday will be better than the weekend, but yes, many hunters are starting to flood the range in preparation for deer season. Also, signing up as a member takes as long as it takes you to fill out a 2"x3" card.

The SKS is g2g for any modifications. The law says a semi-automatic firearm that accepts detachable magazines AND has the following evil features yadda yadda. You could put a folding stock on it and be fine as long as it still has a fixed internal mag.

USPSA(production) - Sig P226 USPSA in 9mm IDPA(SSP) - HK USPc9 Steel - Browning HiPower in 9mm

[insert incorrect statement here]

M4B seems to have covered everything. As far as how much ammo to bring, I usually shoot 5-6 games max during an outing(each game requires 1 box of shells).

If KAC was in my price range I wouldn't have mentioned Noveske

Frank - I know the ammo has to be good. I was looking at chrome-lined barrels due to the expectation of many many rounds downrange. I'll pm you though. Thanks for everyone's input.

Welcome! Be sure to try out the NJGF price request: http://njgunforums.com/index.php?option=com_ckforms&view=ckforms&id=1&Itemid=11 The prices that our vendors give you will probably be surprising(in a good way).

OMFG this is fantastic. +1 to you good sir, and I would give you 1000 if I could.

Like the title says, looking for a lightweight upper w/ chrome-lined bbl that will still shoot good groups, and hopefully cost less than Noveske. Are they the only dog in this fight?
