Jon

You're welcome to shoot my Light LEM USPs at SCFGPA.

Smooth transaction, thanks for making the drive!

Nope, the hammer stays down like a DAO. ETA: I suppose it is POSSIBLE, but without a spurred hammer, I sure as shit wouldn't try it.

Haha, from the SHOT 2008... and died there unfortunately. Cool concept though.

Keep in mind it's impossible to fire the gun without the hammer cocked, as there is no way to de-cock it once you put one in the chamber.

There are two ways to go with an HK trigger; Match trigger for DA/SA pull, or LEM for the unique LEM pull. Personally I prefer the 'light' LEM, and have converted all my HKs to that variant. I plan on going a step further with my full-size guns to the hybrid-match LEM trigger. Swapping trigger variants is very very very easy if you have some mechanical know-how, and if you're local I would be happy to help you out with it. Let me know which route you'd like to go and I can post some part numbers for stuff to order and run you through the install.

I don't recall how the brake was oriented on my Stag(sold the upper), but I wouldn't sweat it. The gun just doesn't move with it on there. You will blast your range-neighbors though.

Send a PM to feliks on the site, he has one and can probably take a picture of his grip on the gun. Paul at AnA has one for sale too.

Says on the permit 5 business days.

As mentioned, it depends on your PD. Mine(Franklin Twp) will renew an already-expired permit, though it does take a few days.

Keith - congrats, looks great. You will LOVE the brake that stag puts on their uppers. I had almost no sight distortion with mine. Nick - lovin the lightweight middy, congrats.

They are fantastic. Very very pleased.

Anyone want to get together there on Monday morning?

Why not go with a Beretta 21?

I send em with a stamp.

As already mentioned, you need to make the call based on the child's maturity level and how responsible they are. I went hunting with my father(not carrying a gun) starting at 8yrs old, and carried a shotgun into the field at 10, according to current NJ Law. My father made sure I had plenty of practice before that day to ensure I could make a clean and humane kill. I honestly couldn't tell you when I started shooting, as it was probably 4 or 5yo.

I prefer to use factory loaded ammunition for duplication's sake as Griz mentioned, as well as being IMO more reliable(I still visually inspect all cartridges before loading up for SD purposes). However, if I'm returning from the range and drop my range bag(containing only reloads in the magazines) in the foyer, and someone breaks in at that moment, I will not hesitate to charge my range gun with reloaded range ammo and prepare to defend myself with it.

I am a firm believer in carrying while at home, be it open or concealed(I prefer concealed). Using a quality holster, it costs me absolutely nothing in comfort, and takes all of 30 seconds to holster up after I come through the door. I have fallen asleep on the couch while wearing an IWB-holstered firearm, and in the event that someone crashes through my rear slider, I am prepared to draw and fire immediately, rather than presenting my back as a target to the invading person(s) as I flee for my stored firearm. Legitimate question for those who feel that carrying is out of the question when children are around... can you please tell me why? If you use a quality holster, it can be concealed well enough that the children will never see or feel it, and it will not fall out.

Same for SCFGPA. Going to take a strong showing of non-old-farts at a general meeting to change it.

When I moved to Somerset 3yrs ago I applied for a change of address just in time to get printed with ink and not have to deal with the sagem morpho BS. dmnj good luck with Plainfield. We have a member here that was given the run-around for a year by them before he finally saw his permits.

Nothing to be worried about. Owning class 3 stuff will never come up in the checks for an FID.

If you hold the two in your hand the difference is clear. The Sig is just IMO a much better-constructed weapon. Check the marketplace, as there are two fantastic P226s for sale right now.

Neon-colored paint is a great way to improve the visibility of the front sight. Go ahead and do it!
