CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine - thoughts?
Did a search and found this older thread - is the consensus that the Scorpion carbine with the mock suppressor is legal in NJ granted the stock is pinned and we use mags that are 15rds or less?

Official Glock Photo Thread
Thanks! I got the frame only. Knew I was going to piece it together so didnt see the point in getting a whole G19. Someone on Glocktalk offered it for $220 along w/ 3 mags,all backstraps, etc.. everything new. Couldn't pass it up!

Official Glock Photo Thread
All done. Very "Space Gat" looking but its growing on me . Just glad to finally own a Glock again. Feels nice in the hands. Specs: Grey Glock 19 Gen 4 frame Zev Tech Spartan slide Zev TiN Barrel Zev Combat sights (fiber front) Trijicon RMR Zev slide internals NDZ SS Recoil Rod w/ 15lb spring Overwatch TAC Trigger Glock minus connector TiN slide release, extended mag button, takedown lever, pins, etc. Agency Arms magwell Inforce APLc Overall I'm happy with how everything turned out. Absolute co-witness is possible w/ non-suppressor sights & the RMR w/ the Zev slide. Tolerances are pretty tight w/ the slide so will have to see how it performs at the range. Trigger does not feel as nice as my Performance Center Shield w/ an Apex trigger, but hoping it smooths out over time. Pre-travel on the Overwatch trigger is still slightly gritty but it is reduced over the stock trigger. It does break & reset very nicely and I'm OK w/ it as none of the safeties are compromised with their setup (so they say). Got the trigger during their July 4th deal and it came w/ a "free" minus connector. No complaints.

Light for VP9
Gawwd dammit. I wasn't even in the market for a new light but after reading @High Exposure's posts I feel like I need one. Stupid forum.

Official Glock Photo Thread
Hoping to add to this thread soon. Had a Glock 19 a few years ago and sold it to a forum member, which I've regretted since. Recently got an M&P Shield and got the itch for striker fired pistols again. That said, have a Gen 4 G19 frame waiting in the wings (in the 30 day cool-down period currently) and a bunch of other goodies. I was looking into all the customs (eg. Zev, Agency, Taran Tactical, etc.) so figured what the heck, may as well build my own! Hope to share the completed build shortly...

Hyve Extended Mags
They don't come w/ a spring. You essentially just replace the base of your 8rd mag w/ the hyve extended base re-using the stock spring. Keep in mind these bases only work w/ the 8rd mags. You can also purchase them fully assembled. One of the springs in my mag completely bent after a few reloads causing FTFs. Called S&W and they sent me 4 replacements no questions asked. Apparently known issue w/ their mag springs..

Trijicon RMR @ Cabelas for $349!
Surprised this wasn't posted here already. Saw it earlier in the week but didnt have a chance to post. The Trijicon RMRs, both the 3.25 MOA & 6.5 MOA versions for only $349. This is the adjustable LED version! Don't think I've ever seen it this low. Its on backorder now (people probably went to town) but were in-stock when I initially saw it. If you're not in a rush, its a good deal - Click Here

Any NJ limitations when using gunbroker or armslist?
I've both sold and bought off of Armslist. No issues. Just make sure to do your due diligence. If something doesn't feel right, don't take the chance. Gunbroker is probably the "safer" route as far as scammers go but prices will typically be higher too. I've also used GB with no issues.

Safe
Don't forget to check Home Depot. They're one of a few retailers that offer free shipping, which is key, since shipping for such a heavy safe could easily be a few hundred. i recently moved a 400lb safe up to my 2nd floor. My stairs go up to a platform, then turns 90 degrees for the 2nd flight of steps. Not fun. A buddy and I tried, bruised ourselves up, and ended up hiring movers lol. They sent 3 big dudes and got it up to my 2nd floor in literally 5 mins. Can't beat professional help.

Hyve Extended Mags
Glad to hear you like them Blacksmythe. I think I might give them a try.. but why locktite them? Do they have a tendency to come loose? Would be a pain to open for cleaning, no? As for the other question.. just threw it out there. Just came to mind as I was looking at these extensions. I think the feature means a pistol w/ a magazine that attaches elsewhere besides the pistol grip (i.e. like a rifle mag) and not a magazine that simply "protrudes" from the grip.

Hyve Extended Mags
Has anyone used these Hyve extended mags for their Glocks or M&P's? Considering getting one for the Shield to make it 10+1. Looks like a decent product. Also, this wouldn't fall under the evil feature of "a magazine attaching outside of the pistol grip," correct? Not my picture -

Striker fired HG
Any specific reason the M&P's (Shield) isn't in your consideration? I ask because I'm in the same boat but decided on the Performance Center Shield, especially w/ the $75 rebate S&W is having right now. Before deciding on the Shield, I had it down to the VP9, Sig 320 and the P30SK... The VP9SK is also looming on the horizon. So many choices...

Picked up a Ruger Precision Rifle; Now, what brake to get?
Gaaaadd dang it. Thought I was done for a while... then had to poke my nose into the precision rifle forum. So... since the RPR's are bolt action, anything goes with regards to adjustable stocks, hiders, etc. yea? So long as they meet the capacity, 16" barrel and overall length requirements?
