Is she recoil sensitive? hand size? Unfortunately, you cannot buy pistols out of state. They have to be shipped to a NJ FFL. I've got several 9mm pistols, and have let plenty of people try them all. The one that gets the most recognition by females is my S&W M&P 9L (long slide 5" barrel), but it has a trigger job done to it so the trigger's very light and crisp.

I did the online course part. They broke us out to another class for a quick review then the test. Did the field practical right after testing. They asked if I wanted to do the field walk, but it was pouring rain and snowy ground so I said no.

@njgun - Choose your FFL wisely. There are some that charge storage fees if you don't pickup after a while or are waiting on 30 days or permits.

If you're worried about wear, keep it as a safe queen and use another gun

You're really not gonna get much holster wear if any at all with a kydex. It's really not touching the gun. It's not like a leather holster where they're constantly rubbing on to the gun to hold it in.

I tend to V-Cut sticks, which helps with tighter draws. I also have a PerfecDraw for REALLY plugged cigars. I actually like a nice medium draw. Too loose and it's like sucking air through a straw.

Unfortunately, the 10 round magazine law is in effect, and that means if you have magazines of higher than 10 round capacity, then they can legally keep them. We're still in the "grace period" where lawful NJ Gun owners are supposed to get rid of their "high capacity" magazines... The ANJRPC has a lawsuit against the new law, but until we get a verdict about it, we are still affected by the law. I personally have had to purchase 10-round magazines for my guns to use them (legally) at public ranges.

I don't have a salt water rod or else I would have.

Trip was a wash-out anyway. Wind/rain conditions made the boats cancel this AM

If you like the Nubs, try Oliva. Oliva V are delicious. Cain cigars are good too - those are all by the same factory. Cain Daytona is one of my favs. Drew Estate Undercrown is a great stick. It's a budget Liga Privada No. 9. If you can swing the price, try a Liga 9 and T52. If you can't find 'em, I have plenty. They're even stronger and more flavorful than the Undercrown.

Pretty decent. Nubs are good. I tend to stay away from RP. Caldwell Long Live the King is great. That Illusione OneOff is a new one and supposedly really good too.

Bumping it up - anyone wanna go? I'll have cigars and beer

They're decent sticks but personally I'm not a fan of either.

Sure - blame it on UnderArmour. LOL. I saw more gun stuff being bought at Dick's than UA.

Early departure - we'll be back around 2 - that leaves plenty of time

Anyone free on Friday want to go on a Charter Fishing trip out of Belmar? @Sandy and I will be hitting up the Ol Salty II on Friday AM with a few friends - we have like 4 or 5 spots left on the boat. Will be fishing for Fluke & Blackfish Friday Aug 31st need to be there 6:30 a.m. $135 each plus pitch in for gratuity for crew. Let me know! https://www.facebook.com/OLSALTYTWO/ They got some big fish!

Brownells lately has really good deals with their coupon codes.

FTFY

She's smokin one too? Nice! Did you get her into them as well, Pat?

I'll make sure to bring something for you befitting your new status But really - Congrats!

I personally prefer skinnier ring gauge cigars. Under 50RG. Drew Estate has the Liga 9/T52/Undercrown/UC Shade Coronets - cigarillos. Great 30 minute smoke for the car ride. Last night's stick: Brand new Warped Serie Gran Reserva 1988:

No that's Ultramax, which is still around. USAAmmo was online selling ammo and doing brass stuff just like FM - they had a deal of the day or something where they sold way too much then turned out some really shitty product that came in under minimum PF for USPSA and was keyholing for users here. They shut down and FM was spun up using the same equipment.

If you wanna smoke, go ahead. ROTT (Right off the truck) it may not be as good as rested. Even if they were in bags with bovedas, the temps still fluctuated. https://www.smallbatchcigar.com/how-does-shipping-affect-cigars-temperature-humidity-and-you hit me up for discount codes to sites and stuff...

Swamp Thang or Flor de las Antillas. Undercrown is good, MF El Centurion H-2K-CT is good, CAO Consigliere is good. I like to give my cigars 2 weeks to normalize after shipping though. JR ships unhumidified, and summer shipping temps fluctuate like crazy. Can definitely affect the taste.
