Around the house compact...opinions
I guess the main reason would be because I don't have a compact (or a .40), just an excuse to get another gun. I can conceal my 1911's just fine, just wanted to go a little lighter and smaller. Plastic is for putting food in, not bullets... I find that I just don't really enjoy the polymer guns. Even though the ones I had were for a specific purpose, I still like to take them to the range fairly often and they just didn't do anything for me, very boring guns. I'm just "considering another now, may just get a Sig p239 SAS, I know I love that one. Just doesn't help much in the weight or capacity areas. Wife and kids not crazy about that. Neighbors on one side (ex Brooklynites), like calling the cops for every little thing that scares them.

Around the house compact...opinions
After eliminating all plastic guns from my safe last year, I find myself considering another for just general around the house use and possibly for the increasingly rare out of state carry. Generally looking at .40's, maybe 9mm. I have looked at the M&P40c, G23, USP 40c, and P2000sk. All seem to have their good points and short comings. Reliability, weight, size, capacity, and 4 o'clock IWB comfort are the main considerations. I'm not interested in any of the single stack sub compacts and pocket pistols at this time. Looking for opinions and experiences from those who own any of these or maybe some others I have not yet considered.

.45 dies?
A quick check of Amazon and Ebay turns up just about every brand available.

Something just a little larger than Ruger LCP for CCW
The Kahr PM/CM 9 is a great little gun but, I don't think it's bigger than the LCP. Check out the M&P Shield, Springfield XDS 9, and the Walther PPS in 9 or .40. (Great trigger on the Walther)

would you use a 1911 for home defense?
Absolutely! 1911 in the night stand, 870 in the closet.

Is S2723 an Improvement on Status Quo?
The new FID is going to be embedded on your license, it won't be readable by just looking at it. This would require sellers to invest in some sort of equipment or software to be able to read the information. It will also require the seller to spend more time processing and reporting the sales to the NJSP. Very simply, time is money. Will Midway, Brownells, Cabelas, etc, invest this time and money just to be able to sell to NJ? I doubt it. They already cut NY off and will most likely do the same to Jersey, effectively banning on line ammo sales.

Reloading for pistol ammo, Is it worth it if I mostly shoot 9mm and .38 ammo?
Just recently started myself. I only load .45 and 9mm. The savings on ammo was not the deciding factor for me, although in time I will recoup my initial investment and start saving. The main reason I got into it was for steel. I don't see too many of the better shooters using factory ammo, it's amazing the difference in recoil between factory 9 and hand loaded 9. I'm not one of the better shooters (yet) but I went from bottom third to upper middle third as soon as I switched.

S2723/A4182 For Reloaders?
Now that this bill has passed both houses, I finally decided to read through it. Read it, took 4 Advil and then thought about it. I did not see anything specifically prohibiting internet /mail order of bullets, primers, or powder. If/when the Governor signs this into law will reloading components be unaffected? What exactly does NJ consider ammunition?

New Hornady Press destroyed by UPS
I was going to say; "If Jeremy went straight to Dillon, this would have never happened." But, I didn't want to kick the guy while he was down. Hang in there, Jer, it will all get straightened out. The waiting sucks though.

Easy to convert AR?
CMMG makes both but, it really doesn't matter what brand AR you go with. The CMMG upper will fit on any lower.

S2723 Revises Firearm Purchaser ID and handgun purchase permits (Sweeney, Norcross, Weinberg)
This is basically going to be up to the online sellers whether they want to sell to NJ or not. NJ law is meaningless in the other 49 states, they can ship away if they choose. As long as you have the efid, you are not breaking the law by ordering the ammo. As far as the reporting of ammo sales, if it is up to the seller to do that, out of state sellers simply don't have to. If that is how the law is written, the only one I know of that would have to comply is Ammoman. The online sellers that ask for fid right now, may choose to stop selling to NJ or get the scanner. The ones that don't ask for fid, will probably continue with business as usual.
