I see you went with the Springfield GI after all. Good choice.

Should be this Saturday. Knockdown is year round, weather permitting. That's the version I got too. Guess somebody forgot to export as a pdf.

I use taped up vise grips for the bolt catch. I squeeze it in a little when first closing the vise grips then just turn the knob which pushes the pin in.

Sounds good to me. Waiting to hear back from Bt Doctur.

Welcome to the forum. Your .22 conversion is fine, just pick up some 10 or 15 round mags for it.

Welcome

Bayonet lug needs to be removed and that flash hider must be replaced with a permanently attached muzzle brake. BCM makes good stuff.

Welcome

I used to feel almost the same way. The 1911 was designed for .45 and should remain .45. But, the more I shot my TRP the more I appreciated the feel of the 1911. So what's wrong with having that same feel when shooting other calibers? For me, nothing feels as right as the 1911. I have my .45 and a .22, I'll be picking up the 9mm this month. Next year I'll consider .40 and 10mm.

That is the purpose but, my times still suck. (USPSA). I'll run with it a few more times to see if it really makes a difference for me. If not, I'll go back to the stock magwell which definitely looks better.

If your town has a police department, you go there. If they don't. you go to your nearest state police barracks.

Favorite that I own: Springfield TRP .45ACP I will be picking up a S&W 1911 Pro 9mm towards the end of the month, a very nice 1911 but, I don't think it will take over the top spot.

Welcome to the forum. Check out Central Jersey Shooting Club in Jackson. Probably the best one that's within a decent driving distance. Organizations: NJ2AS, 2AF, GOA, NRA.

Firearms guild in Rahway and Caso's in Jersey City have very good selections. (prices suck though)

The 239 SAS is one of my favorite guns as far as look and feel goes. It is one of the 2 I am trying to decide between for around the house and out of state carry. Either the Sig or a G19. Probably the Sig, I hate plastic guns and just finished purging my safe of all plastic.

Welcome to Nj and the forum. I grew up in Elizabeth, got out about 12 years ago. You have to apply for your FID at the Elizabeth police department. You will need these forms to start with: http://njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sts-033.pdf http://njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sp-066.pdf The pd will get you set up with finger printing info. I have two friends in Elizabeth that recently went through the process. One got his FID in 9 months, the other took 13 months. The Elizabeth pd is not gun friendly and anything but helpful during the process. Good Luck!

Curtains and shades for my son's room. A shelf to display my girls' trophies. And an 870 for me.

Welcome

I believe it is 12/21/12. Live the next 20 days to the fullest for there is no tomorrow.

Welcome.

1st Sunday has moved indoors for the winter. (frangible ammo only). 3rd Sunday goes all year, weather permitting.

Dawson recomended the .195 high with the adjustable rear sight. I would say get the .220 or .240, as I am about an inch high at 15 yards with the rear cranked all the way down.

I ended up getting the Sig 1911-22. It is the same exact gun as the GSG. I only have a few hundred rounds through it but, it ran pretty well. I also considerd the Kimber but, it was just too light. I wanted something that felt like my 1911 and the Sig fits that bill. I have also seen the Colt in action and it ran very well also. As far as the Sig goes, I am very happy with it right now. Only time will tell how it holds up, if it develops any issues or gets better. I'm hoping it will only get better as it breaks in. Edit to add: I replaced the guide rod, recoil spring, bushing and plug all before the first shot was fired. Everything I have heard about the CW Accessories parts has been great. The gun is definitely tighter and smooter with these parts. Also replaced the sights with a Dawson fiber optic front and Dawson adjustable Novak rear. The factory sights really suck.

Whoever told you that is either full of chit or, doesn't know chit about NJ gun laws. A NJ FFL can accept any firearm. They can't transfer it to you unless it is made NJ compliant. Not all FFL's are willing to do this. There are plenty of good ones right here on this sight, use one of them. Some of them also have internet sights and sell guns out of state. Also perfectly legal.

Welcome to the forum. The M&P line is always a fine choice.
