Renewing Dessicant bags
The directions on my mid sized bag say 240 for 3 hours I don't think agitation is necessary the moisture will migrate out during those three hours

M&P 9 Shield
I got one after contrasting it against the LC9 and PPS. I like it quite a bit. Come by SCFGPA and shoot it EDIT: I was on my phone earlier so now I'll add a little detail...I havent' shot the Ruger or Walther but I've held them. The Walther felt the most comfy in my hand with the grip extension but I didn't like that mag release that they use, and the Shield wasn't that far behind. The Ruger felt kind of like a toy. As far as shooting, the recoil is surprisingly easy to handle. I shot 115, 124 and 147 and they all felt pretty similar, I guess that dual spring recoil assembly helps out a lot because it felt even softer than my EMP which was a heavier gun. It was very comfy with the extended mag and even with the short one it wasn't too bad. Accuracy is meh, off hand I could get all my quick shots within 8" at 7 yards. If I slowed down I'm sure I could tighten that up but I was mostly making sure it would feed everything. It did feed everything although there was one FTE when I was shooting weak-handed and since it never happened again I will have to assume I limp-wristed it. With the short magazine it completely disappears in a Theis IWB holster (Supertuck clone), even leaning over as long as my shirt doesn't ride up.

Looking for a new iwb holster
I just got a Theis holster, pretty much a supertuck but cheaper. And the clips don't have those stupid crosses.

$25 NICS Fee?
PICS is different And rubbing in how PA is better is just not nice

All Metal BUG?
Springfield EMP is ~3.25" barrel, alloy frame and slide (for 9mm anyway, .40 gets you steel parts). Costly though. IIRC Kimber has some similar models, for similar coin. The P238 is all metal I think, but it's .380. EDIT: no rails on these

good price for my Sig P239 two-tone .40
Sell it here on the marketplace? You'll get raped if you sell it to a shop, maybe a little less so if you trade it in at the same place you buy the new piece.

Newbie ?? about selling my 1911
Since my son was born most months I only get to shoot at the one IDPA match that is closest to my house. Once in a while I'll get a chance to shoot one other time in that month. That's all the live fire practice I get and I still consider myself competitive. You can always practice drawing at home with an empty gun. (Once my wife doesn't need help with the baby all the time I intend to go back to shooting more...)

Flemington Department Store on rt31
"Flemington Department Store" We've been buying flooring and furniture there for a long time, albeit infrequently. It was only recently I noticed the area with tactical/duty gear.

What width belt do you use?
I use a 5.11 1.5" belt for IDPA but I'm no Expert. You're limited to 1.75" for IDPA by rule.

WTS: Springfield EMP 9mm, with Crossbreed IWB
If I keep this I'm swapping the ambi-safety for a single sided. Someone save me the $50 and buy this

Question about press portability
I have my press bolted to a bench but I could have just as easily bolted it to a block that gets clamped to the nearest stable surface. But it sounds like a portable stand is what you want.
-
1911 suggestions?
Triggers and hammers can be swapped (along with almost every other part if it's standard - springs, spring housings, grips, extractors, safeties, blah blah) but they probably require hand-fitting
-
2 permits and nothing that interests me.
Want an EMP? Kinda like an xds but pretty. And not an xds.

Does anybody have an M&P Shield available for fondling?
I'll have to call Firearms Guild later this week then...Shore Shot is too far at my current level of seriousness. EDIT: RTSP had one, wow that thing is even thinner than I anticipated
-
Does anybody have an M&P Shield available for fondling?
I am intrigued by this little gun but it seems to be a hot ticket and nobody has them on the shelf to handle. I don't want to have a NJGF vendor order one before fiddling with with it though. So does anybody have on that I could fiddle? Im not even looking to shoot it, just see how it fits me. I live in somerset and work in Morris. I'll be at SCFGPA on Sunday for IDPA if that's convenient.

Peter's 9mm Luger ammo?
I recently shot an IDPA match where a guy was using WWII-era Ohlins ammo. He had a jam on pretty much every string.

Perfect for the NJGF BUG meet if it ever became a reality

.17hmr scope
I've read that rimfire scopes are adjusted for paralax at shorter ranges. So you just have to figure out how far away your targets will typically be.

I see your side by side 1911...
Pretty sure it only fired one cylinder at a time. The hammer has multiple pins but only one cylinder is under either pin at any given time or something. They had this gun on the Sons of Guns show a while back, I don't remember what they called it but it was a 20-shot revolver. I can find two-barrel versions of this with my google-fu but not three. I assume it's the same principle though. http://www.militaryf...mallarms_id=315 EDIT: Sons of Guns had a Lefaucheux Pinfire.
