It will eventually pay off, how fast depends on how much you spend for a press, and how many rounds you fire off. You can spend 300 bucks on a single stage setup, or you can spend 1600 bucks on a nice progressive and pump out rounds like they are going out of style. You're price per round will always be cheaper reloading, Figure you'll probably be picking up your brass cases for free at the range, there are PLENTY of 9mm shooters out there who dont care for picking up their brass. - Figure you can get 1000 small pistol primers for $26 before fees, 1000 bullets for about $60-$80 dollars, and a 4lb jug of powder for around $60-$100 dollars. Like everything else, there is cheap ways to go about it, and better quality ways, which will depend on you.

I wonder what would happen to an open carrying citizen resting his hand on his gun while talking to LEO.

Any update with this Maks? Free haz shipping ends tonight.

WHERE MY BULLETS JoN!

Steve, Here is your new avatar. You're welcome.

You're half right, Yes - it's next saturday,but the 8th, not the 7th.

fill out info and vendors will get back to you with their price.

We also have a WTB ( WANT TO BUY ) section here on the fourms, classified section. Post up your looking for a used Mossberg 500 and see what offers you get.

Sounds like your on a budget, buy wherever you feel your getting the best deal. Check out the firearms price request here on the fourms and see what local vendors have to offer price wise, there is also a ton of websites that you can order from and have shipped to an FFL, or check out gunbroker.com for auction type purchasing.

There are probably 100 different mossberg 500 variants, but yes - you can find one with a 18.5" barrel.

While the mav88 will most likely suffice fine, I'd say if your primary use is self defense for your home, i'd spend the extra 75 bucks and buy the real deal.

Yes, " Speed Option " and " Outer Limits "have plates out to 35 yards, but they are 18"x24" plates. Not that hard to hit. Here is a pdf list of the offical stages http://steelchalleng...d-match/stages/

"Similar to an ak47"..... Jesus, why not just call it like it is? What ISNT similar to an ak47 to the media?

We all know how often " AK47 " gets thrown around for every crime involving a gun. Was this an actual illegal AK47, or was it one of it's semi-auto variants like a Saiga and the like? For all we know it could of been a bolt action .22. If he has only lived in NJ since June, I doubt he had enough time to apply and recive his FID in NJ to legally purchase anything here.

^^^^^^ And that, listen to Dave, all that stuff applies too. Rimfire ( .22s ) do not require a holster, center fire pistols( 9/38/40/45/etc) use holsters, but you may opt not to use one if you are not comfertable and just start at the " low ready " position and take a small time penality

I think you spelt " I cant make it " wrong Joe. Absolutely, bring 20 bucks, a gun, 5 mags, and 200 rounds of ammo ( more if you plan on missing alot ) and saftey gear, tell them your a new shooter If you dont miss, it's 25 rounds per stage... ussually 5 or 6 stages.

not to completely derail the steel thread, but my girlfriends job is the same way - she's a nurse. They supply them with sick days, but if she uses any sick days / calls out . she gets written up.... WTF last year she was denied a raise for calling out 3 times in a whole year.

I think you'll find the large majority of people will purchase their ammo online, you'll find the best prices there. Also, buy in bulk to save some coin too, typical a case ( 1000 rounds ) Personally, I am reloading my own ammo right now, so even more cost savings there and no need to go buy ammo. there is a sticky in the ammo sub-forum with a list of reputable online retailers. edit: here it is- http://njgunforums.c...-to-new-jersey/

No, you've seen ammo malfunction pretty bad! RESPECT!

Too many glocks.

Thanks steve. Maks, we can prob. go that route assuming we can get another person or 2. prices are pretty close to powdervalley http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00034N3204

I'll take a 4lb jug of n320

Too many glocks.

blasphemy

Midways are good, the zipper strings suck ass though. The problem with midway bags though, everybody has one. At a big competition it's a sea of black midway bags, I've picked up the wrong bag on a regular basis.
