Use muzzle energy (in ft lbs) as a guide - force = mass x velocity squared. I love this stuff! But don't get too caught up on this... all major brands will work well.

I recently got the identical "mini" version of this (AE-22?) from Amazon...easy open with either hand, strong lock up, razor sharp. A really good EDC.

I hear ya. I pass Cabela's on I 78 every time I visit my daughter at Penn State and must resist making a major purchase...

DA, hope I caught you in time...I think buying on line with $0.50 shipping ends up cheaper than in store buying (because of the tax). Might as well hit the link above.

Yes, this will be my first NJ2AS meeting and I'm very much looking forward to it. My wife is interested in hearing the presentation and also plans to attend. Michael

I will certainly be there! I am also interested in participating the the Florida CCW program. Other than my (25 year old) DD 214 and a checkbook, is there anything else I shuld bring? Michael

per PennDOT you cannot have a DL or ID from another state. Gun purchases aside, I'll be paying the same Taxes / Rent whatever as a resident, but have to pay non resident hunting/fishing fees because I can't get a PA ID without surrendering my NJ DL. Ain't necessarily fair, but from all I read...it is what it is. Makes no sense.

much appreciated.

On the ID application form it says you must surrender any out of state ID or DLs in order to receive aPA ID. Clear as a bell. Confirmed with PA DOT. I just thought that would be an easier way to purchase another handgun that I would keep in my PA residence. No big deal, I will just purchase in NJ, in accordance w/ NJ rules. Alternatively, I may try to find a place that will sell me a firearm with my NJ FID and a utility/tax bill from PA. Or, third option, I can just bring a gun to PA for when I'm there. Best-

I confirmed today that I would have to surrender my NJ DL in order to get a PA ID. Oh well. Not an option. Thanks for the replies.

PA definately has a non driver photo ID and the requirements are as Tommy3rd said. I will also have actual tax & utility bills in my name to demostrate residency once I close on the house. (the good news and the bad news I guess) My concern was that the PA DMV may not issue the PA ID if I have a valid NJ DL (my thought was along the lines of not having a DL from more than one state). I will search out a PA forum and also call PA DMV during business hours to find out about keeping my NJ DL with a PA ID.

OK, so it's not a NJ gun law question. It's a PA gun law question. I am in the process of buying a second home in PA. It is truly a second home and I have no intention of giving up NJ as my primary residency or my NJ Drivers License. Too much tied to home. I know I can't have two DLs from differtn states, but I don't know if I can have a PA State ID card: (a) without surrendering my NJ DL, and (b) if the PA ID is acceptable to purchase a handgun. (PS anything I would purchase in PA will be standard capacity, very likely stay in PA and be 100% NJ legal anyway.) I could just go through the purchase permit process again, but this seem like a reasonable alternative. Anyone with experience or knowledge? Thanks in advance-

...actually, I menat the other one is on her way to college. I'll take the blessings, though. There's one year of tuition overlap.

Ray= she's a real cutie...Southpaw too? I got one in college and one on the way. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

I have the M&P 40 and love it. the three dot sights are a little easier for me than my Glock 17's rear sight. Note there's a little funky procedure in taking down the gun for cleaning in that you have to reach in and flip a little wire into the mag well before taking the slide off. (easy to forget the first few times) Look at a utube video to see what I'm talking about. best of luck with it-

Cool. I have to try that righty on the lefty M&P.

You use the index finger of your weak hand? As a lefty in a righty gun world, doesn't your strong hand palm cover the release?

Thanks for the suggestion about checking with PK90. I think new factory mags are $25 +/-, plus whatever the cost of the mod...I haved no idea what that'll be. Maybe she will just have to deal with the righty release on the G17? I already switched a couple other handguns to lefty for her and I can use them just fine. (I really thought it would've been just a matter of time before Glock made the 10rd mags ambi and maybe even accepted the old 10s in an exchange.)

Well, you can see from my count I don't typically post, but I do stop by often. I've been an owner of handguns for a lttle over two years now and reading this forum for the past several months. Glad I found it. I was one of the early purchasers of the Gen4 G17, primarily because it felt good in my hand, but it also has an abi Mag release option. (my daughter is a lefty) The distributor replaced the 17rd ambi magazines to comply w/ the NJ limit, but the 10 rd mags they included with my gun were not ambi....sooooo I can't switch the mag release to the other side. I thought really no big deal, I'll just buy some new mags when they make 'em. Anyway, I spoke with Glock today, months and months after the Gen4 introduction. I was told they have no intention of making the 10rd mags ambi. I'm not interested dremeling the factory mags, so does anyone know of wher I can get aftermarket NJ compliant mags for the G17? TIA-
