  1. Most likely cost. I have a few Glocks and always use a bronze/metal brush to clean the barrels. The brush will not do any damage if a bullet at 1200fps doesn't.
  2. Did you ever have anyone shoot an AR or 308 in the port right next to you? Even with the best ear protection, it damages your hearing. 25yd is a little close to sight in Irons on an AR. The preferred modern battlesight sight in distance is 50/200yd for irons and red dot. 5.56 crosses the same path at 50 and 200yds with 100yds being 2-3inches high. I know some mentioned not enough or not affordable outdoor ranges, but come on, if you can afford an $1800 AR (dressed) you can afford a $200-$300 outdoor range.
  3. People that go to an indoor 25yd (23yd) range with an AR or other high powered rifle really annoy me.
  4. And the reason I bought GE appliances for my house was because they were American. Oh well.
  5. Isn't the ACLU looking to make the NJSP pay & overtime records public information?
  6. Let me explain this as if I were talking to a child. Im not a fan of manual safeties, which means I do not like them on anything. I am not making the argument that ccw pistols should have manual safeties, but I can see how one in this situation would have been useful. Assuming it happened as reported. You should keep an open mind about guns and gun ownership. Don't take you anti gun / pro gun fustrations out on me. Nothing I say will ever have any effect on your gun rights, period. There are no star ledger reporters on NJgunforums just waiting to see what I say, so they can use it againts all gun owners. Your rant just sounds ignorant to me.
  7. What part of my statement confused you?
  8. I'm not a fan of manual safeties but this is a good argument for them on concealed pistols.
  9. The manufactures websites usually have all the data available. +p ammo will be marked on the ammo box and/or advertised. I buy my ammo from targetsportsusa.com. Lawman 115gr is about $239 for 1000rds shipped to my door or $11.95 per 50rd box. The American Eagle 115gr is about the same $$. And yes Gen4's tend to like the hotter ammo. Try to buy ammo with a muzzle velocity of more than 1150fps.
  10. The M&P .357sig models were discountinued last year. I was trying to buy a .357s M&P compact when I found this out directly from S&W.
  11. It's the best option available at this time.
  12. 9mm Glock. Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P HP To avoid overpenetration.
  13. Grains is the actual weight of the bullet (just the projectile). 9mm bullets come in 115, 124,127,& 147gr. "Hotter " round is determined by the charge (gunpowder) used. They are rated as Standard Pressure, +P, and +P+. The the higher the muzzle velocity the "hotter" the round. Example: Lawman 115gr fmj =1200fps muzzle velocity, Federal Champion 115gr fml = 1145fps muzzle velocity, hence, the lawman is considered "hotter". My favorite 9mm practice ammo: 1. Speer Lawman 115gr FMJ MV=1200fps 2. American Eagle 115gr FMJ MV=1180fps My favorite 9mm HD/SD ammo: 1. Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P HP MV=1220fps 2. Winchester Ranger T Series 127gr +P+ HP MV=1250fps
  14. New is the way to go. Gen4 is my choice. The latest RSA for the Glock 19 Gen4 is the 0-4-3. The latest ejector is the 30274. I have 5 Gen4 pistols including 2 Glock 19's with thousands of rounds combined with no failures or stoppages. Depending on the ammo you can get some more noticeable "erratic" ejections. The new Gen3 pistols also have erratic ejection patterns. I say "erratic", meaning the casing don't all go to the same exact spot, which is OK by me. The real problem was people getting hit in the head/face with brass and/or left ejections, which was corrected by the latest ejector 30274. Funny thing is you can go look at some youtube videos of people shooting their older Gen1 and Gen2 Glocks and you will see the same "erratic" ejection patterns. Erratic ejection always existed, gun forum boards didn't. My favorite practice ammo for the my Gen4 9mm Glocks is Lawman 115gr. It's pretty hot for a practice ammo and compliments that dual RSA set up in the Gen4 nicely.
  15. I think i will take all my guns out to my yard today and clean them. Hopefully someone will call the cops on me.
  16. Glock 19 Gen4. You will never "need" to buy another 9mm.
  17. Bingo. Somethings not right Here is a spectacular pepsi truck accident that happened in texas. Watch the Porche Cayenne in the oncoming traffic.
  18. Give some speer lawman 115gr fmj a try. 1200fps. It will let you know how you pistol will eject with a SD loads.

    They really dont need much improvement. Maybe some night sights. I added low profile safety/decocker levers which did change my type f PX4 to a type g ( no safety, decocker only). It's a great choice and will serve you well. Great size and capacity with the unique rotating barrel.
  20. I'm sure this is for your safety and not the financial benefit of the state. Because NJ gives a shit about you.
  21. Will not function 100% without changing ejectors and extractors. OK for practice but not ok for anything serious. Just buy what you want to shoot and shoot what you buy.
  22. Get the Glock 19 Gen4. Best size to weight to capacity to balance to barrel length to sight radius to trigger to shootability to accuracy to reliability to functionality to price on the market. Edit: Forgot to mention best bore axis.
  23. Yes. But since he is a dealer, he gets the gun wholesale. So: Price of gun + $40 commision + Tax + NICS. Most NJ dealer mark ups are more than $40. So, it sounds like a good deal.
  24. Sounds like he means he will sell you a gun for cost +$40 (hence, $40 commision) + NICS
