Just wanted to post up my latest Beretta purchase. I picked up this used but unfired USA made Beretta 92FS Inox. The interesting thing about this one is it uses the commercial M9 frame with the straight dust cover and no grip radius. Beretta made these available for a while about a year to 2 yrs ago. The Inox are being made in Italy now and are coming with the slanted dust cover only. I like the look of the straight dust cover so I had to do a little searching for this one. I found it on Gunbroker at a Pawn shop in Georgia. $600 shipped. Not bad. It came with it's original box and contents. I thought I wasn't going to like the black controls Beretta uses now on their Inox models. After purchase I immediately starting searching for Inox parts on ebay, brownell's, etc. They are hard to come by and they cost a premium when you do find them. And wow, I didn't realize how many small parts it takes to make it a true Inox Beretta. So, I decided it would be a better idea to take all my black parts off and send them to Robar to be NP3'd. From research I did the NP3 finish is almost a perfect match to the Inox pistols. Now, anyone that knows Beretta knows they been building these newer Inox pistols (and bruntion) with some poly coated steel parts - the trigger, slide catch, safety levers, and mag release. Poly coated parts can't be NP3'd. So I needed to find a steel parts kit. I found a new old stock steel parts kit on Ebay for $37 shipped, it had all the parts I needed and then some. I got the parts kit and the first thing I noticed was the steel parts kit had a real nice, clean, flat black finish to them. The newer black controls used on the Inox pistol have a almost glossy black finish. I decided I want to see how the pistol looked with the flat black controls. So I put them on, and It looked great (IMO). I then decided to replace the stock rubber grip panels with the standard (flat blackish) grip panels. Walla, perfect match and a fantastic look. Now I have no desire to switch to Inox controls. I added a skeletonized hammer and a D hammer spring. I am satisfied with this one. The picture doesn't do it justice. It looks much nicer in person. That is all

Yep.

Between the Dodge and Ford, I would go with the Chevy.

Yep. It will be a big waste of time and resources. Then it will get thrown out.

Now Washington DC and Illinois is Shall Issue. And NJ is still no issue. Never would have thought that. I really am disappointed this didn't go to SCOTUS. This needs to be settled once and for all.

I was being sarcastic guys. Geez. That's the argument everyone uses when they don't like the PX4 or Cougars. FYI, I'm a big Beretta fan, 92 and PX4. I'm the one who did all the work on the PX4 Type C trigger and posted it on Beretta forum. Im the go to Type C guy over there. And yeah, I read the MAC thread. Didn't care to watch the video.

But everyone hates the rotating barrel design. Remember?

As far as nails go, as said, just grind them off. Patch with mortar if needed. Repaint wall. Done.

You won't need to support anything. There is no weight on the window otherwise it would have collapsed a long time ago. Remove window and cut the block underneath with a mason blade on your circular saw. Cut each side even with opening. Punch out block with hammer. Trim edges with a chisel. Install door and jamb. Done.

Did he tell how "big things" are right around the corner? Been hearing that for as long as I can remember. Nothing has changed yet.

Maybe you can store them at a firearm storage place such as FSS in Whippany. Then have them shipped to you when you are moved in? I don't know if they will ship them for you, not sure of the legalities of that. But you can definitely come back and ship them to yourself. Just thinking out loud here.

I never seen water/drain pipes made from conduit. Looks like an old service or a sub panel. The larger pipe was probably the service lines and the small conduit probably feed outside electric. Definitely not water pipes, unless it was a DIY/homeowner with no clue what he/she was doing.

Really? I had a bunch of fires and no signs of the blocks falling apart. But, I usually don't have huge fires either.

I made this one out of full and half size cinder block. A couple bags of stone, and a tube of construction adhesive (a bead of glue on the outer edges only). About $75 total in material. So far it's been working out great.

The gun range market in NJ is far from saturated. Still lots of money to be made

Experience with what part? Storing guns or buying, transfers, etc?

Well, with the FNX 45 you are back to a DA/SA hammer fired pistol. So, the only other polymer DA/SA hammer fired .45 I can think of for you to try would be the Beretta PX4 in .45. They also make the PX4 .45 SD (special duty) model. Rotating barrel, very ergonomic, probably the most underrated pistols ever. Also, fairly large grip. Capacity is only a meager 9 or 10rd mag. http://www.px4storm.com/px4storm_technicaldata.aspx

It feels more natural and comfortable for me to grab the magwell. I also find I am more accurate and have better control of the rifle this way. And while not a practical reason, reaching further out on the barrel/handguard makes you a larger target. Another thing to mention is, I have M4 style rifles with government profile barrels, carbine length handguards, and carbine length gas systems, with no attachments hanging off them, Therefor, the front end of my rifles are very lightweight. I did buy a Ruger SR556 with the piston system, which had the gas block way out near the muzzle and a long heavy handguard. The rifle felt very front heavy and awkward to me. I was much slower with it moving from target to target. I sold it as fast as I bought it. So, it does make a difference on your particular setup.

Why is that? Never mind, just saw your magwell post.

Use the magwell as a grip.

I just hope they serve you a cheeseburgers with every purchase of range time.

Looks delicious.

You don't think so? Maybe, maybe not. 3rd circuit court of appeals locations: Newark Trenton Camden http://www.njd.uscourts.gov/directions I can tell you this, any 2A case from NJ that ever made it to the 3rd circuit was ruled in favor of, wait for it, NJ!! Scotus, no. But they have yet to grant cert to any 2A case coming out of NJ.
