Looking to buy my first handgun!
It is common, and they will order the gun you want if it's available. Usually does not take long to get, a couple days is the norm, unless its some special gun or is in high demand. It took me 7 months to get a DPMS LR-308, but that was 2yrs ago, and they were way backordered. In contrast, it only took 3 days for my Glock 26 gen4 to show up.

Should be easy to find. It will be roughly the same price, although there are some places that are way overpiced. $325-$350. You can buy on the interent, it is just as easy as buying from a local store. Gunbroker or Budsgunshop.com. I like to buy local when available. It usually works out about the same $$.

Looking to buy my first handgun!
IMO, I would go with a 9mm pistol as my first. 22lr are nice, there fun, there cheap to shoot, but they get boring real fast. I have an SR22, a S&W 63, and a AA conversion kit for my Gen4 Glock 19. I can never just go to the range and shoot 22lr, I bring them to kill time between shooting the bigger calibers. Again, this is just my opinion, and you might just want to shoot 22 and nothing else, but I think you will get bored before your next P2P is useable. Like others have mentioned, get a service caliber pistol, and a 22lr conversion kit. I know the budget is tight, so maybe a 9mm now and in 2 months or so a conversion kit. BTW, RTSP has an SR22 in their rental department that you can go and try out.

why are guns so over price!
They don't depreciate like a Chevy. That's why I always opt for new.

Getting my FID, looking for my first handgun
Beretta PX4 Storm is also a nice pistol. You could go to RTSP and rent a few different pistols to try. They have a nice selection of rentals and for sale pistols. I don't think you need an FID to rent a pistol and use the range, bit don't quote me on that.

New Member from Parsippany
What's up neighbor, Hanover hear. We are about halfway between rstp and the bullethole in belleville. Two good indoor ranges. For outdoor range I use cherry ridge in highland lakes, nj, about 30min away. They have up to 300yd rifle, handgun, shotgun, and a plinking range. Edit. There is also Patterson gunsmithing in Patterson, NJ that has an indoor range and there will soon be another range opening in woodland park, NJ (formely west Patterson). Both which are close.

Is it pointless to have a Glock 26 and a Glock 19?
I have a bunch of Glocks. The 26 is by far my favorite. I feel the 26 is a better shooter than the 19 but it might just be the way it fits my hand. That being said the 19 is an excellent compliment to the 26. But the 19 is definitely not a duplicate of the 26, 15rds full grip vs 10rd 2 finger grip. The 26 is much easier to conceal. A compact Glock is a good addition to every collection. You could always opt for a different caliber compact like the 23 or 32. I sold all my gen 3's for all gen 4's. I wanted consistent grips on all my Glocks. Something else to think about.

GLOCKMOBILE!!
It's still Bergen County. The only place in NJ people live that when asked where you live, they respond with the county, not the town.

Our First Open-Carry Experience
Can you transport your pistol to PA just to carry it? Or do you actually need a destination such as a range to be legal?

Finally a good article out of ny
Quick, we need to ban this article before people read it and realize it is sound and valid.

NYT picture of the prettiest Glock I've ever seen...
Well at least they corrected themselves. Read under the last sentence.

Bloomberg wants police strike in protest of lax gun laws
First off, its illegal for the NYPD to strike. Second, maybe this asshole Blommberg should just pack up a move himself to one of those countries where all firearms are banned. In the USA we like our guns. See ya.

Glock 19 Guide rod
You can reuse the spring. The usual life span is about 2,500rds on those springs (5,000 on the gen4 dual spring). The pistol will function the same with the SS guide rod. Some people swear by the steel guide rods. I for one stick to the oem plastic ones.

Want to try Glock G26
I have a 26 and a 19 both gen4. Unfortunately im up north. The 26 will definitely conceal better. The 26 in an outstanding shooting and handling gun. Don't get scared off by a 2 finger grip. I am more accurate and faster with my 26 than my 19. Maybe it's the short slide cycle, maybe its the sight radius for me, maybe it's the way it fits my hand, im not sure, but it is just awesome. The 26 is also just plain fun to shoot. I bought my 19 first, then the 26, if it was the other way, i probably wouldn't have bought the 19. I have about 10 pistols currently and the 26 is the one that I always want to shoot first.

Do you keep a shooting log?
I only keep track of number of rounds fired per gun. I use a paper notebook.

You would think someone in that theatre might of had a gun to shoot back. Another reason for normal people to carry guns.
