Once ratings got involved, the "news" hasn't been really a report of news...

Funny thing... My WIFE was reading this over my shoulder and said almost the same thing! LOL! Touch crowd! 112# of redheaded Irish fury who wields a 12ga with authority! RoxyTJ, definitely check and be conscious of your form. You may have good cheek weld and base, but may not be "planting" the stock snugly. You might even need a little length adjustment.

+1 for your wife getting her own FID. Your wife should be able to work the slide of either of those shotguns just fine, but a shorter barreled pump is what I would steer you towards and not a double. Find a nice old, original Ithaca pump, even better! The real thing for it to be effective in her hands will be finding a load that she can handle - effectively - and provides for good defense. Nice thing about a pump, you can progressively load your shells from a light shot to buck.

"Why do you need to concern yourself with my business."

It's just under a mile from the station (I walk it 5-6 times a month for business). I personally would shoot for the 7:52 or 8:07 am train out of Rand because we'll be running in prime commuter hours and the River Line seems to be particularly heavy Friday mornings.

What in the he!! is this country coming to??? Really!?!? Remove the American Flag from a VFW???

Welcome! A long, long time ago, I was born in Elmer Hospital and grew up on N. Main St. So much has changed since those days...

One is never enough. Get the StripLuLa and the LuLa to cover both base for when you have strippers and when you don't!

To add, it's under $10 roundtrip by rail almost anywhere in the state accessible by rail! Once off the station in Trenton, it's a very short walk!

Worth a trip for Sarco, but not on Sunday. I will never, ever step foot in, or do business with, any of the Heritage Guilds after what they just pulled on me.

There are a couple of FFL members here who do the mods, and they're at both ends of the state. Get in touch with one and have them call the PA FFL when he gets back. Not you, but the FFL to FFL so they can talk. The PA FFL is well within his means, sure you do not like it, but it is his FFL on the line and he can choose not to transfer it to you. I'm sure he can be talked into sending it to another FFL, but if nothing else sending it back. Either way, it'll cost you some scratch over having just had it sent to a NJ FFL who would have converted it.

Springs are spring steel and may have sufficient chromium content to resist corrosion. I've not really bothered to look at mine for that much detail. I can tell you that no polymer dye requires boiling. 180 degrees is generally tops, and such temperature is too slow to change the spring constant of every spring grade steel.

If anyone can tell me what the polymer used for Pmags is, I can help out much more. However, I can tell you that you're not getting the base color out of them. It's through-coloring done with the base polymer pellets. You can successfully dye most polymers using automotive-grade dyes.

The Shield in 9mm shoots beautifully! Nice choice!

You are correct on 1 and 2 unless something changes. Have many of them myself.

Really depends on the gun and how limited the manufacturing of it was. For instance, in my collection I have S&W 27-1s, which is an uber-rare enngineering change of the Smith for 1 year. Those are incredibly sought after and all barrel lengths sell regularly for $1200-$2000. I acquired an unfired 27-1 in 5-inch and have been offered $4000 from fellow collectors for it. With your Colt, they are very easy to come by and don't fetch the big dollars. The 17-4 might capture a bit more as many of us Smith guys like the M17 (shoot me some pictures and let's discuss that one).

Ditto on JoeyD and Wombat. Honestly, if you're a relative novice and shooting .357Sig like that at 5 yards you'll be easy to polish! I will offer the same as Wombat if you are in the south end here - to help you with your grip and trigger work. I'm a pistol instructor and a huge Sig guy (own 210s, 220s, 226s, 229s, 225s, 238s, 2022s). You don't mention if your 229 is an E2 or not, or what trigger configuration you have, but you would not be the first shooter whose grip is not compatible with E2 (I'm one).

Can't answer for Livingston in particular, but can tell you there was a gentleman into my local PD this morning submitting his application while I was dropping off my application for more permits. Clerk told him it would be 6 weeks instead of the usual 4 for FPID because Trenton has been slow. The way the law is written, there's no on or off days for accepting. Obviously that doesn't affect sitting in a pile on a desk somewhere.

Life member for a long time here, and I just made my nephew one, signed up my IT guy, and signed up twelve out of 18 in my last Basic Pistol class. No-one is totally on-board with all aspects of the NRA, but they are the mass representation of gun owners and the anti-gunners are always playing the numbers game. Can you imagine if you just could have every gun owner in four States with the highest number of registered hunters become members, you'd add more than 2.5 million.

Had a beer with my FFL tonight after yet ANOTHER big disappointment in my trials to acquire a CX4 Storm in .45... I'm just gonna stop trying to buy new firearms and stick with acquiring classics I think - UGH! Anyway, gave him 100 double-sided flyers and he's going to give them to every single person coming in to get their firearms! Made him 4 11x17 versions for the entry and bulletin board too.

Numbers, numbers, numbers! We need to show in BIG numbers! I'm surprised Christie changed his travel plans, but good for us!

Let me see how our supplier feels about cutting a deal on some mounting board, and maybe I can help out with getting that.

Who needs a range when you have friends with serious acreage! My wife and I are VT regulars throughout the year camping in the warm and snowmobiling in the winter. Hope things don't change!

How many of these are you looking to get?

No, there's no prescribed time period of knowing them. Just cannot be related in any way.
