Thanks for the input...I have attended and completed some NRA courses already.....they were pretty eye opening...I am going to make some USPSA matches....

Naw...all fun....I have seen some people go broke with their hobby.... Oh...Its Smith and Wesson!!!!

I started out with exposure to guns when I was in college through my father who was in the military. When he retired from his job, he really got into guns. I was too busy running around when he was trying to teach me. Well, he passed away 10 years. I finished med school and my residency and I was too busy to get involved in guns or shooting. My father had an impressive collection. Four years ago, I wanted to get into shooting and a lot of resistance from my wife. I played and still paintball but recently, we had a burglary at our home with my wife and children present. That changed the game!!!!! I applied for my FID and several guns later..here I am. Springfield, Smith and Wesson and so on..... Thanks to this forum, I have learn a lot....thanks for feeding my addiction and keeping my credit cards and bank accounts on fire!!!!

Just picked up my Walther PK380 from Paul....Well, play with this on Thursday at SS. I think I will bring my tricked out SA subcompact .40 for kicks...

Just a question: Are talon ammo that ammo to go sells is illegal in Jersey for home defense?

I am a physician.....and NO....emphatically....NO

I like all that have been discussed.... I would say a Beretta.... fun to shoot. Recoil is minimal. Sexy looking gun. I have a 92fs.... I am a Springfield fan. That would be my next choice... but again, as the old much more experience heads say, you have to go out and shoot these guns....Opinions are like a..holes, everyone has one. I know there are Glock fans. S&W fans and Beretta fans. But I would go out and hold one and shoot one.....

I started with a .40; however, I shot a 9mm, 44 mag, 357 mag, .45 auto and I inherited these fine specimens. My first gun was a .40 and loving it. Ammo is expensive but I concentrated on technique and basics. My groups are tight and love my .40 .....

Both were over 30 pounds

It is fair. I had 2 boxes shipped and it was 30....

Sent payment through PP with address information Black XXL Thanks

I agree with everyone on this thread....I inherited a Paraordnance P12 .45 ACP....It is fun as hell!!!!!But EXPENSIVE...I had 100 rounds the first day I shot it and then spent another 100 that day on ammo....Buyer beware..

Did you try PK90? Vendor on this site....He is great!!!! Just got my Springfield from him 2 days ago...

Who would you recommend for the trigger work?

Well, I had the opportunity to try out this fine specimen at Shore Shot tonite...Purchased it from PK90 for a phenomenal price and played with it today. All the RA RA about recoil and snappiness is BS...This weapon has some but not like I thought it would be. I have small hands and I was fine after a hundred rounds...Plan to go back out on Sunday and "get it in....."

I shot it today....I went to Shore Shot and the counter people thought the gun was brand new. I told them that my father kept guns really clean. He bought this gun before he got sick in the mid to late 90's

I inherited this gun from my father who passed....This has only about 500 hundred rounds through it....Has not been shot since about 2000 because my father became...He kept his gun meticulously clean as this one. Any suggestions before trying to shot this gun other than oiling it...should I get a gunsmith check it first.....There is a brand new box of AMMO which is obviously old at this time....Hydroshocks and Federal American Eagle (100 rounds)...Do I dispose of the ammo because of the age or just use it at the range..Thanks

Go with the tried and true .45...It is good at the range and self-defense...

Just purchased the XD subcompact .40 in OD tonite......

Well, If you saw a post that I put up about 2.5 weeks regarding my FID and 3 permits, the detective had all my paper and told me that it just needed a signature from the "Chief"....Now it is about 6 weeks....Do I make to the call to the records department and find out the status or do I sit, wait and keep quiet??
