Old Glock guy

Springfield XD 9mm subcompact for CCW in Free America.

Just had a set of night sights (Trijicon HD) placed on my Springfield XD 9mm SC at RTSP. They did it while I waited, and it took about 15 minutes.

Nice one! I just kind of assumed the OP was ESL.

Thanks RubberBullets! I just ordered 1000 rounds of .223 and grabbed 1000 of 9mm for the pretty good price of $219, even though I didn't really *need* either.

I have never seen a school that provides ammo. Even if they did, I'm sure they would mark it up beyond what you would pay by ordering it yourself. Do you order your ammo in 1000 round lots?

Geez, just have your friend go out and pick up an inexpensive holster, practice with it at home a little bit, and he'll be ready to go.

Yeah, unfortunately, that review is pretty accurate. But you know how drawn we all are to any kind of post-apocalyptic drama.

Anyone see the pilot of this last night? Interesting view of an apocalyptic world, sans zombies. Kind of a different survival skill set than I had envisioned. Lots of knives, swords, and arrows. Hardly any firearms, although there were a few muzzle loaders and one militia guy had a semiauto handgun. Firearms possession by private citizens punishable by death. Almost as bad as NJ. Maybe I am going to need a crossbow after all!

Combat Auto, check the Optics section of this forum. There are lots of threads on this topic. I could do a search and link them for you, but I don't want to spoil your fun.

The Ruger SR22 is small-ish, but not tiny; and it handles any ammo. I have had one for a few months, and while I don't shoot it very often, I can't remember ever having any issues with it.

Not sure why you would mention the ammo after you were cleared to go. What if you had done some minor thing wrong; or if Officer Thompson just was not pleased with how you had it packaged? Would have sucked being detained further (or worse) after you had already been cleared. In any event, nice work. And as 67gtonut notes, you will be amazed to see how casually your check-in is handled on your return from Free America.

I was up there for the first time a little over a month ago. Nice place. Definitely a hassle-free intro to skeet and trap shooting. They provide all the stuff and you just shoot. I'm thinking of getting a 28" barrel for my Mossberg 500 so I can use it up there. Anyone able to tell me what kind of choke I would need?

If you're holding someone at gunpoint, doesn't that imply a willingness to shoot him if he chooses leave? So that can't possibly be allowed in NJ, because either your life is being threatened, and you are justified in using lethal force; or it's not and you can't. If the person you're holding decides to just get up and walk away, what are you going to do, shoot him? (Not trying to be funny, just trying to think this through logically.)

Nice trailer! Good luck with your project. Interesting to see a state that has more prohibitions than we do in NJ. Are AR's really illegal in CA?

I plead guilty to that!

Thank you Vic, and good luck to you!

Hey Wombat, that's a nice drill. I'm going to have to try it. Do you get your drills from somewhere, or do you just make them up?

The sun is shining brightly here in Wayne. Send me a pm if you can go next Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it.

Ditto here. I'll definitely be a bit envious, especially since I did not get there yesterday, as I frequently do on Wednesdays.

Nice Wojo!

MedicYeti, very nice of you to offer first aid training last year. Would anyone know of any first aid classes in north Jersey? I've had plenty of training in CPR, so I would be more interested in learning to treat trauma.

I've heard this a number of times and I'm sure it's true. Now I'm no geography whiz, but couldn't one head north in the event of an emergency to the vastness of New York State and beyond? Having said that, I'm having a difficult time imagining a scenario where I would not shelter in place in my suburban neighborhood. Sorry for taking the thread on a slight detour.

So it doesn't sound like they are particularly practical, but does anyone know why they are illegal?

Another vote for Midway.

Sounds like it's well worth it!
