Old Glock guy

First heard about the show on this forum. Now I'm hooked on it. I hate all of you.

OK, maybe I was too specific. How about the standard M&P 40(FS) vs. the Glock 35? Are they fun to shoot? Has anyone here tried both to be able to compare them? I don't compete and I don't carry; just looking to enjoy some range time and have it available in the extremely unlikely need for HD.

That's not trolling, that's being obviously facetious. Trolling is more like the guy who started the thread recently about CCW in NJ, and got a couple of pages of responses.

Similar for me, but with 7 in the tube and a handgun nearby, also with nothing in the chamber. Sometimes I wonder if I'll have time to do all that racking in the event of a home invasion. No kids, so I guess I could keep them ready to go, if I really wanted to.

Good article! I almost wish I had not watched the video, as I probably would have benefitted more from not knowing what to expect when I get around to taking Simunitions. BTW, a retired LEO guy was just telling me yesterday (and I'm not making this up) that if you ever have to shoot someone, you should poop in your pants (not his exact words), so that you can then claim that you were so much in fear for your life that you couldn't help yourself. Not sure if I could actually do that. In fact, in the likely event that it really happened, I would probably want to clean it up before anyone arrived. (Sorry Maks, if that's too graphic.)

True in my town as well. I've heard the in some towns, one can just bring them down to PD headquarters and they will sign off on them. In my case, I had to wait a few days.

My feeling exactly! I know you have taken Urban Pistol 1 (as have I), and I've also taken UP2. Both were high adrenaline experiences; but I can't even imagine the intensity of having someone shooting back. Anthony, I assume your "bad guys" vary the scenarios, so people don't catch on to a pattern?

So when is opening day???

Does the road continue as a trail, where one could go on foot?

Thanks, just bought a case. And I don't even have an AR yet! (But I plan to get one soon.)

I think one of these is going to be my next acquistion. I have four P2P's sitting around, just begging to be used. I currently have five HG's: G23, gen.?; G19, gen.4; G34; M&P 9FS; Beretta 92A1. Note that all of those are 9mm, except for the G23, which was my first HG, but is really not much fun to shoot because it's pretty snappy. A kind gentleman let me try his M&P 40 (4.25" barrel) at CR a couple of days ago, and it seemed to shoot a lot smoother than my G23. Plus, one can purchase the Pro Series in .40 S&W, whereas with the M&P 9 the Pro Series is unavailable in NJ due to the mag size. OTOH, I love my G34. It's probably my favorite of my collection, so adding another Glock might be a realistic possibility. (Especially considering my screen name.) Yes, I could get both, but I really don't think I need two more HG's in .40 caliber. Just wondering who has had experience with either of these.

I saw that last night. Good show. Hey, who is the dude they are always showing, who has a beard, long coat, and gloves; who they show over and over shooting in slow motion? Is that someone famous, or is it just some random guy? I must say, for whatever reason, it's really starting to grate on me the way they show him over and over. So unless he's an icon that I don't know about, I wish they would quit showing him and let me focus on the discussion. Sorry for that rant, but it's been irking me. BTW, that Remington 870 Tactical Express is a sharp looking gun. I already have a Mossberg 500 for HD, and I really don't need another shotgun, but I'm starting to hear that one calling to me.

Sounds like they would be fun to run on. How do I go about finding them? I remember many years ago a friend taking us for a ride on a relatively smooth dirt road in West Milford or thereabouts, which I believe he said was from the Revolutionary War. Does that ring a bell with anyone? I can't for the life of me remember where it was.

The cameras in my town are placed high up on utility poles, where they are not nearly as accesible as the ones on that website. To the OP, as others have noted, there are no points involved with your violation, just a fine. As a wise man once told me, if you have a problem, and you can solve it with money; then it's not really a problem, just an expense. Not to minimize your plight, because it still hurts to pay out hard earned money needlessly, but sometimes those words help me keep things in perspective.

Forgot to mention that the barrel on that Mossberg #50577 model is short (18 1/2", I believe) and perfect for HD or SHTF. It is my understanding that one can easily obtain and switch barrels if you wanted to start shooting clays or doing some hunting with it. Sounds like you've done some research, so you're probably already aware of that. BTW, there was also a recent discussion here of what shotgun ammo to use for HD: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/25155-best-shotgun-ammo-for-home-defense/ Hope that helps.

Remington 870 vs. Mossberg 500 is a frequent discussion on the web. We had a thread on that subject here not long ago. You might want to check out that discussion. Here is a copy of what I posted on that thread: Ah, the eternal shotgun question. There are discussions of this all over the web. You can do a search to read all the opinions, but ultimately you might as well just flip a coin, because there is not much to choose between them. I agonized over this for awhile, and ended up with the Mossberg 500 Persuader. This one: http://www.mossberg....0/NEW/50577.jpg I like the no-nonsense look of it, but the R870 looks almost exactly the same.

Nice!

Hiker, glad you and your daughter are OK. I had a treacherous ten minute drive home from my office a little while ago; slipping and sliding, avoiding downed limbs and cars that had slid off the road. As I wondered why so many trees were down, I had a lightbulb moment: So that's why trees lose their leaves before every winter! Can't believe it took me nearly 60 years to figure out that the weight of snow on leaves causes limbs (and in some cases whole trees) to fall down. I guess the trees are a lot smarter than I am!

Ray, where have you been? That video has been all over the place. BTW, I really like it. ("Why do you need a gun?" Don't I hear that one all the time!)

Maks, I agree with the other posters who say we should not be too quick to judge them. It's quite possible that with everything else they have going on in preparation for opening, they just haven't gotten around to becoming a vendor on this forum yet. I'm sure I'll spend some time there, especially in the winter; but I'm almost exactly a half hour from CR and the BH, and only about 20 minutes from the range in Paterson (which I haven't gotten around to trying yet), so I don't think I'll go for a membership at a place that's 40 minutes away.

Yeah, I was just kiddin' with ya a little bit. Seriously, I envision that if I ever had to confront an intruder, I would get up out of bed, reach for my firearms (probably the shotgun first), and get in a defensive position to use them. I guess it depends to some extent on the proximity of one's bedroom to the intruder's point of entry. Mine is on the second floor, so I'm hoping I would hear the entry and have time to do what I described above. Better still would be if I had time to put on hearing protection, but that might be asking a lot.

Congratulations and good choice! Now you need to get another P2P so you can go back and get the Beretta.

According to my sources at GFH (not legal advice, but pretty knowledgeable), yes that would indeed cause future problems with new FID's, P2P's, etc.

Works for me! I think it's the perfect combo. To t_i_n, I hope you're kidding about being too lazy to get out of bed to shoot an intruder.

Great picture. Lucky (rich) bastard!
