Old Glock guy

So I guess the correct answer is not, "Because I can't carry a gun"?

This reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman froze himself into suspended animation, because he couldn't stand the wait until the new Wii version came out. That May date seems so far off! Could you give us some info about the classes?

It is indeed a good looking gun. I have the 92A1 in black, and I think it's my best looking shooter, but I really like the looks of yours. BTW, nice artsy photo as well.

Nice! Pics?

"On my command, everyone shoot the person to your left."

Nice idea! How long do you think it will take for our legislature to get around to banning them?

Wait, so if someone is at my house, and I let him or her hold a firearm, I've broken the law? So saying that's true, has anyone ever gone to jail, or even been charged with that?

I'll admit that I'm kind of a sore loser. No Devils, no playoffs for me. I might catch a bit of a game here and there if I'm out having a beer, but I won't sit there glued to it.

Very interesting, but isn't it a lot easier to just remember 3.14159?

I like that! "It's settled law, bitches" would certainly sound sweet.

I've taken UP1 at GFH a couple of times. You're going to love it! Practice your holster draw, if you're not already familiar with it. Have fun!

If I'm understanding this correctly, the problem is a relatively recent ruling.

That was a really long way of asking if it's OK to go from home to more than one range, and back home. And as others have noted, of course it is. Oh, but make sure you don't stop for coffee during your long day of shooting.

It may say that, but I'm almost certain magazine capacity greater than six rounds is also illegal by itself.

That would be like the last scene in Return of the Jedi, after the evil empire has been defeated. The Ewoks wil be dancing in the streets with the rest of us!

Thanks RF. Yes, I'm interested in the latter. So the JM series has the same four round mag as the others, but with an extension tube on it? That's the piece of information I was missing. I assumed that it was manufactured with a longer tube.

While I'm envious of all of you who can do that, where does that leave us north Jersey guys, from whom Philly is a couple of hours? Certainly, New York is out of the question, as has been amply documented. Are we doomed to never being able to carry, except in places to which we can drive?

I think what you said right there would make a great bumper sticker: "It's mental health, not magazines, stupid." (I always thought that was kind of a mean slogan, but I didn't make it up. It might have been Carville.)

That's the one! Get one right away. Better yet, get two!

Gentlemen, thanks so much for your prompt comments. HBecwithFN7, looks like the Combo is the home security model with a 28" barrel thrown in, so essentially what you ended up with. The Nordic extension tube looks like a good idea, as just 4 +1 seems rather limiting. Krdshrk, were you somehow able to plug the mag tube of the JM Pro to make it NJ legal? Jaws, thanks for the endorsement. Sounds like just what I'm looking for. Scrap, nice description of the recoil reduction. I've heard of the Limb Saver. The strange thing is that I can shoot all day without my shoulder getting sore, despite my puny frame. It's the cheek smack from one of my three Mossbergs that I find painful and disconcerting.

I know a lot of people here are into building AR's, and I know it's no big deal once you have some idea what you're doing. But personally, I would rather just pay the money to take one off the shelf and start shooting.

Some of you may have seen my thread on cheek smack from one of my Mossberg 500's. I'm thinking the silver lining in this cloud may be that it would give me an excuse to buy a semi-auto. I've lusted after them for awhile, but couldn't really think of a reason to get one. I was considering the 930 combo, which would allow me to use the shorter barrel for general shooting and training classes; and the longer barrel for clays. Anyone have one that could offer some feedback? Does it shoot pretty smoothly? Because if it comes down to it, I would rather continue to get smacked around by a 300 dollar gun than spend the extra money to get smacked by a 700 dollar one.

I can't imagine that they would consider compensating us for magazines that they make illegal. If they don't care about allowing us to defend our lives and our families, why would they give a rat's a** if we were out money on our suddenly illegal magazines?

I have three Mossberg shotguns, a 590A1; and two 500's, one with a 20" barrel (8 + 1), and one with a 28" barrel, that I bought to use for trap and skeet until I decide if I like it enough to get something better. I can shoot the first two all day, with birdshot, buckshot, and slugs; and have done so at various classes and such. The other one just beats the crap out of me, smashing me in the face so hard that within a few shots, my cheek bone is bruised. Now before someone gives me the reflex response that I should keep my cheek welded against the stock, please keep in mind that I have no issues with the other two guns, so I'm having trouble figuring out what could be different. Could it be an issue with how the gun fits me? Or could it be just that the gun is a cheaply made (I paid less than $300 for it new), and doesn't balance well or something? I appreciate any advice that you seasoned shotgunners might be able to provide.

That's a great story! Oh, and to the OP, check out the Springfield XD9 SC. Nice little carry gun with 13 round capacity.
