Duppie

Perfect venue.Intelligent gun laws,international appeal,billions of disposable dollars, up scale clientele,excellent business plan and execution at a time when interest in guns is at a peak.This guy is raking it in.

.....when all is said and done.....bet you'll never do that again.now will you?

As a newer shooter I was deathly afraid of doing something stupid or worse even after taking the NRA course and was lucky enough to encounter 2 firm but patient RO's in my early days at the range.I read all the rules online and in store,followed the cardinal rules of firearm handling and took it slow,asked questions when I needed to....But rarely....very rarely I appreciated a focused and firm reminder that I'm a noob and a mistake is one mistake too many.Some egos can't handle that and we see this on NJGF constantly,the ability to put aside pride and bluster in favor of safety seems hard to come by at times.

You Sir will no doubt be looking forward to a completely different award ceremony.....

I agree, It's perhaps better to look at it as a rant with an attempt at humor that strictly satire, however he does describe accurately some shooters I've seen.

As satire he failed IMHO, simply because it was too heavy handed and caustic. For satire to be successful it must leave some early doubt and be believable until such time that it hits you as satire. He comes across as elitist and bitter. Again just my opinion.

CZ customs exchanged the 16's for 15's and I got 4 more 15 round mags on sale directly from CZ USA.

No. Henry was not there at the time, some enthusiastic young man who apologized to several of us who came shopping for 9mm. I did pick up a box of Ultramax for $42.00 but that was the only 9mm available.

I had a conversation with a young man behind the gun counter at their East Brunswick branch that explained that they have a standard stocking level on Ammo and encouraged to order up in anticipation of a sale. Recently no matter how much they order above their stocking level, they only receive a fraction of that order and he so much as confirmed that ammo sales have increased to the point that the warehouse have not been able to fill whole orders.

Any Bond movie with Sean Connery.

When I was searching several months back,they were getting scarce but I was finally able to buy one from CZ Customs with 2 15 round mags. I just checked the site and pretty much all of the 9mm are sold out and awaiting delivery. The secret is out apparently.

I grew up with Gilby's and tonic post Cricket, Old Oak Rum and Coke during Carnival,Carib beer while fishing and now a well mixed dirty martini with 2 olives hits the spot.

I hesitate because of the weight of a loaded CCW pistol in let's say a cargo pant pocket and the repositioning of all the peripherals such as a phone,keys,knife etc.....It can get very heavy.

transparently white and like Woody Allen.."I don't tan ...I stroke" and as for balut,there's little else to nosh during those 2am drinking sessions when bonding with the natives. Back home it was pickled pig's feet with hot peppers.

Already have the hook ups...how else am I able to import and carry? what I need is a decent tan and the ability to hold down balut.

No, I grew up in the Caribbean but I have some business opportunities in the Philippines where my wife is from and even though I visit every year for a couple of weeks,living and working in metro Manila is a whole different can of worms.There is a growing expat presences in the whole of Asia and along with it comes the possibility of kidnapping and car jacking so if I intend to spend at least 4 to 6 months in Manila a year, I need to be prepared. By the way, most of the Caribbean is not much better but at the very least I know the lay of the land,lingo and can drive on the right.

I had the opportunity to peruse the aisles at the new Harbor Freight in East Brunswick and was highly impressed at the range of "one time use,need it now tools"and the "have no idea what I'll use it for but it's cool so I have to buy it" items. I picked up a set of precision picks just in case I need to detail clean my CZ,a set of magnetic discs in the event I decide to stash a gun under a piece of furniture and a set of 60lb rated suction cups for climbing tall buildings Mission Impossible style..If I weighed 120... I think my bill was less than $10.00.

I haven't...but one of the deciding factors in not only my decision of pistol type but also some security contractors is the limitations of 5 to 6 rounds and the ease of reloading in a high stress situation.Can 3 extra rounds of 9 mm make a difference? perhaps...perhaps not but I do intend to attend some classes to better my chances if indeed the occasion arises.

That's the way I'm looking at it,a Glock was on my list of must haves eventually,proven reliability in the worst of conditions and I can resell it for quite a tidy profit.

Thanks again Gentlemen.I still have over a year to decide and test some guns before I must make a decision but I did happen to find out that the Glock 26 is the most popular carry weapon over there.

Got one better,Mister bottle with a fan which I freeze overnight and is good for maybe 2 hours.

In 2011 it took me 4 months to get my FID and 2 ppp's in East Brunswick and they claimed that was the norm because of budget and staffing cuts.

I never considered it either but may be viable for my needs. Thanks for the idea.

They look good and also with sweat shields...Thanks.

Thank you for all your suggestions,Pocket carry will be preferable simply because we're talking average temps and humidity in the upper 90's.Except for some rare occasions I will be dressed casually with cargo pants and shorts so a small single stacked 9mm is my preference. The Walther PPS,Ruger LCP,Kel -Tec PF9,Taurus 709 are all on my radar.As much as I would like the G26,I think it may be too bulky for my needs. Now for pocket carry what holster or sleeve is good so as not to transfer the pistol's shape and additionally, is there one pistol that preforms better than the others in these adverse conditions?
