Maks. I understand the logistics of dealers like Bud's and CTD, but the availability,price and in some cases,service is better there than some local dealers. I am in the process of sourcing a gun that is very popular now and have contacted my FFL, gun shop and used the gun finder on this forum to little or no avail, but was able to find the very same firearm for a very reasonable price,in stock for immediate and free delivery. I sympathize with the small dealers .gun shops and their profit margins but in this economic climate.. every dollar counts. I feel I must preface that statement with the sentiment that I go out of my way to patronize small businesses as a I am in that category myself, but the bottom line remains as such.

I will place an order for the full sized 75b 9mm in black polycoat as well as a pair of CocoBolo thin grips from CZcustom this morning but just waiting for them to open {Arizona time} so as to confirm that they will swap out the 16 round mag for a 10 round to remain NJ compliant. Their prices are quite good and that gun was eligible for free shipping to my FFL. Now all I have to do is find some 15 round mags that don't break my budget and stock up on ammo. Thank you all for your advice and guidance and look forward to meeting some of you soon. Eddie.

Thanks Paul.

So sorry, I just realized. I am interested in a full sized CZ 75 b 9 mm. Thank you Gentlemen.

Done.

Thanks Harry. I can always rely on you for accurate info. I was calling around for 75b prices and mag capacity availability and price simply because I want to eventually try my hand at USPSA events in the future. So what should I start with and are all those off price mags on the net substandard?

I don't want to bounce into the current CZ tread but I have a couple PPP's burning a hole in my pocket and I want a CZ 75 b bad.... Where would be the best place to buy such an animal? I have already contacted my FFL as well as SS and neither can offer me a basic 75b either with the SA or decocker option. These firearms are seemingly so popular now but I'm... how shall we put this delicately?...frugal and want a good price so I can have enough to get cool wood grips and several mags. Mag advice is very welcomed also. Thanks.

From what I understand this could possibly be a instance of where the arresting officer was soon to end his shift and saw an opportunity to get some overtime, It's a common practice in NYC to make a collar and go through the whole process. {In DWI stops a suspect is shuttled to precincts all over NYC eventually ending up in central booking and the Tombs to rack up authorized overtime for the arresting officers} This instance just happened to hit the press because of the simple charge and absurd circumstances.

Welcome, I think you'll like it here...

1. Application type: FID change of address and 3 PPP's 2.Police Department: Monroe Township. 3.Name of person you dealt with at the PD: Dispatcher. Did not get her name but was quite pleasant,however had to remind her that I was to sign the mental health release in front of her as a witness. 4.Time taken to issue FID and/or permit: 42 days. Submitted paperwork on 9/23/2011, prints done on 10/11/2011,references received and mailed back on/about 10/4/2011 pick up on 11/4/2011. 5.Documents required by PD:Standard documents, no additional requests. 6.Notes. Received a call this morning stating that my replacement FID and PPP's were ready for pick up Tomorrow 11/4/2011 and I was to put $11.00 in cash in an envelope along with my old FID and address it to Dominic. And to remember the one gun every thirty days rule. All in all quite a surprisingly short and hassle free process thus far but why only $11.00? Everything was waiting at the records office and I was in and out in 2 minutes. Thank you Monroe Township PD.

Yep, I remember the looks I used to get when declaring my 2 spear guns and dive knife when heading to the Keys or Caribbean. The word "Gun" seemed to propel everyone into a tizzy in those days, I can just imagine the expressions you encounter today.

OK. If you feel that uncomfortable dealing with the lawyer then call his bluff and refuse to make any concessions on the inspection and see if he caves. You'll be out any monies you have already spent on the transaction but you may be able to walk away relatively unscathed.

Agreed.

Same here, I insulated,sheet rocked,put up walls,fire resistant doors,air flow vents,recessed lights,outlets every 3 feet,leveled and tiled the floor,enclosed storage/refrigerator/wine storage room and was able to feature it as a family/entertainment space which helped to market the house. We went through many back and forth's on the inspection list before an agreeable compromise was finally settled on . So unless the basement reno is masking some structural,electrical, or safety issue, I can't see why the OP would want to walk away from not 1 but 2 deals simply because the buyer is a lawyer...Lawyers beget Lawyers. so hire yourself a doberman of a lawyer and let them settle it in their own indeterminate way.

I really haven't calculated it but I figure I saved at least a 1 week vacation in Asia worth with business class seats and still some left over for my Sig. I do know the buyer was pissed after he got the tax assessment and bill for last winter's snow removal.....

When I sold my House in East Brunswick, the buyer demanded a permit for a basement renovation I had done 10 years prior without one, No plumbing but just about everything else including a upgraded panel to withstand all the electronic components that comes with a Man cave/audio video/den set up.I was able to have 4 inspections and issued all necessary permits within 3 weeks at a cost of $550.00. Now the township has assessed the new owner additional taxes for the now permitted basement square footage. I consider my self lucky to have had the uses of the space for all those years for a nominal sum of $550.00. Not sure about your town but the inspectors in EB claimed that they were no longer allowed to tear down walls to check code compliance unless a violation is plainly visible so I'ts just a matter of paying for the permits and getting the useable footage on the tax rolls.

That was exactly the combo package I was interested in....Thank you. Are there any idiosyncrasies or trade offs I should be aware of?

Is it wise to load so called non lethal loads before actually firing the buck shot? sort of a warning if you will?

I read that tread before posting but have recently seen the buzz about the Banellis and some Moss packages so I figured I'd ask. Now in reference to ammo...defensive/offensive/rubber/bean bag...what's the best load for HD and in what sequence?

After some investigation I'm leaning to either the Rem or Moss simply because of reputation and available accessories, I would really like the Moss 500 package with the 2 or 3 interchangeable barrels but I understand it's somewhat rare and pricy. thoughts?

Agreed.

If by chance you were to ever sell your Mossberg I would hope you would IM me. I am attracted to a firearm that is already broken in and has acquired a history.

Good to know in the event I need to board a Somali pirate vessel in the South River to rescue my loved ones and collection of Faro albums....

"Unt Deuchlander Saturday night special?

Never heard of them, but the price seems very attractive, I see the Remington express is also on sale for $270.00.
