Duppie

It's time..... I have decided on the CZ75b for the range and now to round out the arsenal for the near future, I want a shotgun! I've shot the Mossberg 500 and like it but what other options are available to me? Not interested in a over/under or side by side and a single shot seems like a waste of time,also not into the Mall Ninja/black gun/tactical scene but still want something I can protect the loved ones,kill cans and zombies and still function as a SHTF firearm. Ammo? I have searched the NJGF archives but would be interested in recent opinions. Thanks.

We were fortunate to have the ocean in our back yard so as children we emulated the kids on Flipper and was so envious of their access to a Boston Whaler and a cool dolphin. We entertained ourselves playing WAR with jelly fish that left a welt that lasted for a couple days when it came in contact with bare flesh. No guessing who was wounded and who died.{3 welts = death and the elimination from the battle}. Then fought hermit crabs or make garfish darts to wind down the evening.

My wife had a difficult time racking the slide on my Sig so I went out and purchased a Taurus 605 .357 and changed to some inexpensive but very comfortable Hogue grips. we did the NRA course,she shot and practiced with it and a speed loader and now is quite comfortable with it. It now resides in the bed stand along with a speedloader and tactical flashlight. Am I confident she will know exactly what to do if the the occasion arises? Not entirely but at the very least it gives her a fighting chance...

I am buoyed by the groundswell of support that America has displayed in this respect, we still have a long way to go IMHO, and gains are hard won but we may be around to see a free New Jersey just in time to shoot ourselves in the foot in a geriatric stupor.

Good to know! Thanks.

I'm no genius but saw that coming......

....I must be a slow learner,I just can't seem to embrace this gun fully and even after opting for it after testing, I still have a certain amount of buyer's remorse....

Thanks... I still have a nagging problem with my p250 with a very stiff spring and infrequent issues with FTE's using some ammo. Don't want to start off on the wrong foot.

Maks. In reference to CZ break in. Will buy a 75b quite soon and I am quite interested in initial cleaning and proper break in. can you elaborate if it's not too much trouble?

Taurus 605 3 inch 357 revolver with Federal hollow points,HKS speed loaded with same,Hellfighter x2 flashlight,My IPhone,half eater bag of sour gummies,picture of my deceased dog and a pair of mink lined hand cuffs I got at the Pink Pussycat Boutique in Greenwich Village in the 90'S..... Never used.

Was considering the satin nickle or stainless so as to put on some rosewood grips but then decided that before I pull out that flashy of a gun I had better learn to shoot first or be the laughing stock at the range. I'll properly go with the basic black finish and spend the flash money on a trigger job and extra mags.

...also my next gun when Monroe gets good and ready to issue me my 2 ppp's... Where are you getting your;s from and how much?

Crap.....I just got finished marinating 5lbs of pork belly for the grill on Sunday...looks like it's to go...

If you feel so strongly about it....don't "kack-off". Stick around for awhile and nudge her into buying some guns you'll like to shoot just in case she "kacks off".

I caught it finally it On Demand and kept my finger on Fast Forward button for a large part of the show.I'll give it perhaps 1 or 2 more episodes before giving up. Too many rambling and painfully melodramatic monologs, over the top lapses in logic {They're in Atlanta right? and still can't find more firearms as yet?} all those abandoned vehicles and they're still driving around in a 30 year old RV and beat up jeep?

As a proud naturalized American citizen that has spent more than half my life here I refuse to give up on America....That being said I also refuse to give up my home country's passport either.It's mine and my family's insurance policy if you will. I don't like what I've seen and experienced here in just the past decade and like most Americans can't say I'm better off today than I was 5 or 10 years ago but am reminded that it is so in just about the rest of the world also. Lets just say I remain cautiously optimistic but have an exit strategy.

As seemingly one of the few Sig p250 compact 9mm owners on this forum, I have only my limited firearm experience to draw from. I have no romantic,first gun loyalty to this firearm, firing a number of pistols before and since I purchased the 250 and while liking the gun ,trigger, and ease of firing,break down and cleaning , I do have some issues with it. I bought it with the intent of it being a HD gun but have since bought a revolver to fit that criteria. The trigger is linear and after quite a bit of range time, accurate but it takes too much work, time and resources and I'm over it. The peripherals such as conversion kits, spare mags, holsters and upgrades are few and far between not to mention, expensive and the gun does not like some ammo such as S&B and reloads.I truly believe that SIG has basically abandoned this concept and while still a inexpensive,viable alternative to other DA guns on the market, it would be better served marketed to LEO's and some security forces. In retrospect, I believe I would have been better served if I had got the Glock 19,CZ75,or any one of the SA/DA semi autos on the market.

Because my range time is rare and precious and because I purchased so many spare mags with the concept of spend your time shooting not reloading,I transport with unloaded guns in locked hard case and the balance of range gear, including loaded mags,speed loaders and extra ammo in a separate bag{I drive a estate wagon}. I do believe this has to be one of the most frequently asked questions on this forum and one of the first I asked also.As johnoutdoors quite succinctly said ,you have to decide what works for you and satisfies your comfort level.

I lived and went to collage in Manhattan during that era and was a regular at Ceebee Geebees,pyramid lounge,the Beacon and such and loved the Ramones but the best concert I remember was the Clash,it went on for 3 hours with only breaks for more Jack Daniels

I spent a whole harvest season in Manitoba, Canada in a combine going around in circles in a cab with only Charlie Pride,Patsy Cline and Glen Campbell to keep me company.... I dare say that country is not my favorite music and would rather have the Sex Pistols,Blondie and the Ramones to finish my day.

I think that may be your best bet, I recently moved to Monroe from East Brunswick and from talking with new neighbors and friends, it appears that Monroe is not quite motivated to expedite FIDs and PPL's claiming staffing shortages.So be prepared to wait.

I was about the same age when myself and a friend found a stack of old tires on the side of a pretty busy road and decided to roll some across light weekend traffic,diving into a ditch when the drivers would stop to seek retribution as it were. All went fine until one of the larger tires rolled across the road right into the open door of the local 7 days Adventist church in the midst of services. We hid but was eventually found, took several hard hits from the faithful and was transported to our parents who after apologizing profusely, continued corporal punishment until we couldn't sit comfortably for several days. Thankfully we didn't encounter any crossbows but we learned a very hard lesson that day and so has these kids in the news story.

Growing up the Caribbean,I've lived through 5 Hurricanes,earth quakes just about monthly,bush fires,monsoon floods and a waterspout. Just about the only thing we stocked up on was water,kerosene for lamps and a small cooking stove,rum and maybe some canned goods. Now all these years later,I still stock up the same but now include ammo. And yes New Jerseyites do tend to panic somewhat with every snow storm,nor Easter and now hurricanes.

Edison's Costco was a nightmare and the water is going fast..

Yes..$3.00 off.
