Yeah it sucks I know, but I dont have the $$$ to buy more than one so I usually only pick up 1 at a time.

PM sent (not trying to put a blemish on the people I bought it from as they are good guys from what I've seen).

Yepp its on the hammer, slide and frame. The last picture is with the grips removed. I have more parts of the frame showing rust but that was the only one I was able to pic up with my camera.

Yeah, Im worried because the frame is rusting that they might try and replace the whole unit (which if thats what it comes to then so be). I am pretty sure I would have to have the firearm sitting with an FFL until I was able to obtain a new permit which just took me 6 frigging months lol.

So after the 6+ month wait to get my permit I was so excited to buy my SR1911 that I didn't inspect it nearly as close as I should have. Lets just say that the rust is not easily detectable by any means (plus I am completely new to 1911's so I was just dumbfounded by the feel and fit and couldn't wait to bring the thing home. Anyways, I get it home take it apart lube it up and notice what looks to be rust on the hammer. I think to myself maybe it isn't rust and try and rub it off but no luck. Then I start to look closer at the rest of the finish and F&!% sure enough I see signs of oxidation on the frame and the slide! So I'm already contacting Ruger but I am just hoping its not a contaminated batch of materials or something because then I'll be waiting another 6+ months before I'll be able to pick the replacement piece up! Okay, now that I have vented a bit ... has anyone else come across anything like this before? I only bought it on the 25th!

M&P 9c imo, love the grip both for feel and the angle points more naturally. I would say the glock definitely has a better stock trigger but if you upgrade the m&p with the apex kit you have the best 9mm striker fired gun on he planet. Plus there is the added bonus of being made in the U.S. and smith has great cust service, if you were to have any issues (which you most likely won't because the gun is ridiculously dependable/durable) smith will fix it.

I just bought a ruger Sr1911 this week and its my first 1911 ... Haven't been to the range with it yet but damn I'm in love.

Lmfao

Well maybe I can afford to eventually have a snack sized bag of chips but family sized? I doubt that is in my future, at least not anytime soon lol. Regardless, I am still playing with this thing in anticipation for my next range visit.

Lol I'm in love with this thing already ... Problem is 1911's are generally too much coin for my tastes so I doubt I can afford a full bag of chips .. lol.

Thank you sir, I plan on enjoying her for years and years.

So I went ahead and picked up my newest addition today the SR1911, I wanted the commander but when I held the fullsize it felt so right I just grabbed it up. My first 1911 and I cant wait to shoot it! Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

That Sig is nice, most likely whatever I end up getting might have to be transferred from gunbroker so Ill look into them and see what I can find at a good price Yeah I want a 45 but theyre just too damn expensive to shoot, but I think I would stay true to the roots of the 1911 and stick with 45 cap if I decide to go that route. I wanted the wiley clap version of the GP when I first applied for my permit but the timeframe and all the waiting made it a much tougher decison now. The gun of course will be mostly just a fun range tool and if I like it better than my m&p I might turn it into my HD piece too.

Not interested in glocks that is why I chose the M&P originally, I'm also looking into getting something with a hammer this time aroun in order just to expand my comfort with controls. Only 1 permit this time around as I barely have the funds to purchase this one let alone 3 lol.

So I finally got my okay to go pick up my permit. When I first applied I had my mind set on a 357 revolver either the GP or 686. Since the P.D. took 6 months to issue the permit I now can't make up my mind .. here are my choices. 357 revolver GP/686 1911 Sr1911 or Spartan Fnx 40 or P-01 or a pocket 9. Right now I have a m&p 9 and the sp101 22lr if that helps. So just which of these guns appeal most you and why?

Whooo hoo! Guess who finally got notice that their FPID and P2P are available to pick up? Yepp, this guy right here and it only took 6 month and 5 days lol.

BTW, welcome NightOwl these forums are filled with great people who can offer some valuable advice. What range do you plan on going to the most?

A little good news and bad news .. like NightOwl my wife got a letter yesterday saying her I.D. and permit are ready for pickup so that is some good news. On the flip side, I didn't get anything yet. Hopefully I'll get it in the mail in the next few days and the delay isn't a sign of more bad things to come for me.

As of 17 minutes ago, I have been patiently waiting for my FPID and P2P for 6 months now ... unbelievable.

This is good to know because I never thought that it was legal.

Djg, correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought that threaded barrels were illegal in nj even if they were the only eavil feature on a weapon.

From what I just read at policemag.com the barrel is threaded soooo its a no go. Can't post the link cause I'm on my phone right now ill try and remember to do so later.

Wow .. okay I guess its not soo bad, I'm just frustrated because I'm already looking for new places to move to and I'd like to atleast be able to buy something before I have to go through the entire process all over again.

This is getting to be beyond ridiculous at this point, both my wife and I had applied for FPID (her original, I had to update my address) in January. We were well aware that the current climate would probably mean that wed have to wait longer than usual to hear back. 5 months later (about 5 minutes ago) I decided to contact the lady who handles the applications and ask for a status on our application. Her reply was along the lines of "I can give you a status because there are far too many applications right now, we are just starting to get to the point where we are printing some of them out and we will give you a call when yours is ready", unbelievable! Im honestly just shaking my damn head over here ... guess thats what you get for living in Edison. Okay now that I have ranted and vented a bit, has anyone else experienced this much of a hold up in their town? My guess is that the cops here are too busy trying to firebomb each others houses and don't have time to look over applications lol.
