Good to know .... I think the gun is a steal even at it current price.

Howard ... I have been kicking myself that I didn't grab the m&p in 40 and get the conversion barrel back when I bought that for those very reasons. Oh well, you live and you learn I guess.

I figure while 40 might be a bit more expensive it might not be horrible to shoot both calibers, especially when it gets rough to get your hands on 9mm (times like now). Plus I also worry that the scarcity of 9mm will result in higher prices due to demand and close the gap between the two rounds even further.

Very nice! I applaud you.

Hey guys, so whenever EPD calls me to tell me my permit is in I think I have my eyes set on the sig SP2022. I wanted the walther ppq, but I think my wife in going to get that sexy little shooter and well (outside of my revolver) I dont have a hammer fired handgun. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with one and what their thoughts are on it. On a side note, as of now I only shoot 9mm but with the obvious shortage of ammo and the fact that I wouldn't mind just having a little change in my routine I was thinking about maybe going for the 40 s&w version (the only real reason I haven't before is 9mm fits my budget better) are there any 9mm guys out there that have gone down this road before? Just want to make sure I dont do anything Ill regret in the future.

Congrats man I'll never forget how happy I was when I made my first handgun purchase, you picked a great gun too!

M&p 40 and check out the Sig pro 2022 as well.

I think I'd be more likely to buy used under these circumstances. Otherwise, I tend to lean towards always buying new.

I havent even tried purchasing anything since all the craziness began because I moved but I just applied for my FID and a pistol permit today. I was just wondering if the craziness has made it harder to obtain the pistol of your choice. I really want either a PPQ which I think were discontinued, a CZ P-01 or maybe even the 75b. Should I go to my LGS and put in an order now even though God knows when I'll actually get my permit? Has anyone here had any issues findibg the pistol you wanted because of recent events?

Lol initially i was just about to buy all the long guns I wanted but then my wife is getting her first FPID and permit and I became jealous right away can handguns just have that sexiness factor lol.

So since I moved I had to reapply for my FPID, I also needed to get my fingerprints taken again. I already handed in my paperwork and need to turn in my fingerprint receipt tomorrow. Problem is that I didn't ask for a pistol permit and of course now I want one. Does anyone know if they will let you just add the permit to the current application or if Ill have to refile for the permits separately?? I know Im a dummy for this one lol.

Sup Joe its Kevin, I wouldnt keep your fingers crossed because when the wife and I went to Edison to get our FID's (because we moved a few blocks over, gotta love NJ) Daneen told us they were "really backed up" and it was going to "take a long time". If you ask me they're just stalling for new laws to be passed ... SMDH

Thanks for all the info, I am also located in Edison if that helps.

Our backyard isnt the biggest so Im not sure Im going to take the risk but what if I ventured out to a public area that was pretty secluded?

Hey guys, So I haven't owned a bow in years but I used to go practice archery with my father over a decade ago. Recently, my 11 year old brother has developed an interest in bow hunting and wants to go with me. Neither of us have our license and I know well have to attend classes etc. I was just curious if it is legal for us to go out in a wooded area and set u a target and get some practice? My father used to take me out to fields and behind schools and we would practice pout there but i am not sure of how legal that was, I figure somebody here could probably tell em if that is legal or not. If it isnt legal, where is best place to go to get some practice in with a bow and arrow? Kev

Tell me about it ... but I can't change topics now.

Thanks again guys, yes the quality of sources is pretty important, thanks for the source!

Wow, I wish I could find a cited source that states this lol ... hmmm wondering if I could quote this thread haha

My thoughts exactly, does anyone know if statistics exist of murders performed with legally owned weapons vs those bought on the street or stolen??

Thanks a bunch guys, these are great!! Keep em coming!

Hey guys, So I have to write a positional paper for a college class and I decided I want to write a pro-gun paper. Just wondering what sites, organizations, stats, etc. might be useful. Thanks a bunch, Kev

I just had this on my pistol, and I found the perfect way to correct surface rust. Send it back to Ruger they fixed it and now my gun is as good as new. (sorry I know this wasnt helpful but I just wanted to boast a bit lol)
