Two things to remember: 1) A $10,000 custom race pistol can still jam, and the bullet from a $50 single-shot .410 shotgun can still be lethal. Everything else in between can also occur, with varying degrees of probability. 2) Any gun you choose is better than the one you have now. Other than that, it's your decision, so get what you like, make time to practice, have fun, and for your sanity, don't get too bogged down with Internet information overload.

Aguila High Velocity 38 gr HP. My Savage MKII will shoot anything, but this is accurate and burns clean in my other .22 semi rifle and pistol.

Then go for that one. As long as it's not a duty or carry weapon, it's perfectly OK to factor looks into your choice. If you buy a gun that you don't like, it will be 100% unreliable because it'll sit in your safe and you'll never use it.

You get mixed answers because there's no correct answer - carry the paperwork or don't. Choose your own adventure.

Do you prefer a Mark II or a Mark III? Having shot both, either. Do you prefer the 22/45 over the standard? Personally, I like the 22/45 grip. That doesn't make it "better." What about barrel style and barrel length, which do you prefer and why? 5 inch bull - for accuracy. The slab sides and fluted ones are pretty nice. What options are available for upgrading, especially in terms of the stock sights? What do ya got? Do you have a scope mounted on your pistol? Not today. Ask me next week. Does it share any parts with the Ruger 10/22... extractor, etc? I don't think so but don't quote me.

The game sucks. It's made by a media marketing group called "Starving Eyes Viral Advergaming." That name should tell you everything. They are a small marketing group trying to get you to get "offended" and "outraged" so they can boost their own brand. With marketing people, liberal or conservative has nothing to do with it - we're all equal sheep. Don't be fooled and don't let yourself be so easily manipulated. Just my opinion.

I don't know - America in ten years?

You might leave New Jersey one day and move to a state where registration is not voluntary - just a thought.

Congratulations! Also make sure you buy whatever you want before the baby comes. After that, good luck justifying *another* gun purchase.

No worries; I'd guess about 70% of Ruger owners make this mistake the first time, and the other 30% lie about it.

If the SHTF, I'm confident in my ability to knock down hundreds of clay pigeons. That's the extent of my knowledge and training. Keeping with the original post, in the fantasy world of Mad Max, a single caliber for pistol and carbine makes sense.

I think I'm going to try both approaches on two aluminum and two steel magazines and see which ones work best. I could probably braze a something to the follower, then mark them "NJ Compliant" somehow, even if it's just with a sharpie, so the range officer doesn't see full-size mags and assume they're illegal. With cutting, I'm not sure if the spring in the shorter length would cause feeding issues - don't think so (it'd be just like those rounds were s till in the magazine) but I'd want to see it in action first. I have access to a decent shop, so that'll be a fun project next time I visit my folks... I'm not trying to do anything cute and skirt the law - will definitely make a good faith effort to make the mods permanent. The steel ones are like $2 at CTD, and the aluminum ones are only $0.97. I think I'll ask my dad order for ten of each and see what happens. Thanks for the input - I appreciate it.

And yes, I know HK91s are banned in NJ - would be for an NJ complaint PTR.

I have a bunch (30+) at my parent’s house out of state. Does anyone know of a way to modify them to make them NJ compliant? For example, a bolt that sticks out of the floor plate or a new follower? Finally, if I have that part machined (which reduces the magazine capacity to the NJ legal 15 rounds) and perform those modifications out-of-state, they're legal in NJ and I can bring them in - is my understanding correct? Might be over thinking this one, but I hate them just sitting there... Thanks always for the advice.

The trailer sold me. Though I'm going to wait a month and get it after the initial price drop. Haven't had a good zombie game since L4D2.

This is a fun game; FWIW I'd go lever action .357 and S&W 686. Same calibers, no magazines and both reliable with minimal maintenance. Having a rifle-pistol use a single cartridge would be a huge advantage. Possible also for Beretta 92 & CX4. Of course, an AR-pistol and carbine would be nice, since it's Mad Max apocalyptic wasteland and all. For for magazines, realistically, how many magazines can you carry? And in a fight, would you be able to stop and pick them up? Unless you have a steady supply or a huge stash, that might become a liability.

Serious beer fans in North Jersey - stop in to the Super buy Rite in Jersey City. Something like 1,000 kinds of beer; an amazing selection. I've been spoiled. I've been liking IPAs this summer... Dog Fish Head is king of IPAs, but Lagunitas makes a pretty good one too.

GRIZ FTW. Thread closed.

Why is Caso's a rip?

German Shepherd > Gun Get a rescued shepherd, if you can. They will follow you to the ends of the earth.

First rule of government procurement: "Why buy one when you can get two at three times the price?" The politics behind the choice will be interesting for certain; it might even be our generation's "7.62 vs. 5.56."

Midway USA also sells handgun 10" and 15" zip pouches for $5.00. Just throw your guns in any existing bag. I have three; they're great.

I knew it - the cleaning thing Understand though - some people swear by Glocks while I've tried and just don't get them. Personally I like taking apart the MKIII, but I also enjoy the agony of working on impossible PITA mechanical things, like restoring old cars. Anyway, if you and your daughter already shoot, sounds like you're ahead of the game. Good luck and I'd like to know what you end up with.

I think a Ruger MKII or MKIII or a quality .22 revolver is the perfect choice, for the reasons everyone else more eloquently stated. Since I know you said you want to stay away from a .22; I was curious which one did you get rid of, and why? FWIW, my wife loves MY Ruger. I can't tell you how it is; I never get to shoot it when we're at the range...

Thank you! I can’t tell you how glad I am to hear other shooters call out this kind of Hollywood garbage. If ADE were advertising those videos like Wushu (as in, these are exhibitions of skill inspired by combat but intended as performance art) I’d have a lot more respect. I don’t think that’s the case.
