Maybe you skipped over my replies and missed it it in the fine print so here it is again and as for bad mouthing ... I only used weapons world before this which is sans FID so I missed the FID thing on their site And yes, they would have been quite able to take the overall outraged tone that some people here have taken and cut and paste their disclaimer and I would have never used them again That's the beauty of capitalism. P.S. I would alter the sub comment in the header of this thread to removed the "pissed me off" but edit does not allow me to do it.

See above post, make sure you and Wolfy bring in a 3rd guy if you plan on starting an ammo business

Nowhere in my previous posting did I mention it was difficult to order ammo and if you were hunting for the FID line, its not that difficult to find. I said it was easy to miss and if you do, it does not show up anywhere else The above I take issue with, Only an idiot would believe I ordered from PSA in the hopes I could scam something for free. Were you the brains running PSA, they would have one less customer instead of one more in case, you still do not get it, my point was with the 10 day delay to inform me they needed my fid not with requiring me to check a box P.S. Never noticed the +/- before, will have to figure out how its going to change my place in the world

Ammo arrived Wednesday with an extra box of 357 magnum thrown in. So shipping was quick considering , I faxed my FID late Monday afternoon. Overall, I will say I will use them again esp as they did something to make it right and I will not be caught out again by the FID. P.S. they use foam peanuts for packing which get crushed to bits and then its drives you crazy as with the static they stick to everything

TO one and all, Part of the reason this forum exists is so people can meet up, shoot and get to know each other. As it seems there have been quite a few new members in the Bergen region, I propose we have a meet up to do some shooting. I would propose going to the bullethole at 12:15am this coming Sunday 6th Nov. as its usually quiet first thing Sunday. Note : non-Bergenites feel free to come along, I just think proximity is 80% of the battle with anony meetups Anyone in ?

No concealed requirement, just looking for options on an all round comfortable holster to carry a 686 6inch long pistol around in. Something servicable, does not need to be elaborate. If cowboy is a comfortable and servicable holster then I will wear it with my cowboy hat

I am really digging my 686 revolver and now want to get a holster and I guess a speed loader pouch. Anyone else using a holster for one of these longer guns ?

I maintain its easy to miss and should be listed as a reminder on the receipt. As an update, they did ring me up after they received my fax and offered me a free box of ammo as recompense and an apology for the delay. That goes a long way towards having a repeat customer than pointing to the fine print and saying , legally speaking, its your bad.

unfortunately, It was pistol ammo. Harry, Its there if you know to look for it, its easy to miss and if you do, start twiddling your thumbs and wondering why its taking so long for your order to show up

I ordered a bunch of ammo from palmetto state armoury on 10/21. I was looking for it to show up last week but nothing so I had to buy ammo at the range this weekend. Today - 10 DAYS later, I receive an email saying they still have not received my FOID. What freaking FOID, check my confirmation receipt email - nothing about getting an fid to them. NO fax number listed either... Called them up and they explained, IF I hunt around on their "verification page", its listed at the bottom. Tell them there's no fax number listed, ahh.....but if I go looking at their contacts page, its there. What a fricking lousy experience .. 10 days waiting around in totally unacceptable -1

By popular demand, here's the photo's As luck would have it, My free beretta holster+mag holder showed up today so I have included a few pics of it too. Having a wife who's a professional photographer has its perks .... she took the pics..see caption on last photo

I will take the above as a hint to post pics Any thread on how to resize pics for this forum so they are not huge ?

SO finally Sunday, I got my low profile kit installed on my PX4. What with waiting on BUSA to get them in stock and then waiting to install them(needed a roll pin punch), its been nearly 2 months. I took a friend of mine to the range Sunday, hes been into hunting since forever but never shot handguns. When shooting my PX4, he was grabbing the decocker lugs to rack the slide - bad habit to start but i see how it can happen. However, now that is in the past and that thing is slick and sweet, just grab , rack back until you slip off of it. No more dodging the meathooks. Big ups to Rob & Jimmy from GunForHire, who swapped the kit in free gratis after they took pity on me shooting it at the range. As a bonus, I finally go to put 357 mag loads in my 686, NICE....been only able to get my hands on 38 specials up to now.

I will gladly take you up on that offer, Bullethole is nearby so any weekend I should be able to tag along. I will be there today Sunday around 2pm I am getting the wife into shooting too and she's liking the look of the CX4 too

SO all in all, looks like CX4 is not a Northern NJ favorite but plenty popular down south. Upshot is, I wont get to try it before I buy it but all the feedback seems pretty positive on this. Thanks to wolfy & medic3166 for the offer, would love to take you guys up on the offer But do not have the hours necessary to get down south. As a matter of interest what cost is associated with & where do you get the A) Stainless steel guide rod B) "Sierra Papa" trigger mod. Do either require a gunsmith ?

This is looking like its next on my shopping list however I would really like to try shooting it before I plonk down the cash. Does anyone with a CX4 in 9mm/whatever go to the bullethole/G&S/Bayonne and also be willing to let me try it ? I know the standard advice is go to shoreshot but its nigh on impossible for me to abscond for half the day to do it.

I tried it when looking for my first firearm(PX4-G) but got not a single reply. When i was looking for a second firearm (pre-lock S&W 686), it never crossed my mind to use it probably due to the lack of responses to my first query

Oct. 4 -- Washington, D.C.’s ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines doesn’t violate the constitutional rights of residents in the U.S. capital, a federal appeals court ruled. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington today also upheld registration requirements for handguns put in place after a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2008 ended the city’s almost total ban on firearms. The three-judge panel ordered a lower court to further review other aspects of Washington’s gun control law, such as its limits on multiple purchases. “The District has carried its burden of showing a substantial relationship between the prohibition of both semi-automatic rifles and magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and the objectives of protecting police officers and controlling crime,” Judge Douglas Ginsburg wrote in the 2-1 ruling. The challenge to the restrictions was brought by Dick Heller, the plaintiff in the 2008 Supreme Court case , who argued that the District of Columbia’s gun laws are so burdensome as to violate the Constitution’s right to bear arms. The rules are inconsistent with high court rulings, including Heller’s earlier case, he said in court papers. Fingerprinted and Photographed Under the statute, residents who want to keep guns at home must be fingerprinted and photographed by the police, provide a work history and describe their intended use of the weapon. Firearms have to be registered every three years. Guns defined by the city as assault weapons are banned. Judge Brett Kavanaugh dissented, saying he would have thrown out the ban on assault weapons and the registration requirements. “This case concerns semi-automatic rifles,” Kavanaugh wrote. “It would strain logic and common sense to conclude that the Second Amendment protects semi-automatic handguns but does not protect semi-automatic rifles.” Ginsburg said the court only looked at semi-automatic rifles qualifying as an assault weapon under the law because Heller and the other plaintiffs didn’t attempt to register a semi-automatic pistol or shotgun. Heller’s lawyer, Stephen Halbrook, told the three-judge panel during arguments in November that district’s gun regulations are “the most radically restrictive” in the country. Halbrook didn’t immediately respond to a telephone message seeking comment on today’s ruling. Work History Washington also requires residents who want to keep a gun at home to provide a five-year work history and state their intended use of the weapon. Applicants must allow police to run ballistic tests on each gun they register. Magazines that hold more than 10 bullets are banned. The solicitor general for the District of Columbia, Todd Kim, said during oral argument that the city has the authority to keep tabs on who owns guns within its borders and to keep out certain types of weapons. Kim had no immediate comment on the ruling. The appeal panel approved what it called basic requirements for handguns, such as providing the city with name, age, occupation, date of sale and residence. Ginsburg said any registration requirements related to “long guns” and “novel” requirements for handguns, such as those requiring re-registration of handguns every three years and requiring the gun owner be fingerprinted and photographed, were sent back to the lower court judge for additional review. Heller filed the current challenge in July 2008, just 12 days after Washington lawmakers passed emergency legislation to comply with the high court ruling in his earlier case. A federal trial judge dismissed the new case in March 2010 after finding that the city’s regulations were an appropriate balance between public safety and an individual’s right to own a gun. The case is Heller v. District of Columbia, 10-07036, U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. Circuit (Washington).

Well, Ended up getting a pre-lock Smith & Wesson Model 686-3 Distinguished Combat Magnum 6-shot revolver in .357 Mag /.38 S&W Spl.+P caliber. Due to OGAM, I will not be able to pick it up until Oct 4th so i just have to put it out of my mind until then. Now i have to start looking for good deals on ammo , speed loaders and whatever other paraphernalia a revolver should have

I am looking at 357 mag / 38 special revolver handguns. What would the major considerations be when judging by brand ? How would bang for the buck compare with Colt S&W Taurus How much difference does porting make ? Is it a highly desired feature ? Enquiring minds want to know.

So I go to the bullethole Sunday ( I know I know but its 5 mins away ) and an RO comes over with his magnet and shows me the tip of the bullet sticking to the magnet and says it has a steel core and so i cannot shoot it because of the backstop. Then points to the sign on the side of the booths listing the proscribed ammo and lo and behold RWS has now being add onto the list. Well i still got 500 rds of RWS and I do not see me flushing it down a toilet so I guess its a road trip to G&S or Bayonne next time.

You reckon I would get that from the place I bought it or the FFL I used for the transfer ?

I have a problem where the beretta form wants a copy of form ATF 4473. However looking through my paper work I have a copy of the pistol permit & coe plus receipt , no form ATF4473 What to do to get my free holster ? Maybe contact Bruce at lincoln true value hardware, see if he can fax me a copy ?

Beretta USA just got the Low Profile levers in Stock. Low Profile Levers They are'nt cheap but I ordered them as they should eliminate the one grief spot I have with the Beretta meathooks, I mean, regular huge decocker

Yea, $369 + $20 shipping is a stonking good deal for a PX4, I specfically wanted a type G over a type F and no one in NJ seemed to have type G's. I have put about 250 rounds through my PX4 in 2 trips to the bullethole and really like the feel of it even weak hand firing is not a problem. I swapped out the medium backstrap for the larger size and will put a hogue hand all slip on grip soon. Need to fill out the form for my free holster and start looking to pick up a second gun. I am torn between a S&W 586/686 or going the route of a CX4 in 9mm(Same PA dealer has a great deal though they are 17 round mags )
