Correct, it's a JR carbine (http://www.justrightcarbines.com) and not an AR 9mm upper. You can tell by the cocking mechanism on the side vs the rear on a traditional AR.

IF this crazy bill goes through (without grandfathering), what do they expect us to do with our mags and guns? Some people have a lot of money invested in their gun collection.

The polymer bullets were about 1-2" low @ 20yards. My POA is at the top of the front sight, I had to change my POA to the FO to get similar POI. I tried the polymer bullets in two different guns/calibers and have similar results. 180gr out of my M&P40 Pro w/ KKM barrel and 124gr out of my 5" 1911 Spartan 9mm. I just ordered a short front sight for my M&P and I my Spartan has adjustable rears, so I should be ok. I just wanted to know if my results were typical when comparing FMJ to Lead/Moly/Poly bullets. Also, I went from 5.0gr N320 (170pf) to 4.35gr N320 (174 pf) when changing from Zero FMJ to the polymer bullets. 4.0gr N320 was right around 166pf. I'll probably end up around 4.2gr to target 170pf.

Generally speaking, how would load affect POI? Hotter load = higher POI?

Yes and Ye Yes and Yes.

I have the Sentry quick access pistol safe. Can get it at costco for $89. It's nice and compact compared to the others mentioned. Perfect for securing a handgun and couple of mags.

I usually shoot FMJ/CMJ bullets and have recently picked up some polymer coated bullets to try out. I had to drop the powder charges down a bit to get the same PF. However, at the same PF, I noticed that the POI of the polymer coated bullets were lower than the jacketd bullets. Is this normal? I have fixed sights on my M&P and it seems that I have to get a shorter front sight if I want to keep using the polymer bullets with the same POA/POI that I'm used to from jacketed bullets.

Is it legal to hunt using a red dot sight with slugs? I was thinking of something like the Burris SpeedBead.

I've seen BB pistols in various Walmarts down south that don't you don't load with magazines. Rather, you load through the side of the pistol and the BB's are stored inside the slide. If it could hold more than 15 BB's, would that be considered illegal in NJ? Or is that fine as it doens't have a detachable magazine?

Thanks Chris. I'll check them out.

Let's assume that a safe way to search/move with a loaded weapon is pointing it towards the floor within a certain radius around you (say 5' or so). Do you think pointing a flashlight as such would give enough spread/flood light to see a person's face across a room or end of a hallway? I guess it also depends on the amount of lumens and spread pattern of the flashlight, but generally speaking. I would think that most people, in the heat of the moment, would point the light directly at what they are looking to see (e.g. footsteps behind you) by instinct.

Good point. Violates the "don't point the muzzle at anything you're not willing to destroy" rule. That said, I still have a rail mounted light on my HD pistol.

Hi, Looking for a recommendation for a shop that can mill lightening cuts into a slide. Mike

Sorry I missed it. Looked like a lot of fun. What time did you guys finish up?

Making CR fit for USPSA/IDPA type shooting will cost time and money. The fact of the matter is that CR doesn't need to do anything (unless they want to) as they've got tons of members and growing. Membership Sunday's are packed. I don't think there's a strong enough voice championing USPSA/IDPA type shooting on the board to really promote action. I recently let my membership expire as I realized I wasn't getting what I wanted out of the range (e.g. USPSA practice). Hopefully, they will look to update the range to accomodate different types of shooting.

that's one of the coolest videos I've seen. I wish I would have started that young.

Around what time does this normally finish? I gotta be back home mid-afternoonish. I normally stick around to help tear-down, but I can come early to help setup.

Can you shoot multiple guns (e.g. two pistols or rifle/pistol)?

Any feedback on the Ruger American? Seems to have good reviews and a $300-350 price tag.

I have a 9mm CX4 as well. Very accurate, compact and soft shooting. One gripe I have is that it's a bit difficult to hit the mag release without adjusting my grip due to the bar that connects the grip to the stock. Wish there was a extened mag relase for it. Also, how much better does the SP trigger kit make it? It's a bit steep at ~$175. Is it really worth it?

Hi. I'm looking to install a security camera system for my home and would appreciate some recommendations and what to watch out for/avoid. I would need something that can handle the following: 1) DVR with at least 6-8 channels 2) Outdoor Cameras: mostly wired, maybe 1-2 wireless for areas I can't wire. - Most will be mounted on/around roof eave 2-3 stories high. - Need IR/Night Vision appropriate for the installed height - Color (except for night where it's only B/W, correct?) 3) Can connect to internet to view cameras throught remote pc or smartphone. 4) Can be hooked up to TV 5) DIY preferred. What would be the min lines of resolution and IR for the cameras. I don't want a grainy picture or too dark at night. Not looking for an expensive top of the line system but not a cheap POS either. More of a good bang for the buck system. Thanks, Mike

Welcome. It's rough for us Bergen county folks...no good places to shoot without driving an hour. That said, you can meet a lot of forum members at one of the Old Bridge or Central Jersey matches.

What upgrades do you think are needed to make it a good/accurate shooter?

How accurate is the GSG 1911? Better, worse or on par with say a ruger buckmark or mk3?

I got some mags from rrages a while back. It looks like he just takes the standard 25rd mags, drills a hole and inserts a pin at the appropriate location so the follower stops after loading 15 rounds and then fills the hole with epoxy. Very easy to do...but can't have the 25 rounders in NJ. Also, you can't drill the pin hole all the way through both sides of the mag. It must only be on one side so you cannot 'push' out the pin.
