The FNP series magazines are different from the FNX magazines. The FNX magazines are interchangeable with the FNS magazines in the .40 S&W caliber only. FNX-9 and FNS-9 magazines are not interchangeable. And FNP magazines are not interchangeable either. So, the FNS-40 and FNX-40 share the same magazines and are usable in NJ. There were no 10-round magazines made for the FNX-9, although the FNP-9s were available with them. Additionally, there was an FNP-9 Compact which I think had 15-round magazines for it. If you are interested in an FNP-9, look for a USG model that can be used cocked and locked. I would have bought an FNX-9, if it had come in NJ usable magazines, and if the magazines would have been interchangeable with the FNS-9. I would still buy an FNP-9 USG, or the compact version which I don't think was made in the USG configuration, if one could be had at a good price. Supposedly, the FNS-9 will 10-rounders available, eventually, but probably not when first released. There is also talk about an FNS-9 Compact being released which might be really nice and might have magazines usable in NJ. I want an FNS-40 and an FNS-9 Compact. The compact will have about a 3.6" barrel length and have a 12-round magazine. I would also like to get an FNX-40 to complement it (and because I like hammer-fired guns).

Well, this anti-constitutional wealthy clown has to do the job that our spend-thrift czar-in-chief won't do. And. of course since he is a big Progressive, he will use the anti-liberty tools and methods of the Left. We should all join Citizens Against Politician Usurpers

Has anybody seen or played with one of these: http://www.mkschiappa.com/MKS_Chiappa_semiautomatics/Chiappa_M9-22.html

I have decided to take your advice and move in another direction. Thanks, everyone.

The cylinder is not in hand, yet.

You should see which one has the upradeable front sight and get that one. I am not sure the M9A1 has that feature, but I think the 92A1 does.

I can order them online for a Mark II, but has anybody seen, or does anybody know of a local dealer that might have them in stock in Northern NJ?

But it could be done for not too much expense? Is there any way to set it up for both cylinder assemblies to be able to work?

You can also pickup plastic ammo boxes. There were ones at Walmart last fall that were about $10.00 each. Really nice for bringing ammo to the range.

Please assist with a double action revolver question. Is the timing altered on the cylinder assembly or in the revolver itself? Can a cylinder assembly be swapped out of one revolver and put into another revolver of the same type? Are the tolerances somewhat similar that it should just be able to drop in? If it is not the cylinder assembly that is modified, but rather the gun itself that is altered, can a gunsmith do this and would it be a relatively easy procedure for a gunsmith? Additionally, if it is the gun itself that is to be altered, then I assume that the original cylinder assembly that came with that revolver will no longer work without the timing on the revolver being switched back to that cylinder assembly. If you have knowledge on this specifically pertaining to a Ruger double action revolver then please advise. I would like to be able to use a 9mm cylinder assembly that came out of a 9mm Ruger SP101 in a Ruger SP101 calibered for .357 Magnum. Although, I would like to be able to easily switch between the two cylinder assemblies, I am not that concerned if I cannot easily switch back to the original .357/.38 caliber once the gun is setup for 9mm cylinder, as I would like to shoot the 9mm caliber through it. However, it would be nice to use both cylinder assemblies interchangeably. Lastly, if it can be done, please recommend a local northern NJ gunsmith that might be able to help me with this, as I doubt Ruger could or would assist.

I know many FFLs that would not sell a gun on the 31, but would rather insist on the 1st of the next month. As always, it is best to be cautious. This is a federal issue and not a state issue, but it illustrates the need for caution. I was just at a local dealer and the BATF had done its annual review of paperwork and someone who had purchased a handgun had missed a question on the form and the dealer had called him and told him that he had to come down and complete the form and initialize the question, or the BATF would be paying him a visit. Even though the dealer had missed this on the paperwork during the sale, the buyer was inevitably responsible. Caution should be exercised, especially in this state and its views that are anti-liberty.

I would agree, but there is still a problem in Hollywood Ameritopia.

Fudgin Anti-American Dirtbags that my taxes support.

I will not support any actors or entertainment people that outwardly profess a political ideology different from my own. If they have those beliefs so be it, but they should be kept from my radar.

It is interesting the way many of the Hollywood elite act because it helps to illustrate at varying levels the types of people that become anti-gun, and essentially anti-liberty. The first major reason for being anti-gun I would characterize as the person being unfamiliar with, or having had a prior negative experience with guns. It is pretty much self-explanatory in that people fear what they don't understand. I would imagine that most of the anti-gun Hollywood elite have had little experience with guns. But that learning curve can be overcome, so there are still many factors in creating the anti-gun Hollywood elite such as the top-down pressure of the industry and the company that these people keep. Just as in with many schools and colleges, and with the media, you have to be left-leaning to get work because those in positions of hiring and providing opportunities are placed there over other qualified people by those that would have an agenda. Just as in other highly Left-leaning professions, the acting profession both attracts and fosters this kind of belief by rewarding those that share the Left view. That coupled with the fact that these people hang out mostly with their own ilk, a left-leaning,anti-gun people, and that they periodically have to deal with dangerous stalkers, etc. and that would pretty much help to develop their anti-gun frame of mind. These actors are spoiled beyond belief and they essentially know that they are not able to control themselves with things like illegal substance intake, alcohol, or just whatever craving they have at the moment. So, they believe that the rest of the humans on this planet, who don't have unlimited funds to do what they want, that those people are also ruled by the uncontrollable id and mostly out-of-control and need to be looked after. And those feelings even manifest further in many of them have some sort of self-loathing and low self-esteem because they cannot believe that they get paid what many of them do for the work that they do. That lowers their self-worth and again perpetuates an out-of-control and self-destructive frame of mind which further leads them to being anti-gun. You will find that just about any Left-leaning individual will also be anti-gun, while not many conservative people would be that way unless they just have not had experiences with guns. You can educate the conservative-minded people, but it is very had to change the view of the Left toward guns, because much of it comes from a psychosis that they experience and an all-and-all unhappiness toward their circumstances. For some reason, it is extremely hard to convince someone that nobody owes them anything, that life isn't fair, and that they are responsible for their own actions, and largely their own predicament. If you can accomplish that, you can turn someone toward supporting our bill of rights, private property and the right to self-defense. Hollywood helps to keep these people out of the real world and seeks to perpetuate in them the belief that they are pretty much adolescents that need the beneficent big brother to look after them.

I think it would mainly depend on the rifling twist of the barrel and possibly the barrel length.

Certainly a little touched to be sure. She was probably off her meds and in a hurry on the way to the pharmacy to get them. I wonder if she feels that automobiles should be banned as well. I have come to the conclusion that many people that are against guns know that they personally are not responsible people, or they realize that they lack the self control and mental capacity to be responsible for owning them. Because they are not capable human beings of owning firearms, they assume everyone has the baggage, unbalanced neurotransmitter levels, etc. that would make them dangerous if guns were owned. I firmly believe that anyone that declares that guns should be banned should not be allowed to own a gun because he or she is personally unfit in some way.

I got a Ruger revolver from Ramsey Outdoors at a very good price.

It's a good thing that the NRA is creating more jobs to handle all of these renewals, calls,etc. than the clowns down in Washington in order to help our economy. +1 for the NRA - 1 for Washington

If only the grip was a little smaller. Very nice.

If the firearms ID card matches your address on your license and your NICS check can be completed, then you shouldn't have any problems. Some times NICS is down, busy, etc., and at at least one gun shop I have been to, the NICS callback is the same number as the shop. So, if NICS is busy and has to call the shop back and the shop's phone is busy, the sky is the limit in time. If I recall there is a 24 hour time limit or something like that, and if NICS doesn't get back the sale can be completed. Also, some shops may be open at hours/days when NICS is not available, such as holidays or say after 8:00 PM at night. If you want to buy a gun right before closing time, there might not be enough time to complete the NICS check.

I added it just for you. However, I think that the SR9C makes a little more sense for carry. It has a shorter barrel and can still have your pinky resting safely. The SR9 seems a little too big, but if it could be concealed would be quite nice.

Ruger has awesome quality and has a lot of choices for concealed carry. If you have made the choice, or if you have experience with any of the those in the list, please sound off.

Thanks for the info. However, it looks like a peacock to me, and generally I prefer Bald Eagles over the two. I still like the stock Target sights better than the Hunter sights. Maybe someday I will revolve.
