Don't need one of these safes, but it might be a good deal for someone with kids.

Get a 30SF.

I like the older Ruger Sixes the best, especially the Speed Six. It is just as beefy as a GP100, but it is somewhere between the GP100 and SP101 in size. Hands down, it would be my favorite revolver if the sights were changeable.

You would have to define "favorite". If I could only carry one concealed, it would probably be a Glock 19. A Magnum Research Baby Eagle compact in polymer, a Ruger Speed Six, SP101, or Ruger LCR would all be contenders, though. If I could have only own one handgun, it would probably be a Glock 19, or a Baby Eagle semi-compact in steel. Favorite for SHTF... Glock 23 w/ 22 conversion kit and 9mm conversion barrel. Favorite Revolver: Ruger Speed Six (If only they resurrected it with interchangeable sights) Favorite rimfire: Colt Woodsman Second Issue (my uncle better be good to me) Favorite rimfire for SHTF: Ruger SP101 8-shot revolver or Ruger Mark II Target stainless Best Ergonomics: MRI Baby Eagle II semi-compact, P08 Luger, Browning Hi-Power, or CZ75B Honorable mentions: FNH FNX-9 SIG 229 Most anticipated... I want to get my hands on an FNH FNS-9 when they are available. But FNH won't do the right thing with the mag size. Most desired (if it existed) ... probably a S&W 686 or GP100 w/ 9mm and .38/.357 conversion cylinders with Crimson Trace laser grip and front night sight blade and setup to be used with full moon clips for either 9mm or .357/.38. May not be perfectly accurate in 9mm just as the Blackhawks are not, but would be more than accurate enough for me.

Hopefully, the old man has some more .45s laying around.

Why wouldn't they open this up online for people to purchase chances? By the way, go and sign up for the HGTV Dream House. If you win, you might be near the next Shot Show so you can go yourself.

Personally, I would avoid Liberty Mutual. My wife forgot to pay the premium until the last minute. The day before it was due, they would not accept payment over the phone either via credit card/check. Even though, it seems to me that they would accept payment for certain policies/states via that method. I went to their local office to make payment and they refused payment as well. They told me that it had to be sent to their office in New England. Again, they could take payment, but not for my policy, as I purchased it online and not through their office. So, basically, the car insurance lapsed and we could not drive for the week that it took them to reinstate it, and because it had lapsed we could not go out immediately and get some other insurance because they would have deemed that as a break in coverage. So, rented a car and used the rental insurance for a week and dropped them as soon as it was reinstated and went with GEICO and have not had any problems, rate increases, etc. since getting them. And, GEICO is very easy to make payments automatically, etc. My biggest problem is getting the cards put in the cars every six months when they come in.

How does it work with all sorts of Ammo, including cheap practice Ammo?

As other posters suggest, I agree that you really are lacking a revolver in .357/.38. I'd look for an older Speed Six to fit that bill. But since you mentioned Charter Arms, and a revolver, and you already have the Beretta and PX4?, I would look at the Charter Arms 9mm revolver that is suppose to be released in February of this year that will not need moon clips(if your permit can go that long). Alternatively, you cannot go wrong with a .22 revolver. Besides the Charter Arms Pathfinder (with the dual cylinders in .22LR and .22WMR), I would consider the Taurus 992 w/ the dual cylinders. Or, I would consider a Ruger SP101 8-shot and upgrade the grip for a little more purchase. Since you primarily want something for fun at the range, I would even consider a Single Action Revolver Single Six OR Blackhawk in either .357/.38 or .45 ACP/.45 Colt. This would be a little outside of the norm. You might even be able to find the .357/.38 w/ the additional 9mm cylinder version. Lastly, since you have a couple of .22s, you might want to try and locate an older Target Model Ruger Mark II in .22LR.

Yes, this is all a game of chess and the pawns better start standing up for themselves.

I say, one if by land, two if by sea!

Play their game. Go back to your police department and tell them that you lost your original FID card that they issued and that you need a duplicate. If they gave you a Pistol Permit without giving you the card, then call them on it and make a big fuss. Was the box on your application checked for you to receive one? Whatever the outcome, I would apply for an FID card, again, and get it. And, while you are at it, if you have to spend the money on another background check, then I would apply for some more pistol permits. You can apply for more than one in most of the more democratic NJ districts.

I hope the undocumented armed robber doesn't run across the NJ/NY border in making his escape. I think that is a felony and has real jail time.

It appears that it does not have a key entry. If so, I probably would not want it.

I like the caveman, too.

I would love to try one of the new compact or semi-compact Baby Eagle IIs in steel, although if I do, I think I might need to get one. Maxsim, do you know if the compact models will take the full size CZ75 magazines?

I cannot stand the commercial where the family is at a show and the mother and father have no clue where their son is. He is found to be on the stage playing the piano and the musician comes out and encourages him. As a parent it just bothers me that they don't know where there toddler is.

I like what you have said, however, Ron Paul is NOT the answer. I'm not sure where that answer is, but its not him and its not Romney, Bush, Bush, Obama, Clinton, Reid, Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, McCain... We need real leaders and there aren't any. There are principled people, but they are shot down by the main stream government media.

You can always shoot the G26/G27 (or a G17 in another state) w/ a 19, or 22, 23 magazine in it to give you a little more purchase. With a G22 magazine, that would be 15 rounds of .40 S&W if you go with the G27.

Thanks, Harry. If you do it, please give me a heads up with the part you got, etc..

For strictly home defense, you might want to consider a 20 gauge such as an Ithaca 37 if you can find one at a good price, or the Mossberg SA-20. However, you will still need a 12 gauge pump or two. I like the tang safety on the Mossberg. I cannot remember if you have to cycle the Ithaca to clear the rounds, though. I like that the Ithaca ejects to the bottom... good gun for lefty. The 870, well a real 870 has a fabulously smooth action, but so does an older Ithaca. I also like the older Stevens Model 67 varieties, they are heavy and built like a tank.

Is there any difference between the Henry version and an older AR-7?

I know that some of you have replaced yours. I hate the stock sights on this gun. I am considering a Dawson precision fiber optic front and having adjustable rear Novak put on it, although I have been told that the rear sight will need to be filed/fitted. Does anybody have any advice, or who can recommend a gunsmith in Northwestern NJ to do this for me and get them lined up and at the correct height... to make them work. Currently, I use the medium, plastic front sight that comes with it. I want to install standard 1911 sights of my choice.
