Welcome.

I think you can get a 5-shot Ruger SP101 or a 3" LCR/LCRx in 9mm as well. The SP101 would need new grips.

That is Awesome! Can't post this enough! FUDDs be damned.

Czech-made should be some nice quality. Waiting for you review!

Easy and quick to reload and half the price of 38s to shoot. For someone that enjoys revolvers it is a Win/Win. And, it allows for Ammo consolidation. Still, there is NOTHING wrong with a S&W Model 625 or older flavor, and anyone with 1911s would be remiss without a revolver in .45 ACP. Additionally, no collection would be complete without at least one variety of .357 double-action revolver. But, a 9mm is quite sweet! "That's a nice plastic fantastic, but I got a wheel gun!" - Elmer Fudd

That would be pretty cool and good enough for combat accuracy, however, the 9mm accuracy would suffer slightly, just as with the Ruger Blackhawk dual cylinder version.

Maybe releasing pythons will help?

On the flip side, can be loaded quickly. I would imagine that it wouldn't need a moon clip, but the shells would have to be knocked out individually. Not quite as forceful as a .357, but more recoil than a semi-auto. My favorite rendition is the Ruger Speed Six in 9mm. These can sometimes be found on Gunbroker.

This is a pretty sweet Czech-made revolver...

It should be hammer-fired if it is an EZ version and it probably has a very nice trigger. Not sure if I could get past the grip safety, though, but there will certainly be a niche for this, especially older people and people lacking strength to rack the slide. I would certainly like to try one at a range, though, and might get it over the standard Shield. 4"? And, can put a light, etc... I'd have to say I like it. Christmas for the wife? Let's see what Julie has to say... And... Rock Island's new Czech-made 9mm revolver looks pretty interesting, too.

I would say the best "value" in a handgun for someone on a budget would be the S&W M&P 2.0 Compact. It IS the Glock alternative with better ergonomics and iron sights and a decent trigger. The Beretta 92 is a fine gun, but would be more suitable for big hands and the slide safety, not my favorite.... For a first and second handgun, I would probably stick with two that have the same action. If you go the Glock route the 17 would be a fine choice, but as pointed out, many prefer the Glock 19 size (which is the same as the M&P 2.0 Compact) and would still be plenty viable as a home-defense handgun and the additional mag size of the 17 cannot be utilized in NJ, anyway. A full-size M&P 2.0 might be nice, too, with a 4.2" barrel, but I would prefer a 2.0 Compact. As PB pointed out, a 9mm revolver might be an interesting second choice if you want a different action (and because 9mm is a lot cheaper than alternatives). Perhaps my favorite is the venerable Ruger Speed Six in 9mm for a revolver. I am not familiar with newer SIG semi-autos, but I prefer the lower bore axis on the Glocks and M&Ps than older examples I have handled of that well-made brand. A 229 is a nice gun. A CZ in any flavor would be a fine gun, but a Glock for parts practicality, home gunsmithing, etc. just makes more sense. And, the alternate striker from S&W (an American company) has a lot of aftermarket accessories, too. Since you are limited to 10 rounds in the Republik, you may at least want to checkout a Glock 47 (thin Glock 19) and an M&P 2.0 Shield might be interesting. The sky is the limit and caliber choice should be considered as well. For me, 9mm makes the most sense. Everyone is giving you an opinion of what they like, so I will give you mine. I would ask for 3 permits instead of 2 and pay the extra $2 and get something in .22LR besides my other two choices. I would seriously consider getting two copies of the same gun, two Glock 19s for example, or a 19 and a 17(or 26), or an M&P 2.0 9mm and a 2.0 Compact for my range and defensive pistol. My choice would be two M&P 2.0 Compacts, one with a 4" barrel and one with a 3.6" barrel. Sometimes you can get the safety version (NOT the Massachusetts Trigger) at a cheaper price. I've even found the 15-round version cheaper than the 10-round version AND buying two 10-round magazines. Even though a gunsmith could modify to 10 most vendors will not ship to NJ. Why? To me feels better in the hand and is a better value than a Glock. Use the savings to get mags, a safe, etc.. Both share the SAME magazines, win win, both have the same operation, win, win... The hinge trigger isn't my personal favorite, but it still feels better than the rough Glock one, and the nice ergonomics and grippy surface are a win. ONLY thing with M&P is it is more difficult to upgrade the sights. By the way, welcome and good luck. My choice for a 22LR would be a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 or 22/45 Lite, although any Ruger Mark II or IV would fit the bill. Or even a Mark III, but I would get some aftermarket parts to make it more like a Mark II. Grabagun is a good outlet with quick shipping, etc. Gun.deals and Gunbroker.com are good ways to find online pricing. https://grabagun.com/smith-and-wesson-mp9-m2-0-cmpct-9mm-10-1-4-fs.html https://grabagun.com/ruger-mkiv-22-45-22lr-5-5-bl-sy.html

The Korai Kitchen on Summit Ave has a nice Bangladesh Buffet and is pretty good, interesting, and quick... You must like Curry. Spice Spirit on Bergen Street is pretty good, too.

Picked up an HP Stream with a 14" screen on Black Friday for my father and he seems to love it. All he needs and it is light weight and the price was right. I actually like it and might have to get one myself.

Can only imagine the poor, socio-economic conditions that that knife was in before it decided to go on a rampage. More missionary work afoot. Thoughts and prayers go out to the victims.

Again, it is pretty much Trump and the American people against all of the Washington Statists and their walking dead horde. Trump's side has the resources and the brains. The Democrats keep poking the Grizzly Bear. Trump is not done as long as the people are behind him.

I don't recommend plain sight hiding spots, as there is always a chance that it will be "found".

Yes. I have a lot to be grateful for.

So, after making that stupid statment, has she thrown her hat in the ring?

Statement made with spiked koolaid embibed. Must be NPR audience member.

I would be careful in NJ with no discharge laws and liberal neighbors, and potential UnAmerican prosecutors and law enforcement... not worth it.

Lake County Florida is also breaking with the unconstitutional laws:

Rural Virginia away from the Leftist, Liberal Populations... hopefully this will spread across the US. Tactical Rifles Matter!

Siderman, I completely agree, except in my humble opinion it is not the RIGHT, but the mainstream Americans in general, some who have been hoodwinked, that are now finally saying NO... the centrist, law-abiding Americans, that are trying to stop the "fundamental change" of a Democratic Republic into something else. Simply put it is the Statist, Progressive, "Socialist" Leftists and RINOs and their agenda against the American People. They are not attacking Trump, they are attacking us and our Constitution (which was established and put in place to limit their power and their generated mob rule). Unless we take back the discourse and the media (and especially pertaining to our children's education) and give a little tap on the shoulders of those that have been conditioned, the globalists and their Leftist minions and their dishonest media will all continue to destroy our culture and erode our freedoms. We are not the Right, we are the reasonable, law-abiding American citizens. With all of Trump's personal faults he is able to effectively communicate this message over and over with a little tap here and a little tap there as more Americans begin to pay attention and see the treachery of the Statist-Controlled Media. Biden and the others cannot run on their tyrannical agenda. The Americans would never willingly accept it now, but that inevitable docile-ness and compliance are being cultivated as the Left runs on creating havoc, fear, scapegoats, and most importantly by dividing the American people.

In my opinion... I wonder when some on here realize that the far right has little power and in particular because they have no media coverage (and also because they are morons). The radical Left and its media on the other hand... though It is a fringe like the far Right is, it is much more dangerous because it is relentless and deceptive and has hijacked the discourse and the media largely through bullying and lies. Centrist Constitutionalists are lumped in with the loony far right to villainize them and silence them Undemocratically by the Radical Left as it incites a mob-like group think. These centrists with traditional American values are NOT radicals like the far right and the statists and those governing mainstream radical "far" leftists in power. Biden was just trying to change the subject and focus on something besides the Ukraine for obvious reasons. The whole gun control tyranny of the last year was largely to do that as well and to take eyes off of those lurking in the shadows. The Left knew it as overplaying its hand and was taking a chance, much like it did when it "allowed" media coverage for Trump over the other conservatively portrayed Republican candidates. He was meant to be left with Hilary because they underestimated that he had more negatives. Trump was never suppose to have won but the American people don't want what the Left envisions. The false Russian narrative was suppose to have been an insurance policy AND the ludicrous Impeachment debacle was suppose to have worked as well when that didn't work. It wasn't even so much as necessary to actually impeach the President unjustly, but to keep pounding the media with false and trumped-up negatives. The statists and Washington incumbants have largely exposed and overplayed their hand in a frenzied and desparate effort. Nevertheless, Biden with his foolish comments illustrates that there will never be enough for the Left... Nerf guns will be next! There cannot be anymore compromise with the radical (mainstream) Left. They need to be made as irrelevant and insignificant as the Far Right. In my opinion, the media which attempts to divide and discourage and condition, it needs to be remade, and our children need to be healed from the progressive pablum.

Schumer comes to mind when shadows are mentioned.
