One answer, Glock 19 for versatility and size. And, until recently you could have it with its standard capacity 15-round magazines instead of 10. If you want exchangeable grips you would need to get a Generation 4 or 5. Since you are not interested in concealed carry, then you would owe it to yourself to at least check out the full size Glock 17. I am not a fan of the Glock 19X which is a hybid between the two. I would have preferred a compact frame with a longer slide instead of the opposite. Your only other consideration in my mind would be the Glock 48, and since 10 rounds is now the norm in NJ that might be the way to go. It is essentially a single-stack, thinner, Glock 19. I am not a fan of the Silver slide on those, but you might be. The might be ambidextrous, not sure and they don't have the finger grips which is a plus. Unless you want the Generation 5s, I would pickup a used Glock GEN3 or GEN4 G19. The GEN5 doesn't have as much parts compatibility and in my mind has not been tested enough. But I am sure it will be just fine. Or, another possibility would be to get a Glock 23 (40 cal.) and get a 9mm conversion barrel and magazine for it. That would give you a lot of versatility. You could even pickup a 357 sig barrel for it and have 3 calibers in one gun. I don't like the standard plastic Glock sights and would definitely upgrade. You may find out that it is not the first Glock you get after getting it. You will like the break on it and the auditory sound of the reset.

Yes, tack an extra $50-$100 onto the deal w/ FFL fees and background check.

Not it it is lumped in with the Emergency Powers of the President. This is a dangerous precedent.

I am not tinfoil-hatting this or trying to minimize this, but this and the other shootings such as the CT shooting are implausible and with the time, details, etc. seem to be "staged" to push a further agenda? Those that want to infringe on our rights will stop at nothing to enact their ends. And today's special effects, etc. it is possible. Somehow "mainstream", constitutional conservatives will be linked to fascist extremists.

Wasn't he Australian? How did he get a firearm?

That is true. In NJ you are guilty until proven innocent. I know someone that brings Pistol Permits too. When driving around with the FID make sure he doesn't go on school property. I might avoid banks and such as well. And, he won't be able to purchase ammo. Whenever traveling anywhere, you should always have a geographic end place and logical, sensible time that would work.

I believe it is, I haven't seen it, yet. I was offered it new in box for $500.

Just kidding. I like it though. It is pretty sweet. I wonder how much thinner the grip is to a standard Beretta 92. The Brigadier Slide is pretty nice. This might be a good gun for my wife.

That is a funny looking CZ? I like it, though.

Does anybody have any info about this Beretta? Is it a collectable? Value?

If you say something often enough it becomes true. The only answer is to get news from as many different sources as possible and to process and filter it internally. It is a top-down problem.

I agree this would be a problem. Interesting point.

Additionally, those writing that are not writing it for a majority of us on gun forums and up on current 2nd Amendment concerns. They were writing it for those dabblers and Fudds that don't feel there is anything to worry about as no one is coming for their shotguns. Those gun owners need a little rattling.

Again, what is the point? Specific examples or in general. ANY fear is unjust. It is time to rile up the Fudds. No, the sky isn't falling, but the golf ball sized hail stones are forming up in those clouds. Do we want to wait until we are out in the middle of a field with no cover? What is the point? Are you trying to say that we gun owners and prominent 2nd Amendment voices are taking advantage of a restrictive turn of events? Are you trying to say that I shouldn't get my heart rate up as I have to get rid of my legal property which I cannot even transport legally? And, you brought up what happened in Boston. The police were NOT in hot pursuit of a suspect. They did NOT have a constitutional right to do what they did, and there seemed to be examples of excessiveness even in that excessiveness. What happened in New Orleans shouldn't have happened either. How reasonable and compromising should we be? When these outspoken leaders of the First Freedom said this stuff did they cultivate mass hysteria in the gun community. Was there rioting outside of gun shows? i am exaggerating, but I am trying to make a point. I do know that I lost property and have less options than I did around this time last year and i don't feel ANY safer in my own predicament or against thugs. And are you saying that if my son bit a cookie into the shape of an AR, that I reasonably shouldn't have any fear that a SWAT Team might show up at my house in the middle of the night and pet my German Shepherd? Or lets say a couple of State troopers. And if I get stopped for a traffic offense while going to the range, I shouldn't have to worry that a peace offer won't be a little overzealous and underinformed and let someone else sort it all out. No disrespect, but I shouldn't need you or any other attorney to assist me with living my life and wondering if my Glock 19 that I legally purchase and use lawfully is on the up and up and compliant?. Any reasonable gun owner in this State should have a reasonable fear always in the back of his mind that he or she could have problems stemming from an overzealous and tyrannical state, and as you point out we must know our rights and the law. Even with that armor, there is still plenty of jeopardy, agendas, and little common sense. The fudds need that fear. The climate could change. What if there is another mass shooting? Additionally, if all these laws are passed and they aren't enforced then why are they being passed. For example, if I am a contributor to society and in good standing and reasonably have to worry that I could be incarcerated for having GAMO pellet gun with a silencer built into the barrel and a LEO sees it on my bench because I was cleaning it when I got some chest pains and called 911, but a thug that shoots someone in the head point blank at a "church" function doesn't even get charged for gun crimes as he plea bargains it down... What can I plea bargain down? that yes, your honor, I am guilty of having a cardboard box that the hollow points were in? Are you trying to say that one doesn't cause attention to him or herself then all will be OK? Are you saying that I would be OK with my non-compliant AR or m1 carbine if I accidentally took it to the range (by the way any ATF readers I don't own these)? What if I lived in NJ and my landlord let the police in to check the border. Are you saying that a cop would not go after me like what happened to Brian Aiken given that far-fetched scenario? Oh, I get it, my chances of winning the lottery aren't that great, so I can go on living? If some prominent 2nd Amendment individual is a capitalist so be it. I didn't pay $10 a head, but I hope a few liberal democrat gun owners did. THAT ATMOSPHERE is NOT UNREAL, but hopefully as you eloquently pointed out... that it is unlikely.

OK for me too, but I want a slightly longer grip purchase and 10 rounds at least as an option. I want a short-barrelled Smith Glock 48, and i wonder about the Apex flat-faced carry trigger...

More thoughts by the late Steven A. Camp. He was an export on the Hi Power as well and his site is well worth the exploration: https://hipowersandhandguns.com/My Favorite Revolver.htm I would love to try one of the new GP100s in 44 Special and wish I had one. I love the smith 63 and 25 as well.

Does anybody have any experience with the M&P Shield Magazine extenders or the M&P Shield +2 capacity magazine extenders such as which brands work nicely and the difference with the 7 or 8 round magazines? Now that the came out with a 4.O Compact, they really need to come out with a long-slide 4.0 barrel Shield version.

Not much really to tell. They were not very welcoming, and they didn't go that extra distance to make me feel valued as a customer. I certainly wouldn't support their higher pricing with that attitude. I probably wouldn't make the hike and go back again. In conversations before visiting, they weren't really good at follow-up. The Legal Shield representative that was there was much more customer focused.

What the Fudd! Are gun owners acting illogically with their fears? I want to revisit. I was hoping that others would comment about it and ponder what its purpose was, and in particular because others have agreed with it in followup comments. Kudos to Regular Guy. It is important because this is setting a dangerous precedent and free men and woman should not be in fear at all. ALL of this fundamentally changes the relationship of the individual to his or her government and abuses can and will happen. The pendulum is still swaying the wrong way as more and more naturalized citizens are made legally and illegally and the ones already here are being brainwashed and further conditioned to be neutered. I am really not getting the gist of what you are saying unless you are trying to trump up business. Yes, we should all know our rights which in NJ are not always followed and yes a good attorney can help enlighten us. For example, we have a right to KEEP and BARE Arms. Yet, in reality ALL firearms have been made defacto illegal in NJ, which is actually not lawful. We have a right against unlawful searches and seizures unless someone drops a red flag? How can one be OK with having rights when they are being taken away or interpreted by radical judges. Honest law-abiding citizens are "reasonable" but what were you trying to say, having a little fear is OK? How often do gun owners get a jury made up of actual gun owners? If you only go to jail for 1 day for a mala prohibita that's OK as long as it isn't for 75 years? Only a 10 thousand dollar legal fee is OK. I still don't know what your "well-written" piece that others agree lock, stock and barrel is about. Are we being overrun by over-emotional firearms owners that are going to crack under the unjust pressure? Are those bringing these happenings to the attentions of the masses doing something wrong or exaggerating? Are people not savvy enough or or they unaware of their rights? There have been countless examples in NJ of criminals not having the laws enforced (plea bargaining down, etc.) while law-abiding citizens are entrapped and/or prosecuted and made examples of. Lets look at a hypothetical example, a citizen's rights get violated and she is harassed because her 12-year old playing Fortnight often mentions the word AR15 in school. Or what about if you get in a disagreement with your liberal brother about where to have brunch for Easter and he calls your local police department and says he is afraid. Or, maybe your husband has been working too much and so you decide to cheat and then get a divorce and your attorney decides to have a restraining order placed on him. Hello? If I want to get a coffee or go to the bathroom on my way to the range, or pickup a friend to go with me (it is safer to be at the range with others) then I don't want to be in fear. For now I guess I will just hold it and hope the plumbing at the range is functioning. Slow on the draw? What am I missing? Where are cases with precedence that illustrate that our law enforcement and legal system are reasonable? As an assistant DA did you protect citizen's rights? By the way, I commend the OP for being a 2nd Amendment supporter and it looks like he put a lot of work into his blog.

If I had one, I would probably keep it stock since it doesn't have a grip or flash hider, etc. For me, that would have been the main reason to buy a Saiga. I wonder what one duracoated looks like...

Many of us will be pondering the trip to visit Trenton on the 26th, however, that is also National Bump Stock Day! I am not a proponent of them and don't own one and I am sure that the Smurf would ban them if they are not banned already in New Jersey, but Americans need to be concerned with the precedence being set of this Executive Order. As we are accustomed to, unconstitutional orders are being put in place to make law-abiding citizens otherwise enemies of the State in NJ. However, this is on a national level! The President has put forth what appears to be an unconstitutional "law" that was not put forth by Congress and has one of his unelected groups reinterpret the laws and will make law abiding citizens criminals and not provide them with compensation for their legally purchased property. This does not appear to be a very good reason for this reactionary use of Executive power and further would be difficult to enforce and the penalties don't seem to fit the crime. Many Americans are counting on Donald Trump to support their Unalienable Rights.

Wow, the reaction from elected law enforcement in NJ is just like the reaction to the unjust and constitutional laws in New Mexico. Oh, wait... Has any law enforcement in NJ come out against these Draconian laws? Any FOP? Any sheriffs? Any townships? Any, Bueller?

I was not happy with their attitude or customer service this weekend as well.

I prefer SP101 to GP100. Put larger Hogue grip on it and good to go. Stay away from SR22. Beretta is too close to CZ. I would look for Brigadier modem if you want Beretta. If you get LCR get 3” with external hammer. No to SR22.

For the 9mm I would look at a full-size M&P espec. Red dot capable one. New ones outstanding triggers! Or a Shield or Compact 2.0. The new Sig adopted by militsry would be interesting.
