Underdog

I would love to get a G22, chop it down to accept G19 or G23 magazines, and then get a G22 9mm conversion barrel.

Glock day at Heritage Guild this weekend!

Awesome cat! But I know of a dog that would have eaten that other dog.

The only thing I would upgrade is the cheap, plastic sights. In particular, I like the TruGlo TFO sights. If I considered doing any other upgrades, I would consider an extended magazine release, and in modifying the bottom of the trigger guard.

It was reported that the dog will be euthanized.

I'm not familiar with modern renditions. But if you choose an older one, other than its collect-ability and its historical value it doesn't appeal to me. It might have some descent engineering in it, but there are so many better modern pistols. It was a "budget" gun to replace the Luger which was expensive to produce. I would rather have a Browning Hi-Power if you want a historical firearm. If you plan on shooting the P38, you might have to stick with ball ammo. The modern rendition of the P38 is the Beretta 92.

I didn't get my Utah permit because I knew that that was coming. I believe you can get a Virginia carry permit, but you would need to check on it. As a NJ resident, a Glock 19 makes more sense to me for the most part, because you can use 15-round magazines, and because it is more versatile. With a Glock 17, you will be largely stuck with 10 round magazines in NJ. Which, I guess could be the norm, soon, unless Christie does the right thing. So it might not matter. Another thought would be a Glock 23 w/ a 9mm conversion barrel and some magazines to match. You could also use Glock 22 (15-round .40S&W) magazines with it for a lot of versatility. And, although more expensive, it might be easier to find .40 S&W ammo.

I would like to put a finish on an older, blued Ruger Mark.

This is awesome! 22 States Have Signed on to Oppose New York's Gun Ban

This has little to do with stupid. These are cold, calculating, manipulative statists with socialist/marxist tendencies and a flare for tyranny and governmental abuse and an agenda. Mr. C. thank you.

They don't care at all about the people. Statists and their state of corruption targeting law-abiding citizens instead of violent criminal thugs, and for political gain while expressing their ideology that they are the masters and we are the servants. It is sad that a people that chose to be free continuously give up their rights to appease these political miscreant thugs.

Most gear is awesome, but over-rated. For example, you can buy a nice gassifyer stove for about $100, or make one for about $5-10 dollars. Would the $100 have more convenience and be well made? One would hope, but the $5-10 one will boil water and cook. Knowledge and use know-how and the ability to use things, cans, etc. to help with survival is equally as important as expensive gear.

I never had a problem with them in a G23 w/ conversion barrel. The G22 KCI mags also work flawlessly in the G23.

BOBs are nice, and some money and gear should be gathered... think of the 5, 10 or 15 Cs... However, for most, a Get Home bag is probably a more practical thing, unless you live in an urban environment, inner-city, etc. For the most part, you can get the 5-15 Cs (see Dave Canterbury) covered with a lot of inexpensive things around you on a reasonable budget, or you can go and spend lots of money and get lots of cool gear. Cover the basics! Having lots of cool gear is, well, kind of cool, but having the best isn't always really the best. For example, you can buy a $200-300 knife, but maybe a $70 knife will do 85% of what the more expensive knife will do. Or, you can go and get a few firearms, and not stock up on necessary ammo or training because you invested in the firearms, instead. As with everything, you should most likely want to proceed with moderation. If you are lacking enough food for say 3 months, and/or some water, then those should be a priority. Although, if you are living in a big city a bug-out bag is quite important. For me, bugging out would be a last resort, with children, etc. Might I ever need too? Maybe, but for me, bugging in seems more of a chance, and that is where the get-home bag comes into play.

For EDC, I'd go with the Esee 3. And, you might want to take a look at the Becker BK24 (or BK14) for EDC carry... For most outdoor applications, I think the Esee 4" is the perfect knife, but a little big for EDC.

You may want to be careful on this... If you moved and didn't update the address for your FID there might be problems now that you have returned, and not just the inability to purchase unless they match up. A more knowledgeable person on here might be able to answer to this.

I don't think it's a problem. I bet he still has the same views, and they might be even more strongly felt, now.

Compromised or in colusion? Or just total irresponsibility and disregard in not taking it. May the farce be with you. I know, I'm excused, too. My money is on them not hearing the case.

Both of these guns are nice. I would lean toward the Beretta and get the 92A1 series Beretta with the removable front sight if I went with the Beretta. Other than that, either would be good. I would expand your choices to a CZ 75B. Pick one up and feel it in your hand. CZs are amazing! And I would consider the SIG 229, as well, even though it isn't "full size". I would think that the SIG 226 would be better if you have medium-sized hands, as the Beretta really is for someone with large hands. The E2 SIG would be even better for smaller or medium hands. A used Beretta 92 Vertec with a 1911 style grip would be awesome, too, especially for smaller hands and has removable front sight and rail similar to the A1 series Berettas. A SIG 226 E2 would be quite nice, with the Nitron finish! Major difference, keep in mind that the SIG doesn't have a safety and the Beretta does. The Beretta is a much nicer and sexier weapon. The SIG is more chunky. And, magazines and holsters, and initial layout will be less for the Beretta, and a used 92 could be had at a nice bargain. My favorite SIG is the 229 Enhanced Elite w/ night sights and SRT trigger. In my hands it just feels better to me than the Beretta and I personally like the size over the 226. But, for a full-size handgun, I would rather have a S&W M&P 9 striker-fired w/ updated Apex trigger than either of them. But, if I was getting a "metal" 9mm, I would get a CZ 75B matte stainless. It is all steel, unlike the Beretta 92. and once the trigger is worn in, it will hold its own against the Beretta.

I believe discretion, as with most things, is the key here. Personally, I don't carry a pocket knife with a visible clip showing. No need to call to attention to what should be a personal freedom, the right to carry a tool that is used for a multitude of purposes, such as ... eating an apple or a pear, opening bubble packages when purchasing various items from stores, just in case I need to cut a seat belt. It is also the most important survival tool one can have for get-home bags, etc.. A sharp edge is a fundamental and basic tool that is used for many things. And, although I have a variety of choices, often I choose approx. a $20-30 dollar knife to carry, as I don't want to lose it or have a more valuable one taken, etc. Actually, I usually carry two sharp-edged tools. I have a mini multi-tool that comes in quite handy for a variety of reasons and a smallish 3-4 inch blade folder that can do jus about anything I would need it for in an urban environment. And, as a scouting parent, I often utilize more bush craft style full tang knives when camping, etc.. As usual, NJ has no respect for the individual and his freedoms and property. Any LEO that knowingly confiscates and/or charges an otherwise law-abiding citizen for a knife offense for no reason is just a POS and will eventually get what he or she deserves. What really frustrates me is that I cannot carry my primary survival tool when traveling, flying, etc., and I have had blades taken from my checked-in luggage, probably by the thugs that work in Newark terminals to sell on Ebay, etc.

Schrade SCHF10 If it was made of 1095 Hi-Carbon steel like the SCHF9 I would certainly buy a couple of them. I really like the looks of the SCHF10, and its nicely balanced and it probably would make a decent blade in a humid area with its stainless material, but I am also not too fond of the curve on the blade which makes it hard to sharpen, especially in the field. The sheath is OK, but nothing to write home about. The SCHF26 seems to be the same blade, but with a different grip and a lower price point.
