Waste of a perfectly good laptop. I'm all for disciplining the kid if she deserved it, but he could have just taken it away or sold it on ebay or something.

92A1 front sight is interchangable.

Correct, any 92 series mags will work in any 92 series Beretta. I THINK 90-two mags will work as well but don't quote me on that. The Beretta forum is a great resource for a lot of these kinds of details. http://berettaforum.net/

The 92A1 also features an internal recoil buffer that isn't included on the 92FS. I'm pretty new at all this as well, but from what I understand... the IRB was designed for the 96A1, which fires .40s&w, to extend service life. Beretta figured what the hell and threw it on to the 92A1 because it also fit that frame. Most people say the IRB isn't really needed in the 92A1 because 9mm isn't subjecting the frame to the same pressure as .40s&w. That being said, it certainly does not HURT and if anything will extend the service life of the 92A1. The M9A1 does not have the internal recoil bufer. Nor does it have a removable front sight. For a NJ buyer, the only downside to the 92A1 is that is comes from the factory with either 17 round (not NJ legal) or 10 round magazines. Whereas the M9A1 comes with NJ legal 15 rounders. However, the shop where I bought mine gave me a 92A1 with 15 round Beretta factory magazines. He said no one wants the 10 rounders so he only orders Berettas with 15 round magazines. How he made that work I don't know but as soon as he told me 15 round mags I took out my wallet to pay for the 92A1. For me, 92A1 over 92FS is a no brainer unless you're dead set on getting an INOX (stainless) because Beretta has not made the 92A1 in INOX.

The display case usually has maybe a dozen handguns in it, idk if he has any more "in the back" or something.

This is something I never knew. So if I understand correctly... I could keep an unloaded long gun in my trunk say on the way to work or on a joy ride? And by unloaded clearly that means the gun itself isn't loaded, but could I have ammo secured seperately from the long gun in the trunk? (i.e. the same way I would transport a handgun and ammo to the range)

Same here. If we're going to meet up on a semi regular basis we should vary the nights so say we meet on a Tuesday, next time we'll meet on a Friday, etc. That way we can accommodate different schedules.

I got quotes from Joe on a few different handguns and every time without fail he was the cheapest among the brick and mortar stores in North NJ. I think he sells decent volume so he can keep the prices low. You wouldn't think a small out of the way place like his would do much business but one time I went in there in the afternoon and he told me that 2 AR's he received that morning were sold before lunchtime.

Once I was talking to an LEO who told me that that homicide rate in places like Newark would SKYROCKET if the thugs actually fired their weapons with any sort of skill whatsoever. It's not uncommon for them to roll up on a crime scene with dozens of empty shell casings all over the place and maybe one round actually hit someone.

I hate to rain on the parade but getting the mag limit raised is just not going to happen any time soon. I think CCW is the better battle we should be fighting right now.

I am interested.

I just hope that with the new facility and all that Joe is able to stay competitive with prices. I understand he's got to pay the bills but one of the reasons that many people go to his shop in Lodi is because the prices are so good.

No way! This is great news. Joe is a very nice guy. I've never gone into his shop without spending at least half an hour shooting the breeze with him. I had no idea about the new location/range though.

Tuesday or Thursday after 7pm are best for me.

Doubt I can make it but have fun guys.

We should also plan a day to get together and do some shooting. Shame that because of our ridiculous firearms transport laws it probably isn't feasible to combine shooting with a "hang out" after.

How's the Beretta booth?

This sums it up. Small operation run by a nice guy. Great prices. They don't have a huge inventory in store but they'll be happy to order something for you.

This!

Damn I totally forgot I have class this Wed night. IDK if it will work for me.

Awesome, I thought that was you but I wasn't sure. I noticed in your sig you're a NRA instructor, do you actively teach?

I've done "headshots" every time I've shot at the Bullet Hole. I've never had a RO say anything about it. The closest I've done this was probably 20-25 feet though. I suppose then that headshots are fine so long as your target is out far enough that there isn't any risk of hitting the ceiling.

Were you the guy I met right before the meeting started last week? I was sitting next to Mark in the back.
