tough decision for daughter
Does she get laid off for the summer? Might be a good time to put unemployed on the application.

Defensive Carbine 9/8 +1 to GAPP
Just got home from my first practical training course by GAPP. I'm exhausted. I'd like to thank Cameron for a great time and a great course that laid a good foundation to my carbine training. Some quick observations: Class was up tempo and fast paced, which is good since it was an 8 hour class. Don't want to lose focus. Cameron is a very engaging instructor and kept it easy for me to pay attention to learning moments between drills. You quickly realize what pieces of gear just aren't going to work out and what things you need to tweak. If you like plenty of fire time, this was a good class. I went through somewhere around 600 rounds or more. The other students were great (including DTTuner) and it was an especially safe day. Never felt leery of others. Cam kept things light and was great with any questions, even if it didn't necessarily pertain to the course in general. I definitely give this course a big +1 and I'm looking forward to taking more courses with GAPP (most interested in a Carbine II course and defensive pistol) If you are on the fence about taking one, DO IT. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again to Cam and the other students for making this such a good course.

Call them and see if they will add on the front sight post. They are awesome at switching things out and often do it for free. Especially for NJ compliant

went to targetmasters in Chadds Ford PA
I was figuring that was the problem. I was very tentative at first only giving short bursts. By the end I was controlling the recoil much better and had a full mag dump with no issues. I took me about 1 hour 15 mins-1 hour 30 mins from hillsborough. Not too bad. The rental fees are 10 bucks for a semi or revolver and 20 bucks for a full auto. You'll pay WAY more. The lane fee was 15 for an hour I think. They werent chasing us out the door even after we went over a little bit.

Thanks, pm responded. But like I said it wasn't a terrible experience at all. I only went through about 3 boxes of 9mm so it wasn't a huge deal to me. Just a couple of FTE. I figured I probably caused it somehow anyway.

went to targetmasters in Chadds Ford PA
It is my birthday today and to celebrate me my brother and my gf went to targetmasters so I could rent some full auto. Aside from the rental gun (UMP 9mm) jamming every 10 rds or so it was a great time. Place was extremely friendly, showed us several guns even though they knew we had no intention to buy, RO was attentive and helpful. He even told me "Some places only want you to load 4 or 5 rounds at a time with full auto, F*** that dude, load them all and have fun." Ammo prices were not bad at all for rentals. 9mm was about 13 and 5.56 was 10 or so I think. Much more reasonable than anticipated. Definitely a place I will be returning to and hope you all check it out if you get a chance.

Several Dead, Including Gunman, in NJ Supermarket Shootout
This. I guess we've reached the point where human life is worthless. A young girl and presumably a young man had their lives TAKEN from them. I don't care how many people get killed a day, its still tragic. And not any less so because its not your family.

Are people really this stupid?
I mean, his story is plausible, not probable. I don't know what the school system or what history they teach there, but damn, you'd figure you would run across the name "Hitler" somewhere lol.

Holster Advice..
I use a Serpa for my 1911. Dont know why everyone gets all butt hurt over them. Search the "don't use serpa" thread if you want both sides of the issue. Also have blackhawk double Mag pouch. Good budget items.

Home AR Trigger Job
I think it was to make sure that the hammer didn't release while cocked. If jostled hard and the hammer stays in the same place seems gtg

my gf finally took home her new pistol
She hasn't actually fired that gun lol. She usually shoots my m9 and sometimes my. 45. While I don't think recoil is the main problem I do think a 22 would help her get back to basics. I know for a fact that the grips on my guns are a bit big for her. The walther fits MUCH better for her being slimmer and more ergo. She's only like 5' tall with tiny hands.

my gf finally took home her new pistol
Thanks everyone. She's always been really open to firearms and didn't need much of a push, though she doesn't take it to such an extreme as many of us do. She gets very frustrated when she doesnt shoot as well as she'd like and it tends to discourage her from going to the range more often. I've been trying to get her to take another class with me so maybe we can correct whatever problem she encounters. we'll see what happens.
