A .357 style revolver gives you a versatile option with regards to ammo type. You can use .38 wad cutter rounds which are less expensive and have much reduced recoil, .38 special rounds which offer good accuracy and all around use, and .357 magnum for self defense (if you wanted to go that route). Look for a Smith & Wesson 686 or Ruger SP101 type (there are lots of different styles, barrel lengths, etc) Beautiful guns with form and function. This seems like the best choice given your wants. I would go rent them or find a friend who has them to make sure you can be comfortable with them. Good luck!

Where are you?

I like the stack sights and the straight dust cover in the m9 but if you want to adjust the sights and rail I agree on the 92a1. The DA trigger is smooth with practice and I think its perfectly balanced for my hands. Love the all metal construction. Easy as hell to strip and clean. I say go for it.

Recently moved (stayed in the same town) and I just called my local PD to get info about changing my FID card. My gf also has 2 unused pistol permits. The secretary told me to use the permits as quickly as possible, and when I told her that wasn't an option she told me that she would just have to apply for new permits and the old ones would be invalid. Honestly,its not a big deal for either of us because we really dont have the money for a pistol at the moment and the permit is not expensive at all. I was just wondering if this is a common practice or if she is just uninformed on what to do. Any ideas? Thanks

Yeah, mine doesn't, which I like.

What month did you join. I joined in Dec.

+1 on savage. I like them.

New member is the last Wednesday(?) Of the month I think. I just joined and there wasn't really a waiting list. I applied and they called. I forget what member on here heads up new members.

Coincidence? I think not. *grabs tin foil*

Ok I got it. Its basically a donation. There are no special perks for being a member. (Aside from your chinese hat lol)

So its generally a lobbiest group for polititions more or less?

So I know a majority of you are NRA members in some capacity. I'm new to the game so can you please shed some light as to why it would be beneficial to me to join, aside from donating Money to their cause? Interestingly I've seen some complaints by people that they really don't do much for people living in NJ and was wondering why. What's in it for me lol. Thanks

+1 A rifle would not be my choice for HD. Maybe a .45 carbine or something. Just the sound of a shotty will make most people crap their pants.

Crap. I was thinking the same thing

I HATE getting muzzle flashed. It drives me nuts and unfortunately very common at public places I've been to.

+1. Love mine

I get my 9mm for around $10 a box sometimes less. On sale at Sportsmans guide or cabelas. Less expensive brands that work in my M9: Sellior & bellot magtech Pmc bronze Haven't tried speer. Herters has nylon jacketed I want to try. A quality gun should eat almost anything.

The slide is definitely locking all the way forward when the trigger is stuck? Have you tried cycling some snapcaps to see if you can duplicate the problem. Maybe with the grip safety not engaging the trigger?

My dream would be Manhattan but I'd love to move back home to Staten Island. OH MY GOD! Not NYC! yeah I know. Home is home.

Handgun - Beretta 25th Anniversary M9. Bought at Lou's about 5 months ago Rifle - used Savage model 110 in 30-06. Bought it new years day at cabelas lol. Bought my (favorite) colt 1991 somewhere in between there. I'll probably never sell the M9 but I will eventually upgrade the other 2.

I was talking more about changing the original trigger it self more than anything. Didnt want to mess with it. Just happened to be a skeleton I wanted.

Effingers in bound brook sells guns but there's no range.

Dude didn't I say colt 2 weeks ago lol.

Less expensive usually means more margin, in my line if work at least. More room to mark up. I was days away from buying one myself but found a good deal in a colt instead. From my research I've found that they had issues years ago that destroyed their reputation with dealers. In this kind of business rep is everything. But like I said, I've heard good things from owners and was ready to get one myself.

Ive heard HORRIBLE things about taurus from people who sell them. But I've only heard good things from people who ownthem. Take that for what its worth I guess, I've never owned one. RIA on the other hand seems to get good reviews from everyone.
