I really want the Sig P227. I am hoping they are made available before my permits expire.

Even if you did reload for 357 sig the biggest issue is getting brass. It hardly exists. I once scooped up around 2000 casings off the floor. After sorting them I think a total of maybe 5-8 were 357 sig. If you're not reloading it's very expensive. Personally I will only shoot what I can afford to shoot A LOT.

Yeah good points. I've seen some demos of what you're saying on youtube and it is surprising. I just want to make the vid for demonstration sake, not really to make an argument either way. I really have no clue when it comes to self defense applications with knives or firearms.

The only cure is bankruptcy. May you never be cured.

37 for USPSA? That's extremely low for Old Bridge even in cold weather. I've seen almost 100 in the summer. I maybe shot one in the winter and I know it was more than 37 ppl. That's like an indoor match. Has been especially cold lately though. Just out of curiosity: What time did you guys finish with only 37 shooters? That's only like 5-6 guys a squad right?

I don't know if they do installs, but I've been here a couple times. http://www.jerseypolicesupply.com/ 355 ANDERSON AVENUE - FAIRVIEW, NJ07022 201)941-5661 Doesn't hurt to ask.

I didn't see a whole lot about the difference between the two when I was shopping so I made a video after buying the Viper version compared to the standard version. Did the vid a while ago and just found it so posted it up. My personal opinion is the Viper is worth the few extra bucks.

Just seeing if you regular competitors have seen a drop in the number of shooters since ammo has become more scarce due to the recent events. I haven't shot a match in a very long time so seeing how/if the scene has been effected at all.

I shot with a GM once and he told me just to ride the thumb along the slide for consistency. As long as you're not pressing on it it won't affect your shot and it won't hurt your thumb.

As if getting shot with an arrow isn't bad enough, you can now follow it up with a 357 mag.

If they had announced this as a 226/229 chambered in 45 I think the response would be different. Giving it a whole new model name makes people expect a somewhat new gun. Personally I think it's perfect for me. Hope they release it before my permits expire!

I'd like something like this to go viral. Even 1M views is not all that much in the grand scheme of things. It's only gone up in views a few thousand since my last post. So I don't think it's going viral. Viral vids usually hit 7 digit views within the first week or less. Looks like it's been 5 days so there's still some time, but I doubt it will get too popular. Too bad, one of the most informative vids I've seen to date for uninformed individuals.

I put an order in and it went through. No mention of it being out of stock.

Hypothetically speaking since we're on hypothetical situations anyway; If they came to your door and were like "Give'em up". And you said: "Uh, I sold them a while ago, and I don't have any docs to prove it." What would happen? I guess either way you're screwed cause you would not be able to use them anyway. Personally I agree with Nick's statements. I don't really think the whole: Come n get'em! thing is a very productive stance to the matter at hand. I'm not saying a middle ground is necessarily fair or in compliance with the 2nd Amendment, but it's a realistic approach to what's happening right now. Personally I'd take his suggestions. Way better than the current NJ laws and what is being proposed on the other end of the spectrum. I also don't think if someone comes with some logical ideas and some sense they should be labelled as gutless (or in this case with no balls, LOL).

Let us shotgun newbs have our fun! AR parts are expensive these days if at all available!

The most viewed version of the first video had 167k views. That's pretty sad. Something like this should be in the millions. I'd much rather this be out there than all the Piers Morgan debates.

I feel you man and you make a good point. Hey perhaps this was their sick "opportunity" to even the odds. You are right, things were headed in the right direction for sure. But you know sometimes when things are brought up even in a negative light it will catch peoples attention and some people will use their brains (yes it is possible) and actually see the truth in the matter. I know it looks grim, but I think if we conduct ourselves professionally/civilly during this time around people who do not know much about guns or who are anti gun it could do a lot more good then we might think.

I'm not for or against what people chose to do and each have their merits. Definitely don't wanna start another Dicks debate, LOL! In an unrelated note, do you still have that XDS? I sent you a few PMs but didn't get a response. It's OK if it's no loner available, just checking in.

Invite them to go shooting. All my non gun owning friends who I took to the range quickly realized gunowners are ordinary people. They learn to respect firearms. They see that gun owners are actually safety nuts. and of course they realize shooting is a lot of fun!

I never said I'd boycott them. I haven't. Just bought ammo from them actually. I highly doubt anyone researched others ppls posts to see if they were going back on their word to boycott them. I'm sure the members who said they would will not buy. As for everyone else they'll probably keep buying.

East Brunswick and Woodbridge still have decent long gun inventory. Ammo isn't too bad. Lots of places are short on handgun ammo just cause ppl are buying it up.

They mail them to you? Nice! Well I supposed I'd rather deal with the hassle of waiting an hour than waiting four to six months like some of you guys. But at the end of the day none of us should be waiting in the first place.

Aberdeen/Matawan. They are actually one of the "better" ones in Jersey compared to some of the nightmare stories I hear from some of you guys. But I am still a little annoyed that only one guy can hand me documents. I mean really?

I went to pick up my permits at my local PD the other day. LIke normal they told me to have a seat and wait. So I did. Half hour goes by.... 45 minutes... then an hour. Now I'm gonna be late to work. I talk to the woman up front and mention that I've been there an hour. She tells me: "Well I told them and they are getting someone." I ask if I can come on the weekend and she tells me only the detectives handle permits and only they can give it to me. I find it kinda hard to believe only a detective can physically hand over permits that are already approved. I had to leave since I was running late. Total waste of my time. Anyone get asked to wait like this at their PD and do they have to have a special person/division handle it or do you just pick it up at the front desk? This is the first time it happened, but I was pretty put off by it.

Technically speaking if they had a few textbooks in there that'd probably also stop a round no? I know it'd at least stop a 22. Not sure about a 38. I remember seeing some videos of various rounds going into a phone book and most cannot penetrate all the way through. Rifle round would be different of course.
