Thumbing the Hammer Back in Production
If you have a DA/SA gun is it allowed to thumb the hammer back after you draw for the first shot? Or do you have to take the first shot in double action?

New Glock 19 Gen 4
My 34 was a little dry when new so I put some lube on (Weapon Shield) before using it. I don't think the kind of oil matters too much for Glocks. They'd probably run on canola oil.

Guns getting scarce?!
I do know many AR companies are behind in production from what I've been told by some gun shops. Even still you could go on plenty of online dealers and order an abundance of AR parts. Every time I go into a gun store there are plenty of ARs on the wall as well. I guess if you're looking for something specific the scarcity comes into play.

Guns getting scarce?!
I hear this from time to time but I always see great deals on this very forum for handguns and rifles. That to me is an indication they are not all that scarce cause if they were people wouldn't sell them and if they did sell they'd ask for a lot more. Neither of which seem to be the case here or elsewhere.

HK USC 45 ACP legal in NJ?
I saw two people use them at a local steel match. I handled one and it was nice. But I'd argue overpriced for what it is. Mags are also extremely expensive.

New Pit at Old Bridge Rifle Pistol Club?
Yes, that's the one. Looks like a berm was being put up and trees/debris removed. Certainly looked like deliberate work and quite different from the time I saw it before where it was just trees/dirt.

New Pit at Old Bridge Rifle Pistol Club?
I meant to ask this over a month ago, but last time I shot a USPSA match it appeared as if they were digging out a new pit at OBRPC. This is next to the pit all the way in the back corner (sorry, forgot pit number as I'm not a member). Is this the case and if so will this be an extra stage for the matches? Anyone know?

New to me for HD
What an excellent deal! Congrats. I'd definitely have scooped that up at that price.

What's the Crappiest Least Reliable Ammo Out There?
Yes, I'd say if your 22 feeds RemingTURD then it should shoot everything. My 22 1911 conversion will shoot it but I've had several rounds that fail to extract and you have to take the whole slide off to get it out. That's kind of the comparo I was looking for centerfire. I've actually shot the Umarex stuff out of my Kimber just fine so I guess it kinda passed the test.

What's the Crappiest Least Reliable Ammo Out There?
I think you're not understanding my question or what I'm trying to say. Obviously I don't want to test my gun with a double charge... come on. I mean more like stuff that's just less tight in tolerances or harder for some guns to cycle, however, STILL SAFE. I'm referring to stuff more like aluminum blazer, or as people had mentioned, steel case ammo and the likes.

Calendar/Listings of Local USPSA/IDPA Matches
I just wanted to add that the Tenafly USPSA match is now a practice only match. There is no official classifier that gets submitted and I don't even believe it's scored the same as most USPSA matches. The courses are similar though and rules are the same.

What's the Crappiest Least Reliable Ammo Out There?
I'm actually asking cause my thought is if your gun can shoot a couple boxes of crappy stuff then it should be able to shoot everything else. So what are the worst brands of ammo out there?

What's the best Glock 19 Gen4 Holster?
I like the Bladetech Revolution or the Uncle Mikes Injection Molded holsters. I use the Bladetech for my Gen 4 34 and it's great.

How long are your handgun range sessions?
In reading these numbers this is why I never understood when people say: This gun is great, 100 rounds and no issues! I go through 200 rounds in one visit to the range, under 2 hours. Seems like everyone else here does too. In my opinion any decent gun should spit out 1000 rounds without problems with no major type of servicing or break in.

fun gun for steel
I use 45 for steel all the time. Just load it light and you'd be surprised how well it performs. Nothing beats a 9mm though. Eventually I want a 9mm 1911 dedicated for steel.

poor experience at shore shot
I admit I actually made the same mistake at Shoreshot but it was with my air rifle. Granted that shouldn't make a difference so no excuses. I just didn't know better at the time. The RO approached me very kindly and explained the rules. I did not feel offended in the least, but again that was my personal experience. When it comes to gun safety I do believe it is OK to be a little harsh. Only because it's not like you're asking someone to put out a cigarette indoors. It can literally be a life or death situation and I feel guns should always be treated with that level of awareness and respect.

How long are your handgun range sessions?
I really don't like going for anything less than two hours to make it worth my while. If I lived closer an hour might do. I like to take my time and not rush though.

Why Are You in Favor of CCW in NJ?
Might be kind of an unorthodox reason but I'd like CCW laws to apply in this state so that there is less chance of me getting busted for some stupid gun transport law or something to that affect. If I had a CCW license then presumably I could have my gun loaded in the car and I could make stops weather legally "reasonable" or not. So is it weird to say I'd like to CCW for protection from... THE LAW?!

Wherer does everyone buy their powder and primers?
LOL! Yes, pretty much. I was even told by the guy sometimes they close early on a Sunday if there is a good football game on. Hahaha! Good place though. I got a pistol there once too. You'd be surprised at what they have in stock for guns.

Heads up to those interested in the Sig 229.
It happens with new model updates like the Gen 4 Glocks. Probably will work itself out. Does sig plan to do the E2 and other updates to the 220?
