Anyone have a S&W 627 8 Shot?
I considered the 686 Pro as well, that trigger felt Amazing. Didn't fire the gun, just handled it at Shoreshot. I'd never turn down an offer to shoot any gun so if you're ever there or perhaps shooting a local match let me know. My only concern with the 686 or 60 is less rounds. I probably average around at least 8 rounds to hit all five plates in steel... on a good day. To me it's a lot of pressure if you miss once knowing you can't miss again. Good thing is I can use it for IDPA/USPSA without issues.

Sig 228 Barrel Crown Wear
Just some regular cleaning solution and a brass brush (Gunslick Kit). Then used a bore snake and used it to "floss" the crown a bit.

Sig 228 Barrel Crown Wear
Well you guys were right, it was lead build up and it came off pretty easy. Now it's nice and clean. Thanks for the help!

Do You Always Load Your Magazine to Capacity at the Range?
I find I usually don't load more than ten at a time. Sometimes I'll only do five. Makes me concentrate a little more on each shot rather than just letting them all go and getting too trigger happy. It's surprising how fast you can go through ammo.

My Glock 26 has been flawless! Except when it jammed.

Anyone have a S&W 627 8 Shot?
One of these days I want to get a revolver. The 627 Pro Series looks to be the best candidate so far. I like to use all my guns some competitive form. Eight shots seems sufficient for me for steel. I don't think I'd fair too well with much less. I think 6 is the limit for USPSA, but I don't think I'd shoot revolver division anyways. I shot a 686 and that was a lot of fun. What can you tell me about the 627? Note: Pics are always nice if ya got'em

How Common is CCW WITHOUT a Permit in NJ?
It would be nice if I was ATF, then I could carry. I'm not asking if anyone here does it. Just asking as a general question. I have had people tell me they carry though and they have no permit. The whole rather get judged by 12 than carried by 6 theory... But to my knowledge if you use a gun even in a justifiable, self defense, situation, but you legally cannot carry you're still in a world of legal hurt.

Kimber 22lr Conversion
Yeah I can't see why there is such a stark difference between Blazer and Fed Bulk as they are about the same quality.

Just got my Classification for USPSA
Cool man, I just got classified as a 'C' as well in production. I really thought I'd be a 'D' or get a letter saying I need to get more practice LOL!

How Common is CCW WITHOUT a Permit in NJ?
One day I was in a gun shop and looking at some small pistols. The guys behind the counter were saying how certain ones were good for carry. I replied: Isn't it illegal to carry in NJ? They said with a bit of a laughter don't worry we won't tell, kinda implying it's something people do. I also have heard of some people carrying concealed despite not having a permit. Is this more common than I think? I personally see it as way too much of a risk.

my new Glock 17 gen 4 is sick :(
I have seen a report that the ejector for the Gen 4 were at a slightly off angle if that makes any sense. But the problem is easily fixed.

Sig 228 Barrel Crown Wear
I'm use Accurate #2 and I am using the start load off their load data sheet for 124gr hollow points, around 4gr I believe. It's a pretty light load, not sure if that is good or bad. For the Lead they are 115gr wadcutters. I think I'm at 3.7gr for those. Also a very light load. I'm a fairly new reloader/shooter so if ya see something wrong don't be afraid to tell me. My feelings won't be hurt... much.

You guys are some mad scientists! How would I explain to my wife why all the thermometers are broken in the house?

Kimber 22lr Conversion
Hey guys, I have a Kimber TLE RL II and the 22lr conversion upper for it. I found it likes CCI Minimag a lot and it does OK with CCI Blazer as well. Remington Golden bulk and Federal Bulk however jam up with just about every single magazine. Just seeing if any of you guys have the same kit and what ammo you had success with. I'd be interested in hearing what other 1911 22lr owners are shooting as well. P.S. Kinda a side question, but the dedicated Kimber 22 1911 has the exact same upper right? I handled one the other day and did not see any difference.

Sig 228 Barrel Crown Wear
Thanks guys. Bryan I only shot lead out of it last night, around 150 rounds, but these marks were here long before that shooting session. Prior to that I was using Berry's 124gr hollow points which are plated. I will try to give it a scrubbing with my cleaning brush, maybe it will come off and I just didn't try hard enough. Didn't think about just buying a new barrel, not a bad call.

Sig 228 Barrel Crown Wear
Hey guys, take a look at the crown of my Sig 228 Barrel. I'm not sure why it's so rough like this. You can feel these marks with your finger. Kinda like someone took a file to it or something. The gun was bought used, but in excellent condition. To be honest at the time I did not check for this wear so not sure if it came like this or not. I put around 500 rounds through it, previous round count was around 200. First I'd like to know what causes this. Secondly I'd like to know if it's worth re-crowning. I think it's $80 for Sig to do it which is a lot. Thanks for your guys help.

Next Firearm suggestions? This is a hard one...
Like what some others said I say you go for the little pocket rocket. Maybe a Kahr PM/CM9, Ruger LC9. Maybe go smaller and get a .380.

GSG 522 pistol legal in NJ???
Everyone knows that once a pistol exceeds 50oz it comes to life and annihilates every living thing around it. There's nothing anyone can do to stop it. Common knowledge really.

HK USP Compact 9mm Review
This was the first handgun I ever purchased. It's also the first handgun I sold. Awesome pistol. Super reliable, very accurate, high quality, and good looking. I sold it cause I needed the cash. Wish I could have kept it around, but you know how it goes. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the review. Any other HK owners I'd love to hear your thoughts on this pistol or others and how they compare/contrast.

My Name Is Zoid and I'm a Gunaholic
I'm pretty new to guns/shooting, but I'm certifiably addicted that is for sure. I'm been lurking this forum for some time now actually. Mainly to find out what local competitions are going on in the area. Before I got my FID (which was about a year ago)I got all the details on how to do it here on this Forum. I'm a member at ShoreShot down in Lakewood. I've done a few matches here and there (Steel at Central, USPSA/IPSC at Old Bridge). Sometimes I do the Monday night shoot at Shoreshot. If you're wondering bout the screen name I'm normally knifezoid on other forums as I am into knives as well and that somehow lead to guns. I need cheaper hobbies. Maybe knitting or something. Yarn is cheap right? - Lawrence
