Here's the coverage on NJ.com.

Here's the thread on SigTalk. And here's a thread about barrel issues. Photos are plentiful if you have a SigTalk account. If not, go to page 3 on this thread and at least two photos are visible at the moment.

Hickok45 put up his video on the P365 this afternoon.

For those of you that don't belong to ANJRPC, here is today's posting from them covering a 'round-table' I didn't hear anything about. A video of the whole cabal is here. They publicly discussed a 10-round mag limit. No surprise there, but I'm wondering if they've realized the folly of trying a 5-round limit.

LOL! I couldn't afford to buy another one at today's prices either! You don't need two. When you have one of something and it's of really good quality, I think you appreciate it more. Enjoy!

Sorry there B if I misled you. I was referring to mine. The factory tuned Python was the very first handgun I bought, in 1978. I always thanked the salesman at Edelman's on Route 22 for that suggestion. Didn't know too much back then! Yes, I still have it, and won't sell it. Yours looks great and I hope you enjoy it. To me it's an heirloom.

Congratulations! Looks very familiar.

Yes they are OOS periodically on items I like. Over the last 5 years their OOS items seem to track the rest of the big internet ammo vendors, at least on items I frequent. When browsing their site I always check the 'Show in stock only' box. And sometimes when refreshing a page or starting over you have to recheck that box. That property is not persistent on their pages. I should note their alerts when items come back in stock do work.

Read the FAQs on the page. They give examples.

I think my biggest interest may end up being able to get free shipping if I don't have a full case, or if I buy a mixed case of something. Round nose & HP or something. I know I wouldn't jerk them around for a box at a time. But I had just ordered 100 rounds of Gold Dot .357 short barrel because they got it in, and paid $15 shipping. Of course the total price was still better than in state, but that's one example.

TSUSA is my top (but not only) online ammunition vendor. If they have what I want, 99% of the time they're the cheapest, and when they ship an order via Fedex I get it the next business day. I got a promotional email this morning and noticed this plugged in at the tail end. Looks like they're taking a hint from Amazon. $95/Year gets wholesale pricing and free shipping on every order. (Not just case orders.) Plus in the 3rd quarter of your membership they'll ship you a Mystery Ammo Box with items based on your purchase history. I have to do a little purchase history analysis and some arithmetic, but off the top it looks like I would break even at a bare minimum; most likely I'll be saving more than $95/year. If you're interested be sure to read the reviews and FAQ on the membership page. A number of people asked questions I'm sure we would ask. The answers are interesting.

And of course the statute doesn't say anything about how soon after the application has been filed a PD has to request the information they need. "Gee... didn't I request that info 12 weeks ago? Must have forgot. I'll get right on that. Maybe." I remember when I applied for my first FID and permits the local PD asked me "What do you want a handgun for?", then stonewalled me for over three months. The last (9th) call I made went like this: Me: I'm calling about my permits I submitted three months ago. PD: You'll have to speak to the detective. He's not here right now. Me: This has been going on for three months and I'm getting no explanations. I want to speak with the chief, and if he's not in I'll come down to the station and wait for him. PD: (pause) Hold on a second. (longer pause) They'll be ready to pick up tomorrow. Me: Thank you, I'll be in to get them. (hang up) *#^*)@(&^$*)@(!

Thanks for posting that JW. I'm glad he clarified that the only downside to a CCW rejection is checking the box and adding a one sentence explanation on all future applications.

The title of this story should be "Four Strikes And You're Out!". In this case, since you missed me four times, I'll hit you twice and send the rest of the group scattering. And check out the two babe accomplices. Meth heads?

W: Thanks for that link. The description on the page does say 'Sights: Tritium', so that's encouraging. The picture might actually be of the plain sight variant. Vendors don't always match up the correct product photo with the product page. Notice the disclaimer under the photo: "The product photo may not represent the complete detail of the item being purchased." That OD Green variant is the one I'm considering. Looks good in that photo. If it's got the Tritium sights it's a go.

Did you notice the councilman chose to not believe reality? How convenient. Goes back to what I posted earlier about proceeding from false premises. Of course actually what he was doing was answering a question (Does LE want to protect you?) and not replying to the statement Bach made.

Thanks W. I do see the TRU DOT logo so yes, they're Tritium. As for your model, I think HK uses the photo luminescent dot rather than a flat white on a number of models. Sometimes they have refered to those as 'night sights'. But I wouldn't. Pull a pistol with those out of a safe (where they've been for a week or more) in the dark and see how much night vision you get. As for the others, the colored frames frames of color not only don't have a 'LE' designation, they have a different series number. That's why I'm looking for direct experience or info what those 'night sights' are.

The factory night sights on the VP9 are Tritium based, not photo luminescent like the HK45s etc. The HK VP9 SK web page lists a number of variants. The 700009KLE-A5 is listed as having factory night sights, but the page doesn't specify what type. I did find verbiage on vendor sites for this variant that describe Tritium sights so I'm *assuming* this is true. Anyone know for sure? Also, three other variants (green-81000098, grey-81000100 and FDE-81000096 frames) are also listed as having night sights. Does anyone know if these three variants use Tritium sights? I emailed HK CS a couple days ago about this, but they haven't answered me yet.

There are 'Chasing News' segments posted on the WOR website, but the most recent ones are from 12/2017. So it looks like the answer is 'not yet'.

If that is true someone should give him a hat tip. I don't think I know anyone who's let a permit expire deliberately with a renewal available. Even if they don't have a handgun of interest at that time. Taking all the renewals off the table should speed up the initial process at least a little. At the Augusta barracks Sgt. Bill Hollar is always right on top of his end of the permit process, and I know he's done his best to contribute to improving the process in Trenton.

AFAIK only the NJSP Firearms Unit is doing this. Local PDs still set their own policy. Of course they could do it if they wanted to.

This week I applied for permits to purchase through the NJSP, and was advised that now the Firearms Unit in Trenton is issuing permits with the extension already approved. So the original permit is good for 180 days from the issue date. That was confirmed by my FFL who just received permits themselves. Anyone who must apply through the NJSP should receive the same treatment. I have not seen this mentioned anywhere so I thought I'd post it.

You might want to check out Collectibles Insurance. Given the dollar value of what I wanted to insure their quote was very reasonable. And when I acquired a 2nd residence they would cover all items regardless of where they were at any one time. No itemized list required either.

Here's a question for Bitcoin fans or observers: What happens when the market value of a single Bitcoin drops below the production cost? (The cost to produce an average Bitcoin is around $6K depending on what state you're in.) I think the answer may be the miners stop mining, which means they stop their computers. Related question: What happens if Bitcoin miners stop their computers calculations? I think the answer is the entire block chain either slows down proportionally or stops completely. This article makes some of these points and has links to additional articles with related information. I've studied the computational and cryptographic aspects of Bitcoin a little bit out of curiosity, but I never thought about these two basic questions.

I guess the question I would have is: Does an arrest for having a small amount of marijuana qualify someone as "being adjudged a juvenile delinquent'? I don't know the answer. But I don't see the direct connection between the two.
