Apparently the 'Comment Period' was just a snow job. They decided last year to ban them no matter what anyone said. See the following story, but take note of the note at the end where dates are corrected from 2014 to 2015, to make more sense. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/03/06/exclusive-atf-has-already-banned-common-at15-green-tip-ammunition-n1966761

Marry a woman who morphs into Glock Girl. Then, when she has all the models worth having, shoot whatever you like.

Only the issuing authority for your permits (Newton PD?) can confirm what they will or won't do. It is totally at their discretion. For now. What I (we) think doesn't count.

Hadn't seen this yet. Previewed at IDEX in Abu Dhabi. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/03/04/beretta-reveals-new-striker-fired-pistol/?intcmp=ob_homepage_tech&intcmp=obnetwork Revision: OK, I fixed the link. But as noted there's another thread with different info.

Be aware of this. Suppose you do in fact shut off your main breaker, then connect your generator to your house panel and run it. You're 'good' so far. ('m assuming you used a 240 VAC connection to your panel.) Now, when power is restored, you have 240 VAC on the utility side, with 240 AC on your generator side. Depending on the phase difference, that can put 480 VAC across your main breaker that you turned off. Not all breakers are rated to withstand 480 VAC across their poles, and might short. Compromising your generator, or worse. This represents an additional risk you take. Just consider it.

As far as I can tell there's only three or four cases of ND supposedly connected to light trigger pull. And those cases were all revolvers that had been cocked, and discharged in SA mode. I can't find any pistol case law, as noted above. (I'm not a lawyer, and I don't have access to legal databases.) Here's a two part article by another author that basically calls B.S. on the weight/liability argument. I thought he made some good points and suggestions that should be considered. http://www.breachbangclear.com/a-critical-look-at-trigger-pull/ http://www.breachbangclear.com/a-critical-look-at-trigger-pull-2/ I should say I posted this thread because I'm trying to form my own opinion and a course of action, and Ayoob is someone who's opinion I respect. He's not the only opinion I respect. I didn't post it up to convince anyone of anything. Just opinions to consider or discard as you see fit.

I have compared the Glock factory 'dot' connector and spring combo to a 'minus' connector with NY1 spring. The trigger does take on a different operational feel, but the pull weight remains pretty much the same. The minus/NY1 combo is the one preferred by Ayoob on his carry Glocks according to many of his posts. And since the weight is really not diminished, he doesn't consider it a liability. And Glock endorses that combination as well. My biggest takeaway is that pull weight is the only objective handgun measurement related to arguing for an accidental discharge. In my view, that makes it the most important.

I'm sure many of us have at one time or another considered the benefits of trigger jobs on our handguns. Who wouldn't like a lighter, smoother trigger? Especially if it improves our accuracy. And then when we select our handguns for personal protection, especially in New Jersey, we consider the possible legal consequences of a modified trigger in the event the handgun is used in a real defensive shooting. On Glock Talk today I read a post by Massad Ayoob that pointed to another post he wrote on this subject four days ago. It was the most comprehensive point-by-point exposition on the topic that I have seen. It confirmed some notions I had, and dispelled others. I thought it was worth reading for anyone who has a handgun they will rely on in a self-defense situation. http://smith-wessonforum.com/concealed-carry-self-defense/419191-facts-about-light-trigger-pull-liability.html

Glad you're enjoying it. I do too. When appropriate, try to mount the light rail on the barrel. Some of the S&W rails were not machined to tolerance and will not lock up tight when screwed on. The set screws bottom out before the rail is tight. If this happens, the problem is the rail itself; not the barrel or the set screws. Get a new one from S&W. The Voice Of Experience.

They're now back to $20. Must have been a timed sale.

I don't know about the mule, but it doesn't kick worse than a pissed wife. And my wife shot one without any problem.

The S&W 325 Thunder Ranch is a Performance Center 6-round moon clip revolver that only weighs 31 oz. empty, due to its scandium alloy frame. It also has an optional rail to mount a light if you have to use it for SD.

No problem signing it right now. Sent a fax too.

Hahahaha! Ya' got me! Never gave it a thought. I was too focused on Bill Murray.

Hardly. Since it was the 40th anniversary month for Saturday Night (Live) I brought back a memory.

Three standard mags per pistol, plus three 10-round mags per pistol which 'standard' mags are over 10. That's for when the next NJ Democrat governor signs the 10-round limit bill.

Could we make a 21st century Sea Hunt show out of this? Does Lloyd Bridges have any living sons? Quién es más macho? http://norewardisworththis.tumblr.com/post/64845798933/snl-quien-es-mas-macho-sketch-from-2-17-19

Good catch and point Bob. Subtlety is the crowbar of conversion.

From the usual suspects, if you care to vote. http://www.nj.com/cumberland/index.ssf/2015/02/poll_is_educating_children_about_gun_safety_a_good.html#incart_related_stories

I had the opportunity Wednesday to at least dry fire a PPQ M1. Those who rave about the PPQ trigger weren't exaggerating. At least as far as my trigger finger is concerned.

Having a monitoring service is optional. You can rely on neighbors to hear a siren, or send messages to yourself and you can call the cops. That doesn't cut it for me. The alarm service doesn't know if I'm home or not. Or my wife. Only the system status. And sometimes when we're home, the system is 'armed - away'.

Be sure to look at SuretyDIY. They use primarily 2GIG equipment. But the main thing is that their monthly monitor charge for a full two-way cellular connection with voice and all most all the features at alarm.com is less then $30/month. And NO contract. Their support is also excellent. if you don't know it already, almost every alarm company is reselling alarm.com's infrastructure and network, and this is the best price I found anywhere for the full package. The 2GIG equipment is non-proprietary (unlike Simpli Safe), so you can change vendors if necessary. I ordered a system and they set the whole thing up before it arrived. I just placed sensors wherever I wanted. I've already added some more stuff. Do your homework before you sign up for a contract. And look at the total cost of the engagement over time. http://suretydiy.com/ http://www.alarm.com http://www.2gig.com And no, he's not my cousin.

Just for comparison purposes, my wife and I don't use Smart Phones, don't access the web etc. We only need the phones for convenience and emergency phone calls, and an occasional text message. This month we will both renew our Tracfones for another year of service for the equivalent of $4.16/month. Her phone is serviced through the Verizon network, and mine through AT&T.

Some of us will need to see a legal opinion on this. If M855 is classified as armor piercing will possession of it now be a felony in NJ? I haven't reread the statute yet, but I believe 'armor piercing' ammo is prohibited in NJ.
