Then your pain is all the more acute. Mine was relieved somewhat recently when I also became a resident of PA, where under the most adverse circumstances I can purchase a firearm in less than an hour. And have a LTCF. And by 'newbie' I was really referring to all the NJ legal firearm bull shit.

NJSP in the 00s. My first FID and permits application was in Madison in the early 70's. Took over three months. In that case when, after getting the run around on several occasions, I called and asked to speak to the Chief, suddenly the permits would be ready the next day. I still remember when I walked in there to submit my applications. The first question was "What do you want a gun for?".

Yes it was. And calling made no difference.

What PD is it? BTW, since you're apparently a newbie to all this, in some cases 1-2 months is breathtakingly fast. In my lifetime in NJ I have waited anywhere from five days to seven months. The bulk of the waiting periods were skewed towards the longer.

Good catch. Missed the 'custom' part. But interestingly that SKU doesn't show up on a search of either the CZ or CZ Custom websites. Other SKUs do, but not that one. There's one on Gun Broker for $1,399. At least that seems reasonable given today's market.

I have done business with Omaha Outdoors. Consequently they send me product emails. Today I received one that included a CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Custom 18 RD 9mm Dual Tone Pistol for the bargain price of... $1,799! This pistol was available for $1,134 a year ago. So I went to the CZ website, and they show this pistol with an MSRP of $1,349 which comports with the street price last year. (I'm assuming if they bumped the MSRP in the last 12 months they would show it.) Then I looked to the OO website to find that they consider the 'list' price of it to be... $2,248.99! Talk about price gouging! And lying to boot! Just an FYI. (For Your Irritation)

Fair enough. I have a .380 EZ for introducing newbies to handguns so we can get right to it. My suggestion would be no thumb safety. With the mandatory grip safety, and proper handling and holstering, you don't need it. It's an additional checkpoint on your training list, and something sometimes forgotten in the heat of a moment.

How long has she been trying your 17? My wife was like that initially, but got over racking slides within a month or two. Now there are very few she has trouble with. In my experience knowing that you can do it is half the battle. Until that happens people tend to be tentative handling the slide.

Here's an article today on Bitcoin. What's It Good For? More importantly, what it's not good for.

Could be very hand during a riot! From the product page: Never Shine the light directly in someone's eyes

By the way, this is a real product. It's not the full size AR type mat, it's 11x17".

A Christmas Stocking Stuffer for your Progressive Liberal Friends.

Life has its disappointments. But not at .60/round!

Well this morning my several product alerts tell me that all manner of 9mm at TSUSA is still .60/round. Just an FYI. (For Your Irritation)

Possibly more lucrative than Medicare!

Imagine if Biden becomes President the irony of a Hi-Point 995FS (or any other model) being an NFA item.

Didn't see a Bond movie with that in it but did see it in Contact, which I liked. I wonder if they did any cable maintenance over the decades? It was still in use, wasn't it?

For comparison purposes. Colt CR6920 M4 Carbines in stock. At $2K.

I might have an odd photo or two. I didn't take many in those days, but I'll look.

Ahh the Netcong circle. Back when on route 80 all points west led to "Netcong"!

So I'll take a break from the election ruckus to speak to the car guys on the forum. Yes, I know you're out there. My first car was a 1970 Olds 442. 455 CUI, Hurst 4-speed with the velvet T-handle on the shifter, and Cragar mags. Black with red pin striping and a white vinyl interior. When I ordered it I wanted the W30 forced air option, but it was too late in the production cycle and I couldn't get it. Oh well. I still loved that car. When I drove it down St. Catherine St. in Montreal it stopped foot traffic at the red lights. Might as well have been a Ferrari. When I saw Eastwood in Gran Torino I identified. Of course my story was totally different, but the car was a classic. So here you go. The last forgotten muscle car: the Buick Century GS Stage 1 455

Don't bet on it.

We all do it. Thanks. I'm checking them out.

LVPO? Haven't heard that acronym before. Is it supposed to be LPVO? (Low Power Variable Optic) Haven't heard that either, but when I searched that's what came up.
