Either will work. Between the two you listed I would shoot the 1911. I shoot a stock Glock 35 with full power FMJ ammo and do OK.

Looking at photos I would venture to say that you should be good-to-go with the Wheaton device from a NJ legal standpoint.

Only if the adapter portion of the muzzle device is threaded. Some suppressors will attach to proprietary muzzle device/brake/comp without threads.

The NY Trigger spring was an independent action decided on by the "Perfumed Princes" of 1 Police Plaza. The bosses and FIs feared that Cops were too stupid to use anything other than a double action revolver and not have 10 NDs a day. They had the NY Trigger developed and installed to prevent the streets of NY running red with the blood of its citizens' flowing from wounds caused by Cops accidentally shooting everyone in sight.... It had nothing to do with fixing the problem NYPD was having with their Glocks malfunctioning.

What different set of parameters? Why? Enlighten me.

Does this pistol actually meet the State's definition of a "Personalized Handgun"? I can think of at least a half dozen ways that this thing can be fired by persons that are not authorized to do so. Based in the definition above, a "smart gun" is not automatically a "personalized handgun" in and of itself and in my opinion, which is worth what you pay for it, the firearm in question while being "smart" has not qualified itself as "personalized".

Scrap, are you on the Job? If so PM me please. Otherwise, your frame of reference is a bit off. I get what you are saying to a point but then you lose me. Mindset is paramount to winning, then quality training and finally equipment. Everyday I tell myself "today is the day" and my guys say it too - that points to mindset - "I will not lose". If it happens I like to think we are ready. If caught flatfooted I know we will turn it around and win. We treat everyday as if today is the day. Our gear is squared away, vests are on, and our thinking caps are on and we are switched to receive. As a Patrol Sergeant, SWAT Element Leader, and Firearms, Tactics, and Use of Force instructor I am here to tell you that the idea that the ability to share magazines with another person in a firefight should be a serious consideration when choosing a firearm is laughable. Reliability, mechanical accuracy, capacity, maintenance schedule, ammo choices, simple manual of arms, inherent shoot-ability, ergonomics/placements of controls, holsters available - these are the major concerns when choosing a duty weapon. First, as I stated it happens so rarely that it is a non-issue. Having the gun that I shoot the best in my hand during a gunfight is a better way to end a fight than having a gun I shoot with less ability but can share mags with a partner. Second, if we are in a gunfight, and you blasted through your entire basic load of ammo and I have some left - I am not giving it to you. You just blasted away 48 rounds without solving the problem we are in right now. Why would I think that giving you15 of my pills will change that? Third, when you run out of ammo are you going to be in a position to tell me you need more? Am I going to be able to get it to you? Fourth, if running out of ammo is a concern, carry an extra mag or two with you. It is the stuff of action movie fantasy. Could it conceivably happen? Yeah, I guess so. But the "A" answer is to not waste ammo, train, choose the gun you shoot best out of the options available to you, and carry a BUG and an extra mag.

That will never happen. The number of instances of the need to share magazines/ammo in a gunfight by CONUS LEO is so small as to be statistically negligible.

As stated, that is normal with the floating firing pin configuration of the M16 FoW. However it is something to be aware of as the necessary travel of the firing pin to ensure reliable ignition is measured in thousands of an inch. In Fall of 2008 a large California SWAT team had a failure to fire from an M4 ammo during an entry. Fortunately no officers were hurt and the suspect immediately threw down his weapon when the carbine went click instead of bang. After the incident was concluded, the team went to the range and expended the rest of their carbine ammo and had one additional failure to fire. This same team had 3 rounds fail to fire in training a couple of years ago. In all cases, there appeared to be good primer strikes, but no rounds fired. On analysis, the ammunition had powder and checked out otherwise. However, two problems were discovered. First, some of the primer strikes had insufficient firing pin indentations. The round from the potential OIS incident had a primer strike of only .013"—the minimum firing pin indent for ignition is .017". In addition, the primers on the other rounds were discovered to have been damaged from repeated chambering. When the same cartridge is repeatedly chambered in the AR15, the floating firing pin lightly taps the primer; with repeated taps, the primer compound gets crushed, resulting in inadequate ignition characteristics--despite what appears to be a normal firing pin impression. BOTTOM LINE - Once a round has been chambered, DO NOT RE-CHAMBER IT for duty or self defense use. Do NOT re-chamber it again, except for training. This is CRITICAL!!!

Excellent write up from the Doc. Sounds a lot like the advice I give here regularly Doc Roberts is a good dude. He has helped me a few times when choosing duty ammo and armor for my agency and he most certain not "just a dentist". Thanks for posting it here.

This is not a CCW Certification class. This class is about fighting with a pistol from concealment. I know that there is currently no CCW in NJ. That doesn't mean you shouldn't know how to fight from concealment if you carry a gun for self defense/home defense. You may home carry, you may travel and have non-resident CCW permits for other places. In any case, it never hurts to train under the eye of a professional trainer. I have taken classes with Joe in the past. He is an outstanding instructor. See here for an AAR on the last class I took with S&T: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/61042-aar-st-carbine-i-bethlehem-pa-sept-14-2013/#entry813115

Keep in mind that the ability of a break/comp to fulfill the shooters expectations is very personal/subjective. What I think works best with my particular rifle with my shooting style, my grip, my ability to control recoil, etc... may be the result of a very different interpretation of the effectiveness of a particular brake/comp than what you experience when shooting the same exact brake/comp. There are a few that are proven by most people to work - for example the BattleComp, PWS FSC556, KAC TripleTap, BCM Comp - but you will be hard pressed to get 3 shooters to agree on which is best amongst them. While we would all agree that each of them work, we would still argue about which one is actually the best. That being said, I have never heard of the Wheaton comp you are asking about. On my rifles I have 3 PWS FSC556s, 1 Troy Claymore, a BC 1.5 and 2 issued guns with A2 birdcages on them. Out of the bunch I like the BCM and PWS FSC556 the best and I really see/feel very little subjective difference between them. Definitely not an $80 difference (FSC ~$100 and BC ~$180) Subjectively, to me the FSC556 seems to keep the muzzle just a bit flatter during rapid firing, but has a bit more side blast. The BC has less felt recoil but doesn't flatten the muzzle as well. I like them both and would put either on my rifles. But, given the price difference, I think I will stay with the FSC556 for now. Remember, the efficiency of a brake can be modeled on a computer, it's abilities to reduce muzzle climb or felt recoil can be measured in a lab, but ultimately the performance of a particular device is subjective to the individual shooter - since everyone feels recoil differently and to different degrees. The only real way to determine which break is the "best" - to you - is to shoot them both side by side on identical guns with ammo from the same lot and then make a decision based on your subjective impressions of each. In the end, the brake that feels the "best" to you may be my least favorite.

I did the same. I needed an Aimpoint T1 adjustment cap and wanted to make my order more than the shipping costs. So I was poking around their website and found the deal - so I bought 5.

It's a Stag and therefore not built to the TDP. Stating it is 5.56 rated and actually being 5.56 rated are two entirely different things. Get someone to ream the chamber to 5.56x45 specs and I bet you will be amazed at how much material needs to be removed. I am not saying that is what caused the problem since you were shooting .223, just saying to be aware.

usnmars, Did you have anyone take you up on your gracious hospitality?

Had two tears repaired in November. Still not 100% - I have good days and bad days. Still pretty weak, doc said it is normal to take a year before you feel yourself again. The best advice I can give you is do your PT. Make it your new religion. Good luck!

Excellent! Thank you sir!

SG, Can you post the flyer here for those of us that don't use Bookface? Thanks!

A million - If the shotgun is mounted properly and you are shooting appropriate loads. Keep in mind that this design is intended for breaching not fighting. That means the system is designed to shoot breaching loads, not to be a fighting shotgun shooting 3" magnums. Manipulations on both platforms become more complicated and there is no way to really aim the shotgun accurately. It is actually easier and let's you accomplish each job - breaching & fighting - more efficiently to carry the two platforms separately. Most guys I know (me included) choose to carry an AOW or SBS for dedicated breaching duties and a retain a lighter handier rifle for fighting. An AOW or SBS something like this: carried weak side on your armor or back works very well. Accordingly this "Master key" type set up sees little use outside of dedicated breachers. You can see the mounts here: Remington MCS system: Knights Armament Co "Masterkey": This is the latest iteration of this concept - the M26: By all accounts (my brother was issued one in SRT training for a a while) it is an abortion of a weapon that does nothing well.

KAC makes/used to make a kit called the "Master Key" and the Remongton 870 MCS that the Army uses has the parts to attach a breaching shotgun to an AR. Or you could use a Mossberg like Billy in Predator: If you follow what 302w said and use an 18" barreled pump gun you should be good to go. It's just gonna be heavy.
