P365 BB Pistol
Yes, you need a P2P to buy a BB pistol. NICS applies as well. FID and NICS to buy a BB long gun.

Sig P320 X-Five Legion (tungsten infused grip module)
FWIW, I'm not usually "that" guy when I can help it, but... If it was ported it would limit what class it could run in as a gamer gun. It would, I believe, put it immediately into "Open" in which you'd be going up against full on race gun 2011's. This will allow it to run in Limited and Carry Optics (which is getting pretty popular). It's more versatile this way. You can always add a threaded barrel or have it ported pretty inexpensively.

ZEV Modular Build Kit - Hmmmmmmmmm...
I believe he's talking about the gun staying flatter on the shot. Not that the ammo is flying flatter.

You're a bit far. Considering buying and building. How do you like it? Any significant recoil reduction over a poly-Glock? Smooth? Any issues with it so far?

Anyone played with one? Looks like a really cool deal. Kind of like a 2011 with less fitting and (potentially better) Glock reliability. http://www.zevtechnologies.com/OZ9-Modular-Build-Kit-Gray

Area 51 --- Sept. 20th --- Who's in?
I get it. It seems kind of funny. Apparently started strictly as a click-bait for likes. However what if folks actually show up? What would the USAF do? I was stationed on Fort Hood. The live fire ranges are not a joke. There is lots of ordnance that has not detonated laying about. Additionally, if you're in there singly you are in essence indistinguishable from the targets that the fighters use. There are man shaped targets that get heated for thermal live fire exercises. That's all you would be to a fighter overhead. Or, in the case of Ft. Hood, a Bradley. Eeeeeshhhh... Hard pass.

USPSA Class w/ DVC Performance
So, first off, let me take a moment to thank @Pizza Bob and @ronhonda for their advice and guidance in choosing Aaron at DVC Performance for my intro to USPSA class today. I emailed Aaron several weeks ago. I do not have time this summer to compete in FT/R as it's an all day affair with the drive down to Cumberland (I'm in Bergen Cty) and a full day of shooting. My family time is just too important to me and my wife and I have really been enjoying our time together on Sundays. Since I don't make a living at shooting, I've decided to call this summer a wash and pick up handgun competition in the fall at Tenafly. And, although I have no desire to get to a Master or Grand Master status, part of enjoying myself is being at least somewhat proficient at whatever I'm doing. I've always been a fan of classes and education in general (high school not withstanding) and PB and Ronny were very helpful in pointing me toward a proficient teacher. All that to say that after emailing Aaron, and several emails in between, we settled on a date and I started to prepare. I brought: Lunch Water Sunscreen Extra clothes (JIC) Gun/belt/holster and pouches Tools for repair/maintenance Cleaning supplies for gun 500 rounds of ammo (I didn't use it all) A willing attitude and an open mind Aaron supplied the rest. We went over some basic safety when we got on the range and from there proceeded to work from the base on up. We started with natural point of aim and establishing a firm shooting stance. We also worked on grip and he offered several little tips which, when I applied them, really made a difference. I changed the position of my finger on the trigger and it also made quite a difference. Shortly thereafter we put the rubber to the road and started with livefire. Aaron is extremely safety conscious but not overbearing. If I committed an infraction he didn't yell or give me grief, he simply mentioned that "In IPSC/USPSA this is how to avoid a DQ" and I would start over. We started out with one shot on paper as he checked to see if I know how to shoot (I don't) and how well my pistol functioned. The gun did well enough at 10 yards but it opened up at 25 so much so that he had me shoot his gun to see if it is me or my gun/ammo. We determined that I'm actually, marginally, more accurate than my ammo. Plated bullets are the culprit and not good past 10, maybe 15 yards (I will be changing my load shortly). Once that was sorted we started working on shooting one, then 2 rounds on target. Then we started working on splits. Then on to transitions. Then stringing together splits and transitions. After a good session of livefire, we backed off a bit and worked on holster draw which we had touched briefly on in the beginning and then to reloads. Last was the real test. Aaron set up a small course of fire and had me run it. He filmed it (I didn't see it and I'm fine with that) and we considered what I did incorrectly. He then ran it and showed me what could be improved on. He is considerably more efficient than I am, which came as no surprise to either of us. And so I learned. 10 minutes to debrief and we wrapped it up. Aaron kept the class moving without rushing and is a master at keeping it light and fun. And fun... that's why I shoot. It's a lot of fun. All in all, a really solid class and a great day on the range running my gun as quickly as I could. FUN. Oh, I had my first squib ever. Crazy how fast it happened and how neither of us heard it. Thankfully all was well as it was essentially just jammed in the end of the chamber. No harm, no foul. http://dvcperformance.com/

If you’re anywhere near me let me know. You’re welcome to shoot mine and see how you like it.

Building a... (gulp!) Glock
I have a Carver Custom on mine. I got the one with a set screw. I like it a bunch. You will need a lighter spring, just so you know. 13lbs seems to be the trick. Some comps look better. They all seem to do pretty much the same job. Also, KKM makes a barrel with a proprietary thread pitch. If you get it you will pretty much need to run their comp. they also make a barrel with the standard 1/2-28. Im running a Lone Wolf, mainly because I got a screaming deal on it. It seems to work well enough for my purposes. My one buddy likes the SilencerCo. stuff. Good luck.

Aha. Good to know. Thanks.

Issues with...? I’m assuming you mean rust. I keep it well wiped and lightly oiled. And this slide may get coated shortly anyway. I have another slide on the way. Solid advice tho.

Roughly 30 rounds. Mags were loaded with varying amounts. Reloading and pressing the trigger as quickly as was comfortable. 10 yards.

Wet Tumbling vs. Dry Tumbling
I like wet tumbling for my match rifle. I like the cleanliness of the primer pockets and don't mind the wait time. For pistol, meh... Not worth the effort.

You're right. I'm out.

NJSP building non-nfa opinion.
Regardless, it's gonna cost someone a ton of money to prove that what they're doing is legal. Most I know aren't willing to shell out that money. Honestly most I know just run at the mouth and when the laws change they're the first in line to comply.

NJSP building non-nfa opinion.
I'm pretty sure you're correct however when you go in front of a judge because you chose to snub their recommendation who do you think will hold more sway with the local justice? Honestly, "you" may win the war on this. But, in my opinion, you will lose many costly battles. I'm not saying you should not do something you want to do. Not at all. Just be well aware of the potential trouble you may get in to by doing it. ("YOU" was put in quotes because I don't mean you specifically, more a general purpose "you".)
