Sig discontinued the platinum elite. It's probably going to be harder to find later on.

I'm 100 % sure it's Ramsey Paramus. I once walked up to the firearms department asked if they didn't have a gun in stock what would the avg turn around be from order to delivery. The salesman told me "it depends where u order from sometimes they can search a computer and tell you where the inventory is". WTF? Wasn't I asking u about your store? What an a** backward way to do business. They don't even try to sell or transfer anything there.

I'm new to firearms, but everytime I see a gorgeous pistol displayed with an ugly pen wedged through the trigger I automatically scroll past. Seriously a disposable pen? Why do people do that?

Don't do it. Just look google crime in NJ. Essex county especially NWK is the worst. I've lived next to NWK in Jersey City all of my life. I recently was followed home from exchange place where I work to midtown jersey city. Some NWK scumbags tried to carjack me at gunpoint. Mind u I only know where they are from because police did chase them to NWK. I would never want anyone to feel threatened liked that. I wasn't even anywhere near NWK and I can tell u I'd never want to be there. That place is a breeding ground for crime.

It was my first time there despite living less than 10 min away. The Caso crew was in the house. They even let me try some of their stuff. Good people good times.

I moved back to NJ from CA 6 years ago and still wished I was back there. Nothing compares to the positive attitude Californians have. Good luck back here. We should plan a Denny's meet one day

Welcome back. Which part of CA?

Went last week. Staff is definitely top notch. I actually purchased my first firearm from Heritage in Rahway a month ago and decided to check the Easton location out. I ended up spending close to 3.5 hours in there with over 2 hours down range. By far my best range and shop experience. Went late on a Sunday and even with NICS closed the staff was more than welcome to answer any questions. I defiantly like doing business with them.

No wonder lawyers make a ton a money. Even w/ the video plain as day everyone has a different point of view. Noone can be certain of the suspects intentions, but as NJZED said bringing a pipe bender to a fast food restaurant + ignoring police commands + eating a tazer THEN turning for a swing should be more than enough to warrant deadly force.

I heard it too, but thought I was being paranoid. Thank goodness I logged into a gun forum and realized I wasn't

I went through a similar situation about a month ago. After feeling the glocks comforming grips and reasonable creepless trigger reach I initially favored the Glock 17. I ended up buying the Sig 226 simply because it felt as good as it looked. I still shoot my friends Glock 17 just as much as the Sig. I've always admired how easy it was to get that trigger break on the Glock, but after consistently shooting both I'm glad I went with the Sig. My groups with the Sig on SA were originally not as accurate as the Glock, but after alot of practice I got more accurate and faster with the Sig. It's a completely different feeling between both pistols. I'm just alot more excited to get the Sig in my hand than I'll ever get with the Glock.

That's like putting a type r sticker on a Porsche.

Not sure if this is a repost. Seems rather gimmicky.

Picked up 200rds alongside 100 addition range ammo of WWB and Rem UMC from Dicks. The same day I went to bullet hole and applied everything on this post to the my 1st day experience. I noticed my groups would generally stay in decent collective shape within 6 - 7 yards, but for some reason i was hitting bottom left. I switched to my friends glock 17 and immediately hit each desired target dead center. I almost feel like the glock 17s longer yet more deliberate grip width helped manage some of my natural flaws. The single action on my Sig was noticably harder for me get used to as the break distance in comparison w/ the glock trigger is substantially different. There's nothing wrong w/ the Sig, but i know it's not going to be as easy to get used to as that glock. Should i just get used to the stock e2 grips or switch up to something wider (hogue aluminum or NILS wood grips) knowing the glock is more suitable for my hand? Im not trying to buy my way into better accuracy. I simply feel like my hand may be too large for the smaller profile e2 grips. I've found the following article which im sure is exactly what im doing being a new shooter. Please correct me if im wrong. Thanks =) http://www.pointshooting.com/1alow.htm

My Sig 226

Woah. That's alot of very helpful and well thought information there Wombat =) Much appreciated. I must say i never thought a gun forum would have this much constructive and positive sense of community. I have been following through w/ single action only while dry firing snap caps at home. I take a half breathe out and try to keep consistency w/ my finger placement and angle. I've also taken your penny advise, but used a snap cap instead. My grip is perhaps 60/40 or at least 50/50 during double action. I focus mainly on my middle finger and ring finger for grip balance similar to how hickok demonstrated in his videos. Mind you i have no idea how recoil feels so this is simply preliminary or foreplay before my first time unloading *pun intended*. I only hope when the time comes im not way off the mark and I keep a basic understanding of what I can do and need to improve in. Oh my Sig doesn't have a beavertail and already had E2 grips from the factory. I just found these piranha grips from hogue and seriously thinking of getting this tonight. http://www.hoguestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7092 I'll post pics of my pistol when i get home later tonight. Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the vids. I love Hickok videos. Hickok actually got me interested in the XDM 5.25, but i decided on the Sig instead. He definately holds his dominant thumb though. I've actually tried that grip and felt the web of my dominant hand pushing up on the backstrap more, but when i pull the trigger i see my sight move a slightly. I don't think it's my pistol grips. The sig definately feels wider than the XDM, and Springer 1911's with the exception of HK P30L which just fits like a glove. Im pretty sure my technique is off. I've been using these vids as my primary online sources for thumbs forward grip position. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTVeVKMLro8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdDFA9EtFc4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm9uG5bPubw

LOL i don't think it's discipline. I just don't want to start off on the wrong foot and let myself grow into bad habit =)

Hey guys, I just purchased my first handgun. A Sig P226 two tone. My question is for grip point of reference. I'm just dry fire practicing with no intention of getting ammo till I feel 100% confident in my weapon handling habits. I've been using weaver stance with thumbs forward grip. It seems my thumbs never really get in line with my slide like alot of YouTube vids. Does anyone have a good reference point for gripping the pistol? Most online sources say the takedown lever is good, but for some reason my thumb go past the takedown if it were completely straight. Oh btw I'm looking for good training and leaning towards gun for hire as my initial course. Thanks all:)

Yah im thinking of getting the same 5.25 in bitone from A&A. Is the 5.25 really worth it compared to the 4.25? It's going to be my first firearm for range & HD.

Thanks nj22. I called earlier and they said everything from state came back good and come by Tuesday or Wednesday for my permit. I'll be on the 3 week boat as well even despite the holiday. This forum is an invaluable resource

Did u guys call Eerie street PD weekly inquiring about your permits or was a letter sent to your residence?

no worries. I thought u were referencing Paul from arms and ammo.

Lol I knew that. These delays make u doubt in anything. I thought FID never expires. I guess since I never picked it up 5 years ago it wasn't finalized. Anyways they never said I was denied so hopefully I'll be a proud member and owner soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome. My name is Pat from midtown I actually originally applied for my FID back in 2006, but didn't proactively seek to continue until recently. I paid the 18 dollar reprocess fee about 2.5 weeks ago and the Eerie st PD said they are just waitin for the yellow card. Anyone know what they mean by that?
