https://www.facebook.com/ccnjairsoft Full disclosure: I'm on Cookie's team and am mildly biased...I've helped out a lot at that field over the years. Safety in airsoft is something we take very seriously at C&C. I am often a ref, either a dedicated ref walking around making things run smoothly, or an embedded ref, who will look for problems as I play. The majority of players at C&C are experienced players, but we do always get some new players. Most people are good about trigger discipline, safety is stressed at every game, and players will quickly correct players who act in an unsafe manner. Staging area is a no mags, no shooting zone. You may be swept a bit, that is the biggest thing that I notice, and that's going to be a hard habit to break for all the players, since there are often a lot of people in a small area. We do try to ensure everyone has barrel condoms, which help prevent NDs in staging. Stryker in Hackettstown is an OK place. However, I refuse to play with the little kids, and that means I'll never go on a weekend... The crowd that comes to the veteran's night (Thursdays) has certainly changed since the place opened, and I rarely go to Stryker anymore. I had fun in the past, but it has certainly changed in the last year or two... The community in NJ has grown apart over the years...since Freehold closed in 2007?8?...there is no longer a central place for all of NJ...now it is mostly north Jersey or South Jersey players, and people stay to their areas in general... That said, the community of players in NNJ who play at C&C is quite strong, as far as I am concerned. If you do come out to C&C, let me know... I am "Malice" out on the field...

Only on days that end in "y" I always wonder if/how they track who links them...like if they see a bunch of clicks from njgunforums, if they just quickly bury the poll since the results won't follow their bias...

I guess the photographer was scared that a tripod and remote control for the camera might get damaged...

Yeah... Plus side, she can't wait for me to take her shooting, so she should be coming out to one of these shoots one of these days...

I'm out...I may be on the wrong end of a shotgun this weekend (meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time...) Have fun and be safe...

I don't think I saw it anywhere in the thread...but spend an extra $2/4/6 and get some extra permits...never know when you might find something else you gotta have, and then if you use your one permit, there's another few months of waiting....vs 30 days... I did find something sad while going through my paperwork for filing, an unused permit...permit #4 from the last time I applied... Thankfully, I did use the other three.

I've seen a huge increase in the number of massive, DEEP potholes this winter....many of them half-lane wide or worse...meaning you are going to have to go into the opposite lane, stop in the road if there's oncoming traffic, or if you're brave/dumb/oblivious, ride through it... I'm surprised I haven't been pulled over for "drunk driving" this winter for all the swerving I'm doing all over the road. I am constantly weaving all over my lane (and often into other lanes as needed) to avoid the never-ending attack on my tires, rims, and suspension. I'm amazed that the people ahead of or behind me often don't even avoid the craters potholes, and watching their cars rattle and shake from hitting them all makes me cringe... I'm really glad that I decided to stick with 16" rims for my winter tires, and not go to 17s for winter and 18s for summer...that little bit of extra rubber seems to help...

Savage rifles are nice guns - I have the 10FCP-K and a 93R17TR (big brother of the Mark II), and both are capable of better accuracy than I am. Back when I bought my first .22 rifle, I got a Marlin XT-22. I love the rifle, but I do wish I'd waited instead of rushing in. (If I were to do it again, I'd go Savage Mark II heavy barrel of some sort, or at least the XT-22 with a heavy barrel.) I'm a big fan of heavy barrels. You may find that in the future, you wish you'd gotten a heavy barrel, or maybe prefer the stainless barrel, or like the wood stock better. Whatever Mark II you get, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just give some thought to features that may not matter to you now that you might change your mind about in the future.

I've had nothing but good luck with my fullsize Sig 1911 TTT. I got it off gunbroker a few years ago for around $900 shipped, because I wanted that exact model. You may be able to find a new or lightly used Sig 1911 online for near your price - I haven't looked at Sig 1911 pricing online since I bought mine. I'd at least give them a look - I <flame suit on> prefer the looks of the Sig-esque 1911 I have over most of the more traditional 1911s out there. <flame suit off> I do wish Sig made a 6" or even 7" 1911...I've had a thing for those recently... Good luck in your search

Far as I can tell, the 5.11 belts with permastiff are a sandwich of leather, the permastiff insert, then leather, all sewn together. The permastiff material seems to be a plastic or other heavy duty material that does not flex and keeps things secure without the belt rolling over, and is not removable. I've had belts before that couldn't handle the weight of a single Leatherman Wave without rolling over. I've got a full size 1911 in a Serpa on today and the 5.11 belt isn't going anywhere.

My suggestion above is to quickly find the optimum eye relief of the scope, for one where you don't have the information available in front of you. For me, it allows me to quickly gauge where I think the scope should be positioned based on my cheek weld with the gun, and then I fine tune from there, more or less using your method. If I am introducing a new shooter to the rifle/scope, I will use my flashlight method to show them where they should put their eye...I've seen people searching for a long time to try to find where they should place their head and look through the scope, this has been a very quick way to show them and they find that sweet spot in a few seconds now.

I've worn one of two 5.11 gun belts with the permastiff inserts for a number of years, and I've been very happy with them. As I write this, I have my phone, Sig Pro 2022 in a Serpa (and 14rds of 9mm), Leatherman Wave, and spare mag on my belt with no sagging/flopping. Price is right on them, too. I don't remember exactly how old the belts are, but they have lasted years...I can usually destroy a belt in a year or two...I'm thinking these are 3-4+ years old, maybe even older. Only thing I can "complain" about is the permastiff insert cracked near the holes on onew of them, so the belt has more flex there. However, it still holds just fine and is 100% useable.

I seem to be on a Nikon kick, so whenever I get my PTR, I'm thinking one of the Nikon M308 scopes will be on the short list. I'm also thinking about one of the fixed 10x scopes I came across when searching for scopes for my .17, that just weren't appropriate for my uses with that caliber. I currently have a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 and Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 on my better [bolt] rifles, and I will be upgrading other rifles to Nikon glass in the future. I just can't get into the original G3 scopes...I like a nice big objective lens with some serious magnification. It's a problem, because the same applies to my camera lenses...

As said above, it depends. DO NOT LOOK INTO THE SCOPE WHEN DOING THE FOLLOWING. A decent single-emitter/bulb flashlight can show you where the focus point (i.e. where you're gonna want your eye) of a scope is. Shine the flashlight into the front objective of the scope, and take a piece of blank white paper and move it behind the scope's rear eyepiece, starting from say an inch from the eyepiece, and moving farther away. At some point, the projected light on the piece of paper should be a pinpoint. That is your optimum spot for a proper sight picture. Adjust the position of the scope accordingly and there you go. Just turn off the flashlight before you look through the scope to verify it's in the right position... After that, simply make sure there is no "black crescent moon" shape in your sight picture through the scope, that indicates you are not centered behind the scope - you should get a full circular sight picture from the scope. If you shoot without getting a proper sight picture through the scope, your shots will be off.

I kind asked about this in a topic a while ago. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/62808-hypothetical-situation/?view=findpost&p=801565 I'd feel anything I could do to stop an active shooter is something I'd have to do morally...and eff the consequences. If that means using my car as a battering ram, a pocketknife if I think there's some kind of opportunity/chance, or the gun from my car. I'm obviously not going to CCW/OC into a locked down mall to "help" the cops who already had control of the mall. like that guy did l a few months ago, but if there were someone actively targeting or shooting innocents, my inaction might mean minutes of that gunman being able to carry out an attack before the official first responders could get there. I'd like to think I wouldn't just run away. I hope to never find out how I'll react. Since I cannot CCW here, then a rifle or shotgun in the trunk is an option I'd consider, and did do for a while. I took the rifle out of the trunk before going to NYS for an event, and never put the gun back in the car - more because of the school zone issue than anything else. It's not that I intentionally go to schools, but if something caused me to have to stop/deviate/turn around on school property, it could potentially cause serious problems for me. Every single direct way I can leave my house has a school along the road - and my luck would be that's where I get the flat tire. I've been weighing if that potential for issues is worth the slight chance I'd ever have to use the gun for a bug out or active shooter situation. I wanted a AR-7 as a BOB/trunk gun for a while, but I like the idea of that folding carbine more and more as I think about it. I may go that route in the future if I decide to put a gun back in the car.

Damn right it is, to both questions. The real value is in the fine craftsmanship of my item. It took me nearly MINUTES to complete that. Do YOU have minutes? Yeah, I didn't think so. Look at the perfectly matching lettering, the beautiful shape that could be the state of New Jersey (or outline of a food spill), the fine detail work. Never before has such attention to detail been put on aluminum. It is fine art at its finest.

I got tired of waiting, so I made up my own. It is made of genuine aluminum, and features an adhesive backing. This one-of-a-kind, hand-made logo will make you look stylish while you wear your tinfoil hat, and will let everyone know where you stand on the issues. I can label this as "1 of 1 - LIMITED EDITION" to let everyone know just how exclusive the collectible item really is. For an additional $25, I can put your name on this priceless work of art. I will be holding a silent auction for this item, opening bid of $100. PM ME with your bid. Notice: since this item contains the word gun, I can only transfer this item at a range or FFL. (I never claimed to be an artist...)

Olight M21 or M22 models might meet your needs. I know my M21 came with a remote switch, though I do not use it so I'm not certain if it is momentary or on/off. My older model M21 outputs 600-650 lumens, I forget exactly, but it throws plenty far enough that targets can be easily ID'ed at 100+ feet. M22 and current M21 came out a little after I bought my M21, and both the current M21 and M22 are also more powerful than mine... I run an Olight M20 on my Benelli Supernova HD shotgun, I have been very happy with it. I have an Olight T20 on my Stevens 320 HD shotgun for the time being, though I plan to get a different light for that in the future. I might buy the M22 for general use, put the M21 onto the Supernova, and move the M20 onto my Stevens.

I had the choice for a G22/G23 Gen3 or Gen4 last year, and went for the 23 Gen4 for exactly the reasons above - but, more than anything else, because of the dual RSA. I have fairly large hands, and the G23 Gen4 fits me well, and the texture is aggressive without being 'painful' after a day of shooting. Interchangeable backstraps and the ability to switch the mag release are nice, but not something I care about since mine is staying stock. I'm happy for the people who want or need those options that now have them... Unless I were to get a good deal on an older Glock, I'm only really interested in Gen4 models.

Not sure about for a 9mm, but I've heard that the .40 Gen4 Glocks have a different, less harsh recoil compared to Gen3. I've only owned/shot Gen4 Glock .40s (My G23, friends G22), but the recoil spring assembly of the Gen4s leads me to believe it. I'm confident that the 9mm will have some improvement in a Gen4 as well. FWIW, I want a Glock 20, and I'm only considering a Gen4 for that same reason... I'm sure if you ask and pay the (I believe) $10 extra for a second shooter at RTSP, someone would offer to let you shoot their gen4 17...worth a try?

Did the form say it is a REQUIREMENT you have an additional background check, even if you do not apply for anything like pistol permits? Normally, once you have the FID, you're good. The only times you typically need to do anything else is if you apply for a replacement FID (like change of address) or when you get more pistol permits. There is no requirement for additional background checks after 2 years (except of course the standard NICS at point of sale from an FFL) for holding an FID. NJ CCW might, but since no one has one, that is irrelevant. Not all departments have migrated to this as of yet, so some towns can only use paperwork at this point. You can always check with your department beforehand so you don't waste money on a money order for nothing...

This thread has gotten me to consider having the slide of my Sig Pro 2022 done in something new. I went to Cerakote's website and ordered some free sample swatches a couple days ago, and they arrived here today. I'm really liking both the Tungsten and the Titanium...so I'm hoping to get the slide done in the not-too-distant future. That 226 looks great - I'm diggin' it...

Ahh yes, the deadly assault weapon that is the Red Ryder BB gun... I loved this commenter:

I got into the wrong line of work, apparently. I'm already an asshole on the phone, and I sure don't get no $6000 for a few hours of calling people I've never gotten one of these calls, but I'm fairly certain I'd just keep laughing at them. I'd happily keep them on the line for as long as possible, wasting their time while they think they can get something out of me. On a slightly related note, one of my favorite trolling the scammers stories is the "Anus Laptop" saga. (It's a lot funnier than the name might suggest - the Nigerians spelled "Asus" wrong.)

Maybe some people should have the logo embossed on some tin foil.
