FiveseveN, love it but....
Ammo availability was the reason I did not pick one of these guns up yet. I've wanted one for a while, but not being able to feed it would make for a very expensive paperweight...so I've been sticking to calibers I already own for the time being. I WILL own one, someday....

If you COULD ccw...?
Well, at home, I'm currently (open) carrying a Sig P226, and whenever I get my permits ( ) I'll have a Sig P2022 that will likely become my primary carry gun around the house. I'll probably also be getting a P228 and P220 soon...ish....all of which I expect to carry at home. If I had the option of CCW in this state, I'd likely carry the P2022 or P228/P229 most of the time...the P220, P226, and 1911 might all enter the circulation as well...though I would also consider an FN Five-seveN if I ever get one. Honestly, I dunno how I'd feel about carrying a larger pistol concealed...but I'm fairly certain I'd like it better than the tiny pocket guns I have handled. No idea what to tell you between your two choices, as I have not researched either...

CCI Stinger/Velocitor in .22LR pistols - any problems?
I've put over 1000 rounds of 1640-1750fps ammo in my Sig Mosquito, and a few hundred more through my gsg-522 with no issues...I can't promise your gun won't have issues, but I have no plans to stop using Stingers and other hypervelocity in any of my .22LR guns...that said...they will not be the only rounds I use in my guns, either...

Sig P229
They like to give you options? For example, I own the P226R, but I kinda wish I'd waited to find a slightly different model (like the Elite, because I love the grips, let alone the other features I would have liked). My next pistol will be a P220 Dark Elite, because I want the combination of features it offers (SRT, night sights, and thin aluminum grips, specifically). Different triggers, frame options, slide options, sights, grips, etc etc etc mean a gun will likely be exactly what you want. You might like the E2 grips, or the Scorpions with FDE frames, or the G10 grips of the Extreme, or maybe you want the DAK model. I'd rather have the thin aluminum grips in the original style design, black frame, SRT DA/SA trigger, and night sights... My Sig 1911 TTT is another thing...I wanted specific grips, night sights, Sig-esque slide design, and slide/frame colors...the number of flavors of 1911s is nearly limitless...Sig had the one I wanted...seems like they are doing things right with the options they offer. Except for the diamond plate and rainbow models, which I find hard to love....

Power is out, running on battery backup..
I run all APC models...two 1500s, a 1200, 1000, 900, 550s, and a few 350s for minor stuff. Gotta protect my computers, audio equipment, and TV. have owned other brands of UPSs and did not work as well as the APCs. Good luck with the power...

Realistic Next-Step Up from .22LR Rifle
My step after getting three .22LR rifles was to go to a Savage .223 bolt action. I also purchased a Mosin Nagant, which is dirt cheap, and ammo is extremely inexpensive when you get the mildly corrosive milsurp. You might want to look for something that can take .223 and 5.56mm....I often find better deals on the 5.56mm that my Savage can't use. The more common the caliber, the better off you'll be. Nothing will be .22 cheap, but common (especially milsurp) calibers will be available most places and will be cheapest. I am looking into various varmint rounds, from various .17s, .204, .243, .22-250, .220...but I think I'll stick to .223 for some time...and I did pick up another .22LR rifle in July...I still have fun with the .22s and I can get 500 rounds worth of trigger time for the same price as 50 rounds of .223...

In the market for a work knife
Big fan of the Spyderco Delica, Endura, Rescue(s), Native, Tasman and other knives in the Salt series.... Their Byrd line is even more affordable and has some great options, like the Cara Cara, Crossbill, Flight, Raven/Crow....

Unusual/cool guns
I like that it says "buy American 180 on Amazon" on the bottom. It has to be real fun loading 275 rounds of ammo into the magazine....

where to shoot shotgun
Could join easton fish and game off of 78 in pa. $60 for your first year and you get a 100yd slug range and 25ish yard anything else goes shotgun range for those dangerous pieces of paper. No skeet/trap there though. Guess it also depends on your definition of central jersey...

CCI Stinger/Velocitor in .22LR pistols - any problems?
They coulda called it Aguila super duper ultra maximum super high hyper ultra velocity. Id say they showed some restraint... Not nearly as bad as university of maryland university college, or whatever its called

CCI Stinger/Velocitor in .22LR pistols - any problems?
I've used a fair amount of Stingers through my Sig Mosquito - at least 700 rounds, and have yet to really see much in the way of unexpected wear anywhere, barrel, slide, or frame. My Mosquito seems to favor the Stingers, or maybe that's just my preference... I also run the standard spring, and have never encountered issues due to that. I've never installed the high velocity spring that was included with my gun. I've just ordered some of the Aguila 1700fps and 1750fps ammo that I'd like to put through my Mosquito...hope it likes them, because I bought 500 rounds of each type... Maybe in a few years, it will have more wear than it would have if I'd only ever run 'boring'/'normal' .22s...but so far, nothing I have noticed. Plus, the high velocity rounds make the Mosquito so much more fun....and still cheap to shoot.

NJGF Arms Race 2012
I haven't added any of my purchases since the beginning of this thread, where I mentioned my Savage 10FCP-K. I've added a Mosin Nagant a few months ago, Benelli Supernova Tactical two weeks ago, and a Henry H001 lever action earlier today. Putting in for permits for pistols in the next week or so, so I can get the FN 5-7 and hopefully P220 as well.

best way to attach a light?
Duct tape....of course! Always love that picture. I will look into the tape as a temporary solution. I would prefer a more permanent, solid solution if possible, however. Thank you for the help, sorry for the lack of a photo in the first post.

best way to attach a light?
I'd like to keep the flashlight clamp exactly where it is, and the flashlight roughly where it is as well. I think I need something using two cross bolts for greater surface contact/pressure on the magazine tube, similar to the Nordic clamp I have for the magazine tube.

best way to attach a light?
So, I finally got my Benelli Supernova tactical, which is my HD gun. I've got a Nordic +2 and Nordic magazine clamp on the gun. I also currently have a flashlight attached via an inexpensive fiberglass reenforced nylon screw-together clamp, usually intended for securing the magazine tube to the barrel. Took the gun to the range today, and put around 50 shells through, everything from 2 3/4" target loads through 3 1/2" 00 buck and 2 3/4" - 3" rifled slugs. Problem is, the flashlight clamp crept forward, moving about 2-3" forward, so that the clamp was halfway hanging off the 'edge' of the magazine extension by the 50th shot. The flashlight clamp had been attached securely (and remained so), enough that I was unable to push it back using both hands. (Granted, if I am going through that many rounds in a home defense situation, something is SERIOUSLY wrong...and a flashlight falling off the gun is probably no longer my biggest concern.) Since I want the flashlight to remain in exactly the position it is currently in (in line under the magazine tube), what is a good, sturdy flashlight clamp to attach the flashlight to the magazine tube? -The flashlight is a standard 1" tube, other side needs to attach to the Nordic +2 mag extension. -I'd like to avoid any rail-based system (I could get the rail for the Nordic magazine clamp, but that would position the flashlight to the side of the gun, where I do not want it) -I don't want cheap crap -Surefire does not make a pump fore end for the Supernova Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Airsoft is hard on the wallet
Similar to both, but based on the honor system. Cheaters are rooted out fast and either change their ways or are not welcomed back......though that is rare. Hit calling issues happen, but most people realize plastic BBs hitting gear after going through branches or leaves may not be felt...and you just keep shooting til it IS called...

Airsoft is hard on the wallet
Airsoft did originate in Japan, where citizens are not allowed to own real firearms (afaik). People wanted something as realistic as possible and airsoft was born...for years, I wanted guns, but did not have a FID and so I got involved with airsoft. Went from cheap plastic springers to guns worth as much as their real equivilents... Airsoftnj.com is the main forum for airsoft in this state, where you can find info on guns, accessories, upcoming games, and all that other forum-y goodness...as well as buy and sell airsoft guns and parts. Safety is an important part of airsoft, so we always stress safe handling and operation of airsoft guns at all times. Last thing anyone wants is kids playing at a local park and the cops coming out...it won't end well and that is exactly what everyone on the forums tries to ensure never happens...

You ain't kidding it's expensive.......... Now, if I could only get real versions of half of those in this state.... Also, in the future...for airsoft stuff, check into www.airsoftnj.com - sanctioned games are where all the cool kids play...

Help me build a precision rifle
I own the Savage 10FCP-K in .223. I have been extremely happy with the rifle. The accutrigger is nice and quite crisp. Sadly, i have never had the chance to shoot it over 100yds, but the rifle is capable of greater accuracy than my ability. I have a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 scope which i picked up used for dirt cheap. New, these scopes are around $400...so if you dont mind a used scope you can probably get a great deal. Www.bhphotovideo.com has a lot of options, though strangely not any nikon scopes. Harris benchrest is also on my savage...good choice. No idea on the stock, as i still have the original accustock on mine. Overall, i am happy with my purchase, but! I am fairly certain i will eventually pick up the rem700 as well because i will want to do mods to it that i believe are currently only available for those 700 models.
