Congratulations on your new pet! What are you going to name him?

Thank you.

Very good to hear. Hope it keeps going like that.

I definitely will. I cannot wait to try it out.

Well that stinks. I'm hoping that particular rep is mistaken and that I'll be able to get a .45 kit. .357 sig could be interesting though.

Got it at Simon Peter.

I was first interested in the P250, which is very similar, but hammer fired. Trigger pull was about a mile long. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that this trigger was so highly regarded. I can't wait to try it out.

I just picked up my first poymer striker fired hand gun. My first Sig, too. I read many positive reviews, Hickok 45 loved it, maybe as much or more than his Glocks. I like that the fire control group is the serialized part, so that I can get a conversion kit and essentially have a new gun. Hope to get a .45 ACP conversion next. Here's a pic of what I got. Compact frame in 9mm. Hope to get to the range this weekend for a full report.

One of the maintenance guys at work is a carpenter/finish trim guy. I'm going to pick his brain about reshaping it.

I have an older Springfield that I bought used. I'm almost positive that the trigger has had some work. Everyone that tries it out loves it. I also have a Para Expert 14.45. I am really enjoying it so far, though I do have a few minor upgrades in mind in the future. For the price, I hear nothing but good things about the Ruger. I will have one eventually since I don't have a stainless steel commander style gun. Also to consider are the Rock Island guns. they are low cost but not low quality. Also, I find the Armscor in .22 tcm intriguing, although I need another caliber like I need a hole in the head. they do come with a 9mm barrel, though. As far as revolvers, I have a S&W 586. the Ruger GP 100 is nice too.

I bought an m70 npap a few months ago, and didn't think the high comb on the butt stock would be an issue. Well, I was wrong. I was wondering if anyone has ever recontoured their existing stock and refinished it, and how it came out. I've been looking around and there is an adapter from Krebs , but I don't know what else is necessary. I want to keep a wood stock, not into plastic on an AK. Looking at the wooden stock sets that are available for the npap, they appear to have the same profile as what is already on the rifle. Please help a nOOb out.

I was quite surprised how well the double stack para feels to me. I have smallish hands, and didn't think I'd enjoy it. It doesn't feel much wider than my single stack Springfield. the Hogue grips that it has are quite wide. the Para just feels a little more squared off.

I like them, they make me look like I know what I'm doing. Almost.

Anything else you'd like to see?

Mine is far from unissued, but I like it. Bolt and receiver numbers match, magazine is forced matched. Bolt head is stamped number 1 I believe, and the barrel looks pretty decent. the bad: stock has been repaired and refinished, the rear sight is broken, and the brass butt plate is too large. But I bought it to shoot it, and preserve a piece of history. I'm going to take it to East Bangor this afternoon, I've got a new 1911 to try out as well. pics forthcoming.

I vaguely remember long gas lines, would have had to have been '79. I was born late '72.

Will a justifiable need for gasoline be necessary?

No, not really. I would not waste any money at all on anything remotely related to the NFL.

Might want to check out Browning, X bolt or A bolt. I've got an X bolt in .223 and the trigger is even better than a Savage.

Sgt. Hollar, NJSP Augusta is great to deal with. Went out of his way to work with my schedule, and called both my references the day after I dropped off my application. He was quite sympathetic to our plight here, and he seemed to me to be a gun-guy. Many of the local shops here had nothing but good things to say about him as well. I was told that I would see my permits in a few months, and I received them just shy of five weeks. I'm afraid that because of his efficiency he'll be transferred to Cape May. And so far, I've bought the following: CZ 75 B S&W 586 4" Para Ordinance Expert 14.45 two permits to go, I think they will be used for: Sig Sauer P320 S&W Shield 9mm Just wanted to add that a friend of mine told me that Randolph has been gun friendly for as long as he can remember.

Take a msf course, get good, visible gear, get very good rain gear, and keep your head on a swivel.

The CZ 75 is a good choice. I've only had mine a short time and a few hundred rounds through, but it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. Mine has the Omega trigger, fwiw.
