Beretta Px4 spring/guiding rod replacement program
That's interesting. Certainly involving than I would expect from the breaking-in procedure! I should have thought of the storing with the slide locked trick... But as far as rounds go, I am actually up to 750 rounds now, but the FTFs continue to happen now and them. What ammunition do you typically fire from yours? I definitely do NOT have the new spring, since Beretta's website ask for you gun's serial # to confirm that you need it, and it accepted mine.

Motley Crue and KISS are coming to NJ in September -- 21st in Holmdel, 22nd in Camden. I am super excited! Ordered the tickets today. I was at their concert last year, and was blown away. There is no way to even imagine how stoopid it's gonna get with KISS on the same playbill. KISS & Motley Crue Announce Summer Tour: 'No Fake Bull---t'

Beretta Px4 spring/guiding rod replacement program
Hi all, Sorry if this has already been mentioned here -- I couldn't find any prior coverage. Beretta is providing a free recoil spring + guiding rod replacement for Px4 Compact that are affected by the feeding/extraction problems. Below is the link: Beretta Customer Support I have been dismayed at sporadic FTFs with most 115gr in my 9mm Compact, and my gunsmith suggested to replace the spring. Running a quick Google search turned up that link above.

why no picture or video allowed in bullet hole?
Such is the nature of our inbalanced world! Bullet Hole - way too many cops. Ready Aim Fire - not nearly enough!

why no picture or video allowed in bullet hole?
Why would LEOs object to being photographed at that establishment any more than other, regular citizens would? Would they also be upset at their pictured being taken at, say, an ice cream parlor? That doesn't seem reasonable.

G&S Hunters Range in Paterson
Yes, 25 yards. I always come on weekends, and never spent more than 10 minutes waiting. But it's worth giving them a call in advance just case there is some PD or security firm there running their qualifications. 973-345-4100.

Anyone own the V-Line In wall "cloest" safe?
A quick report from the field -- I just had my own V-Line Secure Cabinet installed last week. Originally, the studs were preventing me from installing the cabinet where I wanted it to be either in my or my wife's closet in our bedroom, but we're remodeling the bathroom that is separated by a wall from my closet. The opportunity presented itself -- I just asked the contractor to move the stud The cabinet is really nice. While I must admit that it not stop a determined, well-equipped burglar, it suits my purposes just fine -- it will definitely stop a less-than equipped burglar, and will keep the guns away from the children. The locking mechanism is easy to operate, crisp, and 100% mechanical. I ended up ordering it with a pegboard internal door surface, one full shelf, and one half shelf. For the handguns, I've foregone the expensive "gun caddy" options and just got some cheap, low-profile, neoprene-covered hooks from Lowe's. The cabinet does NOT sit flush against the wall, as you know -- it protrudes out about 2 inches. The extra inches definitely make a difference (wait a second...) and make it possible to, say, hang a couple of handguns on the door right in from of a rifle resting inside of the cabinet, which otherwise wouldn't be possible. Thanks to all for earlier advice and comments in this thread!

G&S Hunters Range in Paterson
Just discovered this thread! G&S is where I shoot every weekend. Marcos is the owner. Day-to-day operations are ran by George. He's a great guy and a very competent gunsmith. The place is open all week long except Mondays. Regular hours are 11-6, except Thursdays 11-7. Handgun ammo only, but pistol-caliber carbines and .22LR and air rifles are welcome. The place "ain't no Taj Mahal", as one of Stephen King's characters said, but it's tidy and clean. There are just 7 lanes. Visitors are supposed to put away their targets and sweep their brass into bins in the corners, and the absolute majority does. The lighting is okay although could be better. However, the ventilation is excellent. Ceiling are low, and now and them get dinged (I hear that the worst shooters are cops). The atmosphere is great -- something I'd call "your neighborhood shooting range". I haven't run into a patrons who wouldn't be friendly and courteous. There is no rowdiness, messiness, or chips on the shoulder. Edit: typos.

FN or Beretta
I never shot an FN before, but last Sunday I got to shoot a 92FS for the first time in my life. I was surprised to realize that I like it more than my PX4, actually.

Sig and HK owners, why did you feel it was worth paying more for your gun?
Maks: in fairness, XDs are being sold with a holster, a mag pouch, a "premium" box and some other doohikeys. Not a huge extra cost, but still...

Sig and HK owners, why did you feel it was worth paying more for your gun?
Just like everyone on the highway who drives slower than you is an idiot and everyone who's faster than you is surely a maniac... Everyone who's paying more for his guns than you do is an elitist and a snob, and everyone who likes to pay less for his guns is a cheapskate! Edit: phone typos

Suggestions on range bag
I wanted a practical range bag that does NOT look too much like a conspicuous range bag. So, I picked a decently sized tackle bag at Dick's. Bonus - a rubberized bottom.
