Yes, a $18 money order for the Criminal History check for additional permits. I followed up with my voicemail from yesterday and got the detective today. I believe he said my paperwork was there but he did not get to it yet as he was backed up. I called on my darn cell phone and could not hear him clearly. He sounded annoyed that I called again. Hopefully, that does not mean I get moved to the bottom of the pile.

24 isn't even listed on the Glock site. What is the difference between the 24 and the 35? Both are .40 competition. Did the 35 replace the 24 in the line up?

It sure does look pretty. The "skeletonized" trigger looks great. Is it at Caso's?

I also left a message with the detective in the morning. No calls back. I would really like to know if there is anything missing. I don't want to wait 60 days only to find out that they are still waiting for my money order because I submitted my money order after I submitted my application. My wife dropped off the money order later that same day. She did not drop it off with the detective as he was not there at the time. I think I'm going to submit a request for another set of permits depending on how long this takes. I know what I am going to do with 2 of the 3. I then have 2 or 3 other ones that I would like to get with the last permit. I'm going to keep a permit or two available from the next permit request in case I find a deal I cannot turn down or something I absolutely must get.

Thanks, I'll call tomorrow and politely ask. I have a new toy that is fully paid for but cannot pick it up as I have no permit.

I put in my application for 3 more permits on Feb 10th. 39 days and still waiting. When is it too soon to follow up? I don't want to chase them so they'd put my appplication at the bottom of the pile. I spoke with my references and they sent the letters back. Would it be wrong to call and ask if there was any paperwork that was missing? I'd be interested in meeting other members. I probably ran into some at the range or at stores and not know it.

The RSA looks to be the latest one. It has the numbers 0, 4 and 1. I assume this is read as 0-1-4 and looks to be the latest for the G22. I am a new shooter and it is highly possible that it is the way I am holding the gun. I do plan on signing up for a formal training class and get more practice time. This really only happens 1 in every 50 shots.

I figured it was about darn time that I started contributing. I am waiting for my new toy to arrive and my permits (5 weeks and counting). Needless to say, I've been hunting for 45 ammo for the past few week in anticipation of new toy. While I was at it, minds of well share what I've found.

Yes, it took me longer to watch the video than to actually do it. The part number is 28926.

Wait, that was not the right way? Isn't that how they do it in the movies? I'm going to check the ejector. I have not taken the glock apart yet but I'm sure I'll find something on youtube.

Yeah, the Federal 40 S&W is regular priced at $18.99. You need to wait for the Ammo can sale again. Cabella's has the Ammo can again with the American Eagle branded ammo but it's not on sale...YET.

I don't know if this is just limited to the 9mm. I have a Gen4 G22 that will occassionally hit me with the brass. I thought it was just the Federal ammo that I am using. I'm going to try a different ammo to see if this is the case.

Nice, that's a pretty cool video.

I could be wrong on this. When my father passed away last September, he had a handgun (Colt Python). I was interested in it. My mother was going to give it back to NYPD for $200. As my father died without a will, my mother was nominated as the administrator and she willed the gun to me. Before I did this, I asked my local township. They said I did not need a permit and I could optionally fill out SP-650 which I did. I also applied for my permit at that time. I carry a copy of the SP-650, a copy of my father's registration of the handgun, my father's death certificate, a copy of the letter stating that my mother is the administrator of my father's estate and a letter signed by my mother that I am the beneficiary of the Colt. Having said that, this is a beautiful handgun and I am glad my mother did not turn it in for the measly $200. It looks like it was only fired twice by my father as the box of 357s only had two spent rounds. I'm hoping that helped. To confirm what my local PD stated, I just merely called the state police to confirm. The local PD is advised to not provide you with any advice but the state PD was pretty helpful.

Generally speaking, how much cheaper are used handguns compared to new? For the ones I am looking at, they are only about a hundred cheaper than a new one. This is also a challenge when you buy online as it can be difficult to ascertain the condition of the gun just by the pictures or if it is going to feel right in your hands. I suppose you can go to a local store to see how it fits though.

When I first moved out to NJ from Brooklyn, I thought I was in pizza purgatory (or food purgatory). Fortunately, there is this place called Mr. Nino's in Union, NJ that is quite darn good. Saved me from eating subpar pizza at Domino's, Pizza Hut or Papa John's.

I'm in Union Township. I've gotten my first gun from Caso's. Nice people but the neighborhood is very shady. I'm originally from Brooklyn so it does not bother me but my wife was really uncomfortable. You have to park your car on the street and you may have to walk a few blocks thru the neighborhood to get there. NJFG was the second gun shop I've been to. The sales guys seem to be a hit or miss. A few of them are really good and knowledgeable. The other one had to check on everything. They have a wide selection in stock and are great if you really need to see it before you buy. Their prices seemed to be pretty much MSRP. Since then I've been to Bullseye in Woodbridge. Chris, the owner, will take time to chat with you on what you are looking for. His selection is small but he should be able to secure something you are looking for unless it is hard to find. I've seen quite a few NJGF members. The good thing is that is is not far from NJFG so you can visit both stores in 1 day. I can also drop off my wife at the mall (and use it as an excuse to see if there are any ammo sales from Dick's). I've also been to Hackettstown Guns & Ammo. This was a bit far for me and I left my FID in my rush to leave the house that morning. They have a good selection there but Walt was the only one working that Saturday and he was overwhelmed. He has a pretty good selection and sounded like he gets some rare firearms which move quickly. I've also been to Ramsey Outdoors (near Garden State Mall?). I didn't like dealing with them. It was the first gun shop I went to and the guy behind the counter was not interested in helping me make a decision. It sounded like he shot shotguns and said that shooting handguns were boring.

That's a great looking gun and great pictures. My wife is an aspiring photographer but hates guns. You also answered a question I had on my mind about buying a gun in PA. I travel there quite often as my in laws are out there. Having to go thru a FFL does take away from that instant gratification. I suppose if you find a good deal, it would not matter and it will not deter me from looking now.

Thanks for this. I just picked one up.

Thanks, just picked up a case of the 40s.

Looks good. What was the total damage of building it yourself (not including the time you spent)? Did you need any special tools?

That looks very nice. How much experience did you have prior to this? I am tempted to build but I have zero experience. I am leaning towards buying something ready to fire first and then learn how to strip/rebuild it before I consider building my own. There is nothing like building your own to exactly the way you want it though.

More details on the guns itself would be nice. I like the scoring in the end where the groupings matter, not just the closest shot. I didn't know I had H2 either. It was on the non-HD channels on FIOS which I rarely venture to.
