Good point there.

I guess your right in that aspect, but Ive heard the hi points are reliable and they sure are cheap just ugly. And as long as it goes bang, who cares what it looks like.

Does it matter? Im just asking questions so I can educate myself on what needs to be done incase of a burglery, I have nothing to hide. Theres been a ton of break ins lately and I was having a discussion last night with someone from Pa and I was asked about our laws, I couldnt answer. Apperantly in Pa, you can shoot someone for just being on your property, with cause of course.

Thats another thought. I have a nice xdm 9 and in the case I have to use it, I wouldnt want to loose it. I was thinking of buying a hi point that way if the police take it so what.

This is what I meant. It makes sense but I dont think its worth it if you get caught. But say someone is in your house, you shoot them, and they were unarmmed. Wouldnt it be better that they were armed? Either way, your gonna take the chance of jail time.

So what rights exactly do we have in NJ when it comes to home intrusion? Does the intruder have to be in our home to shoot or can it be our property? (shed, garage) Do they HAVE to be armed? Will the police confiscate my firearm and if so, how easy is it to get back? My buddys always tell me I should get a "throwaway" piece just to protect my rights so I want to know what my rights are.

I called a couple weeks ago and the woman clerk told me they will let me know either way.

How long have you guys been waiting recently for your permits? I got my first one in th ebeginning of this year in 3 weeks. Well Ive been waiting over 2 months and nothing still. Is this normal?

I dont understand why a lot more people dont listen to country. Im a huge metal and rock fan as you can tell by my screen name, but most country nowadays IS rock!!! Basically I got into country because we camp a lot and metal and camping just dont go together.

Man, I hope that dont start happening around here. I live in a farming community right outside of salem.

WOW!!! That sw1911 is sweet!!! Ill look into it to see how much their going for, thanx.

Yea Im leaning towards the taurus. It looks great, has great reviews, cheap, and comes with a lot for the price.

How about the Bersa american classic II? Junk? It sure looks purty and its very inexpensive.

da isnt a requirement bu tI would prefer it. That sti looks nice. Ill look into it but would prefer non black.

Sorry, I know the eaa isnt a 1911 shoulda been more clear. I really just want a really nice 45 with da/sa in my price range but love the 1911 design but Im not biased to just a 1911.

How much?

I really like the ria and its inexpensive. Could I change teh trigger and hammer to a skeletonized one and if so how much?

Im looking for a 1911 in a 45 with a 5" barrel. I would like stainless, polished, or nickel or basically anything that looks really nice. Not looking at spending over $7-$800. So far I got: Taurus pt1911 ruger sr1911 RIA nickel 1911 EAA witness Any other suggestions and what about the guns I listed? I really like the taurus polished with the gold accents but I read that taurus autos arent that great. I would prefer a skeletonized trigger and hammer. If not, can they be added easily?

Im a HUGE devils and giants fan as you can see. EVERYONE around here is all flyers and eagles, its sickening but I wouldnt have it any other way.

Cool. So can you tell me what that long spring was for?

And yes, the pins are locked in.

So the long spring is NOT needed? I do have the plate in and it all seems fine but Iwas just wondering if you need the spring. I couldnt tell what it would be used for.

Ok. I got the plate in. Now, do you have to use the retention spring (long spring). I put it back together without it since css videos didnt mention anything about it and it seems to function just fine. ( i didnt shoot it yet). Whats its purpose?

Ahh thanx guys. I actually ordered my kit through CSS. The instructions I'm using didn't mention the plate. It did come with the kit I believe so ill check when I get home.

So I started my saiga conversion and I noticed the original pins that hold the hammer and trigger tend to walk their way out when you use the gun. So what can I use? I think th ekit should have came with new pins myself.
