9mm Carbine
Hipoint 995ts. Its not pretty ut it does have a brute charm to it. Go to hipoint forums and see what people say about the carbine from longtime owners. Also check out nutnfancy whee he put the gun in paces over a period of time and seasons. I own one but that doesnt mean anything. Orry for the misspellings this tablet business is not for me..

So what do you think the ultimate "status-symbol" gun is?
I'd rather have a gun that I will really enjoy shooting. Most pricey ones will be closet beauties instead.

This. Once you get comfortable with it start buying online too. Welcome to the forum!

Getting my FID, looking for my first handgun
The p95 is ambidextrous safety. Really feels good in the hand. The sig sp2022, also within the same price range, has no manual safety and the magazine release can be easily placed on either side using a small screwdriver. I have the sp2022, i'll let you know when I go to BH, you're welcome to shoot it.

Realistic Next-Step Up from .22LR Rifle
Hipoint 995ts a9mm carbine that can be had for about $300. Accurate and reliable . Fast sight acquisition you wont really need any optics for man sized targets. There are other 9mm carbine choices that will be more expensive, prettier and sexier than the 995ts . Check out the nutnfancy project where he evaluated the 995ts in his enviable desert range. And also check out the Hipoint forum.

Sayreville sportsman.. lousy experience
I have no choice but buy from them this week. I heard their the only place where I can get a clamming license. The next nearest one is in Pt. Pleasant.

Getting my FID, looking for my first handgun
Since cost is a major consideration, I suggest you look into a 9mm Ruger p95. Sells for about $389 + fees. Comes with 2 - 15 round mags.

holster for SP2022 that is good for IDPA?
Thank you for the good report on this one. I'll certainly try this set up. Now I need magazine holders so I can get to myself in an IDPA match someplace.

Here's the holstered gun. Is that OK according to IDPA rules?

holster for SP2022 that is good for IDPA?
Thanks for replying Pizza Bob . So the trigger guard does not have to be fully covered for IDPA? That is good news to me. I am used to the Fobus since I try to wear it in the house to get familiar with it. I'll post a pic of the holstered gun and if you say it looks OK it's off to IDPA with me. Besides I'm really avoiding the expense if possible. 3 growing kids situation here , someone always need a new pair of pants,skirtshirts and blouses plus of course shoes

Bullet Hole
Good place to shoot and affordable. I was just there last Thursday with friends and bro in laws. Once you get to know the characters, who to approach or avoid you'd be ok.

Wombat, thanks for the reply. I just looked at Comp Tac website and I like what I see but sp2022 was not listed. Which are you using for your SP?

holster for SP2022 that is good for IDPA?
I really want to join IDPA but the Fobus paddle holster I bought has the rear half of the trigger guard exposed. Is there a good paddle holster that will cover the whole trigger guard but no release button to push where the trigger is?

followup to Bedside thread that drifted a bit...
Condition 2 for me. I have DA/SA pistol w/o safety. Flashlight is separate.

Recommend my first semi auto
+1 on the Sig SP2022. 15 round mag, as accurate as any combat pistols around, cheaper than all other pistols so far mentioned.

New Fathers? (Or advice for those to be)
All great advices. Dont fret on the size of the house, just stay within your budget and you'd be ok. Things to consider will be the school system make sure its good and the school your kid will be going to is decent, will you be driving them to school or is there a busing service, is the park close by (kids prefer parks better than a backyard) , is it a quiet neighborhood or busy ( we like busy dunkin donuts 2 blocks away 7-11 at the street corne r, catholic and lutheran churches/schools within the block and many more). On kids, ahhh they are God's gift to parents. It will come naturally. I didnt even read a single book.Just watch the baby channel while in the hospital and watch the nurses do it. Within a week that you have the baby home, you'll be a pro. Will the wife breastfeed the baby? That will be very good even for just a few months. As long as you have wipes,diapers, formula, bibs, pacifierand a change of clothes and a disposable mat for covering those changing tables inthe men restrooms and of cours a good baby carrier/stroller you' be good to go. I have a 10y/o boy and girls 8&5 and my office is plastered with kids artwork. I love being a dad.

Pac Man fight
There has been talks that Pacmans promoters are not even considering a fight with Bradley. Instead tehy want to fight Marquez again but in Mexico this time. I really wish Pacman would not use Nevada as a venue from now on.

Can anyone talk me out of it?
Just get the 90 day extension for your permit. The house is more important. Besides you will be so busy with it that you will neit her find the time , resources and energy to shoot at the range. Also try out other pistols ruger p95, sig sp2022, M&P andit will likely make you think for another90 days. Heck you might be so busy with the house that you will totally forget about the permit nd let it expire.
