and in the pic of the Colorado... the AR had a 30Rd magazine in it!

PlayStation 3 = $300 + 2 games = $420 bucks.... $500 for a Glock that will last a lifetime? seems legit to me... What would you rather have? PS3 or a decent handgun?

I'm about a few months ahead of you... First thing i did was call up a range while i was on vacation in florida and told them i have never shot or held a handgun in my life... and if i went there could they teach me how to shoot... they said come on down!! I was taught right there on the spot all safety procedures and gun/range rules... they beat it into me. And the really nice guy at that range also never left my side and helped me with grip/stance/ how to load... And even when my hand started shaking really bad... he only laughed a little and told me to shoot through it cuz i was nervous!! lol Also turned out i was shooting a .45 glock handcanon!!! Afterwords he told me he gave me the biggest cal handgun as my first gun because everything i shoot after this gun should be easier lol. These southern guys are funny. THats the only time i've ever shot... and i just bought a New Glock 19 Gen from PK90 off this forum. I still have not gone to the range with it.. But this weekend may be the first time!!! I'm a little nervous but i think i'll be fine. This will be my second time ever shooting coming up! I say DEF take a class... or go with an instructor for your first time... it's well worth it. I didn't pay extra for it just had to rent the gun and buy ammo there in florida. Not sure if they are as nice up here.

Just saw this article on slashdot... http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/07/27/1637208/how-a-3-year-old-can-open-a-gun-safe And link to article http://www.forbes.com/sites/marcwebertobias/2012/07/27/unsafe-gun-safes-can-be-opened-by-a-three-year-old/

I had to give a copy of the fingerprint receipt back with all the paperwork... did you have to give them a copy of that? AS there were some numbers on there for the State Police to reference.. 1. went to PD received all paperwork.. Detective called in and filled in a special number on the paperwork right there on the spot. 2. Went online to SegoMorph made appointment with the numbers on the form. 3. Got fingerprinted and was given several copies of the receipt and told by Them to take a copy of the receipt and hand it in with my paperwork. 4. Took all completed paperwork(with reference numbers) back to PD with fingerprint Receipt 5. got a call 4 weeks later to pick up my PID (i also had to stamp my fingerprint on it) went to staples and got it laminated right away. Went back and got handgun permit a few weeks later... that took another 5 weeks (made mistake and only applied for one) so next time i'll apply for two.

Check and check... Going with a Leo instructor. I don't want to teach myself any bad habits!

ok i remember from what i saw at dicks that there were decibel ratings on them.. is this something stated on the package?

Gonna buy my first "eyes and ears" may just shoot over to dicks as i'm going to try and go to range for first time with new gun this weekend. (and this will be my second time ever shooting). Anything in particular to look for? or something in particular i should get that is better maybe at Local Gun Shop(LGS) ? Also anything else that i should think about that is a must have? So far all i have is a glock 19 Gen4 in it's case. Cleaning stuff? range bag? Grenades? Thanks for any replies!

heck it only took him a few days to get a handgun.... It took me 2 months... a mental check, And i had to provide 2 people that would vouch for me! Think anyone would have vouched for this psycho? Either way... if he couldn't get guns... i have a feeling he would have made a bomb.

bad timing.. you post this the day before such a high profile event... make sure you cite sources and be ready to LOGICALLY defend this position.

I wonder what type of AR he had.. because they are saying it jammed. I'm reading he possibly had a drum attached to it... prob the Drum misfeeding it? nevermind just saw the picture of the gun on page 5 of this thread... looks like normal 30rd magazine.

I'm scared!

lol i think i saw that a while ago on yahoo... either way CNN's 24 hour coverage of the "Dark Night massacre" isn't helping anyone. Good thing here in Jersey we have to wait several months for a handgun and have 2 non family members called by PD.... does this happen elsewhere? i have no idea being that i just started this year...

not to thread hijack but i'm in the same exact situation, at this point i'm looking to just buy a complete one... Colt, RockRiver, S&W in that order. If it takes you saving up an extra $200 a month for a few months so be it... it would be easier to sell down the road as you will have paperwork for it. Kinda like looking at a car... would you buy a 69 camaro that someone jammed a new corvette motor and computer and supercharger? or an original that someone just tweeked the motor a little bit? Origional sounds a little easier and desirable to me. But thats me. Again i've been in the gun game for a few months and new to all of this, but looking at all these custom AR's reminds me on how much i don't know!! lol so thats why i say full AR for first time, build your second if you love it.

I dont have an AR yet... but watching these videos pretty much made up my mind that i def want some sort of optics when i do get one.... I'll probably just buy a complete AR maybe a Colt, RockRiver Arms or S&W

DirtyDigs... gen3 or Gen4 glock?

yea on another note... 2 days ago some guy goes to a bar with an AR type gun and opens fire and injures 17 people.... http://abcnews.go.com/US/gunman-opens-fire-tuscaloosa-bar-multiple-people-shot/story?id=16793102 good to see old man... sad to see this

It's front page Yahoo now! Good Morning america did a piece on it http://gma.yahoo.com/florida-man-71-shoots-alleged-robbers-internet-cafe-110406403--abc-news-topstories.html

Victory Bar and Grill not to far from there(Awesome Chicken Parm).. and he's close to Atco Raceway... Cherry Hill Nj is another 20 min from there cuz of the lights. Again... I'm def gonna deal with him from here on out... my local shop just takes you out back, beats and rapes you. PK90 will def see me again VERY soon for those glow in the dark sights! and prob a 22lr conversion, and now that i think of it i prob need some earmuffs ! Damn it! That Smith and Wesson AR with flat top looked pretty awesome... i wonder what i just got myself into!

First purchase ever! new owner of a Glock 19 Gen4!!! feels great! He was awesome to deal with and has a great setup!! Def calling him soon for some gear once i settle into this whole gun thing! Thanks ! --Destro

twospot what ammo are you using? just curious! thanks! --Destro

josh do you also have the newer spring/ejector in yours?

Thanks diamond and sixtytwo! makes sense now! i've yet to buy ammo (since no gun yet). Makes sense! how do you know the fps and is the +p's normally listed on the boxwes? Also diamondd817 whats the average prices of the ammo you listed?.. Also those with the glock 19 gen 4.. exactly what ammo are you using? Again thanks for bearing with me!

Is there a sticky somewhere that explains grains? And what why how equals a 'hotter' round?
