yea i'm going new for first gun... what spring do you have in your gun? 043?

first hand gun is def going to be a glock 19... then i'll take it from there. The question of the day is should i get a Proven Gen3? or newer Gen 4? I was leaning Gen 4 because (ok i'm gonna be honest) 1. the grips 2 it's newer. Yes i know don't bash me on #2 but this is my first gun purchase! and they have had almost 2 years to tweak the gun now. watching so many videos and reading so many posts on gen 4 with eratic ejection on certain ammo, when gen 3 can fire anything you put in it puts that doubt in my head. Also on the Gen 4 what are the latest parts numbers that i should see in it? oh wise ones... what do you think?

this a gen 3 or gen 4? i'm struggling on what one to get at this point. The bigger grip pad i'm thinking on gen 4 would be better for me... BUT gen 3 = proven should i gen 3 it? maybe i'll start a new post

just got mine!!! FIRST PERMIT!! month and a 1/2 not to bad i guess considering the PD was busy with a high profile crime..

i had to staple the receipt to the initial forms for PID... and hand it to detective with the forms... Why? so he knows i actually completed it and can then track the status of the prints from the receipt. I suggest keeping a copy somewhere safe... maybe scan it and email it to yourself? I got my PID in 3 weeks... your results may vary on how organized/ backed up your detective is with local crime paperwork. Because this is a lot of paperwork. All the Seg Morph places tell you to take receipt with you for a reason because its probably what the state police want and it's written in their job description/instructions for PID for a reason. Your town may not care as much.

Welcome!!! i'm in atlantic county as well! i think there is another guy in brigantine on here

wasn't there someone in here who had to have their picture taken on the spot? And they did it.. but questioned it afterwords? i'm sure he's got a sweet gun in his hands right now!!

AC also has a mayor that hates the police... and just granted himself a "i get 2% higher salary then whoever gets the higest salary in the city". One of the people he hired to run public works just got busted for selling crack. front page of AC press lol. Also he set up a board of his friends to review all the police brutality that is going on. Because when they arrest drug dealers with guns and crack on them they are to physical with them. LoL. The city is a joke and the Mayors office is run like a frat house. BUT at the end of the day he's the one who fills in the absentee ballots for all the section 8 people in AC... no one else does!

Actually... the 9mm is still in stock for that price. they are out of the .40 http://palmettostate...22-pro-9mm.html

i just go to slickdeals.net and do a search for "gun" and all ammo and gun deals come up.. also good for anything else you may be looking for from ssd drives to toilet paper lol

http://slickdeals.net/f/4167070-GUN-DEAL-Sig-Sauer-SP2022-Pro-9mm-or-40-349-99-15-S-H just missed a pretty good deal on these!

oh yea... i was told NOT to roll my finger on my card just press straight down and then lift up

I live in a small town and only took 3-4 weeks for PID card... i just submitted my handgun purchase on Monday May 14th - lets see how long it takes a small town...

I haven't gotten my pistol permit yet so i've never actually bought ammo yet... are these good prices? my first gun will prob be a glock 19. What is normal/good/great for 9mm?

holy !! that Benelli looks awesome! From the looks of it.. i'm def gonna get a Glock 19 (9mm) for first gun... and then an AR type but thats gonna take up a fresh new post.. and Sig P226 for 2nd gun (if i like the range as much as i think i will, i love the sigs feel)

I just got my card 2 weeks ago in South Jersey.... i didn't have to have a picture on file. Maybe they just want a record to compare to Drivers license? in future? but i'm in a small town so may be different. i wouldn't make to big a deal about it other then kindly ask them when did they make this policy and why? that your just curious. Something bad may have happened for them to have this policy.

yea i also intentionally just "forgot" that i applied and went about my business. Can't obsess about it every day just makes it worse! in the mean time just watch some hickkock45 videos and fpsrussia on youtube!! It's worse then Xmas!

what i did.. i went to PD.. spoke with my detective... he gave me the paperwork to fill out and called in a special number to be placed on my paperwork right there on the spot. He told me to make an appointment with the fingerprint people with that special number he gave me. 2. I made appointment with fingerprint people, got fingerprinted, and they stapled the receipt to my paperwork. 3. I hand in Completed paperwork with fingerprint receipt to detective and paid him in cash (i think, may have paid him when i picked it up) 4. three and a half weeks later he calls me up and says everything is done come and pick up your PID! Call up your detective and "Hey whats up.. just calling to check on the status of the PID card" and call once a week on the same daya and time and BE NICE!!!

damn... i guess i'm lucky i have a younger detective that does the paperwork for my town.. only took about 3 weeks. I'm going today to apply for a handgun permit and they said it should be a little quicker... Did you take your fingerprint paperwork back to the PD? and hand it to the detective?

I agree with the .22... i'm def in no rush to buy that... in my intro post i explain the first gun i shot was a glock 21 .45cal.. i had no idea it was the big boy! lol but the guy at the range said afterwords he started me off with that because everything else i shoot from then on should be easier lol ... i'm actually glad i started off with that.

100% agree... There is no way i'll go and order/buy 3-4 guns in one swoop! lol Just an open ended question that if you were to start your collection (weather it take you 6 months or 1 gun a year to collect... what would be the 4 must have types... so far consensus seems to be a semi-handgun/ a semi-rifle (AR) / a .22 of some sort, and a general purpose shotgun. Then as i slowly try out friends guns.. i'll take it from there... but step 1 is def a handgun for me... then i'll take my time and take it from there, because as you said, i may like one thing more then the other... i'm in no rush to get anything. Def sound advice for me and other newbie! Thanks!

doesn't have to be four exactly... def could be more... but answers can be within "what should be a good base set of guns to have" so far awesome answers guys!!!! keep em coming! this is gonna help me set up my "Base" set of guns then hopefully if i still have the bug... expand from there. ok off to research shotguns!!

If you were starting out just like i am.. and including "starter" guns... what would your first 4 be? From all the reading/youtube watching i've been doing (and being that i popped my cherry with a glock so i'm leaning that way) so this is what i'm thinking for my first 3 purchases... how do these sound to you. Ruger 10/22 (new takedown one?) Glock 19 (9mm) AR-"Type" rifle then if i enjoy shooting as much as i think... i'm thinking SiG 226 MK25 Never shot one but felt great in my hand. Realistically i'm prob going to go shooting once a month and sometimes once every 2 months as i have some busy seasons with my work. (Again this is assuming i don't catch the "bug" and go more often --Destro

Thanks guys i'll prob go tomorrow to start the handgun process! mcbethr i may take you up on that some time soon.. i occasionally work in Mt Laurel. so maybe in next few weeks, i'll def be in contact!
