Thanks for the input, if it's that cheap I will just order the g19 ejector. I bought the complete slide assembly off gunbroker.

That ordinance will go no where once they realize the ramifications. No way any town in any state is going to get away with attempting to shoot down US gov't drone's.

This is why I upgraded to the streamlight tlr-1hl. I was worried I would be blinded even behind the light when I turned it on in complete darkness, but I did not lose focus when going from a total dark scenario to clearing my condo with the light. As bright as it is any intruder it is pointed at will not be able to see clearly. I had a tlr-2 and sold it bc I did not find the laser to be very helpful.

That was my favorite thing about A&A, you always knew exactly what he had bc he was good about updating online inventory.

I did read that the ejector was the only difference. I am planning on putting a crapload of rounds through it and see if there are any issues. If there are I will order the parts.

Yea most .22 kits are a PITA. Once I find a 9mm xchange kit I doubt I will use the .22 much. For now .22 and .40 will have to make due. I usually run mini mags in my .22 pistols anyway bc it seems that is the only ammo the pistols all universally like.

A 9mm 1911 is on my current want list. Submitting another batch of permits this week.

I think someone actually posted the other day that they ordered the mags and were told a several month wait, only to have the mags arrive from SW a few days later.

I recently bought a gen 4 g23 even though what I really wanted was a g19. It was the fde color which I thought was neat and I am bad with impulse buys so I jumped on it. I immediately ordered a conversion barrel for it but they were backordered. As I read more about the gen 4 and looked through the Lone Wolf website they recommended that you replace the recoil spring and a couple other parts in conjunction with the barrel to make it function properly in a gen 4 model. This didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, especially since the gen 4 recoil spring was one of the improvements over the gen 3 pistols. Not to mention the fact that we were now approaching the $200+ mark for the conversion barrel and other components. I sort of forgot about it bc it was on backorder, and bc I seem to have gun add and another permit to burn I began looking at the Sig guns. I decided to buy a p226 in .22lr and buy the xchange kits they offer to shoot both 40 or 9, depending on which kit you buy. It comes with a complete slide assembly. Just take off the .22 slide and swap it for another caliber. ...which brings me to the point of this post. I looked into it for Glock and you can swap the complete slide assembly of a gen 4 (or gen 3) from a 19 to a 23 or vice versa. You just need to make sure you have the same generation slide as you do frame. I looked online and found a brand new complete gen 4 g19 slide assembly for just over $300 that now allows me to shoot both 9 and 40 with complete factory reliability. Also, there is no permit needed for the additional caliber bc it is the frame that is registered. This might be old news to most of you but I was pretty stoked about it and am happy to now be able to shoot both calibers with only 1 permit burned. I also think this is good for a SHTF scenario where ammo might be available in one caliber but not another. Pic of the 226 and g23 with their other caliber slide assemblies

As far as the .22 goes my vote is for a ruger 22/45. I have shot them and loved it. I have one waiting to be picked up (thanks OGAM!). Another good option would be buying a Sig 226 or 229 in .22lr bc you can then buy the xchange kit to make it also shoot 9mm. You could then use the rest of your money to buy any number of 9mm's. I have an M&P which is great. I would also recommend checking out an HK P30. Lastly, there is a .22lr kit for sale in the marketplace for a great price that will fit on your g19 if it's a gen 3. No permit required.

If it was the black one I wouldn't of posted it. The fde models are few and far between (for an already hard to get gun) and fetch a premium. Last week this exact gun was purchased using a "buy it now" on gunbroker for $799. I know bc I was watching the listing.

...and UTAS UTS-15's for $999 I need to find a second job lol

Looks like they also have the elusive FDE colored Sub 2000 in stock in 9mm Glock variation for $475

Just found these in stock while hunting for something else. Tavor's in stock for $1900 + $25 shipping. http://www.clarkearms.com/iwi-tavor-bullpup-556#.UecDGY2UQvk

J&G sales has Chinese Type 53's in stock for $99.95. It costs $20 to ship. You can pay an extra $20 for a hand picked one or $30 for hand picked with a shiny bore. http://www.jgsales.com/mosin-nagant-chinese-type-53-rifle,-7.62x54r-caliber,-good-condition,-c-r,-used.-p-2341.html

Gona have to second this. The heat doesn't really bother me but I would much rather do anything in cold weather than hot weather, including shoot. I shot half of the USPSA match this past Sunday and it really wasn't bad though. I had sweat through all of my clothes by the time I left but was not uncomfortable and could easily have shot the other half if I didn't have other plans.

I would love to think like BLF, but if I did I would be broke forever. I believe he is of the "own at least one of every firearm ever made" philosophy lol.

I don't understand how a pd can even openly say things like that. In this facet of their job they are effectively pushing paper. You submit your paperwork, they make sure you met the eligibility requirements, and then they issue the fid/permits. It is not up to them to decide if you can have it or not, if you meet the requirements they are required to give to you. The fact that towns will delay paperwork for months simply because they don't feel like issuing permits is ridiculous and should be illegal. If I were you I would have been livid when the officer told me he didn't want to put a gun in my hand, or asked why I needed a rifle. In TR they are pretty good about everything, there is a wait but not like you have experienced. The worst I had to wait was 3 months and once an officer that gave me my permits made a joke about hoping he never pissed me off lol. It was in a light hearted manner so I didn't mind.

I am no where near Bergen but if you pay the shipping back and forth I can lend you a couple 15 rounders.

I was having an issue with needing to rotate the gun slightly to hit the mag release with my thumb. I am going to try out your method, never thought of it. BTW have you shot it yet, how is the LEM trigger?

Also, I believe your town is notorious for dragging their feet wink wink. I stopped in to an FFL near by last week and they were actually talking about how long they take, apparently just because they don't like approving permits. It is not the first time I have heard that, either.

My employer was never contacted but it does have the info on the P2P's as iCarry indicated.

IMO depends on if the Saiga is converted or not. If it's unconverted I would say go WASR, if converted I would say go Saiga. If you go the WASR route just make sure you check it out first to make sure the front sight isn't canted. A lot of them had that issue. I believe unconverted Saiga's were around $400 pre Newtown.

Don't know much about working out as I was never able to really get into the whole routine. I just try to do as much cardio as I can through sports and use my gym membership every once in a while. I really just came in here to say good luck with your endeavor and I hope you are selected for the position you are after!
