interested in this but I have never shot a match. cliff notes on best division to start as a newb?

Lol. Danny whenever you are headed to CJ let me know and I will bring some toys to shoot. Clint - you are welcome down here anytime just shoot me a pm with when would work for you.

$1500 seems about what they are going for based on GB listings, or a bit more than that on Armslist. I got mine for substantially less which is why I jumped on it. I would also venture a guess that prices will not go down on them as production has ceased.

I haven't posted most of my new additions this year, despite having picked up some cool stuff. I saw this gun pop up for sale locally from a private individual and figured it was a good time to buy one since HK announced they would no longer sell them a couple months ago. They always looked like a neat gun and I didn't have a .45 carbine so I decided to grab it. It was also a great deal which didn't hurt. It's a HK USC Carbine that came with all the original gear, manuals, etc. I also got several different lowers with it, one that is made to take double stack grease gun mags. First impressions of it are that it seems well built for a mostly plastic rifle. The previous owner maintained it very well, and it looks new. He said it is very accurate (just got it today haven't shot it yet) and it is relatively light (6 lbs). The factory sights are set very low which might take some getting used to, but overall I think it points rather naturally and should be a good shooter. I will report back once I get to the range on Fri (hopefully).

Yes I should have said that in the post, I use Tony at TJ's Sporting Arms!

^ just bc he grew up on food stamps doesn't mean he is a leech. Personally I was lucky enough to grow up with parents that were always able to put food on the table, but sadly now I employ people that have to use food stamps to feed their kids because they don't make enough to support the house otherwise. FYI I work for a large company and have a wage cap I am allowed to pay people, so this is not my decision. Our family owned businesses all pay livable wages to our employees.

The place is indeed empty during the week. I think that part of this might be the older members wanting to keep it that way. The couple meetings I have went to there were some grumblings I heard from members about how many people were joining per month. I do not necessarily think they are correct in their feelings though. I have been a member since march and have averaged a trip there about every 10 days since joining. I have never gone there on a weekend, but every trip I have made (weekdays) I have either been the only one there or one of less than 6 people total at the facility. I generally will shoot both pistol (pits) and rifle (gp range) and I have always had my pick of pits and was either the only one or with a max of 2 other people on the gp range. Even at 50 new people per month it would take years of new members to even partially fill the facility on a regular basis.

Sucks. I bet there will be a lot more of these stories. Every house on my parents street needs to be raised, and thousands of others houses as well. With the amount of demand out there in our area I will bet there will also be a lot of shoddy builders doing the work (not saying this company involved is one of them) and with that will come more accidents.

I will always ask my ffl first if I am looking for something but if he doesn't have it or can't get it, I will just buy it online and pay his transfer fee (which is very reasonable). I believe in supporting local businesses but from my experience my local shops are rather high on firearm prices. Case in point I was looking for a 226, and went to a couple local places looking. They were both $150 more than buying online before tax was taken into account. If we were talking about a 2k+ gun then the $150 wouldn't really bother me, but not on a $600 gun. I lucked out and my ffl got one in before I ordered it online and his price was actually cheaper than buying it on the internet. This is also why I will continue to use him exclusively, his firearm prices are always more than fair and he has great service. That's how you keep customers.

Duno if they will stick to it or not but the newsletter said it would not affect current members at all.

I was unaware they had issues with holding a firearm until a MO was received. If thats the case they should not offer cash vs credit prices to be honest. Either way if its 830 or 854 or 859 its still a good price for a p30. Glad you are liking yours with the lem so far. When you are taking her to the range I would love to check it out. Only way im selling mine is if i find a p30ls for a good price lol.

If thats the case I also think it was pushed through rather quickly. I have 2 friends who were planning on joining and if I was aware of the increase prior to reading it in the newsletter I would of encouraged them to join last month.

I will make it a point to attend the next one.

Anyone else have input on this? I personally have no knowledge of it one way or another as I have never been to a board meeting. It would be a shame if they were in fact wasting money that could be put to better use.

This was effectively the same reason I joined.

I love the tiny boxes this stuff comes in. Makes it super easy to store a bunch in an ammo can.

If you get the g19 version it will take the longer mags as well. Did they have any in .40?

Yes thats a very good price out the door.

If you ever feel like driving to central jersey you can shoot mine. I have a pretty flexible schedule.

It's worth it, don't let the extra $200 discourage you. If you go to the meetings they wind up donating a significant amount of $ to veterans assoc, 2A organizations, or improving the grounds. The money you shell out isn't wasted by any means.

Personally I don't get the XD hate. I have an xd45 as my nightstand gun bc it was my first handgun, I shoot it accurately, and after a few thousand rounds it still hasn't had a malfunction. I have since bought dozens of firearms, about half of them handguns, and this remains my go to bedroom piece. Why? I know it will go bang and the projectile will go where I aim it. I am no fan boy, bc I own pistols of almost every major manufacturer and like to try a little bit of everything. I am no expert, but my XD is a well built pistol.

Yup, saw that in this months news letter. Glad I joined earlier this year. At least they put the money to good use i.e. buying the surrounding land, donating to pro 2A organizations, etc. Honestly after shooting at a half dozen different places in NJ CJRPC is by far the nicest place to shoot IMO, and when I go there on weekdays it's not uncommon I'm one of a handful of people shooting. I have never had to wait to shoot, and when I use the rifle range there have never been more than 3 other shooters on the range.

only the "s" versions have the safety. i.e. p30, p30l do not, p30s, p30ls do. When I bought mine I was not well versed in the different versions and their differences. I knew about the lem vs da/sa models but had never shot any of them, and went with the v3 p30l bc I liked my other da/sa pistols. I love my p30 but the da pull is rather long and if I were to ever carry it I would like it cocked and locked, not something I would do without a safety.

come on now that would mean employing common sense. we all know common sense is left at the door when politics are involved.
