Blake

have a gen 4 g23 and it's a matte finish. first glock so no comparison to others.

Well now I don't feel so bad as 3/4 of you are in my company lol.

Happy to help Bob!

Princeton might have been one of the worst places in nj to go to look for "manliness". It is home to one of the most prestigious learning centers in the northeast, which lends itself to people who would rather read a book than start a fire. The people who live there mostly work for the university, in finance, medicine, or are business owners. All of which spend far more time worrying about whatever job they have than mastering how to live independent of civilization. Personally I live in central NJ and can start a fire in any weather, can forage for a meal if necessary, and can do basic maintenance on my car. I can pilot a boat, and if the law permitted could dispatch a wild animal on my property. I cannot weld, or do major maintenance work, but that is just a function of not being trained to do so. We live in a state that yearns for people to rely on the government, but there are plenty of people who do not.

Where I go in SSP parking is free, and the beach we use is private so that is also free. The town gets $0 from me lol. The only money spent might be riding our bikes to the boardwalk for some food and beer, which is no more expensive than buying it anywhere else. The place we go has $2 beers and $6.50 cheesesteaks, which I will happily pay for.

I'm in! Maybe you can show me how to hit the damn thing lol.

I will only be pale for another couple weeks. Once the base layer is good to go I don't even need to wear sunblock anymore. Somehow I go from ghost white to pretty tan on about 6 beach trips. LBI is awesome gf and I go down there every once and a while and ride our bikes from end to end.

voted no for myself

I recently purchased 2 steel targets from a deal posted in our hot deals section from Woot. One of the targets is a 3" steel spinner target. This is the model: http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=All-Traps-SC38-Spin-Cycle-Target-38-44-caliber&i=444128&r=view&from=grid For $35 it was a hell of a deal. In the packaging it says safe for pistol calibers at 30yds. Here is my question: Are you a good enough shot with a pistol that you could consistently hit a 3" target at 30yds? I am asking because I am not that good of a shot, and I am wondering if it is just me sucking or if the majority of you would also not be able to consistently hit the target. I will say that I would be able to hit it about 1 out of every 4 shots with most of my collection and 1 out of every 3 times with my 1911. Please answer the poll if you feel comfortable doing so. My accuracy has been getting better with almost every range trip, but I am pretty far off from accomplishing this task.

Just like the rest of you sometimes I get pretty down about our insane gun laws (which are about to get worse it appears), high property taxes and insurance, and all of the other trappings that come with NJ life. Today I had my first beach day of the season, and I wanted to make this post because while sitting there in my beach chair, reading a book it occurred to me that this beach has always had a calming effect on me, and for a few hours at least I get to leave all the crap behind and just enjoy the sun, a book, and some peace and quiet. I thought that a lot of you could probably use the same, and even though some of you don't live at the beach, maybe this pic will have a similar calming effect lol.

I believe the bill up for vote would have allowed us to stop with handguns in the car. You can make stops with long guns in your car already. That is my understanding anyway.

This is exactly what i paid as recently as last dec. Add in 1000rds .45 brass case for $300 shipped.

They are both great quality companies. All parts will be mil spec and they will both hold good resale value. I would personally say BCM will be easier to spec out exactly what you want while still having a factory build if you have specific needs. They work with several other top notch companies and offer builds with various rails and options straight from the factory. All that being said I would go with a DD V5LW if I were buying another ar. It has what I am looking for and is on my list to buy when things get back to normal.

this is exactly what I was looking for, wana get my Kimber cerakoted in a new color.

for short distances we go right down the road to double trouble state park, we also like to take our bikes to Lebanon and Browns Mills. We can't wait to have a dog to be able to take with us

Tough to get the camera lined up but i think i got it.

Thanks for the input, gona try out the EMAG until you get the M3's in.

Hmm I'm gona look into that HHS II I really liked it. The PRO has a near perfect absolute co-witness with the irons. I snapped a couple pics but they don't wana load from my phone to my email for some reason. I will try with the mobile site. BTW after we were chatting about 1911's at Tony's a few weeks ago I started looking into the semi-custom's. I looked at the Valor , a WC CQB, and a couple other's and I have my finger's crossed that I am going to have a sweet new 1911 addition to my collection shortly.

Clint, If you are going to be down in the CJ area on a day when I have off we can shoot over to CJRPC and you can put some rounds downrange with her (w/ your own ammo of course lol). It's an awesome rifle. Glad you were able to get over to the store the other day!

I believe we have them in stock at the army navy store. military issue brand new. if you are interested pm me and i can get you a price. you are actually pretty close to us.

With the x grip the compact feels the same as the full size. I have one.

i've wanted the m9a1 for a while but they are very hard to come by nowadays.

Indeed.

Thank you for the quick and easy answer!

I searched, and also looked at the gun law guide on here but didn't see this exact question. I am looking to purchase a pistol from a guy who is in the military and currently stationed at joint base McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst. He is now a NJ resident and has changed over his drivers license, but has not yet received his FID. The gun was legally obtained in his previous state and came with him when he moved. Is it legal to do a face to face and buy it even though he doesn't have his FID, or do I need to go thru an FFL, or since he doesn't have his FID is he ineligible to sell anything until he gets his FID? Thanks, and if this has been covered sorry but I couldn't find it, I swear I looked lol.
