My vote right here. Have one coming in soon.

So I called my buddy who works for trpd over the weekend and asked what the average time for permits was nowadays. He said he had no idea but he would inquire what was going on with my stuff for me. My permits went to the det dept on feb 20th. Funny thing - the day after he went back to work this week I get a call that my permits are ready... Cant help but think they were just sitting on a desk in the det dept. Thats not to say Im not happy they are in and I can get my P30l from TJ's.

I have only been there twice so far, but last thursday at 4pm I was the only one on the general purpose range, and this wed at 4pm I was the only one using a pit. I saw one other pwrson there who was on the high power range.

This is going to make me sound like a b***h but whatever, here goes. My hands get cold easily, bc I have long thin fingers. I wear gloves when shooting all the time. Today I went to the range and my car said it was 45 degrees out. Is that cold? Not really. Guess what, I was shooting for 10 min and my hands were freezing, so I put my gloves on. Not thick winter gloves, but probably something similar to the mechanix gloves that keep getting mentioned. They retain enough heat that my hands don't freeze but give me enough grip/feel of the trigger that l that I don't feel like I lose control of the pistol. To those that say that they will only train in the environment that they plan to use the pistol in i.e. my home defense pistol will only be shot bare handed, I would also ask if they only shot their pistol naked in pitch black conditions (this is likely how I would have to use mine lol). I firmly believe in training, and I wouldn't ever put something next to me at night I wasn't fully vetted with - but shooting any gun, especially a hd gun, is better no matter how it is shot than not shooting it at all. Just my opinion.

Purchased a mag from him. Shipping was fast and packaging was beyond secure lol. The ratio of foam peanuts to mag was about 100:1, not to mention the bubble wrap lol. Thanks for the mag dirtydigz!

I will also agree that it is worth it. Trigger is great, comes with anti rotation pins, ambi safety,ergo grip etc. Also the roll pins they give you are better than the standard ones. I paid $175 shipped for mine last august and Im very happy with it.

Got my tracking # for my friday order as well.

Yea thankfully it was actually very easy to dis and reassemble. I honestly hadn't taken it apart other than field stripping it for cleaning before this. I am glad she is back up and running!

First off thank you to Drew1 and those of you with advice. I decided to take it apart tonight and I figured out what the issue was. The mag catch was rubbing the frame on the bottom of both sides and the actual release inside the mag well had accumulated some dirt/grit which pushed its way into the mag catch housing. I cleaned the whole thing, and filed down the bottom portion of the mag release on both sides a little bit. I put it all back together and its functional again. I took it back apart to use a steel blueing pen on the area i filed and when thats set im going to oil it up to help it move easier. Here are a couple pics of where it was rubbing and where the grit was.

lol! You can come shoot it if you want. Somewhere in another thread there were enough people who wanted to play with one I said we can have a Tavor day and everyone can bring some ammo and have at it. I was told the place I ordered it from was getting a ton of them out of the first batch, so we will see how much longer it is.

ugggghhhh can't wait til mine comes in...

P30l v3. I dont think they came with the gun. I bought it used and the previous owner sent it to heinie to have them installed.

^ lol. This will be the next option.

Quick payment, easy transaction. Thanks paradox!

I watched the video you sent but haven't had the time to take the gun apart. Works been a little nuts. Hoping to take it apart on wed.

These sights came on a p30l I just acquired (but have yet to pick up from the ffl). Can't wait to try em out.

Thank you. Got 5 boxes. Not a great price but certainly better than everything else around, and it replaced what i shot thru this week.

I just joined and I can say that after visiting all of the local places to shoot it is heads and tails nicer than any other place around it. After the capital expense fee it is not any more than any other range to be a member, and they use that money to improve the range and further our cause. At the meeting I attended to get my badge they voted to donate tens of thousands of dollars to both the NRA and ANJRPC. I will say that it was slightly disappointing to see them support the ANJRPC so much but more or less dismiss the NJ2AS on the basis that ANJRPC pays lobbyists to support our cause in Trenton, vs NJ2AS which utilizes a "boots on the ground" approach. In the end if there were enough members to vote to donate to NJ2AS the club's money would go there, as well. They also made a note that they had recently made a donation using club funds to help a war veteran in need. I thought that was worthwhile as well. As far as Hodgie's comment's on being able to use .357 rifle's or draw from a holster I agree that in the pit's you are on your own and should be allowed to do as you please. I plan on entering the needed 3 events to qualify for the "draw from holster" badge required by the club to do so at the range. It is a nuisance but I will go shoot the steel, have fun doing it, and then go to the meeting to get the badge. Shouldn't need to, but I'm just gona play by the rules and do it. If you want to come see the place pm me and we can set up a time. I travel for work sometimes so we might have to set it up a few weeks in advance.

I am also going to be looking for a new car soon. I have had luxury cars (2 audi's) and economy cars (honda accord, honda prelude, and a mazda 3 hatchback) and I can say that once you go luxury it is difficult to go back to an economy car. That being said, the more expensive cars not only cost more off the bat but also more to fix, and are generally not worth it imo unless you don't care about spending the money. I had an Audi A6 that I sold before I bought my current car (mazda 3 hatch) and I was paying almost $4k a year to maintain the Audi, whereas after almost 5 years of owning the Mazda I have only paid for oil changes and tires. That being said, the Audi was about 5000x more fun to drive, and more comfortable, and looked prettier, etc. I was thinking of a CPO A4 as my next car, but after looking around the Jetta GLI seems to be very comparable except for the lack of awd, and it is $5k less brand new than the CPO a4.

Not saying this is the best deal out there but if you are looking for a forged lower $165 with no shipping isn't terrible. I personally don't need any but thought I would pass it along. http://www.selectarms.com/p-49617-seekins-precision-sp15-forged-lower-reciever-free-shipping.aspx

^ I had a similar experience to this but not as bad. I racked up a bunch of cc debt in college; when i realized what I did went to the parents and they made a knee jerk reaction to pay it off for me. Even though they had the money I didn't think it was right for them to do that and we set up a payment plan for me to pay them back. My credit score never took a hit but I learned a valuable lesson. All bills must be paid in full at the end of the month. After all my debt was paid off I made sure I had a savings buffer to ensure I didn't ever have to borrow money again, and now I know I will never again make the mistake of spending more than I have. Only thing I will buy without having the full amount for is property. Now if I could just stop buying guns I would probably be able to buy more property. Gona have to figure out a way to make more money bc I'm def not gona stop buying guns lol.

i put ~300 rds of .45acp magtech though my xd with no issues. never tried their rifle ammo though.

You won't see me paying that much for 9mm lol. Hell, I'm going to try not to pay that much for .45. I sort of anticipated this coming, so I stocked up on the caliber's I shoot before this mess started. That doesn't mean I am not still looking for more if it is reasonable though. I have about enough to shoot regularly for ~1yr.to 18 months. My benchmark pricing for ammo before the craziness (for brass cased factory ammo, no reloads) was: 9mm - $10/box 45 - $15/box 556 - .40/rd 223 - .30/rd .22lr - $16/brick I also bought several thousand rds of .40SW after the craziness started in anticipation of purchasing a couple .40 handguns when my permits came in (still waiting). Got that for $16/box. I will buy more if it is within 20% of those prices. Right now I'm not holding my breath.

Jeez. Im just gona shoot thru what I have and hope it goes back down to normal by the time im out. Last time i bought 9mm from them in jan it was $10/box for 124gr.
