Another vote for the green stuff. It's all I use now.

I hear Rick at OMG Customs does really good work. He's in Bayonne.

That sucks. But it's no different than getting a parking ticket while you were getting change for the meter. Doesn't make the guys doing their job jack offs. And I really have no problem with someone not getting special treatment because they "know people".

Yup. Put another way, you might stay alive long enough to deal with the law later.

On looks, the Talo. Though Commonsense's comment: Cylinder flutes, square butt conversion grips, and slender barrel all make for better handling qualities. sounds about right.

M&P 9c? I was the guy in the black Phillies hat. I met CzechMark. He was the gentleman with the trilby hat. I think he shot with the last group.

I didn't hear back either. I'll be there as well.

Some googling tells me it was in the cartoon movie "Cars"

I generally use 3M tri-flange plugs and/or cheap Howard Leight muffs, depending on the application. The plugs are polymer, reusable and linked together with a cord. I think they're around $5 for a 3-pack and are 26 NRR. The muffs cost me like $12 and rated 25 NRR. I also keep a bunch of foam plugs* in my range bag and car. Outdoors: Plugs Hunting: Plug in my right ear in case I need to make a quck shot. The left plug ready to go in if I get the chance. Indoors: Usually double up, plugs and muffs. Especially if I'm shooting magnums. Home: Polymer plugs hang on the stock of each shotgun. *That said, I took some new people shooting at GFH last week and didn't realize I was short a set of muffs. I just wore foam plugs and was fine, even with a packed range. (we were shooting 9, 45 and .38, but someone a couple of lanes over was shooting a tacticool, scoped, bipoded AR. At the 25yd range. While there’s a 50yd range in the same building...) TL/DR: Foam or polymer plugs are usually good enough, unless you're hearing is really sensitive. Doubling up is probably better indoors.

According to wiki: 586-4 1994 Drill and tap, synthetic grips, change rear site and extractor. So does that mean that the D&T could be from the factory? Just saw a brand new 686+ for less than $700 on slickguns.com. $375 is still really good, but 6-7 would be too much for used, no? -------------------- OP: good luck, hope its the great deal it sounds like.

Thanks for the heads up! I just emailed the chief RO about attending the other sessions. I'll post the answer as soon I hear back.

Going to tonight's monthly meeting to get my application going.

You sure? Nothing on the website or Sig catalog says it comes w/ SRT.

Still does, I believe. Efinger in Bound Brook has a pretty decent selection of used guns as well.

There are a LOT of models, most with slight differences: http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductList/pistols-p226.aspx

Good call. I just took another look at the FDE and something about it just doesn't work. In FDE, the "Scorpion" (despite the goofy name) is much nicer looking.

MK25 is on my short list as well. The longer I'm in this hobby, the more I feel like all guns should be black/blued.

My semis (all 2 of them) have aside mounted safety/decockers, so it's normal to me. I don't find that they get in the way at all, but maybe I just don't know any better.

Disclaimer: I own both. If only one, the GP for sure. I agree that .38/+p is usually good enough, and preferable for some applications, but why limit yourself if you don't have to? As for investment casting, if the implication is that the Ruger is somehow weaker/less durable because of it, that might be the first time that's ever been alleged. If anything, Ruger revolvers are known for their strength. Also, I actually enjoy shooting .357s at the range and if I ever needed to take an animal with a handgun, I'd feel better about having the magnum. That said, I don't think you'll regret buying either. So go with the one you like best.

haha. You're right. And even though I asked the initial question, I did know the answer. During hunting season, my shotgun will be in the trunk for days sometimes. I guess I just needed some reassurance on the carbine. Because, it seems like such a useful option* that I was just sure NJ blocked it and I somehow was missing that. *Since we can't carry, in an emergncy situation (where you have the extra few seconds), this seems like a no brainer.

Hypothetically: Since a PCC is a long gun, someone w/ a FPID should be able to legally drive around w/ one in their trunk (unloaded, etc) right?

^Agreed. That would be your best course of action at this point.

Good luck, dude. And 40 is not old at all. Look at fields that might mesh w/ things you're good at/have experience in, even if not exactly the same as what you've done before. Just going on your screen name, maybe you could look at agricultural equipment sales. Security work is also a decent option, especially if you get a SORA license.

Damn! Missed it. Though I'm looking for a 5.45
