I'm not biased to semi auto handguns, I just want to keep the caliber 9mm or 45, there are some revolvers in those calibers I'm sure, but I'm not aware of any by name. The Makarov is a nice gun, but it's got too many negatives for me. Odd caliber and a slide mounted safety are big drawbacks. I'd rather not buy too many calibers of handgun ammunition because I'm already in that boat with my rifles. I have a variety of odd calibers not listed in my signature..

I already have a Norinco 1911. I don't want 2 of the same gun even if it's a different caliber. I guess a Commander 9mm would be the equivalent of buying a Glock 17 though since I already have a G30. I'll look into the FNS-9 and the FNX-45 but apparently the 45 is a single/double action with a decocking safety. I find the safeties like that stupid so I'll probably avoid that model.

I have 3 permits, one will be used on a Norinco 213 (9mm TT-33 copy with frame safety). I'm debating how to use the other two. I'd like to buy either 9mm or 45ACP THINGS I LIKE Manual safety Single action only Striker fire THINGS I DON'T LIKE Decockers Single/Double action Safeties/Decockers on slide THINGS I DON'T WANT FOR SURE M&P series (DON'T LIKE THEM!) GLOCK 19 (I already have a G30 SAME SIZE!) I've been doing a little research and have checked out a few guns, but I'm open to more suggestions. I've all but eliminated SIG's from my want list. the P220 SAO model has very little in terms of aftermarket and I did not care for how the gun felt in my hand. I really like the Jericho 941 with the frame mounted safety, but it's not exactly easy to find. There is the Canik Shark though.. I also really liked the HK USP variant 5, despite being DAO. I'm thinking of checking out the PX4 DAO models without safeties, the Glock 17, XD45 5", and the PT92 with the frame safety (DA/SA alas...) I ALREADY HAVE THE FOLLOWING CZ-75BD Police (I regret not buying the SAO model to this day). Browning Hi Power (love at first sight) Norinco 1911 (see above) Glock 30 Anything else I should give a look? I'm a big fan of the more obscure guns that still have common calibers.

For what it's worth, if you haven't already bought one, my father has this gun. He was looking at the CZ-75 because he likes mine, but wanted something in .45, with a manual safety, single/double action and with an accessory rail. He was looking at a variety of guns and went with this. Out of the box it is phenomenal to shoot, incredibly accurate with cheap Geco .45ACP. It is his home defense gun with his 92fs being regulated to the closet (he has some type of shotgun as a backup..). I would buy it for myself, but I don't like single/double action, though I did enjoy using his gun at the range. I believe he bought it locally too, Bullet Hole or something.. The finish and build quality are on par with any of the other manufacturers. He only had 2 issues that I am aware of. The spring inside the magazine was rough at first, so it wouldn't accept all 14 rounds. That fixes itself with time. The second issue was that the magazine would require you to "slap" it into the gun, also fixed with some time.

I want one. I don't care if it's junk or bla bla bla, I love the design of it and it's a must have for me. Does anybody have one or has anybody seen one in NJ? They're incredibly rare even on the net.

what about for AK platforms too? There rae a lot of AK guys that would like a 15rd mag, myself included. I had 30's pinned.

Forget 7.62x39 for the Kalish and get a 5.45x39 chambered rifle. see my post in your other thread.

forget 7.62x39 and buy a Kalish variant in 5.45x39. It's cheaper, and is one of the most deadly rounds on the market in a self defense situation. There's plenty of videos on the net if you look. The SAR 2 is a good choice, I have one and I can outshoot a lot of guys with AR's at my range (after 100m they will probably be more accurate).

The current scope is a bushnell banner dusk 4-12x40 and I can't see the target with it, not a 3-9x40 like I originally stated. It's not exactly a quality scope. At 100 yards everything is very blurred to me. I am hoping to get a scope with GOOD glass not an el cheapo like I currently have.

Can folding buttstocks be permanently pinned? I like the idea of the 16" barrel with the shorter stock. I can imagine the recoil is nasty on this though.

From the reading I'm doing it seems that a "quality" 3-9x40 trumps the $80 bushnell I'm currently using. I'm looking on the net and at the evil auction site. I've found a few "pre-Monarch" Japanese make Nikon scopes around $200. I'm going to assume these are superior to their made in wherever counterparts that are on the market today. I should note this is on a 24" Remington 700 in 308. I'm going to upgrade to that sweet AICS stock one day..

I like what you get for what you pay with these scopes. Will probably buy used. Looking at the ones with the illuminated reticle. Easton is only 100yrds. I currently have a 3-9x40 and it doesn't seem to magnify enough for 100 yards (coupled with my poor eyesight). What power should I look into?

I have the Glock 30. It's currently the only polymer handgun I have. If I could go back, I would get the 21. The 30 is the same size as the 19 (roughly) and even though I have incredibly small hands I find the larger grip surface far more comfortable. I have the Glock 21 magazines in mine with the grip extension for increased comfort. If I were in your shoes and looking for a polymer 9mm I would consider the Glock 17, SP2022, FNX-9. If we remove caliber from the equation then the Taurus 24/7 OSS, CZ P-07 and Springfield XD/XDM become attractive options. The Taurus has the best combination of features and is on my short list. It also looks very cool and was tested in the joint combat pistol competition by the US military.

I like my Glock 30. It's very nice and great for the price. It is consistent and very easy to use. I purchased the Glock 21 magazines with the AG magazine spacer and now it's full sized. I still do prefer my Hi-Power for home defense though.

I don't want to buy too many calibers. Trying to standardize for cost effectiveness. 9 & 45 are enough. Magazine capacity isn't really an issue. If they do in fact make a 10rd model I'm going to look into it. It's not like we can carry in NJ anyway so what's the difference between 10 and 17 :wild:

I'm not sure who'd be willing to do a transfer like that. Perhaps if I get it done out of state. I was under the impression that a guns serial number also indicates how many rounds the magazines are capable of holding for that model gun. If that's not the case a Steyr GB would be in my hands right now!

And does anyone have it? I held the doublestack 45 model awhile ago and with the small strap it was HUGE in my hand. I was looking at the SP2022 but for the price and features included (I like external safeties), the FNX-9 seems like a better choice.

I bought a Colt M4 and a Sar 2 (5.45). I hate the Colt. Very picky about which ammo you use and has to be extremely well maintained. I'd buy an AK, preferably in 5.45 as it's super cheap right now (175$ for 1080rds). I am looking to build a Vietnam SP1 M16 though, but after that I'm done with the AR platform. The FAL and AK's are far more interesting and I'd like to get a few of each.

Buy an AK, sell both AR's, buy 4 more AK's.

I didn't say I don't have the money, I can't justify spending that much on any gun. The Saiga is a quality rifle there's no doubt about it, if you don't think so you're mistaken. I never called WASR's quality, I said they sell fast because of their price. A $600 M14 would sell like wildfire too. Springfield has a monopoly on that rifle and charges an outrageous price for it. The Norinco M14 in Canada sells new for like $400

To be honest as long as the barrel and receiver are okay I don't care if the gun looks like it was laying somewhere in Khe Sanh for 40 years. I think there really is room in the market for a decent M14 in the 600-1000$ range new. The WASR AK's sell like wildfire and so do the Saiga's. Saiga's are quality!

Norinco and Polytech are banned by name correct? I cannot justify $1000+ on a Springfield. Is there any middle ground in the $700-800 range for us NJ residents? Made in America is not of concern to me as long as it functions correctly.

I have no pity for this young fellow. There are plenty of programs in place that he could have reaped the benefits of instead of resorting to a life of violence. I know plenty of people that have cleaned up their acts and found well paying jobs/joined a union that used to be thugs.

To be honest I'm probably going to just wait for sub $400 WASR prices. Apparently there was a huge increase during the 2008 election and I'm willing to bet by this time next year (if they aren't banned) they'll be back down in price again. If I'm going to shell out the quid to do a conversion, I'd rather it be a VEPR than a SAIGA. Less work and looks better.
