Combat Auto

+1 - Christie may be our last hope if more crap gets past...Good to be respectful to the office - and be thankful Cuomo is not (our) Governer.

Found a video on them...I'll give one a try...The 7 round mags work great also.

Of course, but it reflects his policy, which I interpret as positive (others views welcome)...Further, he has to be somewhat politically correct (this is not TX :-)). But reading BTWN the lines It looks good to me.

Sounds like he gets what is going on...I think we may be ok at the NJ State level for the next several years (my understanding is that he can veto any bogus bill that passes the State legislation - I think that is). February 8, 2013 Dear Friend: Thank you for writing to express your opposition to new laws regarding gun control. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. Acting on my commitment to take a full and comprehensive look at the intersection of gun control, addiction, mental health and school safety in New Jersey, I have created the NJ SAFE Task Force. The Task Force will be chaired by two former attorneys general of New Jersey and members who have expertise in the fields of mental health diagnosis and treatment, addiction services and treatment, law enforcement and school safety. Violence in our society has never been solely about firearms, and we would miss an opportunity to better prevent the roots of violence if we didn't look at the complete picture. If we are truly going to take an honest and candid assessment of violence and public safety, we have to look more deeply at the underlying causes of many acts of violence. That means removing the stigma and evaluating issues of mental health, addiction, prevention and treatment services alongside the effectiveness of our firearms laws, enforcement mechanisms and our school safety measures. This task force will convene immediately and report back with its findings. My commitment has always been to evaluate public safety, criminal policy and behavioral science with an approach that recognizes that these issues cannot be separated from one another. The SAFE Task Force will further my commitment in that regard as we look at how we can better guarantee violence control. I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you again for writing. Sincerely, Chris Christie Governor Privacy Notice: This e-mail address, e-mail message, and any attachment to this email message containsinformation that is privileged and confidential from the State of New Jersey, Office of the Governor.

Socom, Pizza', and Alec' - You Guys are the BEST, with this kind of help I may sell all my Autos for Revolvers ;-).... Thanks Very Much! -Joe

Do we really want to talk about this letter - dosn't evenn deserve to be posted.

Folks, On another post last week you suggested purple lock tight on the: 1) Strain Screw. 2) Sight leaf screw. 3) Crane retention screw. I need help identifying #s 1 and 3. I think I can guess on #2...(Called S&W and waited 45 mins and couldn't take the "musak" anymore...Search web for parts blow up diagram - found some showing all the screws but no names of the screws included....Manual dosn't include this info either). Thanks very much...

What is a "peirce extensions"?

They do have top notch marketers and copywriters (I took a professional copywriters course and use it on my job all the time)...This, and their seemless coordinated message, and persistance, makes it relatively easy for them to "BRAND" anyone or anything (e.g., what they did to Romni). This is what makes them so effective and dangerous. Especially when many folks don't think, don't reason, don't research, and get there values and guidence from TV-news and the internet (rather than say the bible, meditation, spirit or even history). And why I am against legalizing pot (personally don't care who smokes it - but no rational person can truly believe this is good for our society in general and young kids in particular)...

Agree, education is a game changer a transformer...Most of my freinds that are Anti-Gun, have no clue about the facts, or history.

Never had an HK - but they supposet to be top shelf....If that model you listed is a newer one the eargonoics will be great...They suppose to be very accurate. Look at the Springfield XD line in that price point also. Comes with a Lifetime warrenty...They have all sizes and cals. (I have the XDs and can't praise it enough).

Thanks for the thread...Amazing information.

XDs, the best carry gub ever made IMHO :-)...45 cal, exteemly small 5 or 7 round mag, extreemly accurate for this type of gun...See my two posts on two seperate shoots....Can't beat 45 cal for self defense... For range there are so many chiocis but everyone should be required by Government/Obama ;-) to own a 1911 (in 45 of course).

I watched him on Hanity yesterday and was mesmerized - my political and ethical soul mate...A super inteligent man who come up from nothing...Religous...Believes in the individual rather than the state. Believes in traditional values, respect, education, hard work...Direcet oposite of Obama...I wish this guy would run for President...This country is really, really, really off track currently and we need a leader to save us (kind of like serching for a King in the King Arthur tales ;-))...This guy can pull the Sword from the Stone...How about a Carson-Orubio Ticket?

Folks, I ran accross this great article about lead risk and mitigation explicitly written for shooters... What do you do to mitigate lead exposure (share ideas)? Have any of you long term shooters ever been diagnosed with lead poisining? http://www.corneredcat.com/article/firearms-safety/aiming-for-lower-lead-exposure/

We will have to establish the NJ-Club in TX...This will never stop. "They" are emboldend, brazen, and Not honorable...Alot of this is motivated to make names for themselves

Remour has it Governor Cuomo will push for bill to disarm cops in NYS. Sorry, couldn't help it; this is very serious though. http://www.fox44.com/news/national-news/california-police-look-ex-cop-suspected-officer-shootings

I guess shooting thet 44 mag today got me overly excited! ;-)

I didn't do it. :-(

It has been too long – 3 weeks since my last shoot…I find to stay in the grove, I need to go at least every two week…Took longer today than usual to warm-up and get back “on-target”…If you would care to share how often you shoot to stay in grove I’d be interested to hear? I’ve concluded that in the “cold” – I shoot better with those light neoprene black gloves…Gives me more traction of the pistols… I usually like to shoot only one pistol per session – better to focus on a particular gun and less to clean that week…But right now, I am in the gun a month club as I do not want my permits to go unused. So break-in is the major goal right now….From what I read on various message boards, an automatic typically needs 500-1000 rounds to be fully broken in (and this was my experience on a sig 1911 I own. The trigger was awful until about 1000 rounds and then became sweet almost overnight)…Not sure how to break-in a revolver so if anyone has a rec. I am much obliged? I also believe in training with what I use for HD…That means shooting JHP albeit it is more expensive…I only use Ball on first 500 rounds of a full size auto; and even for less rounds on a smaller auto. I had 1 failure-to-feed in each of the s-autos below (1/100)...I am wondering if this is "normal"? And is the reason I always have two guns ready for HD. 100 JHP rounds on my Kimber Team Match 2 .45 cal 5” today…This gun is a thoroughbred…This is a very accurate gun and getting more accurate every time I shoot it…Has about 700 rounds in total…The 1 and only complaint I have about this gun are the grips…They look really nice with the red/white/blue and the USA-Team logo..But functionally they are a little “slippery”…I put skate tape on my PX4 for this reason but wouldn’t dare do that on this gun…The fore-mention gloves solve the problem but not sure how that will work at the USPSA match in July heat. 100 JHP rounds on my XDs .45 cal pocket pistol today, bringing the round count up to 300 (2nd shoot)…This gun is a kicking mustang and requires a real firm hold in order to maintain accuracy..,And accurate it is for a 3.3” barrel. 25 yard center mass is routine with the right amount of concentration…And you can unload really fast up close into a tight group – just hold on tight…The Range master reprimanded me again for “speed shooting”…The problem I posted on last month was resolved today: Last shoot the slide didn’t always lock back after last round. By holding my right thumb lower (I am righty), into the ergonomic grove in the grip – a tip I learned on the XDs forums, the problem went away (theory is - must not hit the slide release cause of a light spring on this mini-pistol)…I can’t say enough about this pistol truly one of a kind: shooting 45, super small, super-ergonomic, and very accurate. 50 rounds on S&W 629 44 mag, 4” barrel (1st shoot!)…Wow, exceeding all my expectations…What a blast to shoot. Pure fun (with a touch of pain towards the end J)…Super accurate out of the box…I will not even think about adjusting the sights until at least 300 rounds…The “legendary” muzzle rise was not an issue at all for accuracy. I shot really tight groups out to 25 yards (max at range). Of course that is SA…DA is tougher but doable with practice I believe. I was surprisingly able to get-off rounds quickly by Cockin’n-shooting SA when I went for speed…I didn’t feel that I was compromising anything with 4” barrel. The gun felt extremely well balanced, quick on target, and extremely-accurate. If folks with bigger 44mag barrels want to comment on this – I’d appreciate it?…Some wrist pain nearing the 50th round – but I am sure I can do 100 a session if I didn’t shoot 200 45 auto first like I did today…This is a true “hand-cannon” in every sense of the word and I plan on developing my skills with this more. I’d like to integrate this into my home defense plan. Well, hope I didn’t bore you and you got something out of this…Any thoughts along these lines from you pistoleros is always appreciated!

Yes backward progress values...Personally, someone wants to smoke pot - your business...But I grew up in a rough and tumble nighborhood and most of the "Professional"-Pot smokers (not the experiementers mind you) - were mentally stunted at least at the margins as teenagers and most remained more or less like that...Just another way for the progressives to dumb down society so you might be more reliant on big gov't and they can control you more...Just another pixal in their grand society vision.

+10!^^^^^ Amazing and agree! This is not about being politically correct - it is about DEMANDING OUR RIGHTs! Only way you get anything in this country. Think of past movements where a group has been singled out like we are being singled out now. They won by fighting (within the law of course), not complying and being PC...What has being PC got us? Stand and Fight! (NRA slogan). -Folks want to bash this Kid for being brave, in the law, and excercising his rights? Are you kidding? Shame, shame, shame, on you.

If he is staying in the law, and it appears that he did as they didn't arrest him - Cops have no right to hassel him...If it is legal to carry open there (apparently it is), they are discriminating against him because he is a gun owner...I find it amazing that some folks here don't support his action - maybe you've lived in NJ too long. Kid has alot of guts....Lot more than I would have in a similiar situation.

very nice...

Old Dog, I am envious and may move to a more friendly state if this (unlikley i think) goes through...I am for background checks, and I can tolerate the BS NJ paper work to buy pistols, but this law would severly hamper our ability to defend ourselves in the home and may be the last "straw".....I can telecomute from anywhere in USA...Let's hope there will always be good states to move to.
