That stuff was what, a couple hundred bucks? How much is your integrity worth? My bet is when you called both companies they thanked you, told you to keep the mags and charged for the ammo - as it should be.

That's how it's written up in the brochure, but at the range the gun feel like it almost resets on recoil. Shortest reset I've felt this side of a custom 1911.

Seems like more of a novelty to me. How fast would that be to draw? Would you have to ask the attacker to "hold" while you take a call?

How about asking them for advice on dealing with permitting delays or additional requirements put in place by towns?

and they (NJSC and Legislature) seem to be working very hard to prevent a 2a case from making it to the NJSC for as long as possible. The Pantano case is a good example. They know NJ laws wouldn't stand, just like Mass, but are holding on as long as possible. It all comes down to votes. The legislature doesn't see any benefit to them in changing NJ laws, only a downside.

Having read that, it seems like the legal equivalent of a beatdown to the Mass court. Not sure how it can be misread to be anything other than that. Massachusetts is under notice by the court to reform based on how I read it. Whether they will or not will move slowly through the courts, but it's a win at the USSC level that reinforces Heller and McDonald. That the decision was 8-0 is a big deal - no dissent, and nothing for the opposition to latch onto.

I don't have a permit in front of me but I believe it's 7 days. Definitely not "when you get around to it". As you noted, responsibility is on the seller to notify the "authorities" by sending in the white and yellow copies of the P2P. Until that happens the seller is still the "registered" owner.

They were imported by Magnum Research and sold as the "Baby Desert Eagle" for a while...

One of my houses was listed as being in a flood zone and initially required insurance, but I was able to make the case that, while part of the land was in the flood plain, the house itself was outside the flood area so it shouldn't need to be insured. The only thing I needed to do for that was show the updated survey. It would only work if you happen to be on the edge of the flood plain but might be worth a try if you have a stream on the property that causes the designation.

The 229. I cant comfortably/securely hold the 224, that's why I never bought it. It felt like a 229 with the bottom of the grip cut off (which is what it is). Fired one with a 229 mag / pinky extension and it felt just like a 229, which is why I'm interested in the 229c. The 224's are fairly cheap for a sig. I can only guess it's because they didn't sell well. Nothing otherwise wrong with them that I know of.

I what regard? I have 6 sigs - p220 Nitron, p227 SAS, p226 Legion Sao, p229 Legion, and 2 1911's (Tacops and a GSR/RCS compact). Of the p-series, the 229 to me is the best all-around. Great at the range, sized to carry if you ever do that. For whatever reason I just shoot it well. If I had to reduce my collection the 229 would be one of the last to go. The 220 is like a da 1911 with Sig controls and the 227 is a higher capacity 220. The 226 platform feels the same as a 229 to me though it is larger in grip and barrel. All are more accurate than I am and have never given me any problems. I also like the availability of the caliber conversion kits. I'm very interested in both the p225 that is now out, and the 229c. I'm a sig guy but someone already had the username on the forum

What about looking for a used revolver from someone who used to complete? Granted, anything that was tuned for competition has probably been around at least since the mid '80s, and technology has changed since then, but I came across an old Ruger Security Six that was obviously someone's competition piece given all the custom work done to it. I don't compete so have no idea on how the classes work but this one was so cheap I couldn't pass it up.

I'm a sig fan, but to me the 224 is a solution in search of a problem. The grip is too short for me to comfortably hold it. That said, think of it as a compact 229. Shorter grip and shorter barrel. Great if your duty weapon is a 229 and you want something similar to carry off-duty, the 229 mags will fit the 224 if you add the pinky extension. Depending on what you are really looking for, research the 229c (a new model recently announced). That's a 229 frame with a 224 slide. The LGS near me was selling some new 224's cheap last year - something like $549 for an Equinox. Thought hard on that but passed. Just couldn't get comfortable holding it.

The advantage to the sig classic series is the ability to change calibers, and buying the Classic with a conversion kit is cheaper than the other way around. If you want to practice your trigger work with cheap ammo, it's a nice way to do it. But, as other mentioned, the sig pistols feel "numb" to me in .22lr since they are fairly heavy. As for your original question - yes, you need another Sig. Everyone does...

As he said, look for boot covered in grease. I've had inner joints go bad and show up as intermittent vibrations. If a boot is gone the joint needs to be replaced since getting them cleaned is more work than just replacing the shaft.

While you're there look at the CV joints...

Thanks, I think. I'm not opposed to using guilt to get what I want. Hell, my wife has been doing it to me for years. I understand. I already have too much regret from getting rid of things I wish I had back.

Those look great. Remind me of the stocks included on the Ruger Match Champion. One of the most comfortable OEM set I've ever shot. ...and I'm still looking for those N-frame target stocks. I know, they're on ebay all the time but I'm hoping to buy local. I've thought about buying a set of the knock-offs but my whole reason for wanting them is to put the gun back to original condition.

Congrats! Beautiful piece...

In a striker-fired platform take a look at the Ruger SR45. For whatever reason it just always felt soft to me. Dull, but soft.

The rabid anti-2a are all dems, but not all dems are rabid anti-2a. Several folks I shoot with are Dems. The 2a doesn't seem to be an issue for them when it comes to pulling the lever. Makes for some "interesting" conversations. They don't believe the dems will follow through with any of the confiscation nonsense and have no problem with "common sense" changes since all they do is blow holes in paper and would never consider ccw. Head in the sand types.

Range report - The trigger is even better after having shot it. At 7 yards the first 15 rounds were all in the 10-ring in 1 jagged hole on an 8" target. The trigger is smooth and the reset is as good as any I've shot.

Street price seems to be about $1200-$1250 locally, a bit less on Gunbroker but then shipping and xfer brings it up to that level again anyway. If you want to try a legion with an even better trigger try the 226 SAO. I have that one on hold waiting for OGAM. The contoured frame on the Legion was a factor to me because I like the undercut trigger guard and the grips themselves, well I love the G10 grips. The pistol feels a bit narrower with them and the texture is comfortable and sticky without being aggressive.

I don't have an SP01 to compare it to, but I have a 75 compact and an 85 tactical. The Legion trigger is comparable to them in DA (maybe a bit lighter pull though), but it is in a different league SA. The reset is much shorter and the break is crisp, without the take-up common to the CZ and Sig platform. Almost like a 1911. If you like Sigs, then considering the Legion already comes with the SRT, great sights and includes a third mag the extra cost seems like a no-brainer to me. Everything else is a bonus.

Think of the Legion as a custom shop version. The beaver tail is trimmed, it's got a GhostGuns short-reset trigger and an action job, the finish is a Gray Nitron, it has night sights and the G10 grips are unique. There are a couple of freebies you get from Sig after the sale too. The trigger is fantastic. It's the shortest reset this side of a 1911. I can't wait to see what it's like after a couple hundred rounds. Considering the price over a "standard" 229 or even some of the other versions I think it's a bargain.
