No idea. I was just shopping for 223 and when I found this deal, figured I would share

Not sure if this is good bad or indifferent. http://www.ammo2u.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=garden_flypage.tpl&product_id=252&category_id=15&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 With Shipping it was $380 to my door. They have 33 at this price as I type this. This is the best price I found on this ammo by $50.

Thanks guys. Should be picking them up Tuesday Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID). FID and 2 PP 2. Police Department where you applied. Jersey City PD 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. Don't remember but JCPD has 2 dedicated officers 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit. Should have them Monday, according to JCPD and that makes 20 Days! 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). Standard 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.). All went well. Very friendly and profesional. Applied 11/28, printed 12/5 and today (12/13) they told me should be ready to pick up 12/17. Can't really complain about 20 days in NJ

Update. Dropped off paperwork 11/28 Printed 12/5 Ref letters adn employer letter were in hand within 1 week. Just spoke to JCPD and told all was done, waiting on Chief. They indicated I should call back on Monday 12/17 and should be ready. If that holds true, it will be 20 days from app to issuing!

I am in the same boat as you. I get way too deep into all my hobbies and anything worth doing is worth competing in. You can see my thread a little lower in this section. I went to Heritage Guild in Easton and tried out all the pistols I was interested in before making my decision. It was very helpful to me and well worth the $100 it cost, as I am 100% confident in the pistol I ended up choosing. I have zero real experience, so I can not give you any recomendations, re: pistols.

Just put down money on my FS and CX4 at Heritage Guild, Branchburg. The CX4 in 92 Magazine is almost impossible to find right now. HG pricing was good on both guns. JCPD said 2-3 weeks after fingerprinting, so hopefully I will have these in hand before New Year!

Thanks for the feedback/welcomes. Like I said, this is my impression after a whopping 25 rounds per. The 92 is going to be pistol #1, but that 225 and a compact PX4 are on the list as well. I am waiting on 2 P2P, should be 2 more weeks.

I am new in the pistol arena. I shot a lot as a teen, but nothing worth mentionig re: pistols. I recently took NRA Basic pistol. I am in the market for a 9MM, and after speaking with friends, researching here and other sites, I narrowed my choices down to 4 guns: Beretta 92FS Beretta PX4 Sig 226 Glock 17 I like the DA/SA option. Glock is in there because, well, it kinda has to be, with the popularity and reputation of the brand. I have large, but not huge hands (XL to XXL gloves). I am 5'10" and 250, so I have a little mass behind me. I have good upper body strength. Yesterday, I went to Heritage Guild in Easton and shot 25 rounds through each pistol. Spent time working the controls and trying the DA action of the 3 DA/SA pistols. Shot the DA pistols in both DA and SA modes. Again, this is my very limited experience and very limited try out speaking, by no means am I offering an opinion beyond that scope. One of the Range Officers, Doug, at Heritage was a great help and gave me pointers as I went along in the tryout. I bought a paper target with 5 seperate round targets on it, 1 for each weapon, with 1 left over. Target was 5 yards down range. I was not shooting for bulls, I was shooting to get the feel of each gun. First up was the PX4. I was not very accurate with it, and the group was fairly spread out. The gun felt good in hand and controls worked for me. After my first clip of 10, Doug pulled the target back and use a magic marker to color in the bull, which helped. Gave me some pointers on trigger squeeze. Put another 15 through the PX4, with better results, but still a fair spread. I then went to the 92FS. Immediately liked the feel of the gun in hand. Controls were good. Trigger squeeze was good. I put 10 rounds through the gun and could not see where I was hitting on the target. Pulled the target back and all 10 went into a 1.5" group or so, dead center. So neadless to say, this gun worked best for me. I put another 10 through it and all 10 went into the same hole. I was leaning towards this gun beforehand, and this limited test pushed me even further. Glock 17 was next. I did not like the magazine release. All other controls were fine. I actually shot this gun well, with a 2" grouping. Accurate, easy to aquire the target. Did not particularly like the hold on the gun, though. Only put 20 rounds through it. Sig 226 I know Sig is a great weapon. I did not find it fit me very well. I found myself trying to avoid all the controls on the left side, when gripping the pistol. Shot reasonable accurate with it, but probably a 3" group. It had the least recoil. Shot about 20 rounds through it. I then went back to the PX4, since I had calmed down and was shooting more accurately. My grouping improved with the final 20 rounds I put through the gun. Somewhere near the Glock grouping size, slightly larger. Doug then let me shoot his Sig 225. I actually liked that very much and was very accurate with it as well. I would put it in second place behind the 92FS So with this info in hand, I can say that the 92FS will be my first pistol purchase. I like the feel of the weapon, and in this limited exposure, it was the most accurate for me. I may go with a 92A1. YMMV

New member here. My girlfriend and I have decided we want to own firearms. In my teeen years, I did a good deal of long arm shooting and even built a CVA black powder kit I put a lot of ammo through. It has been years (20) since I shot firearms and I have no pistol experience to speak of. I am a huge believer in training for any activity you are going to pursue. I have extensive training on motorcycles and scuba, for instance. We live in Jersey City and decided on NJ Firearms academy, mostly due to proximity. My thought was that the NRA course would be fairly standard between instruction locations. We paid full price, which included a membership to the range. The class was held at the range, and the range is not overly impressive. Given the age and location, this was not unexpected. The class itself was held with the students sitting on chairs in a small room off the range. No desks or tabes, which was kind of odd, but NBD. The chief instructor, Letief (sp?) was clearly well versed and personable. The class progressed well and covered the materials in good detail. When it came to range time, the structure broke down a bit. There was a good deal of waiting around and not doing anything. I am not speaking of a situation where some students were shooting and others waited, which was handled well by NJFA. They sent half the class to lunch while half shot, and then switched. I am referring to all students sitting in the class and instructors just kind of hanging out and BSing with us. Good talk, but not what I signed up for. Like many people from the NYC area, patience is not one of my virtues. Given what we covered, the shooting, etc, I firmly believe the class could have been completed in 6 hours instead of the 8 it actually took. We got to shoot 4 or 5 different hand guns of various calibers. At the end we had a shooting contest among the students for a prize pack. Summary: Good school, good instructors. Price a bit high, but location trumps that for me. Classroom left somethign to be desired, but given limited space, what can you do. Class could be a lot shorter, or more shooting or cover more. We were learning and ate lunch in 6 hours. 2 hours of sitting around got to be a bit much. But it was good conversation during that time. Overall I recomend them, but will be trying other facilities for some of the other courses I want to take, after I get my FID and PP. (3-4 weeks?)

Hi. Brand new guy, been lurking for a while. Jerse City has been easy so far. Went in to the PD Monday, 11/28. Dropped off paperwork, etc. Put in application for FID and 2 PP. Was in and out in about 30 minutes. Both my references and employer got their letters yesterday and all have been sent back. Had my prints done today. JCPD asked me to call them and tell them when this was completed. Did that. They told me give it a couple weeks and to call to check on process. During the interview they told me about 3-4 weeks after I got printed, everythign should be ready. Seemed like easy enough guys to work with. We will see in a couple weeks.
