Linden turn around time
Wow, I'm one town over in Rahway and it's actually not bad here. About 1 month turnaround, extensions granted no problem. They give you the reference forms to get filled out yourself, and if it's within 6 months of your last permit you don't need references at all.

1911 in 9mm?
I use 115 exclusively in my RIA 1911 and it's as reliable as any other 9mm I've shot.

IDPA Classifier Match / Easton / August 25, 2013
I would really like to go shoot the classifier, but with this requirement I'm not going to bother. I've been shooting for several years and can recite the 4 rules by heart, I started IDPA several months ago, have been to 4 events and haven't racked up a single safety violation. Never swept anyone at the range, never had an ND. But if I wanted to go to this event... well, there was a basic pistol course today for $273, missed that. But there's one on Thursday... for $250. I work during the week anyway. But there's 2 on Saturday! And one is only $175... plus a $25 range fee. The other is $195, but limited to 4 people. I think I'll just stay unclassified for now.

Hot dogs... What's your favorite?
Yep, Windmill at Brighton & Ocean. On the north end of town there's also the Lighthouse at Rt 36 & Ocean. Has anyone been to Destination Dogs in New Brunswick? It's a gourmet take on hot dogs but some of them are outstanding- last time I went I had a Texan dog- boar sausage, pork belly, chicharrones, and chipotle mayo.

Transport of handguns in a range bag legal?
My guns go in their plastic cases, unloaded of course, and the cases go into the range bag, along with several boxes of ammo. That goes in my "trunk", as I drive a hatchback without a separate trunk. Yes, I stop for gas. Yes, I stop for coffee and a bagel. I don't display any NRA bumper stickers/window decals, I don't leave shell casings in the cupholders, don't do anything that might indicate firearms in the vehicle.

FN Five SeveN MK2 Pistol
...Looks around.... really? no one? Fine, I'll post it... MAIN POINT OF SELLING BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS EXTREME PRICE OF WEAPON AND CARTRIDGE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON OF MAN WHO WEARS EXPENSIVE ITALIAN FASCIST SUIT OF HAND SEWING, DRIVE HUGE EXPENSIVE NAZI MERCEDES OF A.M.G. SHOP, SAIL ON MASSIVE YACHT TO GREEK ISLANDS. I THINK YOU GET PICTURE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON THAT SAYS IS NO SUCH THING AS CONCERN OF MONEY. FOR MAN WITHOUT EXPENSIVE SUIT, BIG BLACK MERCEDES, AND MASSIVE YACHT, BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS FOR PRETENDING OF BE RICH LIKE BLACK GANGSTER OF AMERICAN CITY WITH GOLD CHAINS OF LOW QUALITY AND JEWELS OF COLORED GLASS. WHEN YOU EXPLAIN USE OF BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS ONLY FOR SHOOT MAN WITH BULLET VEST WITH CARTRIDGE ILLEGAL TO CIVILIAN, THIS MAN HAS NUCLEAR RAGE. WHOLE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN IS SPENT IN PRETEND PISTOL SHOWS HE IS RICH. IS VERY AMUSE. FOR REST OF WORLD THERE IS 9 MILLIMETERS OF LUGER WHICH IS SAME WOUND FOR COST LESS.

Finally installed HDMI cables on 6 year old plasma
No, only if you have an old analog TV. Any modern TV is digital and you can plug the antenna right in. I bought a powered antenna for about $20 from Monoprice, and I get all the broadcast channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) plus some others.

Finally installed HDMI cables on 6 year old plasma
Broadcast engineer here. HDMI is a good quality, high bandwidth solution for consumer stuff, but if you ask me it's far more complex than it needs to be, mostly because of DRM support. In the studio/field, we deal with uncompressed HD via HD-SDI- which we run over regular ol' coax with BNC connectors. Which is why I have to laugh at people who insist on gold plated, gas injected HDMI cables for that last 6 feet between the cable box and the TV- that signal traveled through hundreds of feet of coax before it even got to your house. As an interesting aside, if you live in an area with decent reception, try hooking up an antenna and comparing the picture quality to cable- the antenna will give you better picture, since it hasn't been subjected to compression by the cable company to save bandwidth.

Question about .25 ACP Handguns

Natchez. 22LR in stock
To each their own. My M&P22 loves GB, my last brick I went 525 rounds with exactly one misfire- I put that round back in and it fired the second time around.

Who does mag blocking services.
Arms & Ammo in Hammonton- $10 apiece and the last set I bought, they were done the day they arrived at the shop. Totally worth the drive.

Some more IDPA questions
Yea the GP100, I could use the IWB I bought but it's next to impossible to re-holster, and I wouldn't want to have to stand around all day with that big gun stuffed in my pants. I do have beltclips for the speedloaders, so maybe I'll get a decent holster for it soon and I'll have an option for when the 9mm runs out. I have actually been practicing with it and am getting much better- it might be the most accurate gun I own.

Some more IDPA questions
Thanks! How early would you recommend arriving?

Some more IDPA questions
Well I finally got a spot off the waitlist for Somerset! Now for more questions: 1. I had hoped to shoot my revolver, but I've had bad luck with holsters- first one I bought was an IWB which is both uncomfortable and impossible to re-holster, second was OWB that didn't cover the trigger. So I'll be bringing my 1911. But if I do find a suitable holster at some point, can I shoot 2 divisions in one day? Or do you have to pick and choose? 2. Can you load your first magazine to 11, so you start with 10+1? Or do you have to chamber a round then swap for a full mag? 3. What is the procedure for removing the gun from its case, clearing it and holstering it- can you go do that on your own, or do you wait until it's your turn to shoot? 4. Do the magazines on your belt also need to be concealed? Or just the gun? That's it... for now...

Kinda wish it had a longer barrel.

Union County Sheriff's Range open to public
Yep Rahway has been easy, (relatively) quick turnaround and they don't require reference letters if you apply for a P2P within 6 months of your last one. Renewals are also automatic if you need them.

Input on Smith MP 22.
I have one and it's been great, it eats the cheap Remington ammo like candy- but is a lot more accurate with Mini Mags. I do keep it pretty clean, generally every other range trip I'll clean it. The only problem I've had is using WWB ammo- it would often fail to pick up the next round from the magazine, but the slide would still close, so I kept dry firing it accidentally.

Federal .22LR
Sold out. It's sad but that's the best deal I've seen in weeks, for high velocity .22. Bulk pack too, Cabela's had Minimags for $8.99 earlier today, but a limit of 1 box made it not even worth ordering.
