the targets & other general accessories is the only thing that looks interesting to me.. (not that i will bid, i dont have any $$)

if it makes you feel any better, I also got a VP9 from Steve...

at many public indoor ranges, pretty sure the most you can do is work on strong & weak hand shooting and one v. 2 handed. Many ranges will not let you draw and fire, and most will not let you rapid fire (more than perhaps a double tap). in my case, just getting the aiming correct is struggle enough.

Im pretty boring at this time.. 9mm (x3), .22lr (1 pistol, 1 rifle), .38spl, .357mag, 12ga... but working on an AR, so soon .223/5.56

Yeah, yeah.. another ridiculously smooth transaction at Steve's, as always. Stellar conversation, met a forum member or 2.. We laughed, we cried, we shared our thoughts and dreams.. (OK, we didn't cry or share our thoughts & dreams, but still...) Dante (err, Steve) was brilliant as always..

For plinking/range shooting, I use whatever i can get that's cheap(ish). Freedom Munitions, GA Arms, High Country are all decent... I also have some Blazer, AE, Rem UMC, Fiocchi, Herters Select, Magtech, PPU... At places like Freedom Munitions or High Country (or LAX or Ventura), you can usually get their commercial reloads for less than $12/50... Havent had an issue with any of the brands I mentioned. For HD, I have some Critical Duty, Critical Defense & Fed Hydra-Shok. (my HD 9mm's are loaded with Critical Duty)

Why do people think this is something new? They have been doing this for year, in every state. I can remember going through these things in upstate NY 20 years ago.

shouldnt really be all that hard... they're huge and they're f*cking everywhere

didnt seem to bother him too much when we were hearing DING....DING...DING....DING....DING

exactly.. and not sure i want to upgrade to tritium yet anyway..

im guessing his lawyer(s) told him not to talk to anyone about the situation....

oh wait, he DOESN'T live in NJ...

Finally got mine to the range today. Fantastic gun. Feels great, shoots great, much more accurate than I am. Not a single hiccup. Definitely a keeper

Yeah, this isnt a defense in NJ.

I guess im a little on the neurotic side.. considering i dont shoot as much as many here (once a month-ish), i tend to clean a decent amount after each range trip.. mpro7 down the barrel and on the internals.. toothbrush scrub on the internals, wipe off with shop towels (or microfiber cloth), brush & patch in the barrel.. let it dry, grease rails (EWG or tw25b), oil internals a bit.. re-assemble.. takes longer than 10 minutes just cuz i dont go that fast...

all kidding and hawt women aside... carrying a firearm on your hip around an office where you see patients all day who may or may not be comfortable with guns is not the best idea in the world unless you clearly post in your office that you may be carrying a concealed firearm. Last thing you will need is for a patient to notice you have one and then tell the cops they were uncomfortable in your office since you had a loaded weapon on you. Legal or not, you could get in a bind at the time As for drawer v. safe, I cannot think that keeping a loaded firearm in an unlocked drawer is good in any circumstance. Your access aside, you do not need your employees or nosy patients accidentally finding it and doing something stupid. YOU would be liable for that.. IMO, a keypad safe would probably be best since biometric wont work (as someone pointed out, gloves, etc) and a dial combo lock takes too long. Even if you are the owner of the business, your other employees may NOT be comfortable with a gun lying around.. Just my 2¢.. Dont want to see anyone get in a bind needlessly. Our fantastic gun laws in NJ force these stupid conversations to happen.. (conversation is not stupid, but we shouldnt NEED to talk about it)

:drool:

9mm (critical duty), 22lr (mini mags) in my wife's nightstand, 38spl (JHP) and soon to be 357.. depends on what room im in

I am guessing it will be pretty much similar to the M&P22 only with a shorter barrel and adjustable rear sights (from the look of it). Wonder if the mags are interchangeable...

this

ive been a hammer fired guy since i started shooting (which, granted, has only been a year and a half, i just happen to like hammers better), but i figured it was time to add one striker fired to my collection. Dont like Glocks (tried one, felt quite unnatural to me), and ive shot a few M&P's and while they were OK, they didnt thrill me. The only striker fired that i held that felt really comfortable in my hand was the PPQ. From what I heard, the VP9 felt as nice as the PPQ and possibly even more so. Trigger was also very very good from what i heard. So I picked one up from Monmouth Arms. Everything I heard was true. Trigger felt great (light & crisp) and erognomics felt great out of the box. Couple that with the back & side strap changing, and i got it to feel even better in my hands. Crappy part is, I havent gotten to shoot it yet. (only been about a week or so). But that will come soon.

is this before or after their "renovations"?

Signed up as a life member last year when they were running their big $300 special. Have had a few calls here and there from them, but nothing overwhelming.

im slowly workin on my first build too.. picked up a spikes lower from steve (monmouth arms) and got a LPK from PSA.. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/16447/category/4217/
