I bought the same and can't wait to finish it off, not only is it dirty crap but it smells to high hell when you fire it. Think I only have 100 rounds of it left. I guess you pay for what you get

A few months ago I replaced my old Linksys unit with a Netgear R6300 v2 and it works great. Connections are reliable and fast. I even use it to stream Amazon Prime videos over Chrome wirelessly to my Chromecast unit on the big screen TV with no issues. I point this out because it adds a very heavy load to the system. Unlike streaming Netflix this is downloading from the internet to my computer then sending it back to the router and then over WiFi sending it to the Chromecast so it is using 3X bandwidth and I have no latency issues as all.

How can you have a school rifle team when they lock down schools if you even use the word "gun" I remember growing up on Long Island in the 1970's and one of our public elementary schools had an indoor rifle range in the basement.

Yup he did, I saw the 18 but thought he was older than that now. In that case it is most likely a significant issue as you have to be 21 to have a handgun in NJ

Well growing up on the west side of NYC shooting was not something one even considered doing. I first fired a .22LR bolt action rifle at summer camp when I was about 10 years old. Had not touched another gun for over 40 years. When Hurricane Sandy hit with all the looting, Newtown with all the antigun talk, and our fearless Liar-in-Chief started with gun ban talk I decided it was now or never. So, I got on the internet and watched a bunch of videos and learned by watching. Then this past January I went to the range for the first time to put my internet learning to practice. Got my FID in February and started to build my handgun collection since then.

Well OP did not state his age, but in the Nanny State of NJ there might be another issue where he runs afoul of the law - that is if he is under 21.

Went and applied for some more permission slips to buy guns today. When I was a kid I had to ask my mommy for stuff, now I get to go ask my Nanny State.

May Santa leave lots of Ammo under everyone's tree. Have a great one.

Saw this on FB, with the caption: "NJ residents are still prohibited from protecting themselves"

OK, let me end this right here and right now! The 9mm, .40 cal S&W, .45ACP even the lowly .22LR are all FAR SUPERIOR to what Liberal Democrats in the People's Republic of New Jersey want you to able to use!!!!

She made a great pick on that gun. But you do know that Mike secretly works for CZ and steers EVERYONE to them What you think I am lying, just look at what I have below:

Very cute video, thanks.

9mm might be fine for taking down bad guys. But sometimes the "bad guys" aren't people - they are animals, literally. We have had two incidents where I lived where the cops openly stated their 9mm handguns were just about worthless in being able to put down a bear. Sure you don't find many bear in the inner cities, but here in North Western NJ we have a lot of them, and sometimes it is necessary to stop them. I have to think that many of these decisions are based on politics, cost and kickbacks. All things being equal a bigger more powerful round has to be better, that is why the .45cal 1911 was first developed - greater stopping power. Sure bullet technology has improved, but that same technology can be applied to .45 cal not just 9mm. But as has been said, bottom line any of the calibers being discussed should be able to stop the vast majority of bad guys if used properly.

Yup, the full size comes with 16rd mags - but they can be pinned. I bought some at RTSP already pinned at the member price of about $34. Natchessz has (or had) Promag for $17. I was warned that the guns won't lock back on empty with them - but I figured for that price I would try a pair. Both guns lock back just fine with them and I have had no issues at all with them. Sure they are a little thinner metal, but to have a bunch for steel matches they were a good buy. PS - the 10 round mags are more expensive than the 16 pinned.

I have two full sized CZ-75B's and love them (see pictures below). I'm in Morris County though, but if you are up this way you can try them. Since we live in No Carry NJ I see no reason to get anything but a full size gun. The matte stainless one is stock, the black one has competition hammer and sights and VZ grips. Both have safeties not decockers. While I have a 92FS I really don't like decockers and much prefer as safety as you can shoot it in more divisions for both IDPA and USPSA.

This thread is now unofficially closed. It has been totally mis-interpreted and serves no further purpose.

Not an issue, I hear they will leave the package on your roof and you will use your own personal drone to retrieve it

Finally got to pick up my new Dawson STI Trojan 9mm and give her a try today. It has the new markings and with me holding it actually was able to shoot a 2" group at 15 yards

I guess I really stepped in it on this one As I said the guy was teaching about getting tight groups and consistent trigger pulls. I just thought the comment about not wanting to put five rounds in the same hole in a bad guy was interesting as I had never heard it talked about that one but made a lot of sense. Let's just forget I ever brought it up

The guy knew his stuff and was actually teaching how to shoot tight groups, and did it quite well. I just found his comment interesting that while you want to have that skill, that five shots through the same hole in self-defense situation is sub-optimal. Take it for what it is worth, but don't shoot the messenger

I was just watching a training video that explained you don't want to shoot tight groups. I said to myself what the heck is this guy talking about. Then I listened some more and thought about it and it actually made sense. Sure if you are shooting bull's-eyes or other competitions you want to, but for self defense he explained you don't want to. What you want to do is inflict the maximum damage. It does you little good to place five shots through the same hole in the bad guy. You want to spread those five shots out on center mass to inflict the maximum damage on center mass. Never heard that before, but it makes a lot of sense.

There is an easy solution to the car jack issue. You just equip your car with a secondary remote. Once the car jackers take the car you activate it, which first kills the engine. If you are a liberal you then have it set to lock the doors and activate the alarm. If you are not a liberal it is set to blow up the car and the jackers. Problem solved!

My solution is even more elegant. I drive a Prius. No self respecting car jacker would want to be caught dead in a Prius

No link, it was actually a commentator on believe it or not - FoxNews this morning

I said the EXACT same thing to my wife last night. Something just does not seem right here. I hate malls, but that is one that I go to more than any - and they have lots of cameras in that parking structure. Couple that with they left a living witness. Something just does not smell right. You would think there would be screen captures of the bad guys and their green car on all the media outlets at this point. Why not??????
