USG Sues L3 for Fraud over EOTech issues
Does anyone have a clue what an Eotech 511 went for when new? I have one I would like to send in that is dated Feb 2005 but have no idea how much to ask for it.

SCREW THEM. Let them suffer just like all the people they screw with their laws. Carry for all, or none for them!

Tactical Training Center Range Flemington, NJ
Not only that, RTSP just added an additional hour to the weekend members only time. It used to be 8am to 10am but is now 7am to 10am. Always nice to be able to get in before the weekend mass mobs fill a place.

Another pa resident charged with possession.
Well if he really was impaired then I assume he will get off for the gun charges. Didn't one of the Short Hills murder thugs get off on some other gun charge because he was under the influence of drugs and could not be responsible for his actions or other such nonsense.

How long does a seller have to send in the purchase permit copies?
The new permits clearly state five days.

STI Lawman - Anyone have one?
True that! But when you do run dry it is nice to have it lock back, especially since when I slam a mag in the slide always goes forward by itself on mine.

STI Lawman - Anyone have one?
That is really strange. I too have an STI Trojan and have no rust issues and have never had it fail to lock back. What type mags are you using. I do agree that the finish is not the best, but I use it for the same thing as you do and that is not a big issue for me. Super accurate gun, especially with Dawson fiber optic sights on it.

9mm 1911 gun? mag?
I agree with Rich, I had no luck at all with Wilson in my STI Trojan 9mm. I would get misfeeds and other problems. Sent the gun back to STI and they did some work on it but they told me they could not get it to work reliably with Wilson mags and suggested Dawson or Tripp Cobra, which is what I use now and have no issues anymore.

Gun oil substitutes
I have been very happy with Ballistol which both cleans and lubricates. It is what Hickock45 uses and recommends. Here is an Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Ballistol-Non-Aerosol-Friendly-Multi-Purpose-Lubricant/dp/B00ZAPMCHE

Don't know why but for some reason he does not have his name anywhere on the site as far as I recall.

Training for matches in NJ
You are correct the wait list at Shongum is over a year, the good news is that because of that you often see no one there - which means no waits for anything. They don't allow holster drawing in the indoor range but you are free to do that at the outdoor pistol pit. Assuming no one else is using it you can set up multiple USPSA targets and run around shooting your made up stage. I just saw the software below the other day which might be something good to use for dry firing. The first one costs $120 while the second one is free. Don't really know anything about them, but they look like they would be very useful. $120 http://lasrapp.com/ Here are a bunch of videos on the first one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ60kV7CXAxm9ZZARQ-CR5UAkdnpAbYl2 $ Free http://phrack.github.io/ShootOFF/ I would be interested if anyone can provide insight into this type of software.

Some of the ranges such as RTSP and Gun for Hire let you draw from a holster once you have taken their courses. As for shooting multiple targets and shooting on the move well you need to join an outside range for that. Probably the best training is to get yourself a shot timer and do dry fire at home.

Brownells not shipping mags and grip extensions?
Why not try the telephone and have a real conversation with a real person ?

Read this question on a Character reference form
You are over thinking this. If you know and like the person just fill it out so they get their permit. It says to the best of your knowledge or something like that. The reality is this is all very stupid. The person could have a large criminal record and be on constant drugs and you might never know it. This is the job for the police to investigate not for you to know. This is more of the liberal crap to make it harder to get guns. Who that is not a total idiot has a recommendation form sent to someone that is not going to give them a positive review.

i know some of you guys are still on farcebook
That is interesting as I have two profiles and one is a totally made up name and I have never had an issue with it.

Wow, My new PPQ M2 5" 9mm is a tack driver!
I had lots of trouble in my early days with the star. Then I learned three are two ways to shoot it, either track it or trap it. Too many new shooters try to track it which usually spells disaster. You see them moving their gun round and round to follow the plates and keep missing. I have found it better to just trap it. Shoot the plate that is between. 11 and 1 on the clock face and then just keep the gun there and the plates come right to you. I normally knock them all in either five or six shots now by doing that.

The PPQ worked flawlessly at USPSA at Shongum today, and actually scored quite well too Stage 3 was a blast with both a Texas star AND a Polish plate rack!

NYC mayor Big Bird on gun control
Well it looks like Deblasio has stepped in it again. He just made the claim that slashings in NYC are up because the police have been so good at taking guns off the street. http://observer.com/2016/03/bill-de-blasio-says-face-slashing-epidemic-probably-a-result-of-nypd-gun-seizures/ Seems to support our claim that gun control will only make people turn to other weapons, as they have in other countries.

Wow, My new PPQ M2 5" 9mm is a tack driver!
Please send me the exact part number from Dawson. How difficult is this to do? Did you do it yourself and are any special tools needed? The one nice thing with the stock sights is that the rear is adjustable left right with a little screw. Played with that yesterday to move the POI to the right. One thing I notices is the front sight is lower than I am used to. Most of my guns you put the dot on what you want to hit, with this one I have to line up the top of the sight with what I want to hit. No big deal, just have to get used to that otherwise everything is a little high.

Yes, and I'm the only RO on squad 1 so far, come shoot with us.

Wow, My new PPQ M2 5" 9mm is a tack driver!
Thanks. I find the stock sights ok, but if I changed them it would be with Dawson fiber optics. I have Trijicon HD on my G35 and hate them for competition. The front sight is so big that it makes it very hard to know where you are on an 8" plate much further than 12 yards.

Wow, My new PPQ M2 5" 9mm is a tack driver!
Well I have only put two boxes of ammo through it, but so far no issues. I would not expect any as the lever is long and thin. I don't push my thumbs hard into the gun, so I have never had that as an issue on any gun.
