Well maybe not that fast, but I have to say hats off to Randolph NJ. One of my references took a week to get my papers back in, yet from the day I applied till I just got the permits was exactly two weeks. SMILE

In theory. But what happens if you get rear ended and the trunk pops open. Or if you get a flat tire and as you are changing it a cop pulls up behind and sees the gun case in the open trunk. Just last night I gave a class and one of the students expressed his frustration in that being in sales he was driving around the area all day but had to drive an hour home to get his gun and then an hour back to the range. In a free state he could have just kept the gun in the car all day. In NJ there is no way you can call doing that a reasonable deviation - not with our left-wing anti government.

Lipstick on a pig is still a pig It looks nice, but I find the Beretta is just too big for average sized hands. I know I cannot get to the mag release without rotating my grip.

I like them on the black one better.

Wow that is one heck of a lot of work, good luck with her.

Spoke with Randy at STI this morning and he told me that I should send the barrel in and they will fix it, hopefully they can turn it around in a day is what he told me. So, it is on it's way to Texas and hopefully I'll be up and running early next week.

Factory new, not any remanufactured.

Just regular factory ammo, no +P or anything like that.

Thanks. I know they will stand behind it. I posted on Enos forum and Dustin at STI said, "We will fix the issue. Sorry for your bad luck". I am just lucky that someone on my squad had a substantially identical (actually exact) gun and was nice enough to let me use it to complete the match. While I appreciate your offer, unfortunately in New Jermany we know such a load is not possible. Well I guess one could do it through a sale with a P2P and then later a sale back with another P2P. Oh well. I am not going to like being without the STI for a while, but I'll live. Guess it will give me more trigger time with my tupperware

This is a 9mm variant of the gun. Not sure about those wheel guns being so great. A woman on my squad had her's totally lock up and you could not even open the cylinder. I think it turned out the firing pin in her's broke. I am guessing this was some sort of metallurgical failure, as two point failures are not exactly common.

I had yet another gun issue at a match today. Was at Easton Fish and Game for a large IDPA match when my STI Trojan decided it just did not want to work anymore after only the third of twelve stages. Fortunately for me another shooter on my squad had the same gun and was nice enough to share his gun with me so I could complete the match. When I opened her up here is what I found

Nothing against the Glock 19, but just keep in mind that police departments and the military purchase guns based more on a matter of price than on quality. If they are more creative they may do it on a combination of price and maintenance costs; but it typically is not based on getting the best quality item.

If you have big hands then the Beretta is made for you! The CZ has a much thinner grip, and you can even put very thin panels on it which makes it great for those of us with average or smaller hands. I suppose you could also put bigger grips on it if you have big hands. What I think makes it a great gun is the internal rail system which is different than most guns and makes the slide operate very smoothly.

I agree the VP9 feels great in your hand, although I have never actually fired one - it is on my list to consider. As for Lousy groups with the CZ, well that could be the specific gun or (no offense) the shooter. Different people and different guns either work well together or do not. I find my CZ's very accurate, only my STI being more accurate.

I don't see this as an issue. This is a special program and with any special program comes restrictions. If the gun store does not like it they should not participate. If the customer does not like it they should not participate.

Wow you need to take a picture of that for me. I don't think I have ever seen more than two of them at any given time.

You might want to check out a CZ-75b versus the Beretta. Unless you have huge hands the Beretta has a huge grip and it makes it hard to reach the mag release without changing your grip. I have both, so this is from first hand experience.

Got my big "gun" out and stalked him for a while, then opened fire in rapid fire mode. Got him! And I have pictures to prove it too!

If you are that paranoid, go to Walmart and buy a pre-paid credit card that has none of your information on it and use that!

CZ's are great guns. I have two CZ75B and love them. I would avoid the Omega trigger, there are better options. Get the regular one and then install a competition hammer and springs, it will give you a better trigger pull than the Omega with more standardized parts. (Yes those are my 2 CZs in the sig line)

Much depends on where you live or travel. Where I am Verizon or some other provider that uses their network is the only real option, assuming you actually want to have a cell signal.

For the same reason you can't carry a gun, it's the law.

Here is today's Hickok45 37 minute video of the G43 in action. Love how he hit the far gong on the first shot with this little gun!

Insulation is most likely solving a symptom not the problem. As others have said fix the dryer vent leak and then the problem may no longer exist.

Yea, definitely swap out the disconnect for a Bushing, I agree Tandemkross is a great place to get customizing parts for the gun. Be careful which one you get, they have several different models and they all look similar but are quite different. Here is mine:
