I guess a lot depends on what you want them for. I just did a mental inventory and I have .22LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .38 SPL, .357 Mag. I use several different ones for IDPA and USPSA competitions.

I agree that zombies are not the optimal training tool But the they also had IDPA scenarios, and turning targets at various distances and speeds. Not to mention pepper poppers and other steel arrays. Is the real things better - maybe. The thing I was working on was quickly picking up my sights and transitions. So, for what I wanted to work on I found it highly effective. Not mention it came with the instructor, basically at no cost.

Well when I tried it out at the grand opening I called it a video game too. But when you sit down with a qualified instructor who gives you input and corrects what you are doing sub-optimally I would call it much more than a video game. I don't really like video games, but found quite a bit of value from this.

OK I have a question about transport. We all know that to be covered by exemptions in NJ a gun must be in a secured container (which can be a tied shopping bag). Correct me if I am wrong here, but would this be a violation of law if you are headed toward PA. In other words, if your destination is PA does the gun have to be in a LOCKED container versus a secure container? One other question, if you have an out of state permit that is recognized by PA (like Utah) do you have to carry the gun on your person once in the state, or can you leave it in your trunk? What happens if you leave it in your car when you go to say a Walmart, is that allowed in PA?

If RTSP does not have any in stock you can order magazines larger than 15 rounds from many places online and have them shipped directly to RTSP where for not much money they will have them pinned before you take legal possession of them. Not sure why you are having so much trouble. Some mags are very hard to get the last round inserted, but to start having problems when they are only half full seems very odd. Have you tried leavings them loaded for a few days? If not load them up with as many as you can insert and let them sit to compress the spring, then try to insert more.

I'll email you some info later.

Don't know the length but yea it is Hackettstown and is called the Shongum sportsman's association and their web site probably has the details. They have both indoor and outdoor ranges. Uspsa is 1at Saturday or the month there.

Why? My STI is "Trojan" equipped right out of the box

Went back today to put training into practice with my STI Trojan. Went very well, put many bullet holes through bullet holes

Deerslayer - note that the price is much lower than it was at introduction, so it is actually much cheaper without the coupon. Its only $25 for 30 minutes. When you think about what a box of ammo costs you this is actually a very good deal.

Yes it's open to the public as is the range. Not really sure how many as each scenario ranges from a couple if shots to a few dozen. I know I had to stop twice in the hour to refill the butane tank in the magazine.

No hearing protection needed. There is no loud noise. You hear the slide racking and you hear the gas going through some sort of valve but it is not loud

Sorry I don't know that but I do know it costs big bucks. I am sure if you call and ask they would tell you.

They charge $25 for a half hour, which is not bad when you think of what you would spend in ammo for that sort of shooting.

First let me state that I hate video games, so when it was suggested I try the simulator for training I sort of dismissed it. But after having some issues at a recent USPSA match I said why not give it a try. It was a way to very cost effectively fire many rounds with a professional trainer and get some good feedback on what I needed to brush up on. For those not familiar with the simulator it is basically a high definition video projector that fills a huge wall with lots of shooting scenarios. They range from target shooting, to bank heists, traffic stops, and many more. The computer monitors your course of fire from a non-visible laser that is in a real gun. It also monitors what the bad guys shoot at you. The magazine contains compressed gas and cycles the slide as you shoot, simulating recoil to some degree. The gun I used was a real Glock, a 19 I believe. The trainer operates the computer and then plays back how you preformed the scenario and provides critique. I was very impressed and found it to be a very cost effective way to improve your shooting. Feel free to ask questions and I'll try to answer them.

I've had less problems with Freedom than With Remington.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need him, it does no one any good to get on his bad side.

For about the same price you can find real brass cased ammo from Freedom Munitions, and it does not smell like crap.

Thanks, I thought it would be fun to mock the Demotards rather than just write another letter with facts. It was time for a change.

I get sick when I fire that stuff it smells so bad.

While I too am North of 50, I am not sure I buy into that kids don't learn anything today. I think the schools are set up so they can get by without learning, but that does not mean none of them do. Both my kids are out of college now and I saw what they went through in the public schools. Now to be fair, perhaps my town is atypical - I know it is as we do FID and P2P in 20 to 30 days But I think my kids came out of high school knowing as much or more than I did at their age. I know my son was very upset when two of his friends got one more question right on the math SAT's and they both got 800 while he only got 780. My daughter is probably the more typical kid today who cruised through without learning as much and did not do a double major in college like he did. She has an OK job and is semi-liberal while my son is a Republican / Libertarian who works in M&A for one of the Big 4 accounting firms. But back to the schools, I think they really do need to get back to memorization. This common core math is pure BS. They need to learn basic multiplication tables, and learn what a noun and a verb are. They need to be able to make change without hitting the picture of the burger on the "cash register". They need to understand how to balance a check book, and how not to spend more than they make. They also need to go back to teach home economics, wood shop, autoshop, etc... While none of my kids ever saw a trades person come to my house to fix anything (I do it all) each of them would have to hire someone to change a light switch, maybe even change a light bulb I don't get it either. I would not let either one of them drive until I actually made them change a tire and explained what all the crap is under the hood of a car. What scares me the most is that kids today while they are great on computers, for the most part have no clue how they work. Sure they can use word and Excel, but unless they are super techie none of them have any clue about binary or how circuits work or the logic behind them. That is what is really scary. While I am ranting, I am sorry but "Woman's Studies" is NOT a major. Neither is Black History or Gay transgender BS. Parents that let their kids major in this stuff are negligent. Heck once you graduate and have a job and money you should feel free to go learn all that BS if you want, but you need a firm foundation that will serve you in life first. Oh well, time to stop ranting I guess. I'm just happy I won't be here in 100 years to see the mess that is left of what once was a great country. I think the biggest mistake was made when Congress failed in the 70's or 80's to make English the official language.

Barms, you are correct to a point. I was thinking the same thing, that we keep allowing Greenwald to read this crap into the record and never challenge it - shame on us. I think MPC made a great point talking about the 2nd, 3rd,.....10th round and asking why they only care about the 11th child. That shows how stupid this really is.

I think you will find that certain people, like Michael Patrick Carroll, are very passionate about this issue; while others really don't care that much but will vote against it because they know it is wrong. You are not going to get all people to be passionate on all issues. Thus, what we need to do is make sure we let all our representatives know how we feel repeatedly and in mass so that they do the right thing. Obviously if there are certain specific points we want made then we need to get an audience with those that are passionate and try to get them to make those points on the floor for us.

That last sentence says it all - consider it a good day!

Just say NO to A2006 / S993!!! Governor, we need to do something to stop mass killings accomplished by mentally ill individuals who use high capacity weapons. In recent years we have seen several incidents where hundreds have been killing by a single mentally ill individual. Its time you do something to protect the public, it’s for the children you know! In one episode a deranged man yelled "Allahu Akbar" and plunged his high capacity plane into the ocean killing all the passengers. It may very likely turn out to be that one of the cockpit crew did the same thing with the missing Boeing 777. On September 11, 2001 several of these crazies took these high-capacity airplanes and crash them into some of our buildings and they killed thousands. Thus, I urge you once and for all to ban all high capacity airplanes in the State of New Jersey. This would be the only responsible thing to do. We can only trust high capacity airplanes in the hands of military pilots, we have to keep these dangerous mass killing devices out of the hands of private and commercial pilots. We have seen too many of these mass killings and your urgent action is needed to ban all airplanes in the State that can hold more than 10 passengers. I know there may have been previous talk about limiting airplane size to only 15 passengers, but that is an arbitrary number, and countless more children will be saved if you reduce the maximum capacity of airplanes to only ten. Please your urgent action is needed today. We can no longer trust pilots with larger crafts as several have used them to kill large numbers of people. By the way, if you don’t agree with me on this you must be a racist, or a crazy extremist republican. What?, you don’t think this is a good idea? But it is the same idea used by the leftist extremists in the Trenton Statehouse to claim we need to reduce the maximum size of a “magazine-clip” to only 10 bullets. (Please note I think they mean magazine to 10 cartridges). I agree that reducing plane size is stupid, just as stupid as reducing magazine size for guns. You need to be consistent Governor. If you reduce one you must reduce both. But most logical people would agree you should not change the size of either of these items. Thus, I urge you to VETO A2006/S993 if they reach your desk. Thanks, and I hope this brought a smile to your face.
