Nice! That's an M1 in 9mm with 4" in barrel. Good price.

It was booger but it wasn't metal... Is that a win?

Ok guys thanks a million for the advice I figured it out. I had used a thin flexible fridge magnet as my idiot card to push the pin out of the way of the release when I was reassembling. A little piece of it broke off as i was pushing the release into the side of the slide and got into the barrel so it was blocking the Bullert from going the last few millimeters forward and sitting flush. Stupid me but all better! Love this gun so far but zero rounds throught it

My buddy happened opon it in meltzers in Garfield. He knew I'd been hunting for one so he called me and I bought it over the phone sight un seen

Here is a current auction on gun broker on a .40 cal PPQ M2. It's got over 3 days left, the current bid is $409 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=332561158#PIC

It came with ample factory lube on the barel and slide and inside of frame rails etc. i have not wiped that off yet or applies any new lube.

I bought a PPQ M2 in .40 cal last week from gun broker for $720 and am having it shipped to E.B. Sportsman. I know i paid about 100 dollars more than i could have if i was patient, but... i'm not patient. I called about 5 stores in N.J. asking if they had any in stock, and they all basically said they were impossible to get. So based on that along with only having 60 more days to use a permit i jumped on the chance to get it. I also just bought Viridian X5L light and green laser combo for it. Also for what it's worth while i was researching this gun, i discovered that alot of people who own the PPQ M1 love the trigger guard paddle clip release. They can't understand why the M2 dropped the feature in favor of a push button. So this may have been a walther move to cater to the American market by removing that style of release.

Yeah, it all happened very quickly as i was so excited to get my hands on it. But if i remember right before i took it apart everything worked correctly with rounds clambering properly and me being able to then lock the hammer safety. After dissembling and re assembling a few times the slide wouldn't come all the way forward when i round was in it.

I just got a brand new 1911, it's a springfield range officer. Picked it up last night after a nice 8 week wait, YAY for NJ! I'm have a problem with it and i'm hoping someone can help me. When i brought it home I think it was in perfect working order, i could rack the slide, chamber rounds etc etc. I took it apart and put it back together a few times to start to get comfortable with the gun. Now the slide won't come fully forward if a round is chambered. If I put a magazine in and rack the slide the bullet goes into the barrel all but about the last few millimeters and the slide won't come fully forward the entire way, it's stuck back a few mm, enough to prevent the hammer lock from sliding up. If i take the round out everything is fine and the slide goes all the way forward. If i take out the mag and lock the slide open and place a round the barrel. and then release the slide forward i have the same problem the slide just won't come entirely forward and stays back a few mm. Again, eject the round and everything is fine the barrel then comes all the forward and the safety will flip up. I've now taken it apart and put it back together several more times trying to figure out the issue but am having no luck. I only have one box of round and they are federal gold medal match .45 auto, so i'm not sure if it's the ammo but i doubt it. Any ideas before i take it to a store and they laugh at me?

I've fired the .45 cal one, i think it was called the 459 ts. It was fun to shoot, nothing special about it though, not sure i see a real need for this in my collection.

I've been at Ft. Dix and heard the announcer say something to the effect of: Please only take photos of your own party and do not take photos or videos of anyone else without their permission. So Ft. Dix must allow pictures and videos.

I've bitched about this in multiple threads already, so i'm sorry for doing it again, but its just intolerable what is going here. I decided i wanted a 1911 in January. I immediatly purchased the gun and filed for my permit. I then waited 7 weeks for the permit to come, and have now been waiting an additional week for the NICS to come back. So two entire months and I still don't have the pistol i paid for... how is acceptable?

I heard from my buddy in bloomfield who also applied in nov (maybe this is you rocky!) that the state police lost the mental health records for just essex county in a flood.

3 to 5 days is common the past few months in NJ. I just got my permit Tuesday after a 7 week wait for that and went to the store and they submitted the check and now i am waiting. I expect friday, saturday, or monday it will come back and i can finally have the gun i paid for 7 weeks ago?!?!?

Why do most people posting pictures of their guns put an object like a pen, or a shot gun shell through the trigger guard? Is it to demonstrate it couldn't have been fired at the time? Struck me as weird but so many people do it, i'm curious as to why. Second question, i wanted to post pictures of my AR and my 1911 etc in the sections for showing those kinda of guns, but i am limited to only 500K in total upload size which got filled up by two photo attachments. How do i get more space, by joining and paying?

I wanted an aimpoint micro for my S&W 500, in one of my incredibly rare moves i cheaped out and bought a bushnell red dot from walmart for $100. After the first outing with it, it came lose and the glass somehow cracked on the front lens. It had never been hit with anything or dropped or put down funny, it's just not that high quality enough to with stand the recoil. I really wish i had bought an aimpoint.

Since you list Shore Shot as you home range, I would suggest calling them and asking them if they do it or if not if they can recommend someone.

I'm not an "expert" but i'll offer my opinion and experience. To answer your simple question i would always opt for more magnifation, so i'd go with a 1-6, but i think you might be happier with a 3-10x or even 4-12x. For my AR-15 i have a regular hunting scope and i love it. I am not under the illusion that i am going to be raiding any buildings or marching into battle for close quarters combat, or even that i would take out my AR-15 to protect my home. I feel i have the very realistic expectation that it for fun recreational shooting at the range, and usally at 100 to 200 yards. So i bought what i felt was the most reasonably balanced scope between quality and price for target purpose, and i have a Leupold "rifleman" 4-12x by 40mm. I have so much fun with that thing at the range i can't imagine going back to iron sights or no magnifcation.

Ok, i pulled the trigger too... I just bought one on gun broker about an hour ago. I got the .40 cal 4 inch. Should arrive at the FFL i chose in a week or so.

Ohh... did you get the 4 or 5 inch barrel, and did you care? I want the 5 inch for accuracy, but i think the 4 inch looks better.

I have been really considering this gun in .40 cal. It's still my current front runner, but i have at least 30 days still to descide before i can use the second of my two permits.

Got them today so all is well in my world again... took 7 weeks.

I messed that up, meant model 638, because 640 is also .357

Model 640?

Appriciate that feedback, hadn't herd anything negative yet so i'm glad to
