I recieved a call from Van Drew in reply to my call about the Albano fiasco on the DL stuff. After he cleared up the Albano "mistake" Van Drew told me on the phone that he is against ANY and ALL of the bills being introduced and will fight for our 2nd rights till the end. He also added that Albano and the "new" guy (sorry forget his name at the moment) that took Milan's place are also against them all. I told him that I normally vote republican......and that is how I previously voted, but if THEY vote this way on these issues, they will have my support next time around..........he chuckled and said thank you........

Same for me, I go through State Police and other folks I know going local PD have been getting them consistantly faster.....what to do? nothing I suppose.

When it comes in, my local Dick's Sporting Goods has the 22lr remmington buckets of 1400 rounds for $64.99 Been lucky a couple times. I also picked up 9mm for $30.00 a hundred and a bulk 650 round of 40cal for $250.00 I feel, given what's going on with ammo, this is pretty good.....they don't seem to be "raping" their customers.... BTW those same buckets were at the Harrisburg gun show with a price of $200.00 OBO........

Applied 2nd week of Jan just for pistol permits, already had FID. No permits yet but I have paid in full for 3 guns at 2 different LGS at "their" request. They told me, "if this is the gun you want we highly suggest you at least put a deposit on it or it will be gone". I asked, what if for some dumb reason I don't get the permits (which is very unlikely) both of them responded, "don't worry, I'll give you your money back because selling the gun later will be no problem". Paying in full was my idea. I can't imagine I hit the only 2 LGS's that work this way. In fact, I work with someone that has the "exact" same handgun on order as I have from the same LGS, that I have sitting in their safe. He has been waiting 2 weeks now and it's not in........I was told "the gun is mine until I tell them otherwise"

I paid $579 for the 22 sig and $326 for the 40 cal x-change kit at my LGS. I got lucky, I had decided on one and went to my LGS to "talk" to them about it and get their opinion on the gun.....they had it in stock and told me if I really wanted it I better put a deposit on it. They had nothing but great things to say about it. They also had about 3 or 4 sig 226 in 9mm and all were $1,100+ (BUT, there are many different combinations on sig 226's) so going this route for me was cheaper. Sadly, I'm still waiting for my permits since 2nd week of Jan so I can't tell you how it shoots.....yet.

Well yes and no, 40 to 9 is no issue but you "can" go from 9 to 40 with a little "machine" work on the 40 barrel to fit the 9 slide. Supposedly, there is only a few thousandths of material that needs to be taken off to fit.....although some folks have done that conversion (9 to 40) ...I would not.

Do you want to stay with dedicated 22 or are you open for options? If you get a Sig p226 classic 22lr, at a later date you can purchase the X-Change kit in 9mm, 357sig, or 40 cal. Best part is no permit required to get the kits....just a thought.

After some very extensive searching I have found that if you purchase the shield in 40 all you need to do is purchase a 9mm barrel from S&W with 9mm magazines and you have 2 calibers that shoot perfectly. I have a 9mm on lay away till my permits get here and may see if I can change it for a 40 cal.........if they have one.

That's what I told my LGS. They said that it wasn't a mistake, the excuse is BS....my reply was "maybe all the complaining changed his mind" However it happened it happened....my thanks go out to all who responded and probably "changed his mind" for him!

Just recieved a response to my "not so happy" e-mail I sent to all 3 of my legislators in south jersey about the DL bill I just wanted to let you know that this was a staff error and that the Assemblyman did not intend to be a co-sponsor of the legislation, and does not support the legislation. We have submmited the paperwork to remove the Assemblyman from the bill. Thank you for your understanding. --- Jonathan S. Atwood Legislative Director Senator Jeff Van Drew Assemblyman Nelson T.

Took my wife, daughter and daughter's fiance out to shoot some clays last weekend. It was the first time for them shooting moving targets and the first time my daughter (21) shot any shot gun. I had my 12ga remmington 1100 magnum with low brass #71/2 (I know, doesn't eject most of the time but one shots are fine), 20ga remmington 1100 shooting high brass #6 (all I had) and a mossberg (forget the model) 410 pump 3" #6. They shot all 3 guns and all 3 absolutely "loved" shooting the 20ga. All three stated comfort, weight, length, ease of shouldering to be awesome. None said anything about recoil........accept the fiance when I gave him a couple 3" 12ga magnum buck shot to try..... I love my 20ga for bird/rabbit hunting and I have a hastings slug barrel and bushnell 3x9 scope for deer. I can carry it all day with ease and it is plenty powerfull enough to "take down" anything I need it to......

That's what I have been told and read several times. I was just wondering about the bad reviews and problems folks were having.......that "my" searches couldn't find.

You LOL but have nothing to back up your........ "opinion"... Good luck to you also.

Well, I'll take my chances. Thanks for the responses. http://shop.sigsauer...onversion-Kits/ Easily change the caliber of your Sig Sauer P226 pistol with a conversion or caliber x-change kit! Sig's P226 series pistols all use the same spec frame making converting the pistol as easy as field stripping the slide from the frame and installing the conversion slide. http://www.gunsameri...lassic-22LR.htm The SIG SAUER® Classic .22’s are built on the same frame as their centerfire counterparts. . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sig_226 P226/P229 Classic 22 This .22LR models primary purpose is as practice or range pistols. The Classic 22 has an aluminum slide with a nitron finish (instead of the centerfire stainless steel slide) and a barrel chambered in .22LR. The Classic 22 slide assembly is complete with a lighter recoil spring and plastic guide rod. It also incorporates the same frame and operation as center fire P226 models. http://www.hyattguns...tail-frame.html Introducing the new SIG SAUER Classic centerfire pistols in .22LR Rimfire models. The same Classic pistols that have been used by civilian, law enforcement, and military personnel the world over, can now have these same models factory built in .22LR. The SIG SAUER_ Classic .22's are built on the same frame as their centerfire counterparts.

Well, no, it doesn't explain it. Where did you hear "not" to buy the 22lr and X-Change kits? I'm not trying to bust balls but I have one on lay-away and would like to know "if" there is a problem with the p226 in 22lr. I don't want to end up with gun that "doesn't work" for what it was designed for.

Can you elaborate on this? Where did you hear and why. Did you have one. I find it hard to believe that Sig actually makes a gun in a caliber that "won't perform well or at all" I have done tons of searching and your's is only the second negative post about the 22lr I have read. Any other info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just called all out. I'm in the market for 2 if the wife likes it. I'm getting one for sure......somewhere. Going to Harrisburg next weekend maybe I'll get lucky....

It's less money to buy the p226 classic 22lr AND the x-change kit in 9mm......or 40 or 357.....than to get it in just 9mm. From everything I have read and studied including sig's site, the 22 classic is the "same" exact frame as the other calibers and have found very few bad reports on going that route.I will find out as soon as my permits arrive.....I have one waiting for me at the gun shop.

OK then, another question. I bought a stripped lower for my AR from a ffl in NJ. Was told that it was just like a long gun purchase and had to do it that way because of serial number on lower. So, NJ doesn't know I own a AR lower? Went through nics and all. So, if they ban them they don't know I have it??? I kinda think they DO know and if they passed a ban I would get notice to turn it in.......if I still had it.

I thought this thread was going to be about beer.......

Nice, I'm going nuts waiting for these permits...applied first week of Jan.......previously, I don't think I even waited 30 days for permits....just sux right now to be a "jerseyan".... I have my sights on a Smith and Wesson Sheild in 9mm for my other permit.........

This is EXACTLY what I'm doing. Have it payed for just waiting on %*#ing permits! (since beginning of Jan) I asked the dealer why getting the 22lr and then the X-Change kit was cheaper than getting just the 9mm? His response was "I have no clue"? I asked him why doesn't everyone go this route? He said "most folks don't know about it" I did lots of research and have found nothing to state that the frame of the 22lr classic is NOT the same as the 9mm, 40, and 357 4 guns for 1 permit......can't loose

I read this as...limiting guns and accessories IS on the table already for him and just wants there to be ADDITIONAL debates on the table like mental health and such.

Thanks so far, that's what I've been finding......if I find something different I'll post up
