Hare Trigger

I think it would be like shooting a bear out of season, you would have to show the bite marks to prove your life was in danger.

I have both, the .44 will give you a sore palm, you will be able to shoot the .357 a lot longer. The last time I checked .44mag was going for about $40 for JSP and .44sp for $30 for lead, .357mag for $30 and .38sp for $20 per 50 rounds. Costs aside, they both kill bugs dead! Personally I love my .44 but I don't practice enough with it, the .357 on the other hand offers less punishment and is more affordable to shoot regularly.

You are allowed to defend yourself with equal or lesser force. You cannot bring a gun to a knife fight!

I don't see any problem! The one with the most toys in the end wins!!!

I have about 52 rigs, fresh, salt and fly.

I have to agree with most of the info here. Mono for fresh, especially on spinning reels. When spooling the reel, don't have it done by the sport shop, spool it yourself! Place the spool on the floor, in most cases label side up, thread it through the guides and tie it to the spool, take a damp cloth and grab the line in one hand and reel the line in with a little tension on the line. This should put enough tension on the line as to not cause loops or twists and also clean any powder that is on the line. Store your rod & reel in a cool dark location when not in use and you should be able to get a few years out of your line. When using spinners, always use a swivel to keep the line twists to a minimum (ball bearing swivels work best), When you catch a fish that pulls drag be careful not to reel against the drag, this will also prevent line twists. For saltwater, especially for fluke, braid is the best. More sensitive and firmer hook sets. Good knots are a must, braid is slicker and knots slip easily! The uni knot works well, you should add a length of fluorocarbon or mono leader to the end of your braid, this makes knot tying to your rig much easier and adds a little shock absorber when setting the hook. Best of luck!

I save all my brass and now have a couple hundred .270s to reload. Now I have to wait until powder, primers and bullets are available! I, like Jack O'conner, believe that the .270 is one of the finest hunting cartridges ever made!

I have been there on Saturday morns, you will need 100+rounds per, I would call and reserve a golf cart if you don't want to walk. Check out they're website. You will have a blast!!! http://www.lvsclays.com

I do I do! I own three of them, but for the purposes of a defensive cartridge the .308 and .30-06, ammo can be more readily available and purchased in bulk. (as in surplus)

Pizza Bob, How about the Savage .250-3000?

I'm pretty sure the only way you can carry is if the company proves it is necessary for you to carry while you are working, as in a security guard can carry if the company deems it necessary for your job, and then you would have to be certified for your CCL. It would have to be a job requirement. But don't quote me!

I'm not an expert, but It looks like that's a Colt, and it looks like it's a standard Colt cut. In most cases if a 1911 is made for target sights there is a flat spot cut on the rear of the slide so the sights can sit lower on the slide and near flush to the back of the slide. This is what makes me think that they are aftermarket sights. If you plan to add night sights the front is the main sight to have as a night sight but most people change both front and rear. If you are planning to change the rear anyway you might as well make them a set. One thing to realize is that night sights only last about 10 or so years before they dim out, so make sure they have a white dot surrounding them so they can still be used once they expire. Check out this Kimber Gold Match II for a picture of the target sights. http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911/gold-match-ii/stainless-gold-match-ii

I believe the place below is the guy that Jim Flynn recommends for gunsmithing. Carell's .45 Shop (610) 588-0199 1115 Sunset Dr, Bangor, PA 18013 That is a target sight. is that stock to the pistol? I don't think I ever saw a 1911 with a target sight that wasn't cut out in the rear to allow it to sit lower on the slide. I know the guy Jim Flynn recommends is in Bangor ,Pa, but I'm not positive this is the guy. I put his number somewhere but can't remember where! Out of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!!!

Welcome! First, good luck with the permit wait, from what I've read here there seems to be a longer wait when dealing directly through the NJSP than with local PD. In my experience, gun dealers and gun shops are willing to hold a firearm with a deposit. They understand that the wait time in NJ is an affair and most want the return business. I have had a pistol on layaway for the last two months and luckily will be starting the NICS process with it next week. Since you mention Mercer county, you might want to check into Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters, they will hold a firearm with a deposit. You should mention your location in your profile to make it easier for members to suggest shops and FFL dealers in your area. Good luck with you purchase and permit wait time!

Lou's in Raritan is a good place, the price you see isn't exactly the price you pay, it is usually a little less. You should shop around and then check with Jim Flynns Truck Repair on RT 31 in Glen Gardner. He is a FFL and his prices are pretty good. He does not carry alot but he will order anything you want. You will need to know the model # if you want something special. You need to know what you want and then check what price he can get it for. Good Luck!

That is a sweet looking pistol, as are all of Kimbers! I own a Gold match II and it is a gem to shoot, very nice trigger and is more accurate than me! If you can find one! When I ordered mine, (before the SHTF), I waited a little over 5 months. I ordered it right after I applied for my permits and got it 2 weeks before the permits expired.

If your guns are in a cabinet, I would at the very least get a golden rod (dehumidifying rod) and install it in your cabinet and keep your guns well lubricated, including the inside if the barrels. A dehumidifier in the basement wouldn't hurt either. When I first bought my house I stored my guns in the basement, I didn't look at them for a few months. Two of my shotguns started rusting pretty badly. One was ruined (which recently was turned in at a gun buy back for $100) and the other needed to be refinished. It would be better to have the humidity level around 35%. Cigars like 70%, guns don't!

Congrats on the Savage! You might want to try a few different brands and weights of ammo. Every rifle has it's own personality when it comes to ammo. Shoot 3 to 5 shot groups with each to see which gives you the best groups. Remember to shoot off of a rest and sand bag it. First you need to see what the gun will do and then you have to see what you can do with the gun.

Bucks county would be great, it would only take a half hour to get there instead of one and a half!

I was surprised they didn't build closer to Easton with a larger population right across the river in NJ!

I'm not a Glock guy, I do own an XD compact 45, but there are couple of pros for Glock; mags are readily available and not that expensive, and there are loads of spare and replacement parts for Glocks. That being said I like the grip angle of the XD better, and I found it very accurate. I also own a SIG PRO 2022 which is a little cheaper than both of them and extremely accurate and it comes with night sights. Best of luck with your decision.

Apparently mine was made in 78. Thanks!

How did you find out what year it was made?

Welcome, I have to agree. I got to shoot there for the first time last week. The only thing that is missing is a range to shoot clays.

I'm pretty sure the 6mm has the flattest with the 270 not far behind in the cartridge size we're discussing. there are a lot of flat shooting cartridges, 243, 25-06, 6.5x55, 7mm-08, 308, 270, 30-06, & 7mm Mag just to name a few. The 308 is a flat shooting cartridge, and there are people who know how to make the hit targets at 1000m+. But just an example; a 308 with a 200yd zero will drop approx 9'' at 300yds and a 270 with a 200yd zero will drop only approx 6", both with a 150gr bullet. The 30-06 is only a little better than the 308. If you are really interested in this stuff you can find it in the gun digest.
