Ammo is too expensive to keep 15 round mags full for range shooting. I would rather have three 10 rounders than two 15 rounders and take my time and enjoy shooting. But that is just my preference and I believe I am seriously outnumbered in this conversation.

LOL.... you have an entire gun shop to store your guns. When the zombies come I'll be banging on your door for protection.

Was it the compact Storm? If not then definitely the ammo you used. The Storm is very light on recoil, maybe the lightest 9mm I have ever shot but I used the full size 9mm.

Ok say you take possession of your gun. A week or two later you see another gun you want. Are you allowed to purchase or put a deposit on that gun in between the 30 day waiting period? Then start the NICS check once the 30 days have elapsed.

So the 8th to make another purchase. So it is no longer a 30 day wait. More like 37 days or more between purchases. :wild:

I was wondering about the 1 gun purchase per 30 day period law. Lets say you buy a gun on the first of the month. You get the NICS cleared 7 days later and pick up on the 8th. From what I was told that the 30 days starts from the day you take the gun home. Correct? Now my question is, Is the law 30 days from gun possession date to the next NICS cleared date which would be the second gun being taken home or from possession date of the first gun to actual purchase on the second gun? I would hope the 30 days would start from when you buy the gun but I am sure this is a dream not allowed in NJ.

Awesome thanks. Any brand names come to mind?

At this point I would be happy to wait for NICS. Still waiting for permits week 7.

Since I can't get any guns until my permits come in I figured I could at least shop for some accessories needed for range trips. What are some good quality eyewear and hearing protection for indoor range shooting? While were at it, are there any gun specific carry all bags I should look for as well? Not sure if it makes a difference but I plan on doing mostly handgun and probably 22 long gun shooting.

I know they do have M&P's for rental there. Not sure what caliber. Is their much of a difference in shooting the M&P compared to the pro model? I know the sights are different but they trigger is supposed to be better on the pro. Thanks for the SKU number it could come in handy if I buy out of state. Is there a M&P pro that comes with 15 rounds for NJ compliancy? I would hate to have to pay $700 for a gun and then buy 15 round mags afterwards.

$15 for a 15 second fax adds up to a of of cash for politicians slush funds. I believe PK90 said the state got over 2 million last year from these checks.

Why don't they remove the "I" in NICS? Seems like an insult to the word INSTANT waiting up to two weeks.

I was in the area area yesterday so I stopped at Shore Shot and see the inventory. They had no Pro series M&P's in stock and no Glock 34 or 35 for sale. They did have a M&P 40 in stock. I also stopped at Brick Armory and they had about 10 guns on the shelf but nothing that interested me. Place was empty and the range had only one shooter.

It seems that you can't go wrong with either the M&P or the Glock of the guns mentioned. If I see a reasonably priced 40 or 9mm in store then I will put some cash down on it. Now on that note I have been pricing the Glocks since they're a little bit easier to come by. What is a fair price for the M&P 9mm and 40 pro? I have yet to see one in store.

How is the security there? Anyone for a road trip?

How much are the 40 and 9mm M&P Pro's going for these days? Just in case I see one in a shop and decide to put a deposit on one. I don't want to get raped. I may just get a Glock 34/35 instead since they are a little easier to come by and the price markups don't seem to be that bad.

That's what I meant about being legal. I was interested in an xdm 9mm but was told that they could not be sold because of the mags.

I just saw Hickok 45's clip of the M&P pro series 9 mm and he gave it a very favorable review. Is this gun NJ legal? I was set on getting a Glock 34 until I saw this review and I am wondering which is better. I will be using for strictly range shooting and double as home defense as well. If I got the the M&P it would be the 5" barrel. Also how about the M&P in general. Is it a good firearm? I have heard that these guns are hard to come by as of late.

Are Spartans well made? I saw a break down on YouTube and it looked cheaply made.

I would imagine the recoil on a 9mm 1911 model gun would be almost nonexistent due to the size of the barrel and weight of the gun.

Slug and target load.

Slightly off topic question. How much are shotgun shells going for these days? Is there a shortage on that ammo as well?

I plan to take the wife shooting soon. She has never fired or held a gun, real or toy. My question is how do you determine which hand she should shoot with? Does it matter what hand you throw or write with? Myself for example being a very new shooter, only about 600 rounds lifetime, I throw left-handed and write right-handed. I feel like I have better feel and aim holding left-handed but my right hand is not that far off. Should I use this to my advantage and practice with both early on or stick to one hand only and perfect that hand? My goals for shooting are strictly recreational once or twice a week and hopefully never needed home defense. Also does the same go for long guns?

If you are going to Brick Amory bring a friend. You can't shoot alone unless you are a member. I was there and the place was empty and they still said I could not shoot.

I wonder if their inventory is piling up after this.
