Do new Sig's only come with one magazine? I would think for the premium price you should hope to get get three mags or at least two and a nice loader.

Mr. Miller just pissed 54 years of family business down the drain. Their Facebook page is on fire.

I love it.

5 minute back round check? Must be nice. Would the gun shop be able to charge a transfer fee in this situation?

I strongly recommend that you call PD about paperwork status after five weeks of waiting to see if all is going well. I called today and found out that everything was approved last month but PD was waiting for to hear back from my employer for employment verification which my job never said they got. Once they get that I was told the detective processing the paperwork hands it to the chief for a signature and I get the call the next day.

I found out today it is a three question questionnaire. Very basic.

That long just to be contacted? That's crazy. Was it a letter or phone call to your references? I thought my town would just call but my references were mailed a small questionnaire about 10 days after I submitted the paperwork.

I called my police department Stafford twp asking about the status of my license and permits. I turned papers in on Jan 31 and it will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I figured I was getting close but I was just checking. To my surprise I was told that everything was approved on Feb 21 and they were just waiting for employment verification from my job which was mailed out Feb 8. She said once they get that the detective will approve the license and permits. It seems that they delay was not my town but my employer. Called employer and they said they did not receive which I believe is not true and I am siding with my PD this time. I asked for the fax number at work to have the pd fax them the verification to speed things up. Looks like another week to wait but should of had this done last month.

I am amazed that he did not shoot his wife. Drinking wine in a home with another man at 10:30 at night. Only pistol whipped her, minor injuries and released from hospital. The two year old could have easily been orphaned that day.

How is the recent handgun inventory there? Is it worth the trip from the shore? From what I hear their prices are very good.

I went to both shops last week and here is my opinion from the trip. Brick Armory and range, Lakewood Very generic looking shop located in an industrial park. About five guys there buying mags to shoot. Decent selection better than L&H but mostly SW M&P's had a couple of Glocks including two brown 22's for $579, Don't know if that is a good price. Also had a few Beretta's and FNH's in stock. Staff a little pushy but attentive. Told them I was waiting for permits to buy and they keep saying you could pay now and we will hold the gun for you. Keep telling me that that will be gone by tomorrow and this one will be gone today if I don't buy now. I told them they weren't the only shop in town so if they are sold I can check elsewhere and he stopped haggling me. Shore Shot, Lakewood also in the industrial park. Worst looking on the outside by far. Looks like the building was coming down and shots were heard from the outside walking in the building. I thought one may come through the wall and hit me. The inside was also generic looking but they had by far the largest selection of handguns and supplies. The place was packed with at 12 people in the store. Some waiting to shoot others to but guns and ammo. Staff was nice but very busy most were working through lunch as we smelled fried chicken waiting to be eaten. Did have time for questions once the other people cleared out. Three people were buying guns and filling out NICS and were told the wait was up to 7-10 days. Customers were visibly upset. Plus here is that they only charge 3 1/2% sales tax on everything so you can save a few bucks with that. As far as pricing goes Shore Shot had a nice selection of handguns there. How is there pricing compared to other shops? I am still searching for the best prices on a handguns in NJ area without having to drive to far since now it is a two trip transaction because of the NICS wait times.

Please explain what is wrong with the trigger. I am new to handguns and would like to know what to look for when I buy a gun. This gun was high on my short list of possible purchases. Is it just the P30 or all H&K handguns.

Does anyone think towns will eventually just give 180 days from the start? Seems like a good compromise since the NICS is getting ridiculous. Has anyone ever heard of someone getting denied the extension? I heard the police chief can say no if he wants.

When you ask for a permit extension for another 90 days, is the extension 90 days from the original expiration date or from the day you ask from the extension? Also can you get an extension on two permits at the same time? I think I will submit for four more permits as soon my two permits come in and I want to know how the process works. Since the NICS is taking so long If you got more than three permits you would have to get an extension on one or more permits or they would expire.

What was the gun you wanted?

I went there today to check the shop out. Lots of nice guns in stock. Both guys there were super friendly and helpful. Only wish they took American Express card which is my private card. Visa is with my wife and she can see purchases which equals angry women after expense gun purchase. Will have to hide some cash from wife to buy from them. lol Also went to Bangers a few miles away. Beautiful shop but ver low supply of handguns. Only one 9mm in stock which was a ruger sr9. No 40's and a couple of 45 sigs for $1000. Asked employee if they had anything coming in and he answered "I don't know, maybe next week" and walked away. Pretty ignorant.

Don't know if you have been there since the storm but LBI will never be the same since Sandy.

We were super lucky. Trees surround our entire property and we had a brand new vinyl fence installed in August. Zero fence damage or fallen trees. Lots of neighbors with trees in front yards fallen over. Lost power for only 25 hours as well.

What did you pay? Did you buy in state?

Good call. I haven't handled a P99 but I will look at one next time I go to the shops. I figured these were just plain service guns.

I was looking a Walther PPQ or PPX for my first handgun. Anyone have any experience with either? I really like the H&K p30 but it seems very similar to the PPQ for about $400 less. Are H&K's that good or just overpriced? Same question goes for Sig's. I also see that the PPQ M2 has a different mag release and from what I understand a new and improved trigger but nobody knows the answer on that one. I can save $50 if I get the older PPQ from the prices I have seen. Are then new changes worth it? Also on my short list is the Beretta Px4 and Springfield XDM. I love Steyr but they are impossible to find. I can't count out various Glock models as well and I am sure I will own a Glock one day but thought I would go against the grain and choose something different first. I think 4" or 4.5" barrel would suffice since the gun will double as a range gun and home defense. I would prefer 9mm but may have to go with 40 since they seem to be more in stock at the current time.

My one year old would find that in 10 minutes. He loves banging on walls. The hollow sound when banging would give it away. Would be awesome if it had a biometric thumbprint to open doors.

I was at Shore Shot in Lakewood today and saw two handgun sales and one shotgun sale. All were told NICS would take 7-10 days. Buyers were pissed.

hello guys, just signed up tonight here from the Jersey Shore Long Beach Island area waiting patiently for my FID and permits to come in. Already 5 weeks hoping any day now for the call. Look forward to some good advice from the NJGF experts.
