Apex spring kit
Griz, I have the standard boot grips that came with it. Feel comfortable enough, but I did add a strip of talon grip material along the backstrap. I also cross my support thumb under where the hammer would be, over my strong hand .

Apex spring kit
Thanks for the quick replies guys. Screwball, the kit still includes the extended pin. I took the sideplate off when I got it. Griz, I'm with you on it being an SD gun, I've never gone past 10 yds. max, but it's not uncomfortable to shootas long as I keep a good grip on it, just think it'd be better if a few lbs. lighter. Diamond817, glad you haven't had any issues with the install but would like to hear the rest of the story. Thanks again guys

Blink camera sale
Sniper22, Thanks for the info, would want at least 8 channels so I could bring some cameras inside too. The multiple views at once is a nice option I hadn't considered. I don't have a huge house or property, and have a few locations that would make set up easier.

Magazine Ban Upheld
Sniper22, I would like to think we're pretty much on the same page. What I meant was our primary means of communicating with our government is our vote. Our vote is how we 'speak', unfortunately here in NJ we are grossly outnumbered by the masses that have a different viewpoint, hence why we have the government we do. JohnnyB, I sure do hope the SCOTUS makes some landmark decisions in our favor, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Apex spring kit
Good evening, I have a S&W 642, and am aware of the reasons for a DOA pull of 12+ lbs. I am looking at lightening it some by installing the Apex spring kit. I have read the reviews and watched the videos but am curious to know if anyone here has done this, and what your thoughts are. Thanks

Magazine Ban Upheld
Has nothing to do with anybody bending over, but everything to do with being a realist that comes with age and experience, as someone remarked in the mag ban thread in reference to S446. Apparently the masses have spoken or we wouldn't be where we are now, but that shouldn't keep the rest of us from supporting our constitutional rights.

Blink camera sale
Sniper22, I've been looking at indoor/outdoor camera systems and would prefer hard-wired. Got any suggestions for any that are a few hundred or so? I'm not an electrician, but have spent some time fishing wire/cable in walls and ceilings.

Magazine Ban Upheld
Guys and gals, we live in NJ, Murphy and his crew will not be denied. I picked up some magblocks for the CZ75, the only 14 rounders I own. Matter of fact, my first handgun purchase just over five years ago was my 96A1 in 10 rounds because my gut feeling was we were going to end up where we are now. Does anyone truly believe judges are impartial (except maybe Chief Justice Roberts)?

Porkroll vs spam
Fried spam with Gulden's sicy mustard on an egg bagel is exceptional, but a double Case's porkroll with egg and cheese on an Italian hard roll is Heavenly! And do you people scrape off the gelatin on the ends of the spam, or fry it with the end slices?

Vicious Circle
You're right Maks, a beautiful story indeed. Brought tears to my eyes, but for all the wrong reasons since I wish it was me and the 625. Couldn't have happened to a better guy though.

Big Thanks to Pizza Bob
Might as well keep the love fest going. I've had several opportunities to chat with Bob, and have enjoyed every minute. Approaching old codger status myself, don't think I'd call him grandpa though.

Drinking
Rob, I know you're a 629 guy because I missed the one of the few you had that you posted for sale awhile ago when you were moving. I think it sold in less than 2 hrs. after you posted. A shame, because I actually had a few p2ps to burn.

Drinking
Man, wish I could bid on 4 at a time. I'm more like 1 every 1 1/2 yr. guy. Not too gun savvy, so had to look up the P7M8. I mself am undecided between a 629, Redhawk (don't tell Bob), or a CZ97. May your accepted bids be low, and your glass be full.

Drinking
Drinking and bidding on GB may be hazardous to your health....not to mention finances,, what did you bid on ?

Magazine Ban Upheld
Wait, first we have to bend over, and now we have to do oral? As far as the 9th's decision is concerned, remember Murphy said NJ would out California California. The magblocks I ordered are coming tomorrow, but being optimistic, I ordered some new springs too in case I can reconvert the conversion.

It's not just a guy with the hat, that's the chairman of the board. Nice tool box too.

Murphy proposed new gun laws after Pittsburgh
For sure Maks, someone like targetsportsusa or sgammo could eventually just say the heck with it, screw NJ. Ironically, my wife and I were just looking at condos for sale in a southern free state.
-
Murphy proposed new gun laws after Pittsburgh
Some out of state suppliers are now requiring a copy of fid cards from NJ residents, but most likely as a CYA for them.

Murphy proposed new gun laws after Pittsburgh
As I understand it, this has nothing to do with out of state ammo sales.

Dicks Sporting Goods in the news again
I used to pick up 9mm from Dick's when it was on sale. Haven't set foot inside since the CEO went off the rails. Feel bad for the employees, but could care less if Dick's went belly up. Too bad, because the younger guy at my local store was ok.

New Guy Monmouth County
First, welcome to the forum. Second, Peel's right about our resident Pizza Bob being a fount of knowledge, and lastly, Peel's wrong about Taylor ham, as evidenced by High Exposure's photographic evidence to the contrary.

Jeff Van Drew's 2A beliefs
That's an interesting idea, government would cease to exist as we know it. And they would have to hire a lot more corrections officers too

Moved back to Monmouth County
I have been going to GSSC since it opened. Not sure about prices for firearms, but great range and easy to deal with.

THIRD CIRCUIT DENIES INJUNCTION IN MAG BAN CASE 2 DAYS AFTER PAPERS SUBMITTED
Whilst? I'm impressed Zeke. I have to admit, I picked up a few 10 rounders for my CZ Compact to take to the range, but for the life of me I can't seem to locate the 14 rounders I had.
