Sorry posted wrong section.

Question - if my local PD is ignoring (no return calls, detective in charge is always "away") my calls to apply for a handgun permit (already have an FID card), what are my options? I recall seeing I could apply straight to the State Police. Is that a waste of my time? Has writing to the mayor ever worked for people?

Thanks for this solid info!

Awesome. Thank you all, love this site.

How tough is it to get .40 ammo right now? Also, is it a huge price difference from 9mm?

The respones have been amazing. I will look into all of these. I really like the M&P 9 but not counting out anything else.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not sure at this point, I wanted to watch matches in both and learn more before I committed to one or the other. Maybe even try both.

Thanks sir!

Looking to purchase my first handfun, and something that may be usible for competition purposes in the future. Price range is ~400-600. I really like the 1911s, but I know those can be pricey. Hence, I am being realistic and looking for a good alternative (new or used) in the 400-600 range. For example, I've shot the Sig SP2022 and loved it. Finally, I know you get what you pay for, but at the moment, would like to stay in the 400-600 range. Will definitely pay the premium for a different gun in the future. Thanks in advance.

@Slugdog, thanks!

How appropriate is it to ask for layaway (i.e. until a permit is approved)?

@iCarry - Thanks!

Sorry for the noob question, but how can I find out wich stores are vendors on here?

Thanks, Kirk for the advice. Right now, the auto safety doesn't bother me too much. I am currently focused on fixing/confirming the intertia problem. However, your project will definitely be one i keep in mind for the future. I shoot at Pine Belt most Wed/Friday nights (Shamong, NJ, near Medford). Come on down if you're ever in the area!

Thanks, Robert James for the recc and offer. I went to HS / my parents are in that area. I may not be able to make the 14th but I will check out Clinton sometime.

Thank you for this education and I will try the test. I'm glad I joined this community, every bit of information means I will slowly no longer be a O/U noob.

Thanks for this reccomendation. I will keep it in mind. The CZs look mad nice!

You are awesome. Thanks! Since you're obviously very knowledgeable (and I appreciate it), any second O/U suggestions?

OGfarmer thanks! I'm going to try an extra thorough cleaning after removing stock. Happens with live ammo at times.

I envy you but love the gun, as I'm sure you do too. Regardless, still looking for 2nd O/U

Apparently its part of the model`s features.http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php/20085-stoeger-stf-3000 I knew this before buying (ie the price was right), so I'm not complaining. Just looking for second O/U

I bought a Stoegger STF 3000 (used) a few weeks ago to get me started with skeet and trap. I love it, except for its auto safety feature because it keeps me from shooting doubles. I am looking to upgrade to a "B" O/U and wanted to see what suggestions everyone has. Also, is it possible to have a O/U that is appropriate for both skeet and trap? Based on some past posts it appears it is possible to get a good one for ~$500-800. Do you all agree? Thanks in advance!

Are Telco and Delran the closest outdoor ranges to Cherry Hill? Recently bought a .22LR and looking for a good outdoor range. I really liked the range at Jackson and Salem but they're so far. I do most of my shooting at Pine Belt but they only have Skeet and Trap. Thanks in advance for info!

Great information on this topic. I recently got I to Trap and Skeet and bought a Stoegger 3000 used and love it. I get what Lunker is saying re paying for quality. But IMO if you want to see if you like using a O/U getting a Stoegger for ~$300 is a great way to start and if you fall in love ...go for a "B" shotgun. That's my plan right now and I wouldn't change a thing. Finally, I've never had any of the old "Gs" at the range criticize or question my gun. I think people understand the thought process that you don't want t to have an expensive gun when you're new.
