boo

I don't really have enough experience to know what constitutes "a lot", but my only other point of reference is a 686, and the cylinder of this gun has noticeably more play compared to my. 686 ( which practically doesn't have any) Edit: just googled flame cut. Learn something new every day!

Thanks all for your input. Sorry about the poor lighting, it's an Arminius Titan Tiger in .38 spl. I was just looking for something cheap to burn a permit on and something about this intrigued me.

I recently picked up a cheap revolver from online and I noticed what appears to be some flaking of the metal on the frame near the forcing cone. I didn't pay a whole lot so I wasn't expecting master craftsmanship, but I'm wondering if it makes the gun unsafe.

So do you know anyone that was denied a p2p for a denied CCW application? Do you know even know someone who knows someone that was denied a p2p for a denied CCW application? Albert Almeida doesn't seem to have any problem getting p2ps.

Lol, many of those would probably work, and they're actually not picky. For example, being short on money is an "acceptable" reason. That's why I figure if they'll extend for anything, maybe they'd just as soon do it automatically. I figure it would help keep down the size of his inbox.

I remember reading here about a town that automatically renews permits when they're initially issued. Which is it? To renew permits, my PD requires you to submit a letter to the chief stating the reason for renewal. While I have his attention, I figured I'd suggest that he do the same.

it rhymes with freedom

I'd almost like to say my Ruger LCP. I love the trigger. Just a touch heavier than the DA trigger on my Sig but really smooth. I understand that the trigger is only good on mid 2013 and later production. I say "almost" because I've had the take down pin pop out on me a couple times.

I went with M1 just for the variety. You didn't mention which was cheaper, but an added bonus for the M1 are cheaper magazines. I forget the exact model, but there's a Magnum Research pistol whose mags fit the M1 PPQ (minus the fancy non-stick coating) and are cheaper than OEM mags. I'll admit, when shooting my PPQ or HK at the range, there are frequently times when I'll reach my thumb for the mag release button, but then realize it isn't there. I figure that would be bad in a stress situation. But the way I see it, 1) I figure the odds are low in a defensive gun situation that I'll need a reload. In fact, on a couple times where I felt it necessary arm myself, I'd forget to pick up the reload in the first place, 2) if I do find myself in a situation where the execution of a flawless reload is necessary for survival, I figure my odds aren't all that great in the first place.

I think I'm going as well. In addition to taking up their seats, we can eat all their food, lol.

I noticed Discovery Channel showing infomerical length Henry Rifle ads, but around 3am.

If you want cheap backup glasses, check out zenni.com. They start at around $30, and they don't require an actual prescription as long as you know what you need.

G&S in Paterson claims possession of an assembled AR lower with a collapsible stock is illegal (ignoring the constructive possession issue), and if I had one sent to them, they wouldn't transfer to me without first pinning it. I know of at least a couple other FFLs that wouldn't have this issue, but just wondering if this sentiment is common.

I'm surprised it was the mouse/port that failed before the hard drive (or the floppy disk, whatever the case maybe)

I like to have at least five. Two to keep at home loaded with HD ammo, three to bring to the range (for the gun and dual mag carrier).

It doesn't strike me as being a very practical approach unless you have 20,000 volunteers. Speaking specifically to the Sweeney recall effort, Alex has voter lists in Sweeney's district of those who are 1) registered republican or 2) have voted republican. Instead of having 20 people randomly ringing a single door bell and talking for 15 minutes (assuming they talk to you), those twenty people could have each gathered a signature for a recall petition on their own from people who don't need any convincing in that same 15 minutes. I would have dismissed it as hopeless if it was a matter of hanging out in front of Wawa or Stop & Shop and pestering random passerby for a signature. But with the voter lists, I think it changes everything and allows for an efficient allocation of efforts and makes me think it has a decent shot of being successful. Even if Sweeney doesn't get recalled, I sure the efforts will at a minimum get noticed. Not that politicians will suddenly start backing constitutional carry, but they'll at least think twice before starting 2A attacks.

In the round of meetings last month Alex Roubian made clear that election activism was a huge part of his strategy for NJ2AS, both to put on a recall Sweeney effort and to also target districts where anti-gun politicians won by narrow margins. Not that he expected to turn the entire legislature red, but he wants to gun control to turn into a third rail, and encourage liberal progressive politicians to turn to other causes through which to showboat to their constituents. Of course, this would hinge on volunteers turning out.

Shot my PPQ for the first time in several months yesterday. Consciously maintained a firm grip so no double taps. But it turns out I've developed some (bad?) habits that make the PPQ less of a suitable fit. I mostly shoot with a P229, and I've been taught to "stage" the single action trigger by taking out the slack, confirming aim, and then fully pulling the trigger. But with the really short trigger on the PPQ, my muscle memory of taking up the slack on my P229 is enough to pull the PPQ trigger to break. At the risk of stating the obvious and reiterating a basic rule of gun safety, you really have to be careful about having your finger on the PPQ trigger until you're ready to shoot.

For those that don't reload, I think Speer Lawman is good for recreating the higher pressures of HD ammo at a fraction of the price. Though it isn't going to help to confirm reliable feeding.

Does it need to be NJ compliant by law? As I understand, the transaction must meet NJ procedures, but there isn't any law that an item must comply with NJ restrictions.

Interested. Been meaning to look into this for some time.

Hmmm. Maybe I need to put the optic money to a carbine class instead...

I didn't realize there was so much hate for the Eotech. I mentioned the 512 because when on sale it seems to be at a comparable price to the Aimpoint Pro. I'm currently looking to upgrade from a Vortex Strikefire, and my main complaints are 1) really small viewing area: I don't see an aimpoint solving this, but I see eotech as an improvement. 2) It can be hard for me to find the dot: I figure in a stress situation I might not be able to acquire the dot quickly, but I figure there's no way I'm missing the eotech circle. One of these days I'm going to try and see how they look in person, but I need to save up money in the meanwhile.

If these end up becoming enforced as law, I hope legal challenges are put up by ANJRPC or whomever.

I have both the VP9 and PPQ M1 9mm. I have about 1000 rounds on the VP9, 300 on the PPQ. I prefer the VP9 mainly for ergonomic reasons. I rarely shoot the PPQ these days. VP9 pros - Greater ability to customize grip given the removable side plates. This is important to me because I have absurdly short fingers, but medium palms. This allows me to configure a really short reach to the trigger for my strong hand, but fill out the grip for a more comfortable hold for my support hand. If you have "standard" hands, this might not mean anything to you. - I find the mag release for the VP9 to be more ergonomic and easier to manipulate compared to the PPQ. I use my trigger finger for the VP9, but for the PPQ, I find it requires more effort to activate the lever, and I need to use my middle finger to get more leverage. - Less "flippy" for me compared to the PPQ PPQ - Slightly better trigger. Although my experience is similar to Lunker in that it's almost too good. Really short reset and flippiness has led to unintentional double-taps. Again, this is something that training can address, but why bother when I have a bunch of other guns that I don't need to "train" for. - If carrying is being considered, smaller frame is an advantage to the VP9.
