Far as I know he is going to show up on his own. Maybe you can reach out to him and see if he wants to head over with you?

Monmouth Arms has them in stock with mags pinned to 15 rounds...http://www.monmoutharms.com/firearms.html

Hmm, ok we’ll see what time I can get there. Sounds like noon is too late I’ll see what I can do... -Jim

How long is everyone going to be there? I have some running around to do in the AM but I think I can get there around noon or so... -Jim

Cz75 or CZ75 SP01 can use 15 round mags from Pro-mag or they make stock ones but they are pretty expensive. I think the stock ones are Mec-Gar but I may be wrong on that... https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/category/parts-and-accessories/magazines/cz/75-85/9mm-magazines.do Look around though, I’ve seen them cheaper then this... Buy a new one with 10 rounders and use one of those for your Barney round... I have been thinking about IDPA for a couple of years now but haven’t decided if I want to put in the time to get good at it. I suspect since you like the P226 you should like the SP01 tactical. It has the decocker. Mine has the safety so I can use it cocked and locked or drop the hammer manually. BTW the CZ actually has a middle hammer position that shortens the DA when you use the decocker. It doesn’t drop the hammer all the way so your first shot the hammer is about a third of the way back. Shortens the trigger pull up a little more then the sig which drops the hammer all the way. -Jim

Cool. I know logically loaded magazines are not loaded guns however N.J. also bans slingshots so logic has very little to do with law in this state. I suspect the person who told me is just following what he was told or is using an abundance of caution... Thanks -Jim

I was told that having loaded mags was treated as having a loaded gun when transporting in NJ so it wasn’t legal to transport loaded mags to the range. Was I misinformed? Sometimes it’s tough to determine what is actually legal in NJ I rotate a couple of loaded mags at home so as to not wear out the springs and to make sure I practice with all my mags to be sure they are working correctly but there are always a couple of them loaded along with a couple of revolver speed loaders ready depending on what’s at hand... -Jim

Well, northern VA, and the i95 corridor to Richmond then another large enclave around Virginia Tech in Blacksburg... -Jim

Well, I’m taking a wait and see approach to it. Making up phantoms about door to door confiscation and mental evaluations for permits just feeds fear and paranoia. Granted, we’ve seen the bills that Christie vetoed so we know what is on the table but we haven’t seen all the hole cards yet so stay loose and be ready. The next move is theirs. No point in fighting shadows at this stage. It just tires you out and gives them power over you. Far as what I am buying, I have one permit left and I am waiting for the Black Friday deals to start showing up. I am thinking either some version of a S&W 686 or maybe a Beretta 92 type pistol of some sort. I just got a nice CZ75 sp01 and I am really liking that platform too so maybe something like a p01 is an option too. These were on my list well before the election and I am not changing the list because of “what if this” or “they might do that” then they win without doing anything. Fact is we all knew Kim G was a long shot and most likely we’d be exactly where we are now for at least the last few months if not longer so anyone that is just figuring it out and panicking now hasn’t been that observant. JMHO -Jim

I have the CZ75 sp01 and just installed a few upgrades last night. cz85 combat trigger CGW reduced power trigger return spring CGW stainless steel guide rod CGW 13# Recoil spring Houge extreme aluminum checkered grips in clear aluminum polished a few parts as well. It was a bit of a bear to change the trigger out but YouTube got me though it. Taking it to the range tonight to try out the upgrades but I can tell the trigger overtravel screw is a nice addition and the shape of the 85c trigger is a little flatter and a little shorter then the stock trigger. It feels more comfortable dry firing it. We’ll see how the recoil spring works out. I got the tuner’s set so I have different weights if I don’t like the 13 but most folks seem to think 13 or 14 are a good place for a factory ammo gun to be at. Excuse my mousepad, I've had it for like 10 years now and it's been though a lot ... I think the SP01 looks good with the contrast of the stainless trigger and guide rod along with the clear aluminum grips on the dark black coating of the gun. Not sure what CZ uses but it is a nice coating... -Jim

IWI split with Magnum Research recently and I think their main pistol is the Jericho which Magnum Research still markets as the Baby Desert Eagle. Magnum Research has a better distribution network in the states so I think IWI needs a winner of their own. Magnum Research is now their competitor selling their most well known product so they have to do something. It’s a tough sell against a huge group of competitors. Even companies like Beretta and Ruger are having trouble getting market share in the striker fired pistol market. They need something outstanding if they want to get a foothold. I hope they do well... -Jim

12th might work for me too... this month is rough work wise plus Thanksgiving thrown in there so that might be the only option for me... -Jim

I just saw a commercial for X-Files coming in 2018

I need to find some more Taurus revolver owners, a sample of one is not really indicative of the line apparently I am thinking about the Taurus beretta 92 clone and that seems to get good reviews too. -Jim

I just picked up the sp01 with the safety instead of the de-cocker ( that the only difference between the standard and tactical models) and one of the guys in my bullseye league did a group of three at 25 yards one handed bullseye style. 2-x’s and 1-9 so a 1.5” group !!! Even I was able to do 3 inch groups of 3 at 25 yards (2 handed though , I am still a bullseye noob ) This is no mods out of the box, crazy accurate gun! I am afraid to see how accurate one of their race guns is or what CGW or CZCustom can do with one... -Jim

586/686 is a nice gun at a good price. I went with a 627 because I liked the weight and overall feel and 8 rounds vs 6 or 7 but I am still thinking about the 686 and might end up with one at some point. Mild work like a little polishing and a spring change will get you a sweet trigger. GP100 is really nice as well but generally not as well finished as the S&W though my Match Champion is really good and narrows the gap a bit. Trigger on the GP100 has a little plateau in the pull right before the break that takes some getting used to for a slow trigger pull. Shooting it for speed you don’t notice it as much. A friend had a Taurus, not sure what model it was, and it definately needed a trigger job and some TLC out of the box just to make it functional. He eventually chose to just trade it in on something else rather then spend time and cash to get it to where he wanted it. Heavy, gritty double action trigger and slightly less heavy but still gritty single action trigger. No Colt experience but used prices are off the charts on them so no interest in collectors pieces that I would be afraid to shoot. JMHO Good luck with the search, let us know what you choose. -Jim

That is sweet! Congrats. Let us know how she runs ... -Jim

Congrats! She looks like she’s going to be keeping the kids tired and happy -Jim

Randy Wakeman seems to like them. http://www.randywakeman.com/ReviewRemingtonV3FieldSportAutoloaderPartOne.htm http://randywakeman.com/ReviewRemingtonV3FieldSportAutoloaderPartTwo.htm http://randywakeman.com/ReviewRemingtonV3FieldSportAutoloaderPartThree.htm http://randywakeman.com/ReviewRemingtonV3FieldSportAutoloaderFinale.htm I've been waiting to check out a wood stock model but haven't seen one anywhere yet. The synthetic stock model seems well made, I did get to check that one out but haven't shot one yet. Most reviews seem to say the new gas system makes it a really soft shooter. -Jim

That was me, I figured coffee and munchkins wouldn't be turned down first thing in the AM -Jim

I only got to hang out for a couple of hours but it was still a lot of fun. I wish I could have stayed longer I second the name tag idea. It's tough to match faces to real names then to forum handles. Hope I can make the pumpkin shoot. Maybe we can do a breakfast run to the Clinton Station Diner before hand if anyone is up for it... just a thought. -Jim

I'm good on 10/22 mags right now but someone might like this deal but it's only until 10pm eastern time tonight. Also, you can order online and pickup in store so no shipping and they have a deal where you spend $50 and get $10 back in Dick's rewards points. https://m.dickssportinggoods.com/p/ruger-bx-1-10-shot-magazine-15rugustrmxtrclpfgua/15rugustrmxtrclpfgua -Jim

Yeah, same at Lake Island... but they have stationary ports with walls so you can run space heaters in the shooter area. Unfortunately the vent system is so strong it sucks the heat out though to shooter ports. I guess it's good to know the vent system works LOL -Jim

I sent over a copy of my NRA training certificate last weekend. Online I signed on to check the status an no change yet and my profile doesn't reflect the training but checking the membership orientation calendar, it looks like the earliest one still open for registration is Dec 28 and apparently you need a registration number to register for it. I guess they have to give you that number... Sounds like I won't get to be a member until Jan at the earliest at this point -Jim

Don't worry, I'll be missing at least as many as you. I've only had a couple of outings shooting clays with long periods of time between them so at least I'll be in good company -Jim
