best place to buy pistol ammo online?
I was wary about using Target Sports USA in the past because of the negative reports online. However, I recently ordered from them because they were the cheapest option for 124gr 9mm bulk ammo and chose to pick up the ammo now that I have moved back to CT. They're a relatively small operation and I can attribute their slow shipping times to this. I will definitely order from them going forward.

One (more) permit left, Striker/Polymer and under $700, What to buy....
I recently picked up a P320C with siglite sights. The trigger is a little bit heavier when compared with my vp9, but the break is much more defined. Overall, the quality of the handgun is fantastic and ran beautifully with both FMJ and JHP down the pipe. This will be my new EDC once I find a left handed holster for it. However, I would try it first and not blind buy. Availability has been a bit sketchy, but I found one through Hoffman's Gun Center in Connecticut. They're an elite dealer and my "born on" date is 09/24/2016 which is pretty much fresh off the manufacturing line. I was in the shop, processed through NICS, and paid in less than half an hour.

Package of Ammo left in the rain- Ruined?
Hello everyone, The lovely Fedex delivery man left my package of 1,000 rounds of S&B ammo in the rain. According to the Fedex site, he delivered it at a time when it was pouring in my area. I have taken the ammo out of the boxes and am leaving them out to dry, but is it a lost cause at this point? Thanks!

Permit to Burn: Help!
My last permit is about to expire and I'm at a loss on what to get. At this point it's either make one last purchase, let the permit expire,buy ammo, another AR, or parts for my AR in the event parts will become harder to find in the near future. I know I might be a bit paranoid about AR parts becoming scarce, but you never know with all the press firearms in general have been receiving. I think I have all major groups for me which consist of: DA/SA 9mm - Beretta Striker Fired full sized 9mm CCW 9mm 1911 Striker Fired .45 ACP .22 lr I really would not like to add another caliber, so I'm really leaning towards another 9mm as it's the caliber I shoot often. I was thinking a base CZ 75 Shadow, but it seems redundant with by already having a full sized all metal 9mm.

Range membership - Cheery Ridge vs RTSP
Off Topic, but this is related to: Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about his place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section, from any place of purchase to his residence or place of business, between his dwelling and his place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between his dwelling or place of business and place where such firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location. Question: If you're a stock holder of the company in which you hold a position, are you exempted as long as the company you are an owner of (albeit a relatively small percentage) does not have a codified policy against firearms on the property?

Beginner- Shotgun for Trap
My girlfriend took me to my first shotgun related session this weekend at Thunder Mountain. Let's just say I'm sure she's regretting it now that I'm in the market for a shotgun to shoot clays with. All jokes aside, it was probably one of the best shooting activities I have done in quite some time. It sure beats standing in a port shooting at a stationary target. I used a Remington 870 express which I liked a lot. I know many would suggest an over/under setup, but I'm not looking to spend that much. As with everything firearm related, the internet can be the devil and while I enjoyed my time with the 870, I have my eye out for a Beretta A300 Outlander for some odd reason. Would I be better served taking the immediate "jump" to a semi, or should I stay with what is arguably "tried and true". thanks!

S&W SHIELD 9 CCW
I'm a short and relatively skinny individual. For me, it's more of an issue between using the seven round vs. the eight round magazine with finger rest. I've been using the concealment express iwb holster with adjustable cant and have no problem concealing even with more "tight" fitting polos and jeans/khakis/pants. Aside from the obvious printing, most of the time people will mistaken it for something else other than a firearm. My home town up north is ultra sensitive to any type of carry, and I have never been questioned for carrying in public.

Glock 43 (Single Stack 9mm?)
I tried a g43 at the range today and it was a nice shooting gun with the exception of the trigger finger pain I had by the end of the session. I have a vp9 with a similar "safety trigger" and it does not cause me any discomfort compared with my time with the g43. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Woodland Park Range
Yesterday was a day which should have ended with a few wrinkles and white hairs on my part. It was my friend's birthday and we initially intended on going to the range as a walk on group since we only had 10 confirmed a couple of hours before our agreed upon time. As I was driving to the range, I received a text from my friend's girlfriend stating we had 16 to 18 confirmed people. I thought to myself that it would have been nice to be informed of this much earlier. Knowing how busy the range can become at times, doom and gloom started to take its hold on me. I admit, I was not in the greatest mood at the time fearing we would not be able to accommodate everyone. However, Anthony and his staff at the range never fail to please and found a way to accommodate my rather large group of first time shooters. Alex has always been a great resource and is always willing to chat with me when I go on my own. He was very quick to find a solution which put me at ease. Anthony stopped by and as a gracious host, put everyone at ease. Everyone had a great and safe time at the range and I was able to accomplish a couple of objectives: 1. Throw an unforgettable birthday for my friend 2. Convert a few people who were on the fence in regards to firearms So once again, much thanks goes to Anthony, Alex, Ken, and the rest of the GFH crew who were there. You all are the best and thanks for your patience!

Pre-Ban AR-15 Lower: Where to Find?
A 2014 Daniel Defense lower with their furniture. I may transfer the lower to my girlfriend in the event I end up in NJ at some point in time. The 10 round limit is definitely a bummer. As you stated, when considering the ability to carry and NFA, this potential move has it benefits. On top of that, we have organizations willing to litigate against the state; our own state.

Pre-Ban AR-15 Lower: Where to Find?
I'll keep my story short, but I may relocate to my home state of Connecticut in the near future. I own an evil black rifle and I need a source for a pre-ban lower in order to legally keep my rifle. Problem is, my web surfing skills suck and I have not had any luck on GB. Does anyone know a good source? Best Regards

Welding a muzzle brake
This is off topic but this question relates to muzzle brakes. Is it possible to "fix" a poorly welded muzzle brake? I bought a rifle a while back and have never been happy with the weld which covers the pin. The dealer I purchased this rifle from made no attempt to blend and left a giant weld blob on the end of my comp.

Black Friday alerts dicks paramus
I was there after 12:00AM. The reason why they had no one in the department was due to the fact the guy scheduled for the shift fell down a flight of stairs and broke his arm. I went back around 11:00AM today and the person had a huge cast on his arm. Due to this "slip up", they were apologetic to the customers like me who had showed up in the early morning.

1911 vs. HK45C vs. the world
I was ready to buy a p226 or p229 or p30 9mm with my remaining permit (and still am). However, I was given the chance to shoot a 1911 commander today and enjoyed my time with the .45 acp. I have been trying to justify staying with one caliber and currently own a DA/SA and striker fired handgun in 9mm. This next purchase would serve as another range gun and carry option when I cross over to Connecticut. So, what would you guys choose between the hk45c and the Colt O4012XSE? Knowing I still have a desire to stick with one caliber, would any of you recommend the 9mm options I'm looking at over these two handguns?

Did I luck out with Bass Pro Shops?
I saw a deal for bulk .22lr on their website and not knowing they don't ship to NJ, I placed an order. I received an order confirmation yesterday. Today, I received a tracking number indicating the item has shipped. Have they changed their policy or am I pretty much setting myself up for a cancelled order in the near future?
