1. Hope you know I was joking and see your point on why a 20 rd or 30 rd pin might be advantageous over a built to lenght 15 rd. I still prefer the idea of a 15 rd length mag (see #2), but it's all preference. 2. A 15 Rd pmag with the extended base will have more for me to grip that 10 rd pmag so I'll still be in a better place than I am now since I mainly practice/train with the 10 round pmag (I work the 10 rd steel box mags in periodically) 3.

Put a magpul on it then! lol its always easier to fix a problem you create with a totally different solution than reversing the cause of the problem. Engineering 101 Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Sledge, thanks for the head - ups on putting them together! Again, I'll let everyone know how I make out Sunday Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Wasted space mainly . My AR is an Armalite post ban, but the 10 round mag is a lot longer that the other 10 rd steel box mags I have. pretty much it's the engineer in me, lol. ....also.... LGR ;-) Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

1. I ordered some of these the other day after seeing this thread. 2. They are already here from CA (but I'm out of town for the Christmas ) so Ill let you all know how it works for me on sunday, planning on digging out my cargo shorts and going to the range with the global warming happening this weekend. even it it fits 14 vs 15 I'll be happy. Nothing against pinned mags, but it'll be nice to have 15 round mags that are the length for 15 rds not 20 or 30. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

That is the concensus here at NJGF. This line of thought/discussion seems to come up at least every 3 months, and this commissioned report is highlighting that fact to the rest of the world with out pointing out the fact that Christy can have the AG add the words "Self defense " and really help out the residents of NJ who want to take responsibility for their own safety Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I mean there has to be someone on here who has gotten a CCW that isn't a retired LEO or SOAR/Security Guard. So how did you/thay get it without "connections" Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I think if you dig through the "law/regulations" competency is 40 hrs of training for a NJ Police instructor and passing Handgun qualification #1. I'll try and find the exact reference Edit: Maybe this is what one of my instructors said it would likely be if we ever got true CCW Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

So this is what this article says in a nut shell: Atlantic County politicians think we need to change our gun laws in NJ , but of course this journalist knows better and references severabl flawed studies that say more guns are bad. Some of these politicians are just outright honest that the laws need to change, others play the political game of it has to be done the "right way" if at all and people need training . We'll guess what people, we got one of the best law enforcement training centers in the state right here in Atlantic county and guess what it's open to the public. I've gone through police handgun qualification 1 there, I have almost 40 hours of training in the past yearfrom qualified police instructors who worked on the Job in AC as patrolman/SWAT/and even as personal protection detail for the one and Only Donald Trump. So please tell why I'm only safe enough to be protected from those who want to do harm to me and my loved ones at my home and no where else in NJ, because cops don't carry guns for my protect, they carry them for their own protection.

That's why I got a G22, of course after shooting 40 s&w for a while, shot my buddies G19 and the lower recoil of 9mm made the fact it felt so small in my hands a mute point

I think it is. Especially if most of rifle experince involves a bipod or bench rest only. It will cover prone, sitting/kneeling, standing working with a sling. It won't make you a sharpshooter (i.e. a rifleman in Appleseed speak) over 2 days, but it will give the fundamentals and allow you to practice the techniques you are taught until the next one. I did it back in may at SJSC/Bangers and really enjoy it. If I was able to I would already be signed up for October. I will be going back as soon as I can

I use my AR, an off the shelf post-ban Armalite....I was the only one. everyone else had 22LR rifles

I second that. I did a post after I attended one at SJSC/Bangers earlier this year. http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/76544-Project-Appleseed-Event-at-SJSC/Bangers Project Appleseed Event at SJSC/Bangers

I think it's relatively new, or at least I just noticed it. I think and my wofe might come check it out soon.

Welcome from Mays Landing!

As shared previously: that is a "72hr" type bag situation, not a never coming back home, SHTF, end of the world as we know it situation

I woke like 4 shows spring of 2006. One was Kid Rock and I had to help separate couples in the middle of coitus, lol. I also confiscated several knifes (i.e. work knive, pocket knives) doing pat downs at entrances. It doesn't matter the crowd, most concerts that are a formal wear occasion get pretty roudy.

I feel the same way. I find that I half unpack my get home bag anytime I go camping/backpacking.

While I have no other point of reference, but I picked uoa Remington 887 Nitro Mag last year. I went from shooting 10 out of 50 to 32 out of 50 from January to May at Red Wings Sporting Clays in port republic (outside Atlantic City). The guys I hooked up with tied it out and liked it a lot over there old 870s, much lighter, smoother action. I don't no anyone else that has one and obviously this doesn't have much in way of aftermarket support, but I still like it.

Yeah, if your going to go out of your way to insure your firearms because you homeowners insurance company isn't going to replace your guns as part of your possessions, go with a someone who wants protection your guns. I have a small collection so the free $2500 coverage included with my NRA membership still covers all of my collection.

While I understand the anti MOLLE position, more and more people have "EDC MOLLE" bags, etc. so I don't know that totally true. I think if someone is going be an agressor, it wont matter what gear you have, they are going to try and take it from you, and do whatever they want to you and your family. Regardless if your wearing all milspec camo and gear or the REI "I go camping for the weekend" special. Granted I'm with you that Bugging Out is totally a last resort. Something that is load bearing makes a lot more sense for a true end of days the world is falling apart bug out. So for me that's my camping/backpacking pack with an internal frame that probably isn't big enough to me to really bug out with my wife. Photo care of Zombie Safe Area group on Facebook

And to contribute to the OP, I use a 5.11 Rush 24 pack for my EDC needs to/from work ( lunch, rain gear, flashlight, multi-tool, paper work) and it works great, takes the abuse of daily use for going on 18 months....but I use LAPG 3 day pack ( http://m.lapolicegear.com/diplomat-3-day-backpack1.html ) for my get home bag. About the same size as my 5.11 pack and comprable Built quailty but it's only $30 vs $130
