Schrödinger's cat

Thanks, I’ll fix that. I don’t think there are any 6” J frames. Trying to get started with revolvers…

Looking for a blued 6” K frame S&W in good condition.

Does anyone have any updates on Ocean county? I know there are lots of people that have been waiting for longer, but I'd love to have an idea of the approximate wait. I dropped everything off on 9/1.

This is what I’m up to Jackson Twp. Ocean County I got my contributor case number before I filled out my application 7/27/22 Fingerprinted in Philadelphia 8/21/22 Qualified at Shore Shot 9/1/22 Dropped off packet Jackson PD 10/12/22 References called….

I just asked a friend from ocean county that got his a few weeks ago. His permit is completely unrestricted and he did not get any letter with restrictions from the court. It may be that this is something that was added later, I’ll ask some others. I dropped off my application at Jackson PD last week and they said they had only sent 8-10 applications to the courts so far. I don’t know if the clerk knew what she was talking about though.

I must have done something different than many, I got a money order from my bank. I have seen that people keep track of when the MO was cashed so I asked how I can check that. I was told that I cannot see that information, it is only possible with a cashiers check.

Reverse boating accident??

It is. It looks great, and the ratcheting mechanism feels quite sturdy. The belt itself is not nearly as stiff as I imagined a gun belt to be, honestly it seems pretty similar to some standard belts I have had in the past. Not sure if that’s a problem or just an observation. It will definitely be comfortable, time will tell if it will sag. It does seem fairly stiff top to bottom.

These are my first holsters, so I don't know much, but the fit of the Dale Fricke holster seems exceptional. Now I need to figure out how to make these fit and look half reasonable. I'm slight and short and want to carry tucked in, my pants bulge forward 2'' in the front. The holster design makes it that the bulge is wider than the holster itself, but it still looks weird. Not hey, I'm carrying a gun, just weird.

I went to the IdentoGo in a AAA location in Philadelphia (9475 Roosevelt Blvd, Philadelphia) I had an appointment, but they took walk ins. They let me change my contributor numbers, and I also took my photos there. I think it was about $10. Very pleasant, in and out in a few minutes.

I guess that’s why they make you qualify with both hands!

A friend of mine just got his, Ocean county. He applied very early on. He said he knows of two others from ocean county that got them, but they are security officers.

Can fingerprinting at Identigo be done before the qualifying and submitting the paperwork?

Shore Shot in Lakewood does not require drawing from a holster, and I heard one of the trainers discussing with an older gentleman who had a hard time kneeling that they will modify the requirements for him. I’m sure that most instructors at any range will be more than happy to help anyone with any type of disability.

Those look really really nice. Not sure if I understand the message correctly, but it looks like they don’t make the buckles from metal anymore, that’s a shame. I guess they use a similar click and track system to the kore essentials belt. The leather looks a lot nicer than any of the options I’ve seen so far.

The 100 year warranty is pretty amazing for a leather belt.

Those look pretty nice. I don’t need it, but it’s cool that they have dress belts as well. Are you thinking of getting the steel core? I was looking at Crossbreed and Relentless Tactical. I settled on a Kore Essentials. Not sure that I will like the click track style, but time will tell. https://www.koreessentials.com/collections/gun-belts/products/x3-buckle-xl-brown-leather-gun-belt

Let’s add belts to this conversation. What belt have you tried that does not look too tactical?

Interesting. Sounds pretty different than what the ranges near me are offering, but you got the qual and had a good time, that’s all that matters in the end.

Thanks! I remembered hearing his name a few years ago, and that people were very happy. I already mailed my rail adapter to him so he can make it fit perfectly. I’ll post pics when I get it.

Has anyone tried the holsters from Dale Fricke? I am left handed and have a G48 MOS with the recover tactical rail and a TLR-7. I would like to carry strong side AIWB with a tucked in shirt. I will try one of his holsters and get a mag carrier to go with it. The only concern I have is taking the qual with a IWB holster, it seems to me that it adds another layer of learning that I need to do. Obviously I need to train with what I'd like to carry, but I don't want to deal with that at the qualification. Oh, and by the way, hello to everyone again, it's been a while...

I didn’t know I can use stay brite on stainless, I’ve only used it on copper. I do know that I can buy brazing rods specifically for stainless, but I’ve never needed it. Maybe guys that work on ammonia systems.

Hello all, it has been a very long time since I have been able to hang out here regularly, it is great to be back! I know Glock has released a railed version of the Glock 48 in Europe, but for us suckers that already bought a G48 it's kind of too bad. The rails are a different size anyway. I bought the Recover tactical rails for the G48 and I like them, it seems well made and is on the gun pretty solid. The problem is that my Streamlight TLR7 doesn't fit, the slot for the rail is in just the wrong place no matter what rail insert I use. My question is has anyone else used this setup (G48/G43x with rail) with another light that fits? Perhaps the Olight? I really like the TLR7, but I would like a light on this gun. TIA

I don't know about the fridge, but in your particular manual you should see details about how it works, especially in the service manual. I am a HVAC service tech, and we use a heater cable with a thermostat that turns on the cable only when the temperature dips below 40 degrees for condensate lines in uninsulated attics. Something like that should work without costing you too much in energy bills.
