^If you had a good experience at Branchburg I'd be a repeat customer there if i were you for sure - they should take good care of you if you buy a lot of product

They work awesome on my shop vac (Ridgid, 5 hp 16 gal)

^ Check the FS ads, Plumstead in Cream Ridge has Glock 19 Gen4 for $520 no NICS - its a little ride down the turnpike, there is a nice winery in that town too that you can take the wife too (happy wife happy life) - that is about as good of a price you are going to get for new, and probably beats used as well. I'm actually debating getting another permit, getting one from them, and next year when I get my Blue Label discount I'll add a 43 or a 17 VP9 is a great choice - get the expensive one out of the way first LOL - I really liked it when I checked it out at one of my local LGS's, but ended up with PPQ this go around - I hate "using" stores to test guns out that you are looking to buy at other shops, but I understand especially since its right there. For what its worth, Efinger's in Bound Brook is right by me, I probably would buy from them if they would price match other stores but they have no interest in that - which I never understood but since they aren't really a gun store its not a big deal to them to lose a gun sale. My PPQ was $50 more there than it was buying from Steve.

^^Exactly man - it works so much better - and I just buy one of those crappy filters from Depot whenever I'm cleaning gutters with it and either rinse it out, or toss it when done - Normally I have the expensive HEPA filter on it, which gets blown out every few months when I empty it - long story short the vac is in one of our bedrooms, we have 2 house bunnies so the vac is used to clean their room daily - Ridgid kicks major ass, that 16 gal vac sucks up anything in the gutters, and I let the rain do the rest of the rinsing out. I need my gutters redone with 3x4 leaders and downspouts and 6" gutters because of the velocity (it runs over easily even when clean, in a huge downpour) - but at least it makes cleaning a lot easier now.

^This x100. All my guns were purchased without shooting them - I haven't regretted one purchase. However, like you said, many people will let other gun enthusiasts test drive if they are dead set on it.

I don't know why you keep mentioning heritage. Their prices are pretty outrageously high from what everyone tells me lol. You don't need to shoot all. Hold all in the hand with eyes closed, which feels more natural? Try triggers on all 3. Try all 3 triggers with eyes closed. Should be able to easily tell which one you like best. All the ones you mentioned are great shooters. You'll probably end up with all of them at some point.

That's funny you mention the mag release on the PPQ - you and I apparently don't have large hands but we must have different palm swells and finger lengths. I'm a Medium in motorcycle gloves. For me, the Glock 19 (and my 26) are fine out of the box with the mag release button. No shift in grip. The Walther PPQ M2, out of the box, actually is a bit EASIER by just a tad to hit the mag release without shifting grip. It has a Medium backstrap out of the box, unlike the Glock which out of the box has the smallest circumference for grip. Keep that in mind, the PPQ has a SMALL backstrap in the box! Maybe you need to try it. The 320C I haven't held, but it probably fits my hands well. They come with Medium grip modules but Smalls can be had for $40 The VP9 is not applicable because of the paddle release (much easier and practical to use middle finger of shooting hand to hit it) so for us it's moot. I, however, did not really like the paddle much. Keep in mind with this one, the VP9 has small side inserts and a small backstrap in the box so you definitely can get a smaller grip with it. No impressions on the M&P from me as I've never held or considered it. You would be happy with all 3 (and the PPQ if you try the small backstrap) in my opinion. Steve @ Monmouth usually carries all 3, I got a PPQ from him last weekend but he should still have a G19, and a Sig 320C - if you go there, and he doesn't have a PPQ - let him know I said you can hold my gun and try the small backstrap if he doesn't have another in stock - I prob won't be able to get down there to pick it up until Saturday.

Ding ding ding. I've seen too many crossfit injuries, poor form and poor instruction. My gym is $70 a month and it's not a social experience. I go, get my sweat and lift on, relieve some stress, go home and bone my wife like a porn star. Rinse and repeat. It's just not for me. I respect people who try it intermittently as cross training, as we know how beneficial that is. But for me if you are serious about fitness you should belong to a conventional gym with a conventional strength and cardio regimen.

I have a terribly pitched roof on my cape. I bought a gutter cleaning kit which has 2 extension wands and a curved gutter cleaning piece for my 16 gal, 5 hp Ridgid shop vac I got from Depot 5 years ago. The gutter kit was $34 from Ridgid. Now about 3 times a year I just go around the house and suck the leaves and debris out and into my shop vac. The extension wands and a 6 foot ladder are all I need to get around my 2 story cape. What used to take me 2 hours plus cleanup and a large ladder by hand, I am able to get done in an hour and only on a 6 foot ladder at the tallest sections. Best $34 I ever spent and such a time saver and so efficient as I just empty the vac as I go. Probably have to empty it 3 times if the gutters are really bad. With the pitch of my roof the guards won't help as water comes in at such high velocity it would end up rolling off in bad storms.

I should rephrase as well to the above - just not stuck in as lazy or fat of a rut as above LOL I will say the initial cult like status has died down, 2 summers ago I literally wanted to blow my brains out between the Facebook people all talking about Crossfit and hash-browning everything - who has that much time to post videos, IG pics, etc, while working out? I barely have time to call my wife back.

Here is good reading material - I am on board with a decent amount of what this author says. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/05/30/inside-the-cult-of-crossfit.html Personally i'd rather just go to Gold's Gym with my membership dues and pump my iron and do my cardio without it being a social media experience or something I need to talk about personally at every waking second of the day like its a club instead of a part of your daily lifestyle.

Real sensitivity to Crossfit around here I see - and the answer is no

If you have to ask why, you either own or are a member of a Crossfit studio, or haven't been weight training at gyms most of your adult life with pics of Ferrigno and Arnie from the 70s on your wall like I have been.

I fuckin hate Crossfit. But I love it now if I could win a Glock.

Thank you Steve for the PPQ I can't wait to pick it up Monday! And thank you for keeping my wife cool - would have loved to get it today on the way home but obviously our unexpected circumstances kept us from doing so.

July 28 is next update. Huge thread on vwvortex

You're absolutely right - no worries I already own a G26 and love my Glock so I know I love the 19. PPQ I held in a different store last week and fell in love with the trigger and ergonomic grip. I wouldn't mind a 320 in 9 or 45 so I will check it out but it's prob my 3rd choice. If the one he had in stock had night sights id consider it more. You're not kidding about the cost of ammo being better with 9 and it's a very capable question. My 1911 sits in the case more often than not and I don't buy ammo in bulk for it because it's my only pistol in that caliber, so I thought if I bought a "friend" down the line for it that it would justify buying 45 by the case. But definitely buying a 9mm from Steve tomorrow!

Wow! To be honest, my wife and I both can keep our jobs too and work remotely! We are doing the same, basically once we close on our house and have the new one secured and all that, we'll give the bosses a heads up and say you can let us continue to work remotely or consider this 2 weeks notice - there is absolutely zero reason he wouldn't continue to let us work remote at least for a few months - like you, I'll probably give it a few months to get established before I start searching for something new But I will enjoy the Jersey salary living in NC as long as I can LOL Its going to be a bit dicey selling here and buying there almost simultaneously (we have 2 dogs and 2 house bunnies and no way i'm moving down there to rent and put my stuff in storage) but we should be able to pull it off- will be thinking of you guys, keep your fingers crossed for us! And I no longer eat pork so I won't miss Taylor Ham lol

^^Enjoy it! I'm going there tomorrow to drool and take something home - he has too many options!! I also am looking at G19 or PPQ - Also want to check out the Sig P320, I don't really want it in 9mm but if I can get the Compact 45 version that may be my next .45ACP

This. I didn't even place my order yet with the vendor but I called my FFL yesterday and talked to them a few mins to make sure they were REALLY certain I wasn't annoying them by asking for a transfer.

WE NEED TO CLOSE THE FIRING PIN LOOPHOLE - IF IT CAN ONLY SAVE ONE LIFE

Hmmm did you put your zip code in on Gunbroker to find FFL's?
