I would consider night sights in the future, most likely the Glock factory ones personally (I'm an OEM+ kinda guy with everything I modify) The 17 is a sweet gun, the original. If I moved out of the state I would consider getting one, but I just feel weird buying something in this state that needs to be altered to be "compliant" with our laws - the point of the G17 is the full sized pistol capacity - Getting it "neutered" is just having a bigger G19 with the same capacity IMO - and I'm not someone for using it for duty so its not on my radar per se. Getting out of Jersey you can get the big old G33(I think?) mags and have big rifle capacity lol! How did you like the PPQ btw?

Maybe I'll buy the non-neutered model and keep it at my in-law's house in NC until I move down there in the coming months...

Who is worse than ours in regards to permit to purchase handgun? Maryland, California, New York? I gotta say I think we probably take the cake.

Welcome to the club! I purchased my G19 a week ago and picking it up on Wednesday - already ordered a few Glock goodies for it, a 4th mag, etc - extra magazines are fairly cheap compared to some other manufacturers as well - now go get some ammo! You know the deal with Glocks, you can't just have one! I'm already shopping for a G26 or G43, probably a 26 since the 19 mags are interchangeable

$600 out the door is phenomenal! Have fun!

Good choice. The PX4's are beautiful guns.

Yeah no complaints that I've read and yes it's South Korean - like I said I just tend to find American and European ammo and similar or better prices so that's what I go with. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a box of PMC

1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID). Additional P2P's (3) 2. Police Department where you applied. Bridgewater 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. Robert Hanlon licensing director. 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit. 4 weeks and 2 days exactly is when I got the call 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). None and the NJSP criminal records check 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.) NONE

I like those LifeJackets, good idea! Yeah I always wondered if anyone actually used them, I can't see needing more than 1 or 2 max.

^Always liked Steve Forbes - @ Newtonian yes I'm hoping not in my lifetime, I will keep moving as I have to - probably end up in the Dakotas or Vermont - VT may have hippies but at least they don't care about "control" of our arms

You know, those weird looking things that come with our guns? -Do you just toss them in a dark corner somewhere LOL -Do you toss them in the trash because Murrica -Do you actually use them? If so, for what, interstate transport? I just realized I never even unwrapped the 3-4 that I do have.

All good - I mean yeah if you know you are getting 9mm order yourself some ammo and depending on what your wallet can handle. I just ordered 500 rounds with an ammo box it was like $130 shipped - plenty for starters, once you know what your gun likes and what you like to shoot you can order in higher quantities. Order yourself 2 - 250's and try 2 different types. the 115FMJ is the lightest range ammo around, I ordered 124gr, and I'm not a ballistics expert but I also think 147gr is a popular load. Order some FMJ range ammo, I have ammo from Sellier & Bellot (Czech), Federal American Eagle (USA), Fiocchi (Italy) - all been great ammo brands for me. I'd steer away from TulAmmo steel cased obviously (dirty) - Personally i haven't shot the PMC but I tend to steer away from the Asian stuff because I can get American or European ammo for the same or less prices. Speer Lawman, Blazer Brass, also great brands.

^Good info and I knew about handgun transfers and P2P has to be done within state of residence for both parties - thanks for the info on long guns in DE, without having sales tax which I knew about that is great - maybe I'll go shotgun shopping in Cabela's next time I'm heading down south and see if I can get a good deal or just check the selection - since I'm moving I'm holding off on buying anything that is "NJ Compliant" as I'll just buy non-neutered AR style rifles and other long arms without restrictions when I move.

^But wouldn't you still have to pay transfer fee to FFL in NJ plus their NICS check when you picked it up and wouldn't they charge NJ sales tax on the paid price at pickup since its technically a sale (transfer) in the state of NJ? Pardon me if I sound like an idiot but I've never purchased a firearm from out of state before - however I'm going down to NC in August so if its easy I may make a pit stop at Cabelas and go shopping LOL

^^So with that being said, what places are safest out of the 50? Texas? Tennessee? Vermont? My wife wants to move to North Carolina, but it has 3 very blue areas and a lot of unSAFE act imports from the Northeast metropolis - I was looking at Knoxville TN as well, somewhere suburban and I can probably find work in the city there. The way things are going if we can set up in NC just to get out of Jersey, maybe work for another 20 years and we can retire to Texas (she says its too hot but I think she'd rather sweat and be slim than have her freedoms usurped any more)

On Andrew Wilkow he is always advertising "Ever Dry" or Eva Dry (sp?) in his gun safe - maybe try that if putting in a cabinet/safe in the garage? My basement is dry as a bone (rare I know) and I store my ammo down there - I throw in a couple 10g dessicant packs in each Plano Ammo box, and my guns/rifles/shotun are kept in cases strategically throughout the house and they also have a couple desiccant packs in each of their cases as well. Thats my storage regimen.

^I agree - I've also heard that some of the XD's used to come with a promotion in the box where you could register your warranty and get a few free extra mags? Not sure if they still do it - thanks for your impressions on the 3.3" 45, I'm debating whether I want to get that in bi-tone as my next 45 (and I definitely would carry it when I move out of this state in the coming months) or get the fuller sized PPQ 45 which I probably wouldn't carry when I move as its a bit large for me I think (5'7")

^^All great vendors - for what its worth I've been using Sportsmans Guide a lot lately - They will give you a free month trial of their membership (which gives you 5% discount on ammo and 10% I think on firearms) - and if you don't keep it its easy to cancel at the end of the month. They are like Amazon as well and every 3 or 6 months you can get a free month trial as well. Usually the vendors that offer free shipping are the ones that get my business because its usually $15 minimum and sometimes $25 from some vendors to ship ammo - Sportsmans Guide has been getting my business a lot lately because they run Free Shipping over $49 codes quite often (usually once a month) and I'd rather make smaller orders (say 250 rds or 500 rounds) once a month or so to be continuously stocking, then one bulk order of 1k or 2k rounds every 4 months - I just got 500 rds of 124gr 9mm S&B range ammo and 2 Plano ammo cans (I usually order one or two with each order as mine are all full) for like $140 shipped about 2 weeks ago - the free shipping is so worth it.

Soooooooo the summary of this is that basically the Court said screw our Constitution - in order to examine this case let's look to the British Bill of Rights under a King - that's the precedent of our land! So much fail....

^^I agree with this - we are so deep in the hole may as well throw some hail marys! Good luck Albert we are pulling for you!

^When I did my criminal records check I paid directly to the NJSP via their website link that my PD told me to visit

This is the most telling line of the article - and yet I wonder what the San Diego Sheriff or the local law enforcement went on record to say in most likely support of it. This is 90% of our problem here in my opinion - many in law enforcement feel they are the only ones who should be able to carry a gun for self protection on a daily basis. And until I hear them speaking up otherwise, my thoughts will remain that way. California officials said loosening concealed weapons permitting standards and allowing more people to carry guns threatens law enforcement officials and endangers the public.

No worries man and you're right about a G19 being a staple of any firearms collection - chances are, I'll be honest, whatever you buy now, you'll probably buy the other one in a few months, year, etc, whenever the wallet allows - I had a friend who put it to me this way - "Glock (19 in this example) vs. Sig (P320 Compact) vs. Walther (PPQ)?" The answer is always - YES - you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Looking forward to hearing with what you decide and your impressions on each! Hickok45 did phenomenal videos on both your choices, re-watch them a few times for sure - The PPQ 45 might be my election day present to myself, I haven't decided yet LOL

If you can spring the 45-50 bucks extra I'd definitely do the PPQ ---- let us know what you end up with! <<<says the guy who just bought a G19 today LOL However like I said I will have a PPQ in the future I just want a .45ACP - I bought the G19 now because I'll be adding a G26 in the future and want the "Glock system" in 9mm so to speak - I don't have any .40S&W handguns, 10mm, etc, just .38/.357 revolvers, my 1911, and now my Glock, so I'm trying to keep myself at 3 calibers currently for all my guns - and although I wouldn't hesitate to buy a .45ACP Glock I thought it would be more special to get a PPQ in 45 - and leave my Glocks to be all 9mm

^This - since it had been 2 years my PD had me do it - but if they said it hadn't been too long i wouldn't necessarily need it
