^^Came in to post this -

^^^This is the best point I've ever read and is 100% true. Changing politicians won't do it. We need to change the culture in this state. Talking guns in public (i.e. not at the range) is almost "taboo", don't think so, try it next time you are out to eat and having a conversation with your buddies about your guns. Look around you and see how many people are paying attention and may look a bit uncomfortable. Its baffling. The women and youth (and I'm only 29) in this state are the only hope, and we need to talk, eat, sleep, and breathe our freedoms every day. I routinely wear shirts supporting 2A, patriotic values, etc, and I've noticed that it gets attention, and all positive. People WANT to talk about their freedoms and love to see people expressing them. If women would flip the "stereotype" by the wayside and become real gun enthusiasts and advocates for shooting and firearms (GREAT job at GFH doing this btw!) over the next couple years we'll have a hell of a lot more chance than just getting a different governor. Looking for something to do with a group of friends? Instead of going golfing or to AC, go to the gun range for the day! Let your buddies shoot your guns if you can so you can "hook them up" by not having to rent. Have them bring their girlfriends, don't make it a strictly "guys day out" - Talking to someone at work who doesn't own a FPID and is interested in firearms and shooting and just says "ah I never shot before, I'm too old, my wife doesnt like guns" etc - take them both to the range one day or get them a gift card for an hour of port time - guarantee you they will go and love it. Absolutely 100% right above me.

Those were my fuzzy college days so I may have hit it at a later date when I wasn't so annoyed -

Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unconstitutional. So next step is Supreme Court, no? And yes its laughable that NJ will just whisk away justifiable need because of a ruling like Heller, McDonald, or this, hilarious. They could care less. New York could go constitutional carry but some idiot in Trenton will be standing firm with Sandy Hook mothers.

I almost spit my coffee at this because its true -I went to Ramapo - and since you're from Morristown you'd appreciate this - I told some broad at a party one time who I was hitting on that I was doing a big construction job in Morristown that weekend, and she goes "Where is that? Is it off Route 17?" I gave up on trying to bang her and moved onto the next one.

^Great update and work!! Keep it going!

I've been also meaning to try Jockey Hollow's beer hall in Morristown - heard its pretty nice - +1 for Zeppelin Hall, great time if you take the train to get silly.

Gun for Hire in Woodland Park - nice job on the XDS, I agree, the 2-tone Springfields look just proper - I am thinking about the XDMod2 in .45 myself

This is pretty awesome - good for them I hope they keep growing and succeeding!

What do you know, we can't even get concealed carry and state after state passes constitutional carry

People still read the Bergen Record? LOL I breezed through it and for the most part the writer is right for the fact that Christie has always been a disarm the citizenry person for the most part, he's done the bare minimum on standing up for whatever small amount of gun rights we have left in order to run as a Republican for governor and for President - I've heard him say enough times in speeches and interviews that he doesn't want people carrying guns - he only wanted to change 1 word of the justifiable need definition so that he could say he was "doing something" - changing a word in 8 years doesn't exactly give me hope we are "slowly turning things around here" - sometimes you just gotta grab the bull by its balls and hope you'll have your head left after it. He doesn't have much time left, he should turn the fire up, if thats really what he believes now, IMO My .02...

We need to start by stopping the concessions before the race even begins - look how we ended up with Christie - no increase to our freedoms whatsoever, are we going to be happy with 8 years more of stagnation and nothing changes just because a Republican is in the high office? We'd have better luck getting more Republicans in the legislature - We also need to start flipping the Democrat talking points by the wayside, something the Republicans are unable or unwilling to do (because they could give 2 shits about our rights as most politicians regardless of party) - "Hi I'm Joe Rullo and I'm for common sense family safety for our law abiding gun owners in this state - I'd like us to join the other 44 (or whatever it is) of the 50 United States and support concealed carry for citizens, somewhere New Jersey is falling behind compared to other states - Its the common sense thing to do and if it saves just one more woman from being raped, one more citizen from a mugger in our inner cities, that's worth it" - Just thinking out loud here - We need to use their tactics against them, not give up before even trying because "it will never work" - just my .02

Nice find! I've been looking to add an 870 and do a tactical type build to compliment my Mossberg 500 which is more HD set up now - What furniture is on it, wood? Do you hunt at all? I added the Hogue 12" LOP stock and forend on my 500, Mossberg heat shield and picked up an 18.5" security barrel and am very happy with it- for home defense its a great setup. I'm not a hunter.

I saw his posts and like him - I did like Lonegan as well if I can recall although its been 6 years now - seemed much more conservative and pro 2A than Christie back when they were vying for the nomination - wish he'd get drafted to run again

I think its so much funnier that she implies that the woman's husband may have bought it off AmazonPrime Guns just with a click and don't forget free 2-day shipping.

Sorry to hear about this - from one communist state to another - sad.

I'm more of an OEM+ guy personally - I think the Glock extensions are solid and seamless and have less of a "pinky catch" and more of a "pinky grip" if you know what I mean - slimmer on the back half of the extension really doesn't do much IMO, its a mag extension anyway, in my opinion from a concealability standpoint that Pearce +2 and the Glock +2 will still print the similar amount (if it was me I'd carry the flush mag and have a +2 or a 19 mag with sleeve as backup) - If you're just looking to add extra rounds to your factory mags either option works fine but I like the look of the Glock +2's - looks more "meaty" - and the Glock 19 Mags with the Xgrip sleeves look pretty seamless as well - Just my .02 - you really can't go wrong

Finally got my 3 permit apps dropped off yesterday, did my NJSP background search on their portal today - now the clock starts ticking, asked Licensing Coordinator how they were doing lately, he said "busy as hell" -

Personally I would either get the Glock factory +2 Extensions for the 26 mags, or use the 19 mags with the Xgrip sleeve as a backup - Not a fan of the Pearce's personally

^This - Heritage go for it for the selection but go to one of the other FFL's mentioned to actually get a good price on your purchase. HG is outrageously expensive

^Agreed I did get his email and at that price its no contest for sure - The wife and I are hammering out the details of when we are moving and getting our house on the market etc, most likely going south in the next year - so I am probably shelving the idea for a little while as I'd rather get the regular "rest of USA" version if I move to a real state lol - For now I'll stay stocked up on pump actions and handguns in this election year

^Fixed for you and yes go to your LGS to hold and rent some if you can - I would rent in Easton or another good rental range but if you are going to buy I don't know what Heritage Guild does but I wouldn't buy in PA and have to pay an FFL transfer fee - I'm sure they could direct you to inventory in their Jersey stores or maybe just send over there for you to take delivery and no fee since its one of their stores - Agreed on the rifles, I am itching to get a nice AR but my wife and I most likely will be moving to the bathroom capital of the USA before CC gets out, we were looking to get out anyway but now at least I have a deadline - I wanted Texas but NC is a decent compromise - and in the real USA you can get good old 30 round mags and non neutered stocks and barrels and I'm sure a ton of options so I'll probably buy AR's when I get out of this state. A small revolver is also a good choice, nothing wrong with a good wheelgun.

OK so I'm 5'7" and wear a Medium in adult gloves so we are similar - you want your pinky to always be on the grip, and you love your 1911 - yet as a possibility to carry it down the line? Then if it was me that last point would steer me from 1911's - I love my 1911 but the bobtail on it and the weight keeps me from ever wanting to carry it (unless I can carry openly) - we aren't big dudes and I'm decently athletic /weightlifting body type at 185-190 lbs and I probably wouldn't want to carry a 1911 The Walther PPS M2 should be a nice fit for you, compact gun with pretty ergonomic grip, if you can find the LE version, it comes with 3 mags, 6 rounds flush, 7 and 8 rounds with pinky extension - you might not like the flush mag but your pinky should be close to getting on the grip. Maybe a Sig 320 (Compact, Full, or Carry should all be able to get all fingers on it) with the Small grip module? You could get a Subcompact conversion kit for it to if you ever wanted to carry it out of state.

^^That was a great deal - they also had a free shipping on all Springfields as well a week or two ago and the XDMod 2 .45ACP was $480 shipped in bi-tone and $450 or $460 shipped in black - should have jumped on it because they sold out quick

Walther PPS M2 - for the price its a great compact 9mm single stack - about $420 shipped to your FFL plus transfer and fees EDIT: Saw you wanted a fuller sized one - yes I agree a 1911 in 9mm then Just how small are your hands? I have smaller hands too so I feel your pain and a Glock 19 looks to fit me great, if you get the Gen4 they have the "SF" small frame size out of the box, and the included backstraps will increase the grip diameter - I have a Taurus 1911 .45 and even with slim grips my thumb cannot reach the mag release on it without shifting my grip for reference.
