I was actually looking online for ammo deals today. I wasn't sure how ordering online worked so I'm glad you cleared that up I will check out cabelas. Shooting late isn't a problem for me so I'll definitely send you a PM and get in touch when I finally go out shooting thanks!

No offense taken haha I'm a new guy so I have a lot to learn. From now on I'll make sure to at least get 3 I appreciate your advice! Anything else I should know that is a MUST for gun buyers in NJ?!

Yeah only one and trust me people told me I should have gotten 2 or 3 after the fact but to be honest I would not be able to afford to buy 2 or 3 even with the 90 day extension. I'm okay with 1 for now and maybe end of summer I will apply for more. Still kicking myself for not asking around before filling out my app though

You're right I honestly feel like I'll eventually own all these guns right now it's just which one I want first haha. Obviously it's more important because buying guns is expensive and our state isn't very 2A friendly where we can buy multiple guns a month but either way I'm sure down the road I will own all of these guns. I'm actually a big fan of hickok45 and have watched both videos but I'm still going to go back and watch again. Even though he is a huge Glock guy he has great unbiased reviews of all firearms so I respect his opinion a lot. Hope you get the PPQ 45 and have a lot of fun with it. Find any excuse to get a present for yourself haha!

G19 still in stock?

Ever since I started researching 9mm pistols and looking through videos and articles about double-action/single-action/striker fired hand guns, its always been the G19 that caught my eye and interested me the most. Why? I'm not really sure but there's something about it that kinda makes me want it more. It might just be the simplicity and the endless comments of praise and reliability of the gun I'm not sure. However I don't want to rule out amazing guns like the PPQ until I feel them in hand so I guess we'll see what happens. If the PPQ feels better I won't hesitate to spend the extra 50-60 bucks. I think you keeping your glocks 9mm and having the "Glock system" is a cool idea and if you ever wanted a 45 Glock they'll always be there. Let me know how your shooting goes with the G19 and when you get the PPQ 45 cause that guns got to be so fun to shoot. Appreciate your thoughts and again I'll keep you updated!

I honestly think its between the G19 and PPQ right now. I won't know for sure until I stop into the shop and have them in my hands. I plan on going today or tomorrow to Monmouth Arms and check them out. If I like one more than the other I will probably end of buying it that day. Then I have to wait Thanks for the help ill keep you guys updated!

Once I get my firearm I will hold you to that guest pass haha! I was looking into Howell Gun Works as well I heard some good things about their shop and customer service. So far almost everyone has pointed me toward Steve at Monmouth Arms so I am going to try and take a ride today or tomorrow to check out some pistols. Ill keep everyone updated on how it goes!

Thanks for the info people always tell me that glock 19's aren't the best but almost everyone has them because of how reliable they are and how well they shoot. Not to mention they have the most aftermarket modification parts on the planet haha. I am going to stop into MA today or tomorrow and get a feel for the guns and possibly make a purchase. With so many options I definitely need to feel them in hand and get a better idea. Thanks again!

Everyone has personal preference I'll make sure to check the Sig out as well. I'm going to stop by Steve's too, do you know if you're allowed to hold a gun while waiting for FID/PP or do you need to have all your paperwork before fully paying for the pistol?

Wow! I appreciate your research. I'm definitely going to check these ranges out once I get my firearm, thanks a lot!

I've been hearing about Steve and actually emailed him the other day. I'll be sure to look into Howell gun works and check them out as well What about the Sig do you like more? Im open to suggestions I know for a fact that I want a polymer striker fired pistol as my first hand gun. My list was narrowed down to G19, M&P 9, VP9 (kind of out of price range), and PPQ. Thanks for your input!

Appreciate the suggestion I'll be sure to message him and see what he's got, thanks!

Thanks I am in Monmouth county!

Hey guys so while I am waiting on my FID and PP (fingers crossed that will be soon) I am looking around at different shops through out NJ for a good price on a Glock 19. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on shops they like to go to or have just heard good things about that I can check out while I wait for my permit. Also, what ranges do you guys like to shoot at and which would you recommend? Thanks!

Thanks I appreciate it and will keep that in mind

Steven has come up a lot on these forums and you're right he is very close by I'll have to stop by his shop once the paper work is in

Appreciate the info Art I will remain patient I am sure with such a big town there are probably many applications to go through. I will definitely check out GSSC when I do purchase my firearm. Any suggestions on gun shops to buy a G19?

Middletown Police Department 5/13- Filled out FID and Permit application (only getting 1 PP) 5/21- Got fingerprints done with IdentoGO by Morphotrust 5/23- References received and sent back letter to my PD 5/24- Went into PD and followed up with copy of my finger prints receipt because I wasn't sure if I had to bring them back. I read somewhere on here that you have to however with my police department you don't. The women at the desk told me I did not have to bring the receipt in however she took my papers and made a copy for their records. 6/7- Called the records department in Middletown PD and kindly asked for an update on my application. The women was very nice and more than happy to check my status. She told me that they had recieved all my paper work a couple days ago and that they are processing them at the moment. I am hopeful that they will be done soon. A couple of my buddies have told me that my PD is fairly quick so my fingers are crossed!!

Good to know! I've been looking into the different ranges in my area. A couple close ones are Shore Shot, Heritage Guild and Guns Fore Hire. Either way its a bit of a drive for me but its not terrible. Never heard of Garden State Shooting Center until now ill be sure to check them out thanks!

Thank you! Which range do you like to go to around here?

Hope your turn around is sooner than later man. If you don't hear back in a couple weeks I'd say maybe stop in and ask in person. Again I am new so I don't know for sure if that will help but its worth a shot! Good luck.

So far I've heard only positive things about my local PD so I hope you're right about a couple of weeks! Its crazy reading some of these stories on here about 6 and 8+ month wait times for FID and PP especially since its our right. I am looking forward to get shooting and spending my money at the range haha

Thank you hope you have a quick turn around!

Thank you I hope you have a quick turn around for your FID and PP as well! Where do you plan on purchasing your G19?
