Video title says it's a "gun range instructor" but it's obviously not. I thought the video was going to be over quickly when he looked down the barrel of the loaded pistol, but he was lucky. Not so much for his girlfriend... https://worldstar.com/video.php?v=wshh3BjN0PQbOJr2vi28 So much fail and stupid....

I believe the "club" has been around since the 1930's and the building since the 50's? One of the guys at my club participates in the competitions there from time to time so I'll ask him if he knows.

Not sure about membership, but I was there watching a small-bore match a couple of weeks ago, so I was able to see the club from the inside. It's definitely an old-school place. Almost like it's caught in a time machine from the 1950's (or earlier). Front door opens to a good sized ready-room with tables, filing cabinets, coffee pot, hangers for members jackets, etc. Furniture, pictures, and decor are old, but it's kind of cool to see the trophies and history of the club. The range is about 25 yards with 8 ports. It's rimfire/.22 only and there appear to be manual target carriers in place (they weren't used for the competition). Depending on membership cost and hours of operation it seems like it would be a great place to shoot.

That's incorrect. Reasonably necessary deviations are allowed. They include "collecting and discharging passengers; purchasing fuel, food and beverages, medicine, or other supplies; using a restroom; or contending with an emergency situation". In 2016 Chris Christie had the AG release guidance to provide context around that: https://www.state.nj.us/oag/dcj/agguide/transporting-firearms_guide.pdf Your examples are covered as reasonable deviations.

I have a DA/SA Tanfoglio (CZ clone) with a firing pin block. I presumed (incorrectly) that they were pretty standard on modern DA/SA pistols.

I'd recommend checking to see what information your town has online before engaging the police department in that kind of conversation...

Indeed. SUPER rare/random.

Tragic. Shooter missed his holster while getting ready for a stage and dropped his gun. Gun landed on the hammer and killed the RO: https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2020/11/07/man-killed-accidental-shooting-genesee-conservation-league-gun-club-penfield-ny/6203971002/ Thoughts and prayers to the RO's family. Stay safe out there all our forum members who RO or participate in competitions.

When I first got some 10 round ProMag magazines for my Mini14 the spring was way too tight for me to load 10 rounds and have them seat on a closed bolt. After LOTS of use I can smack them in and they'll seat, but when it's sitting in the safe I usually have it loaded with a 9 round magazine just in case. I'll be 3d printing a magazine coupler this week, so that will help with capacity...

Ahh, I missed the part about ti being pistol caliber! No, I don't think the cleaning rod would be long enough in the pistol kit, so your best bet is a multi-kit. They're a little more than the single kits, but you'll be able to use them with any gun you buy (https://www.amazon.com/Hoppes-62108-Hunting-Cleaning-Supplies/dp/B07NBXQG79/ref=sr_1_17_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=gun+cleaning+kit+with+oil+and+cleaner&qid=1604972497&sr=8-17-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQVpRMjZPMU9QNVYzJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzM4NjIyMk9KMkZHRUxQOEZJJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyMjI3MzRDTkpQMDBLM1hYWDEmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl) And yes, I'm a fan of the bore snakes, so I'd pick one up. It's a stupidly easy thing to quickly run the snake down the barrel after you shoot, so in the event of "oops I forgot to do a full strip/clean" you know the barrel isn't building up gunk/lead/etc...

No, that kit is specifically for .22 caliber rifles, so the brass cleaning brushes are too small for a 9mm pistol barrel. If the only other gun you have is 9mm then you can just pickup a pistol kit: https://www.amazon.com/Hoppes-Cleaning-Aluminum-Caliber-Pistol/dp/B001A4N47G/ref=pd_di_sccai_1/147-4376634-5157856?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001A4N47G&pd_rd_r=43cbb48c-bc71-4495-85f5-86216df5b391&pd_rd_w=xuJqP&pd_rd_wg=38shw&pf_rd_p=5415687b-2c9d-46da-88a4-bbcfe8e07f3c&pf_rd_r=6833W42RSN0QM86C9Y3Z&psc=1&refRID=6833W42RSN0QM86C9Y3Z Or if you have several guns in different calibers you could pickup a multi-kit: https://www.amazon.com/Hoppes-62108-Hunting-Cleaning-Supplies/dp/B07NBXQG79/ref=sr_1_17_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=gun+cleaning+kit+with+oil+and+cleaner&qid=1604972497&sr=8-17-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQVpRMjZPMU9QNVYzJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzM4NjIyMk9KMkZHRUxQOEZJJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyMjI3MzRDTkpQMDBLM1hYWDEmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

Yup. Take it apart and make sure it looks squared away. If it's actually brand new you won't have to "clean" it. Make sure there's no visible dirt/crud, make sure it appears to have been oiled (and oil it if it hasn't been), and run a bore snake through the barrel. After you shoot it, repeat the process, only actually clean and lube it (you'll already be an expert as disassembly/reassembly). Get a basic cleaning kit (you'll accumulate more as you get more guns), snake, cleaning solution, and oil, https://www.amazon.com/Hoppes-Legend-Cleaning-Caliber-Rifle/dp/B000CPKAUS/ref=sr_1_45?crid=2XRAHJQI5H1II&dchild=1&keywords=223+cleaning+kit+with+oil+and+cleaner&qid=1604962996&sprefix=.223+cleaning+ki%2Caps%2C274&sr=8-45 https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Rifle-Build-Cleaner-22-223/dp/B017VJOYJU/ref=sr_1_25?dchild=1&hvadid=78683851854143&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=ar+cleaning+kit&qid=1604962493&sr=8-25&tag=mh0b-20 There are a bazillion videos on disassembly/cleaning, so just watch a few and you'll see common themes:

Good luck. I applaud the effort. Thanks for keeping us in the loop on your progress. Hopefully you're successful...

Hope springs eternal, but Biden ran on a platform of eliminating semi-automatic weapons and pledged to name Beto Orourke as his gun czar, so I'm not sure what you're basing your optimism on. Biden is a puppet of the Democrat party machine, so he'll spout whatever they tell him to. Democrats have control of the House, and in January they'll likely get the Senate as well, so I don't see any bright days ahead for the 2nd Amendment community.

Good call IMO. Even if Trump wins I think it will take the market a while to get back towards "normal". IMO if Trump wins it will be another full year before things stabilize. At that point the panic-buyers will start looking to sell off the guns they never fired and we'll be able to buy again. The party will be over in 4 years as the pendulum typically swings back to the democrat side, so in another 2 years you should plan to stock deeply on whatever you need to weather the next storm.

Thanks all. WalMart in Boonton had half a pallet so I'm set. They were marked at $7.97/box but they rang up at $6.97. MUCH better than the $25/box an Amazon seller was asking.

Welcome to the forum. Not sure that's helpful to the people looking for in input on optic mounts in a "KEL-TEC Gen2 SUB2000" thread. Maybe start a thread titled "IMO Ruger PC Carbine is superior to KelTec Sub 2000"???

Thanks both. Ill head over to the Boonton Wally World tonight.

I wanted to pick up a box of clay pigeons for a fun/plinking shoot but I can't find them anywhere. I'm in North Jersey so my go-to was Davis Sport Shop in NY or Dick's (ugh) or Walmart online, but even they're out (https://www.walmart.com/ip/White-Flyer-Biodegradable-Trap-and-Skeet-Targets-Orange-Top-Black-Under-90pk-108mm-20lbs/16767630). Anyone have a source? Thanks.

I have my optic on a 1 inch quick detach riser. I don't think it's possible to get an optic low enough to co-witness unless you go with some kind of aftermarket iron sight setup. With the stock irons I have to get REAL low to make them usable...

I found an old salad spinner like this one for $3 at Goodwill: I don't use the spinning function. I just shake things around and move my had through the cases for a couple of minutes as I'm rinsing them. Works great for me. I take a little extra time on .223/5.56 cases but with the other calibers I load the pins come right out.

Indeed. If the description provided by Nappan is accurate, it looks like an "Oooops" moment for Homeland and the county prosecutor: "Nappen said when Moran received the first shipment of silencers, he went to a local auto parts store and showed them to a clerk. The clerk told Moran the devices were not filters and suggested he turn them over to police. Moran brought the items to the Carlstadt Police Department and handed them over at the front desk. Ten days later, a second shipment of silencers came to his home – even though Moran thought he’d canceled the order through PayPal. Nappen said Moran brought the box of additional silencers to police headquarters. But as he pulled into the parking lot, he was arrested by agents from Homeland Security and the county prosecutor’s office, who had apparently been monitoring his movements. “This is all pretty outrageous when you consider he tried to surrender these things,” Nappen told NJ Advance Media."

Agree

Respectfully, the short-shucking was fatigue, not stress. Last shotgun stage of at the end of 5 hours of shooting my first 3-gun. Stress was earlier in the day.
