124gr9mm

I know we can't build a pistol from an 80% kit, but has anyone ever built a Glock from parts online? I have a permit about to expire and I've been looking to pickup a sub-compact 9mm (if for no other reason than I don't have one). Gun prices in general are really high right now, but on Gun Broker I see lots of Glock G26 lower frames available, so I've been considering grabbing one of those and just picking up the rest as the mood strikes me this summer. I've done this before for rifles, but never for a pistol. Anyone build a Glock like this and have any success/fail stories to share? Dropping $200 now on a brand new OEM Glock 26 (gen 3) lower makes more sense to me than spending a LOT more on a complete pistol.

I see those from time to time in my range brass. I clean and reload them like the rest with no issues.

Glad to see this. Going online today to renew my ANJRPC membership.

You positioned yourself as a person of means in your introduction ("own my second home , an income property, good job making 100k plus a year") so I don't really understand the hesitation at the prospect of $6K - $7K lawyer fee. There's no shortcut or easy way. You know the path forward so you now have to decide if it's actually important to you.

I'll check my son's work schedule. We have everything in the list. Might be a good excuse for me to pick up another shotgun

I would not buy something that "looks like a gun" to protect myself or my family. It's great that it shoots pepperballs that may or may not stop an unarmed person IF it's deployed correctly, but it's still a hard pass for me. If you're going to use pepper-spray then get an effective pepper-spray canister. If you're going to get a gun, buy one that shoots bullets. That thing has no effective purpose IMO...

I thought he did well in "True Lies", but that's largely because he was in a supporting role to Arnold Schwarzenegger...who can't act.

Stupid is as stupid does: "The actor took to Twitter to encourage violence from people protesting police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who died May 25 in police custody in Minneapolis, Minn. when Officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. In response to reports that President Trump has dispatched additional federal law enforcement in riot gear without visible badges or name identification, Arnold suggested that liberals in D.C. arm themselves. “2nd Amendment is for everyone including black men with long guns but it's f---ing time for us white liberal men to stand up for our brothers & sisters. Borrow our dad's hunting rifles & go nose to nose with Trump’s gang of misfit tools. Let's do it,” he wrote on Twitter." https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tom-arnold-exercise-second-amendment-against-unmarked-police-washington-dc Seems to be writing checks for "us white liberal men" that he expects other people to cash for him. DO you think HE will actually pick up a rifle and confront the police/National Guard?

I think the video of the security guy taking an AR-15 away from a rioter has been posted already, but here's a follow-up interview that was done: Seems like a good guy.

Agree. Safe/cabinet in the closet is the best way to go IMO. You can't leave any firearms unlocked/available if there are kids in the house.

For rimfire I use this one with the kids when we go to the range: https://accurateshooter.net/pix/22targknowlimits.pdf You can handicap it for shooting skill by changing the point value for different shooters, and/or only allowing better shooters to go for the small targets. It says 50 yard prone, but you can set it at any distance (obviously)...

- For torso sized targets I got a big roll of bulletin board paper from a craft store (actually my wife got it for her classroom at school) and I use a cardboard IDPA target as a template and trace the outline with a marker. It costs me pennies (if that) for each target. - For regular indoor pistol practice I use 8 1/2 x 11 paper sheets that I get from the recycle bin at the office. Large company that produces LOTS of extra copies, so I have a stack about 2 feet high in my reloading room. Otherwise you can go to Staples and buy the cheap printer paper. I use 3M sheetrock corner adhesive and glue the sheets to a cardboard backer, and then I use a marker to make whatever target picture I want, or I use yellow Post-it-Notes. I then spray and paste a new sheet right on top of the old one, so I have fresh targets with almost every magazine change. I got the idea from this guy - - For rifle I use a combination of home-made paper targets (from the bulletin board roll) and shoot-n-see sticky targets.

LOL!!! At least you were nice about it. Joe told me to shoot from the parking lot if I was going to keep smoking the place out!

The poly coated bullets and Titegroup (or Win231) are a dead giveaway!!!!! After several thousand poly coated bullets I've switched back to copper plated. Too many smart-ass comments from guys at my club and too many complaints from my kids about the smoke.

IMO you're uninformed and focusing your anger in the wrong direction. Or pissing in the wind as my uncle says...

This. Murphy folded like a cheap suitcase AFTER the ANJRPC filed suit.

Read on another site that there's a "protest" planned at 12:45 in Newark today. Anyone going? I was thinking of packing some sandwiches and taking the kids. Maybe there will be some good speeches and reasonable discourse about the state of race relations and the force used by police.

Same. My semi-auto rimfires (pistol and rifle) seem to run best when frequently cleaned/oiled, so I do so. The rest depend on how many rounds go through them. I think I cleaned my Glock at one point too...

My father in law has probably taken hundreds of deer with a .44 magnum lever gun. He's really old and doesn't hunt much anymore, so he wasn't specifically using the Henry, but the caliber will more than meet your needs.

Thanks for sharing this.

Agree. Arrogance and a rush of ego that's driven by his ability to make millions do what he says when he says it. My son works at a big box store and they regularly have MUCH more than 50 people in the store. At best it's bro-science, but in reality it's just power overreach.

Enjoy. There didn't seem to be a really big line/backup at the pistol line as I was leaving, so you might get lucky. Rimfire range had no wait when I was heading out (there was just one dad with his kids).

I was there today. Initial rules are as follows: THis morning that translated to: Only 10 ports per range (pistol, 50/100 yard, 200 yard, rimfire). 300 yard line is closed, so it's only 200 yards. 1 hour limit per shooter/session. You need to wear a mask unless you at the firing line. Maintain social distance at other times. ------------------------------------------------ I got there around 8:15 and there were RO's at the gate asking what I wanted to shoot. There was one spot left at the pistol range but the rifle ranges were full, so I could shoot pistol or get a ticket for 9:30 at the rifle range. I took the pistol spot. RO asked if we wanted to just shot for the full hour or stop after :30 to switch targets. Everyone wanted to keep shooting, so there was no break. I hung around a little talking with people and it didn't look like there was a ton of people backed up to shoot, so I don't think anyone would have to wait more than one rotation. Glad it was open.

As long as the gun you have is NJ-legal I don't think any range (indoor or outdoor) in North Jersey would have a problem with it. Again, they may limit you to the rifle range(s), but just call and ask.
