IMO a lot more information is needed before an accurate answer can be provided. Will this be a home defense gun, carry gun, for a man or woman, someone with lots of experience, no experience, etc, etc. In very general terms if it's going to be a gun that sits in the nightstand or under a pillow and rarely (if ever) get fired, then go with the revolver. If it's going to be used at the range or for carry purposes then go with the semi-auto, but again, there are too many variable that come into play to make a decision based on the original post.

VERY good point Jack! Glad I bought mine from you!!!

Great deal. I reload, but that's a cheap way to get target ammo and fresh brass for reloading at the same time.

Give Jim Flynn in Glen Gardner a call. He seems to be able to find things from time to time.

Looks like they would be great truck guns...if I had a truck!

This. Of all things to assume a "blank" would be the last thing on the list for me. Unless you actually use blanks for some reason?

Here's here "apology". She tries to paint herself as a victim and push blame to the police. Clearly she doesn't get it: " Last month, my daughter and three of her friends were in a car that was pulled over by a Tenafly police officer for non-moving violations, including having tinted windows. The officers subsequently decided to impound the vehicle, leaving the four young adults on the side of a busy highway. Concerned, I hurried to the scene to assist them. As a parent, I was upset and uncomfortable with the unfolding events. I let my emotions get the better of me and regret my tone toward the police officers and use of off-color language. For this, I apologize. However, at no point did I violate the Port Authority's Code of Ethics or ask for special treatment for anyone involved, nor did I suggest, in any way, that I would use my position at the Port Authority to affect the outcome of the violations issued to the driver. My resignation from the Port Authority is a recognition that this unfortunate incident could and should have been avoided. As a long-time Tenafly resident, I have always taken an active role in the community, including working with law enforcement officials, and I encourage the Tenafly Police Department to review best practices with respect to tone and de-escalation, so that incidents like this do not recur. "

She resigned from her position as Chair of the Port Authority Ethics Committee. Turns out she was in violation of...the Ethics Policy.

No I haven't. Where does he keep the ammo? I presume it's not loaded in a magazine in the same suitcase?

Neither would I. I presume Johnny has some documentation to support the statement, but I'd never chance it. I go by the standard like repeated by the State Police: Shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel, shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances. The firearm should not be directly accessible from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have a compartment separate from the passenger compartment, the firearm and ammunition must be in a locked container other than the vehicle's glove compartment or console. For additional exemptions refer to Chapter 39, namely 2C:39-6g.

I had no idea this was true. I was under the assumption that all guns followed the "exempt location" rules. Didn't realize it was OK to travel around with an AR (unloaded of course) and ammo box in the trunk wherever I go.

Now that I reload, in addition to several thousand rounds of live ammo (when added for all calibers) I also have as much (or more) bullets, primers, cases, and powder ready to be loaded.

Strange indeed...

Human feces is not good to have lying around, not good to walk in...just not good period. If that was me I would have called the town a long time ago. That needs to stop.

Wow. That's a lot of cheddar...

Here's the follow-up from Lonegan after he met with the prosecutor yesterday. As suspected, no charges will be filed, but I'm GLAD that he went through with this. The prosecutor told him no charges would be filed because "it's up to the discretion of the county prosecutor whether to apply the law to an individual based on their intent" Wonder how many regular citizens would be able to avoid punishment because they didn't "intend" to break the law??? Thanks to Lonegan for pointing out the double standard for politicians and ambiguity in the way gun laws are followed.

To be fair, the poster that the troll tag was directed to came on VERY strong and seemed to be in "attack" mode pretty quickly. I don't think Lakota is a troll, but posting a silly picture doesn't seem really offensive. It's just a silly pic...

Indeed. If it was any regular person there would probably be a dozen other charges a motivated prosecutor could add on as well. That's why I'm all for Lonegan calling out the stupidity for what it was and highlighting how absurd some of our gun laws can be.

I think the "cheapness" of the stunt depends on how far he takes it. I definitely agree with you that Lonegan's video is a stunt, but in my opinion he's doing it to highlight/mock the absurdity of the dog and pony show that Menendez put on. The Menendez stunt was true theater and he even had the Sheriff make an appearance with scripted lines. He's in the state with the toughest gun regulations in the nation and he's holding a press conference as if he's doing something meaningful. He should be embarassed. Political f**Kery at its finest. In my opinion Lonegan is calling him out on the absurdity. Menendez didn't even realize that he was running afoul of existing gun laws...WHILE HE'S TALKING ABOUT MAKING MORE GUN LAWS! Kind of like the news anchor who held up a 30 round magazine to show what an illegal magazine looked like. (And yes, I do believe that an average person without a FID card could have been arrested and charged for handling an AR in a situation like that). You can tell by his demeanor that Lonegan is being a bit tongue in cheek about things, so I doubt he'll go any further once the prosecutor (probably) blows him off, but I'm ALL FOR him highlighting the hypocrisy and absurdity of Menendez' gun position.

Not sure if this has been shared here, but Steve Lonegan posted a video breaking Bob Menendez' balls regarding Bob's handling of an AR during a PR stunt: Long and short of it is that Lonegan is calling Menendez out for being a hypocrite and violating NJ gun law by handling a firearm (Menendez doesn't have a FID). Lonegan tried to file a complaint with the Essex County College police (where the PR event took place) so he's now going to the Essex county Prosecutor directly to have Menendez charged. Nothing will happen, but kudos to Lonegan for pushing the issue.

Yeah, this gun is quickly becoming one of my favorites, so I can't imagine parting with it anytime soon, so I doubt if I'll go through the hassle of sending it back. It still boggles my mind a bit that they would prefer to go through the time and expense of paying for the gun to go back and forth and to potentially replace the frame when I simply wanted a letter confirming that I had a 686!!

I recently picked up a lightly used S&W 686 revolver with a 2 1/2 in barrel. The pistol is 3 years old and has less than 200 rounds through it. I'm VERY happy with the price, condition, and performance of the gun. While cleaning it last night I noticed that the model number listed under the serial number was 386-6. Google told me that the 386 has a black finish and aluminum frame, but the 686 I have is a heavy, shiny stainless revolver so there was a problem somewhere. I called S&W and the rep looked up my serial number and validated that I had a 686 that was made in 2015 and the 386-6 was a mis-stamp from the factory. Sounded reasonable to me so I asked if he could send me a letter or e-mail confirming what I have just in case I decide to sell one day. "Nope, sorry. We don't do that. You can contact the S&W historical foundation and pay them $85 and they'll send you a confirmation letter, but we don't do that." If I was contacting them out of idle curiosity I might understand charging for the confirmation letter (though not $85) but the only reason I wanted this was because of the mistake. My rep contacted a supervisor and the supervisor said that they would send me a FedEx shipping tag and that I could return the gun so they could "fix the problem". That would either be fixing the stamp or replacing the frame and giving me a new serial number. I explained that this would be overkill and that in the event of a new serial number I'd need to go through the permitting, NICS, and FFL process, so it wasn't a reasonable option, but they wouldn't budge at all. Does that seem kind of stupid to anyone other than me??? All I want is the information the rep is reading to me on the screen he sees. Serial XXXXXXX is a model 686 manufactured on XX/XX/2015. Instead they want to boil the ocean. I'm about 99.9% certain I'm not sending it back (or paying $85 for the letter), but is there any compelling reason why I should?

Might be able to order WalMart online and have them sent to your store if they don't normally stock them: https://www.walmart.com/ip/White-Flyer-Biodegradable-Targets-Orange-90pk/16767630

This.

Yes, I've done all the standard things like clearing cache, using different browsers, rebooting, etc. I'm in front of the computer for work for the bulk of the day and this website it the only one with performance issues. I only mention it because this happened a few months ago and began to impact everyone, so I just wanted to start this as a heads-up so the site owner could get in front of it.
