Also interesting is that I don't see any limit in the official terms, anybody find otherwise? ***FYI / EDIT: A response from Walther on another forum says there is NO Limit *** I'm good with one, but might be a multiple bonus option for others. See some great GunBuyer.com deals here: https://www.gunbuyer.com/walther-ppq-pps.html

Passing along some great promotion news from Walther Arms I came across on the Walther forums. Pictures are not mine, just re-posting so not sure what magazine they came from. http://www.waltherforums.com/forum/walther-general-discussions/79770-100-walther-rebate-june-1st.html $100 rebate applies to the PPQ & PPS product lines (Q5 Match Excluded) purchased from June 1st, 2017 to September 15th, 2017. Promo site not yet functional as of 5/28 but here it is: http://www.waltherarms.com/Rebate100

I found this site http://www.handgunsaferesearch.com/ pretty interesting when I started to research everything firearms related, specifically lockboxes and pistol safes. The guy that runs the site shows the major flaws in many common safes as a way to kinda bash the industry and specifically CA DOJ approval process. Anyways check out, I basically made my decision because of it. I don't even have a gun yet (Walther PPQ 5" in the works ) but ordered my safe today actually, the Vaultek VT20, because they were the ONLY company that took this guys criticism and discovered flaws and quickly revised and upgraded their safes to make them better. You can find great video reviews of the Vaultek's on Youtube by several of the big firearms/shooting sites as well. FYI if you buy directly from Vaultek as I did there is a discount code "greenlight10" for 10% through the end of June 2017. https://vaulteksafe.com/ Good Luck!

Sounds like fun! I plan on being there with my son who's 5-year old.

BUMP for 2-weeks left

Sure, if that's what we call standard FID size. Lamination only overhangs maybe 1/16". Pretty lame for an important document in 2017, should at LEAST be a imprinted card w/ picture... I mean even Costco has them haha

Just had my FID laminated at Staples - Trimmed to fit wallet. In hindsight should have trimmed to CC size first...

1. Application Type: Initial FID + Pistol Permit 2. Police Department: Raritan Township (Hunterdon County) 3.

Website says $30 + $15 - Can you confirm? See Here

Still love the gun? I'm in a similar debate as you on a nice 5" range gun..... see my thread HERE if you have any new insight to add. Thanks!

S&W M&P9 Pro (Model 178048) Walther PPQ M2 5" (Model 279609)

Thanks for the input all, and you're right about keeping my options open. The Springfield politics are the least of my concern really, I just want a good full-size range gun. The Pros that really drew me to the XD Mod.2 Tactical in order of importance was Price, Features, Reviews, Promo & Aesthetic Options (Black/SS). Honestly I've had other 5" guns in mind and under research including the S&W M&P9 Pro (Model 178048) and the Walther PPQ M2 9mm 5" (Model 279609). Both of these are a bit more money ($75-100) than the XD Mod.2, but with that seems to come a bit more refinement and quality. Out of all three guns the Walther PPQ has some big advantages/Pros: Proven Quality, Reliability and Accuracy Amazing Trigger Capacity out of the box w/ 15-Round Mags (2) Interchangeable Backstraps (3) (M&P9 Pro same) Moulded/Contoured Grip Most Compact 5" Gun - 8.1" Overall Length Lightest 5" Gun- 26oz. Looks the Best! My Cons for the PPQ: Cost Plastic 3-Dot Sights Right now I feel like just calling it a day, scratching up the extra cash and settling on the Walther PPQ M2 (and change the sights later) as I don't think anyone would disagree is an all around GREAT 9mm gun. Always did like it, I just told myself I wanted to keep my 1st gun UNDER $500. But damn that 5" PPQ has some unique killer looks with the drilled ports (cosmetic & weight saving) on the front of the slide! PPQ M2 Product Page

So now that I got the drama of my 9-week wait for my FID + PP out of the way it's research and 1st gun time! The #1 on my list right now is the Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 5" Tactical model in 9mm. Anybody own or have shot one? Obviously this will only be a range non-carry gun, so I think it would make a good start to the hobby. Would love to hear personal feedback as my opinion and direction so far is based on online pro reviews as well as YouTube videos. Here's the official product page: CLICK HERE Prices online are in the $500 range, available in all black or SS slide, 9mm 10-rd mags for the NJ compliant versions. Model numbers are XDG9401B (Black) XDG9401S (Stainless). Currently through the Springfield Promo you can get 4 Free Mags / Double Mag Pouch & Holster with ANY Springfield 9mm, 40S&W or 45ACP purchase. Promo Details: HERE Anyways just putting feelers out there...Thanks Guys!

Soooo today was the day, 5/11/17! Got the call that my FID & PP are ready for pickup. Not sure if it was a coincidence that I just bugged them 3-days ago but either way... 9-weeks to the day start to finish. Side note: They never contacted my references or my employer by mail or phone. Kinda silly thing anyway, why would you put down someone who would not recommend you? Anyways, done and done...

I'll be keeping this info handy. Thanks!

For anyone who might be interested... I completed a survey from CTC yesterday and was given a 30% off code good through June 1st 2017. It doesn't seem to be a one-time use, so have at it! Promo Code: SURVEY30CTC17 *Screenshot of Offer Attached Enjoy!

Not sure, haven't shot any yet.... But all the pro/blog reviews are great, shoots clean and cooler than FMJ so I don't mind paying a premium over the cheap stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anybody have recent FID/PP experiences in Flemington / Raritan Township? (Hunterdon County) My saga so far w/ Initial FID + One Pistol Permit Application: 3/9/17 - Submitted Application and $7 Check to PD 3/16/17 - Got Fingerprinted by MorphTrust 4/7/17 - Called for 4-week Update (Officer Not Available / Call back Monday 4/10) 4/10/17 - Spoke to LEO Campbell, said they were still waiting for my mental health form to come back, but everything else was in order. 4/12/17 - $7 check was deposited by PD. 5/8/17 - After emailing the PD Sergeant Camporeale I received the following response from Officer Campbell, "... It has been quite a busy year with other residents coming in and applying for FID cards and handgun permits. We did finish your background check and we did receive all of the necessary paperwork, we just need to type your documents then we will contact you. Each individual that applies with our department receives an ID number, once the background checks are clear, our Office Manager types all the necessary firearms documents up and will contact you when they are ready." Going on 8+ weeks now, but feel like I'm getting closer!
