If NJFG opens on time at 9am Saturday and can process my paper work before I have to go to work for 10:15 I can finally pick up my new baby XDM45 5.25 in bi-tone.. They've been holding on to my order for what feels like an eternity (maybe like a week and a half!!!) Between my work schedule and Dicks ammo sale last week I had to put off picking it up but no more, my hand shakes with the anticipation of familiarizing itself with a new grip. I haven't shot in 2.5-3 weeks! I'm having withdraw, will probably be at Bullet Hole Monday or Tuesday.. really wish I could be shooting outside tho :-( probably be applying to join Oldbridge in November, I need some shooting buddies who actually own their own guns. Anyone else have the XDM45 5.25? And now thanks to this site I'm probably gonna pick up the 9mm version now that I know I can get it in New Jersey if I order it through Paul.

Congratulations on the new gun, and knock that shaky hand crap, won't help your shooting...

 

There are a few things going on at OB this weekend, I know USPSA is Sunday and I just might be able to make that but the gate will be open to at least come by and check the place, just bring Eyes and Ears, also if you have the equipment and do shoot, no reason you can't try that new gun out in a match.

If I get out of the DMV at a good time I might join you over there just to take a look at the store

Unfortunately I'm working this Sunday morning, off next Sunday tho! And then plan to maybe shoot steel if I get the rest of my magazines in time. Really looking forward to it.

Yup Steel at OB on the Sunday Nov 6th, what I like about that match on the 1st and 3rd Sundays is first they are Steel, and second they are either rimfire or center-fire, and I shot both my P22 and CZ 75TS the last match.

 

I am hoping to shoot my new GSG1911 and CZ on the 6th , that is if my GSG comes in and I can get mags in time, the ones I ordered went on back order after they should have shipped.

Harry, if the mags don't show up you can borrow mine. I won't be able to shoot that day.

Jon I really appreciate that, I'll keep you posted.

Nice to meet you today, man

Yeah man it was cool seeing you there, guess this forum community is pretty tight.. pretty cool.. Also bout shooting 1st Sunday Novemeber unfortunately my boss told me I can't have the weekend off, but I did get a text message and will be going on a free cruise during that week so it's still a win, Celebrity Silhouette 2 night Inaugural, free food and drinks unlimited for 2 nights.. its not shooting but I'll take it.. Pics of the gun to come soon, Just got out of work and smell like Jose Tejas.

put 150 rounds through her today, had to adjust the sights a little and still adjusting to the larger grip and polymer feel of the gun.. worlds apart from a 1911 and my 380, both steel and single stack.. I like it but gonna definitely have to spend more time figuring out exactly where to hold.

Very very nice!

just received my 3 extra mags and mag pouch from the gear up program bringing me to 6 mags (woot), and ordered some X-treme grips for this slippery fugg.. post pics when I install em.

Can you pm me with the price you paid for that. Looking at xd. 45

Saw one at the shop today. Will be buying one once they get back to me with LE pricing. Also found I don't have to wait 30 days for handguns unless it is a .22,.25, or a .32

don't have to wait 30 days?

???

very nice again, but please clean the gun. =P

Apparently as a police officer I am exempt from the 30 day rule with the exception of those three calibers

Not true, ask Lisa at Caso's Joe. Make sure you clear this up or you'll fail the NICS check.

That's who told me about it ray. I had no idea before she mentioned it

Of course, I always keep my guns clean, but I really like the way it looks with the burns so I took the pics before cleaning.

That is very disappointing, and not far at all. Guess that's the price we pay in this state.

Anyone else have the XDM45 5.25?

 

My brand new one is sitting in PK90's safe, waiting for my 30 day wait between purchases to expire in a couple of weeks.

Looking forward to having a bullseye quality XD45 (I already have a 'few' of the non-M models.)

Sounds like some confusion on the part of your gun shop. I can see DUTY weapons being exempt, and perhaps in an extreme stretch, off-duty weapons. PD's typically have "approved calibers" that LEOs can carry on and off duty, so it sounds like that's where this info may have come from. Keep in mind though, that NICS is denying those who do not have exemptions on file, and occupation has nothing to do with a NICS check. Good luck, and let us know if you get more info on this. I would be interested in hearing a disposition on it.

I am curious as well. I have no idea about this. Seems to me I should just buy another one to see if it works. All they can say is no.

The only OGAM exemption for LE is for firearms used in their official capacity. Here is the statute (under 2C:58-3)...

 

i. Restriction on number of firearms person may purchase. Only one handgun shall be purchased or delivered on each permit and no more than one handgun shall be purchased within any 30-day period, but this limitation shall not apply to:

 

(1) a federal, State or local law enforcement officer or agency purchasing handguns for use by officers in the actual performance of their law enforcement duties;

 

...and I believe that in order to document that they need something on PD letterhead signed by the CLEO. Have no idea where they got that riduculous stuff about restricted calibers.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

 

 

I have no idea either. Any firearm for my can be used in an official capacity technically as an off duty. As far as the letterhead again no clue. All this does is make me want to try and see what happens
