Welcome 

Welcome from Tampa Bay, Florida, from a former NJ'ian who spent his "Wonder Bread" years growing up in Glen Ridge!

Welcome to the forums

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm about a half hour or so from Bloomfield and can get you whatever you need.

 

 

Welcome !

Welcome, both fantastic options! I love my CZs (all 3!) and just got a VP9 Tactical last week. Still waiting on permits that I applied for months ago...

I've used Luciano's in Lodi in the past. Nice guy with fair prices. I also like to use Ocean Armory (but he's in South Jersey. I'm down there often enough, though) for my online orders since his transfers are just $10 and Mike is just a fantastic guy.

If you have any questions about CZ, let me know. Happy to help!

Welcome.  Have you contacted PD to inquire if all.your paperwork is in order?  You've been waiting 2.5 months which will soon turn in to three months.  Do they have your two personal referrals back?

10/24/17- application submitted. the lady said it would take 1-2months to finish

11/28/17- called bureau records. the lady said all the paperwork was sent to the detective on 11/14/17 and that he has to do the investigation.

 

i emailed the  capt of the detective dept to check on my status since its almost 2 months on 12/15 but he never replied. then i emailed the detective handling my case on 12/19/17 day to check on my status but he never replied. however,  both of my references were later contacted that day(coincidence? i think not). i called the detective's office # maybe 3x that week and he never answered; i just wanted to know how many more weeks til i get the permit.

finally got a call back the week after,  and i have to say the guy is a huge dick/douche . yelling at me because i was emailing both the captain and him(which i never got a reply or callback).  saying that "its suspicious that you're eager to get this guns. im gonna call homeland security. why do you need 3 pistol permits? only gun collectors get this many." he also said something about he has 90 days of processing the application even though the lady said 1-2 months.  so that was the first call i had with the detective.he got pissed because i wanted him to do his job haha.

i feel like his gonna prolong my application if i call him again so here i am still waiting

Welcome. That's sounds like NJ.

Definitely definitely check out a CZ 75. I like decocker so I prefer my SP-01 Tactical. An unbelievable shooter for under $600. I’ve yet to come across anyone who got one and didn’t like it.

For striker fired I’d recommend a VP9. You can get an LE version with night sights and a 3rd mag for under $600 as well. Fantastic ergos, but some don’t like the paddle mag release.

3rd? I dunno, another CZ? Lol maybe a compact! But if you want real variety, I’d get a .357 revolver, specifically a Smith & Wesson 66 or 686 or a Ruger GP100.

These 3 would give you an amazing collection.

also, FYI, the best prices can usually be found online. I use the Reddit gundeals page here for all my deals: https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/

good luck!

My town is 6-7 months. I have filed for permits 4 times all the same wait. I grew up in town I live and I know the firearms officer personally (went to school with his wife). Each time I file for 3 as do most people. Some file for 6. After 4 months I start pestering. Twice it was worth it because it probably would have taken 9 months if I didn't.

 

 

If going .357 check out the Ruger Sixes. One just sold on the forum for $325 and this one on gunbroker for $416. Both Security Six 6" models. Prices have come down on them like most collectors firearms.

Welcome...

It took my Local PD 2 or 3 weeks after I did my fingerprints, for my FID. Mind you, I live in a major city here in NJ so that was a bit shocking.  I wonder if it comes back even faster now that I have an FID? 

I applied for two permits yesterday, so we'll see how fast they get back. The lady at the desk said its about 30 days but maybe less.. I want a VP9 as well, and a Ruger Mark4 to win matches. (lol) The CZ SP01 is a very very nice pistol. You've already made some good choices! Good luck. 

Shooting my .45 hurts my wallet so thats why I am choosing two other calibers.  

 

Be patient! Good things come to those who wait...

 

I think.

Is the cz 75 better than the p10? Hopefully they got 15 round mags.

Im planning to get the vp9 for my 2nd. How effective are the night sights? 

Im just gonna rent some revolvers to get a feel for it. Dont wanna accidentally hit my face because of the recoil.

Im just jealous of those people that get their permits in under a month. You sure have a lot of patience to wait that long.

Nice and looks new, what intervals do you clean guns, every 1000 rounds?

Also random question, can i bring loaded magazines on a separate bag for transport or does it have to be empty.

Ok, a lot to unwrap here lol. I’ll do my best...

The CZ 75 And P10c aren’t comparable since the former is a DA/SA hammer fired while the latter is striker fired (like glocks). There have been some early adoption issues with the P10 since they just came out a few months ago. They’re great guns, I’d just hold off a bit. I’d stick to a 75 variant (again, mine is the SP-01 Tactical). It comes standard with 18 round mags but there’s a 10 round version too. The place I bought from agreed to send the 18 rounders to my FFL once he sent them in writing that he’d pin the mags to 15. It’s not illegal for a NJ FFL to receive noncompliant mags. You can even sell them and buy 15 round MecGar mags. Those are by far the best aftermarket mags (they’re the oem for Sig and CZ).

 

I cant answer you about The VP9 night sights since it’s still at my FFL. Permits only came in this week (applied 2 months ago).

You can clean em as often as you want lol. They’re duty weapons- meant to get filthy! Having said that, i wouldn’t go beyond like 2-3K rounds without cleaning.

Finally, DO NOT travel with loaded magazines. It’s a no go in NJ. Don’t do it!!

please let me know if you have any more questions!
