You can apply to have those permits extended out an additional 90 days if you can't get what you want in that time frame, so don't settle. Yu can always buy from an out of state shop and do an FFL transfer which is often cheaper anyway.

if you are going to spray I would definitely go the BBQ or engine enamel route. Powder coating is another option to consider on metal parts.

If you covered the grips in zebra pattern fabric it would look better than those....yikes. Kinda looks like a blind monkey with no hands painted them.

I have not seen the S&W M&P in person yet. Though I just checked it out on their site. Looks interesting, I'll have to see if I can find one. The all SS slide and barrel is interesting.

Thanks a lot ArmedBear. That was precisely the kind of analytical side-by-side no b/s comparison I was looking for. My brother is pushing me to try out a HK45, so I'll hold one of those and see how it feels. But the safety on the XD will probably draw me back unless the HK feels perfect.

The reason I specifically mentioned the XD45 and the 1911 is that they're the two that I've held (read: fondled) that felt like an extension of my hand. The glock, Taurus 24/7, berretas I held just didn't fit quite right. Unfortunately no one around here seems to rent firearms, that's why I came...

Yeah, yeah...details. I recently purchased a Mossberg 930 (nice simple home security model) for any "ideal" tactical situations that may occur in our home. Which would be a confrontation down stairs, or after the entire family has been secured in one room and we're bunkered down. The wife is...

As I live in the People's Republic of New Jermeny CC is not an option, so leave any thoughts of dual purpose at the door...there is no such thing here. And given the restriction to 15 round magazines here in NJ there really is no need to compromise on caliber for the sake of higher capacity. I...

Sadly, that sounds like my father-in-law. He's got a 38 special...the bulk of the gun is in the night stand drawer; however, the cylinder & ejector/crane assembly are in the bedroom closet & the ammo is in the guest bedroom. Yeah, I know. Smart-ass comment completely unnecessary on my...

Any more answers from those with small children? My son is moving out of his crib into a "big boy" bed soon and this is a big concern.

I think the biggest way in which the NRA fails is the manner in which it presents it's arguments. They blast the media for sensationalizing gun violence and crimes (rightfully so), but then they turn around and twist, take out of context, and exaggerate the position of our opponents. The only...

To those suggesting the XD(m) over the XD...not an option here in The People's Republic of New Jermeny. 15 round magazine limit

XD Tactical .45 ACP

Now I'm sure I'll get blasted for this, but I think the whole concept of a pink gun (especially one with hello kitty on the grip) fuels the fire of the anti-gun crowd. What better ammo could you possibly give them for kids potentially mistaking real guns for toys? A pink gun just seems kind of...

Thanks for the welcome gents. From all my reading I've pretty well determined that a shotgun is by and far my best bet. I live in a townhome (penetration concern), work long hours (limited train time), and I work nights which means my wife will be home alone most of the time so she needs to be...

I was rasied by one of these people, so I think I have a good perspective. The short and simple answer is cowardess. The are scared of and detest all things they deem violent and/or dangerous. These people won't defend themselves angainst any threat and think others shouldn't either, because...

To learn and gain confidence. I want to be able to defend my home and family, but know nothing about firearms and know no experienced shooters.

Hi. I'm a complete newb to guns...period. I have a new family on the way and would like to be able to protect them and my property. Unfortunately everyone I know is a gun hater. So in surfing the web looking for information I found THR. And from what I have read the past few days it seems this...
