I used my 625-3 for my LEOSA qualification shoot today. Kept everything in the 10 ring; it shoots nice. Added benefit was that brass cleanup took 3 seconds. Now I have my concealed carry gun for the “progressive” states who restrict onboard ammo. I am glad I can carry hollow points in NJ as well.
Did I shoot next to you with my 2" Model 15?

Be glad to message you specifically but read HR218 aka LEOSA. Yo have to adhere to the local laws and restrictions. Magazine capacities, bullet type as in NJ. I have been carrying country wide since 2013 and have adopted a single stack 9 with an extra Mag of hardball for that purpose.

You are partially correct....a retired LEO under LEOSA can carry a firearm and ammunition, even if those types of firearms and ammunition are banned in the state, as long as they are allowed under FEDERAL LAW. However, the magazine capacity limitations of a State are not exempted by this law. This is the same information I received from our General Counsel.

From Fraternal Order of Police web site:
Can I carry any type of firearm or ammunition under this law?
No. The exemption provided under this Federal law applies to the carriage of concealed firearms only. The definition of “firearm” in this statute specifically excludes machine guns, silencers, explosives or other destructive devices as these terms are defined in Federal law.

However, the Federal law does extend the exemption to allow the carriage of ammunition “not expressly prohibited by Federal law or subject to the provisions of the National Firearms Act.” This means that qualified active and retired law enforcement officers may carry ammunition in States which may have prohibited the possession of certain ammunition by persons not actively serving in law enforcement within that State.

Am I also exempt from State laws prohibiting the possession or use of “high capacity” magazines?

No. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has ruled that State and local laws and regulations applying to magazines do apply and the exemption provided by LEOSA applies only to firearms and ammunition.



So as you can see, a retired LEO, carrying under LEOSA, can carry hollow-point ammunition in States that ban it for private citizens. So when you enter NJ you don't have to carry FMJ any more.

Spring is here and while I look at your nice new wheelgun I have to think of one very fat bumblebee.
Seems like a nice fistful!

For being a bumblebee it has quite a sting. The recoil is very mild compared to my 3" 657 .41 magnum. I am carrying it in a Milt Sparks PMK.
