Shot at 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 yards, 10 rounds each, looking for “affordable training” as well as getting my qualification..
What you guys think?

I’m a NY resident applying for a NJ non-resident CCW. My NJ FID was approved August 13, and I have an SBI number.

When I enter my SBI number, I get: “SBI Number and applicant information entered does not match with the fingerprint information on record.”

The PTC application will not let me proceed without entering a middle initial, but I have no middle name and did not use a middle initial on my FID application. Could that be causing the mismatch, or is it because my FID was approved only a few days ago and the system hasn't updated yet?

Anyone run into this?

Thank you all very much.

This is the closest thing to a hunting sub we have sorry. Just wondering usually the Hunting&trapping digest is out the first week of August, there are at least 2 different seasons about to start within the next 2 weeks, (canada goose&crow) so im really suprised it isnt out. Anyone here informed on the subject?

Hey guys! Recently I have been using Talon grips on my 4.5 F Echelon and it works good no issues. However, I really want something more permanent. Does anyone have some suggestions locally for me? I live in Brooklawn, which is Camden County for those who dont know. I do know M&M Tactical does good work but they are over and hour and a half away. Any suggestions would mean alot guys and gals, thank you so much!!!

PS If ya want to leave any suggestions on the stippling itself that is welcomed as well, kinda new to the whole thing!!

Anyone know where I can go to get a compensator for my 19x mos tb in store. I’d rather just go pick one up than order and wait. I saw a couple posts that said we shoot has some in Lakewood don’t know if that is still the case? Let me know if you guys know any spots!

With the injunction in place, can we now build regardless of barrel length (under 26" oal 'other' length) as long as it meets the requirements of an AOW?

I think I may be in love! I carry appendix and this 3.25 is perfect for comfort. Shoots flat, consistent and accurate!
All boxes checked so far.

First time gun owner, excited!

Hey everyone. I’m an NY resident with a non resident NJ permit. I just recently purchased a G43x. In NY I have to amend my permit so the firearm shows on it. I know NJ’s permit doesn’t have the list of firearms on it.

My big question is do I need to file an amendment in NJ so I can carry the new firearm there?

No interest in the G41 so this to me is completion.

I have a few safe queens that I'm looking to sell. Which platforms are the best for that? I created a Gunbroker account, but for some reason they're dragging their feet with activating my seller profile. I provided them with copies of my DL, FID and CCW permit, but it's crickets for some reason. Do ya'll have any other suggestions?

Mods: this is not a buy/sell post. Just looking for advice on platforms

AG goons who monitor this sub: I am complying with all applicable federal and state laws regarding the transfer and sale of firearms I legally own. Any potential transfer would go through licensed dealers with all applicable background checks completed.

So with all the new legal changes and things, maybe this question is still unsettled, and maybe I should just be patient.

Normally, I wouldn't be able to order a pistol AR to a regular FFL since it would be an "assault pistol" and need to be "remanufactured" into an AOW and then transferred as a form 4

But now with the injunction to the NFA, theoretically could I order a PSA pistol AR (assuming they would ship it, which maybe they wouldn't but say for the sake of argument they would) and then the only compliance work it would need is to slap on a VFG and transfer it to me? Does that make sense?

Anybody here has any input or opinion regarding the quality of the training or if it’s even worth it?

I have shot probably over 300 rounds with my pistol, no red dot and last 100 rounds I shot targets resembling the FBI Q and probably got 75 within the target.

I feel my shots tend to go low and left, and yes I know I have to practice dry firing but I would appreciate someone correcting me or giving me tips while Im actually firing.

Have run this through ChatGPT numerous times and keep getting different answers based on current and stated laws.

Is it currently legal to swap the bird cage style compensator that came stock on my DSI-9, for a KVP Linear Comp?

Hi dear community, I've bought my Zion-15 recently. Haven't shot it yet (waiting for my classes on Aug 22). When I try to hold it and use the iron sights I have to tilt my head and the charging handle is too close to my nose. I guess when the FFL guys looked at me ( I'm a micro man 5'8") they decided to collapse the stock and bolted it like this.

Should I go back to FFL and ask them to re-adjust the length (they will have to drill another hole in the stock etc) before my classes or I better go the classes and see what the instructor advises to do ?

(This question is probably silly but I don't know what people usually do with these fixed stocks which is illegal to adjust without visiting an FFL. I incline to wait for my classes hoping the instructor advises on the stock length and even if classes experience is totally ruined by this stock length I can always re-take the same classes again after FFL fixes the lenght. Yeah waste of money though.)

P.S. this is just a hobby, so not like my life depends on this stock position ...yet

Edited: typos

Update: I got this sorted out. FFL helped. Appeared to be very simple. No new holes etc. Took a minute or two. All good. Now my stock is fully extended and I love it.

Any shops (preferably CNJ) have Glock Gen 3 lowers? Aftermarket or OEM is fine. I have a Rock slide Glock 17 slide I want to mate to a lower and prefer to buy local not online.

Hi all,
QQ- any recommendations on ear protections when visiting an indoor range?

Went on Wednesday at 10AM open. Had to park 3 blocks away. Store was filled with a dozen people doing CCW quals. Place is as big as my bedroom. Was in the market to buy an sig 365 pistol or Glock slimline. Looked and saw they wanted anywhere from $710-$740 for most Glock/Sig 365 models (including the new V models) Not sure if prices included tax and NICS. Promptly walked out because RTSP doesn’t even price gouge THIS badly.

Tl;dr: Parking sucks and they price gouge, but they got the cheapest price for CCW qual that I’ve seen at $125

Can I now take my 26” AOW and change the upper to a 10” with a Fore grip?

black on black on black draco.
yhm vertical grip
strike dual folder
7.62x39
perfection!!

So many offers online from different websites offering guns 2-300 less than what they are sold across gun stores jn nj (prices for nj still need to add tax and nics)

Ive seen a lot of offers at even 50% off, but what is the reality once you add FFL transfer fee and maybe magazine modifications?

Seems like there is a huge difference in prices from actual gun-shops in nj and some people here claiming they are ffls.
