124 gr subsonic? 

Anyways,  :stopjack:

I haven't dealt with them directly, but seems like online reviews were decent.  I was looking them up as well when I was searching for .22 lr recently and they had some decent availability.  Didn't end up ordering from them since I found better deals and better ammo elsewhere.

If your buddy does go through them, have him report back.  I'm interested.

Sorry I misread my friends question. It’s not 124gr, just subsonic

I have a buddy on the mainland who’s looking into buying a case of 124gr subsonic 9mm ammo he can run through his quiet stick. He’s a little skeptical about buying until he finds out if it’s legit business or not. Has anyone dealt with them before or know anyone who has bought from them in the past? Thanks.

Do you have any information on options for obtaining your cleared PTA via methods other than physical pickup?
Thanks.

According to sources, sometime after the new year, permits will be able to be emailed directly to a gun store once it is approved, but right now physical pick-up is your only option

General Discussion / Re: Carry Conceal - What would you do?
« on: November 08, 2021, 03:06:25 PM »
Open carry would be nice in the sense that sometimes having to hide something can be tedious and annoying. But personally I feel it defeats the purpose but should absolutely be a right just as conceal carry should be. I’d only carry concealed because I wouldn’t want to attract too much attention to myself, but that’s my thought on it. Would probably carry full size concealed as a truck gun and compact for traveling, and full size on my person when traveling in familiar areas

Fauci is a POS who sold himself and his country out to make a quick dollar and recognition from the government and should be held every bit as legally accountable as he can be.

Last I heard the NJ dummocrat won in a last minute tally (sounds familiar) 🤔

Nope, Gov and LtGov officers are elected Republican now 😬😏

Sorry to high jack, but everyone I talked to about getting into reloading mentions to read/buy the book.  And then they show me the book if I'm at their place or send pic of the book.

In today's day and age, can't the info be found online?  Or direct on the powder makers website?

No worries, that’s a good idea. Gotta be in digital format somewhere

I have experience with those I listed  above for .223.  I have my go-to loads, H335 for 62 grain, and WIN 748 for 55 grain.  Not saying these are the absolute best, but its what I've used and developed a load for.

Off the top of my head, CFE223 and Varget seem to be able to achieve higher velocities than a lot of the other powders (Lee Manual).

I've used UNIQUE powder for 9mm 124gn.  I heard good things about CFE Pistol.

On youtube, Johnny's Reloading Bench is one of my go-to's for watching load development, powder choice, and testing results.

Okay, thank you. I’ll keep watching YouTube and reading up on reloading

I saw your post/reply in the classifieds.  I'll dig into by stuff and see what I can spare.  A friend gave me some reloading stuff that he picked up in an estate sale, but it mostly old (crappy) stuff and weird calibers. 

That said, recommend adding a reloading manual to your list.  Actually, recommend picking one up now and starting to read while you gear up.

Thank you. If you find anything please let me know

I saw a Lee 3 turret press on FB marketplace a few days ago.

I suggest at a minimum to get on the waitlist from Security Equipment for the appropriate small rifle/small pistol primers and any powder you may want to use  ( i.e. H335, CFE223, WIN748, etc.)

What would be a good powder to reload 9mm and 5.56? There’s so many to choose from

Hey guys, I’m looking for 9mm/5.56 reloading equipment and/ or supplies. Just wondering if anyone has some basic reloading equipment they don’t want or aren’t using anymore? Doesn’t need to be new or shiny.

Currently I have no equipment. Of course looking to acquire over time since I only get paid once a month.

Please let me know if anyone would be willing to part with anything.

I’d love to get into it and it’s a skill I’ve always wanted to learn. 

Thanks guys

Doing long gun.  I recall in the past that had to fill those out at HPD, but when I got my rifle permit, they told others coming in that they can take the forms, fill out, and bring it back.  They didn't allow that before, or at least that I recall.

They allow it now, which makes a lot more sense considering that they don’t have to spend as much time if more people come with their forms and paperwork prepared. Also, it must depend on the person taking your paperwork because I’ve filled out several applications in blue ink and they didn’t care nor did they ask me to redo them

im trying to get them to ship one but it comes with a 15 round mag they don’t want to send trying to work with them to see if they can ship with no mag

Should most definitely be able to ship here, but FFL would have to retain mags and dispose of them or have them permanently modded to hold only 10rds. Totally up to seller and their policies though 😔

Watched the livestream on YouTube from lawyer/ 2A advocate @ArmedScholar where he played the court’s arguments real time. Was awesome. Even though it was like 0500 here when it started. HOWEVER, the obvious anti-gun Justices were pretty quiet except when NYSRPA argued for the case, and when the NY representatives argued, the pro-2A Justices were all over them, asking tons of questions, making them stumble, and the lady who was arguing against the case got shut down and it was obvious she had no fire or ammunition left for her side of the case. Defense against for State of NY was solid but didn’t seem to impress them. Let’s hope the Court does the right thing and helps us get our rights back and kickstart a myriad of other cases to follow allowing others states to change their laws and policies, including our state.

Will have to register a rifle soon, so checking on what's the latest.

From the HPD website (same as before, but figured I would verify):

Then:

For the "required firearm information", it should all be on the paperwork (ATF 4473), assuming purchase from LGS or from FFL transfer.  I recall reading need to fill out the permit application (same as before).  I was kinda hoping you could just hand then that form and they could enter the info into the system. . . maybe  ;D

Are they allowing printing and filling out of forms ahead of time?  A while back, I printed out and filled out forms ahead of time, only to have to fill out the permit application when I got there.  Again, that was a while back and when the form was on the multi-page/copy format (like carbon copy).

Yes, all forms you need are online and you can print and fill them out ahead of time to save yourself some time and annoyance from HPD. You only need to fill out another “permit application” if you’re bringing a firearm to register from out of state. That’s what they made me do. Otherwise my other guns I registered were just as simple as them checking the SN#s and then having me sign the registrations. You’ll need the “Firearm Information Form” as it’s called on their site. No cost, and pretty quick to register if it’s from in state

Congratulations to the state of Virginia and New Jersey for taking back the office of governor by electing Republicans. Also, good luck and wonderful job electing a LtGov in Virginia that is a black, female, Republican, pro-2A lady! 

This is the progress we need and HOPEFULLY America is starting to wake up and see the disaster that is the current POTUS.

This is the evening before oral arguments on Nov. 3. 2021. NPR broadcast an interview with Jennifer Mascia  and Prof. Darrell Miller.

https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2021/11/02/supreme-court-rifle-big-gun-case-and-what-it-means-for-u-s-gun-law

The audio recording (47:22) is lengthy and contains more information than the short transcript. The extreme libertarian interpretation of the 2nd Amendment can theoretically be stretched to:

1. Allow mental defectives to bear arms.
2. Allow blind people to bear arms.
3. Remove ban on handguns aboard an airplane.
4. Permit those accused of a crime (but not convicted, yet) to carry weapons inside a court of law.

This is what you get when you treat the right to bear arms as absolute. Scalia's claim that common sense does not give individuals the right to possess any weapon in the universe. Wrong, Antonin. The forefathers' language is logically flawed, not anticipating the expansion in the meaning and scope of arms. Let's see what Judge Thomas does with the case. Balls to the walls worship of the second amendment should allow armed citizens to bear arms at speeches of politicians and rulers. To hell with Edward III.

Such a massive overturning of laws/ policies toward guns would be extremely ballsy, yet welcomed with open arms
