Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm really having a tough time figuring out my new Kel Tec P11.

They have a reputation for needing a lot of "fluff and buff" before being ready for carry.

I've put 50 rounds through it and had 2 misfeeds, which apparantly goes away after break in.

Someone suggested I field strip it and buff and polish the feed ramp with a dremel, which I did last night. Haven't gotten to test it yet.

I've put some Militec 1 grease on the slide rails as well as breach and that helped a lot with the stiffness.

I'm not sold yet on this 9mm, although several people recommended it as the lightest and smallest possible concealed weapon. Might just sacrifice the weight issue and stick with my trusty old 357 magnum....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Get a S&W J-Frame .38spl + p. It allows for a faster followup shot compared to the 357 magnum. :)

I don't think I'm in this thread yet....

Few images worth posting...

Very nice Jordan! :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thankyou :)

I have a few deep seated issues I know :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I bought a P3AT as a back up carry and I polished the feedramp with a dremel and so ultra fine polishing compound I also worked some slip 2000 EWL oil into the slide rails and have not had any feed issues since. I have about 750 or so rounds through it. I don't shoot this much as it is my back up(as if my HK would ever fail).:ss

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Jordan,

Is that IWB holster comfortable with the two straps?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yes.

It's a Milt Sparks VM2. Probably one of the best holsters I've found. Period.

They're hand made and take about 6 to 10 months to get once you order though :(

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I finally shot my new Beretta 92FS Stainless today, and I love it. Even my wife was able to put 20 rounds center mass from 15 yards. What a great gun.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

my 229 i've ran her about 10000rds (mix of factory and reloads) without a hiccup and 6000 of those were without cleaning.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sounds like most of Ratters guns! :r:r:r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Quoted for truth!! :r

At least he cleaned the Hämmerli before he sold it to me.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That is great to hear! It is good to know your wife can be your backup! ;)

Awesome! Thank you!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I finally got a call from the NJSP and my purchasers permit is ready for me to pick up!!! Now the hard question...what should I buy? lol

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hey I resemble those remarks. :ss

Can't coddle your guns too much, they won't respect you. ;)

That is BS how you have to get a permit first to buy a gun. Get a Glock 20 10mm. They are extremely fun.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very nice! I love the Sig with the wood grips. :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice.

I posted mine earlier in the thread, but I have a remington 1100 on order and an ar15 lower on order as well.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Lotta Sig owners here. Those are the Rolls Royces of handguns in my opinion.

I was at the range yesterday and it seems the economy has brought a good amount of them in for resale or something.

I'm trying to resist, but they are just so darn nice.....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

It looks like everyone is stocking up on guns :D For those that don't know, the 4473 form is the form you fill out when you purchase a gun. It is used to run the background check on you.

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/010609at...age-notice.htm

January 6, 2009


Notice to All Federal Firearms Licensees
Regarding ATF Form 4473 Shortage

As a result of an unprecedented increase in demand for ATF Forms 4473 (5300.9) Part I Revised August 2008, inventory of the form at the ATF Distribution Center is running low.

As a temporary measure, ATF is allowing FFLs to photocopy the form 4473 in it’s entirety until they receive their orders from the ATF Distribution Center.

A notice will be posted at the expiration of this temporary authorized change.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The processing on the CCW is apparantly backlogged to almost 4 monts as well...

After a month with my new Kel Tec P11, I found that you need to be an amatuer gunsmith as out of the box, they aren't ready.

I had to polish and dremel the feed ramp and do a fluff and buff inside, smoothing the rail and breechface as there were several burrs and rough spots.

The accessories are on and I put the mag extender, trigger shoe, and the belt clip is the best.

With the belt clip, there is no holster needed and the gun is no more intrusive than a Blackberry and I hardley know it's there...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I cant buy a handgun in Jersey till Im 21 and need to apply for another permit :fl


So its either a shotgun or rifle. Probably an AR

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Go with an AR! :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thats what Im thinkin right now. Just checking the laws here in this god forsaken gun law state it says no bushmaster assault rifles. Now does this mean a full auto rifle or just that style and/or brand


http://www.njguns.com/define.htm
(there is a list towards the bottom)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I 3rd the AR. I am about to start building one myself. Should have the lower here next week and then it is research time on www.ar15.com to figure out what else i want to use.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I am not sure. Assault rifle is a bulls--t term. Assault rifle means that the rifle is fully automatic. A semi-automatic rifle is not an assualt rifle. I would register over on AR15 and ask the guys in the NJ hometown forum. I would hate living in NJ. Good luck sir!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Which lower did you buy?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r That is a good one!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

anvil arms made by cmmg

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

any idea how you're going to set it up?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

nope. I am an AR15 virgin and am in the middle of a long research gathering expedition on ar15.com

any help or recommendations are always welcome

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks!! Since I couldnt edit my post, those are

Maverick88 (basically a budget version of the Mossberg 500, shoots great!)
Bersa Thunder 380 Duo-Tone (Great concealed small gun)
Sig P220 (vintage 1997, best vintage I think, folded steel slide shoots like a dream)
Sig P250 (love this thing. For all the bad press, its the best trigger I've owned. Just wish sig would hurry up with the subcompact conversions)



I just call them EBR's... evil black rifles... :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

i can see how you can use everything on there :D,

ummmm but what is with the feathery thing on the stock? :hm :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The feathery thing on the stock is used to alleviate the pain in your cheek as you look thru all 30 scopes, sights and other various sighting implements. That or it got caught in the persons disco suit cause the shiny ball was broken and they needed lights

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r That is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen! :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

you talking upper or lower??

if you are meaning lower, already have another one or two on order.
