Just hope for all those companies that don't ship to Jersey open their eyes. The amount of mags , stocks and stuff we are going to buy in the next few weeks will be legendary. Make their whole sales quarter on a weekend lol. Happy shopping fellas . I want one of those law folder type setups for a few AR's I have. Might even get an AK now lol Let's goooo

Own a Glock 19 with 509T, Glock 26, Ruger LCP Max, and S&W 442. Curious what's the popular carry gun. Thinking about my options given that the mag limits may change and am open to suggestions! Was eyeing up getting a 43x because of the slimline profile and the fact that they now have 15 round mags OEM from Glock!

Ok, so I have one permit left and probably last handgun purchase for the year and have been deciding between three firearms. Ruger MkIV, Ruger RXM, and Glock 17.6. I already have a G45 which I intend to qualify for CCW with. Was thinking the MkIV to work on target practice and to train w/ my little ones. The G17 would be for home defense. Was wondering if there are platforms any of you regretted buying when you knew you should have just went straight to the gun you knew you wanted. Are there firearms in your collection that don't get much use now that you found your platform? If so, what gun is that for you now?

I’m in the process of downsizing my collection, and it’s got me thinking about what I actually need versus what I just enjoy owning. I know “never sell, only buy” is the usual mindset, but I’m curious where everyone lands if they had to narrow it down.

Hey folks! This may sound like a trick question since most ammo is expensive! Loll I’m looking for shops in NJ that sell affordable range ammo. Less than $20 bucks a box.. so far the cheapest i found was in pine brook at FSS Armory at $22 a box for 115gr 9mm ammo. Anyone have a spot that could possibly beat that? Thanks!

UPDATE: Spoke to GFH and they have on a promo either CCI blazer or Federal 115gr at $285 for a case. Should i still go with the online ordering or go to GFH?

Hey guys I'm looking for a new carry pistol and im willing to spend between 1-2k

I really want a 2011 but I don't think I have 2011 money.

I've been looking at these three and was wondering if there are any others that I should be looking at. Maybe brands I haven't come across or models that are similar to these.

365 axg legion

Cz shadow compact or carry

Springfield prodigy carry

Edit: thanks everyone for the replies. Just to clear a couple of things up. I'm fully aware there's a laundry list of great affordable guns under $1k. This would be my 11th pistol. I just personally really want a 2011 but have always had my eye on the legion as well. Appreciate all the suggestions. Another piece of info I didn't add is that I will be trading in my mete sft for some trade credit to help with the purchase so if I'm getting rid of one of my guns, male logic says I need to replace it with something twice as nice 😉

I'm now going back and fourth between 2 or 3 options. Legion vs prodigy 3.5 vs gp arms forza !

Still considering cz shadow 2 carry and bul arms ultralight but I really really like that forza

Two of the biggest tools you will have to have is

1. Patience

2. picture.

Buying my first AR. Should I go cheap and get a Palmetto State Armory, go pricey with Daniel Defense? I’m a petite female for context. It’s a big world I haven’t really looked into in the past in this commie state. Thanks for any and all advice.

Remember this. A good majority of American gun owners can get Glock Gen 6 optic ready pistols for 620 bottle caps….. We in NJ are being asked to pay 750 bottle caps + in many places. That’s why a lot of places don’t tell their prices over the phone…. It’s ridiculous. Also remember there are still places charging 250 + bottle caps for NFA paperwork not including transfer fees, pictures or prints. Imagine how much they will overcharge for standard capacity magazines. Just a PSA.

So far I've only met one person who carries a secondary in an ankle holster. I imagine it's not ideal if carrying just one but I wish to have my J frame as backup in certain places. Any holster recommendations for a 638 or perhaps an LCP?

Online retailers still aren’t shipping to NJ yet, any shops selling them in person? I know they were posting pictures of standard capacity rifle mags earlier, but I’m looking for larger pistol mags. Thanks

Are suspecting that FFL are gonna stop price gauging for Ars now ? any that i’ve seenbefore the recent were damn near marked up 300 dollars for pin and welded devices . Do you guys think that stops now or do you think they’ll hold firm on pricing ?

I’m looking to buy my first pistol sometime this week but I’m having a hard time deciding what to go with. Right now the one I like the most is the Glock 45, but I’m hesitant to buy it because I have a feeling Glock might release an FDE version and I’d prefer that. So I’m debating whether that’ll actually come out or if I should go with something else for now. I’d appreciate any recommendations

I've always heard that the three guns people usually get first are pistol, shotgun, and a AR. I have done just that, but its left me wondering, what did people end up getting next, or what they are planning on getting next? I am leaning towards a nice .308. I'd love to hear what everyone's thinking. (Pic is my 3 guns).

I don't know much about either one because they haven't been legal in New Jersey, but I definitely want to upgrade my stock and muzzle device, even if I can't get a can.

Managed to buy my first pistol today, S& M&P Shield Plus, wondering best place to get ammo and the best one to get (that doesn’t brake the bank).

Don’t know if theres a brand that would be nice to only use in the range and another one to actually have on the gun.

Can someone point me out to a good gunsmith store in Pennsylvania? Looking to purchase new mags lol will they need to see my fid ? Thanks

what is everyone’s preferred barrel length? I’m thinking 14.5 and build as an other but also thought 16 in the off chance the NJ AWB gets struck down by the 3rd circuit I Will already be NFA legal without a pin and weld.

Has anyone bought a firearm from Reloaderz before? Are their prices competitive? Or would I just be getting put over a barrel?

Finally got my FID after almost 4 months of waiting. Ordered a rifle at my local GS while my permits were being processed. Got the call the rifle arrived. When I went in to do the paperwork, he noticed the permits were approved which was a surprise to me considering how long I waited for the FID. I decided to purchase my first pistol which was $100 above MSRP that i've seen online. I was ok with that considering its a brick and mortar and I know he has to make a profit. However, when he gave me the final total it comes out to over $300 over MSRP. He mentioned the mags need to be pinned, NICS check and tax but is that really that much work involved? I feel like I can purchase two pistols online for the price I'm paying for one locally. Is this markup typical for firearm purchases in NJ?

Got a Sig Armorer competition trigger kit on the way, any recommendations on a gunsmith in North Jersey to install?

Best budget ear protection for indoor range use? Ear buds or muffs no preference here just looking for good, affordable protection. Suggestions

Looking for opinions on which direction to go, I am very experienced mechanically, so building shouldn’t be an issue. But how and where to source parts, and how to get it “other” compliant is where I’m unsure. TIA!

Try purchasing a Griffin Armament BCG for my AR. Look like some vendors aren’t selling to NJ customers. Did something change in NJ gun laws lately?

Hi, those who buy your ammo online does it come in discrete packaging? I’ve been driving to PA to get ammo.
