Hey thanks a lot man^^ Thats really cool of you. Im really researching a lot, as I want to make an informed decision. Im thinking about going to the PA Gun Show January 30th. I think maybe there I can hold a lot of 9mms, and see whats comfortable to me.

heres my first gun purchase. picked it up last year. kimber ultra CDP II. i love it

My main handgun is a CZ 75 P-01. I love the gun, but it could use a little better sights. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice, it's a littel smaller than I would like, but my ex was supposed to shoot it, so it had to be smaller. Were I to buy a CZ now, I would get the SP-01. It's a little bigger than mine, and would fit better.
I have had ZERO problems with mine thus far. Probably have 1500 rounds through it. I fired a nice Kimber .45 this weekend, but I didn't like the grips, they had a really pointy section at the bottom, where the loop attaches, and it kept digging into my palm. Better grips and it would be a nice firing gun. Low recoil for a .45.

Take a look at the Smith and Wesson M&P line, nicely ergonomic and nice shooters as well.

Yea S&W M&P line has some good guns. I kind of wish I would have went with some of them but I kind of like the black and stainless look of mine.

Sig Sauer makes a good gun also though they do run a bit high in price. I have a Sig P229 in .357sig and is by far my favorite pistol round. I also have a Glock 27 which was my first pistol and still my carry pistol to this day. So I support your Glock decision as well. :wink:

Yea ide really be looking to spend...$500 or close to it.

Daily carry Witness P Compact 10mm and my New Dress up carry Kimber Custom II 45apc

i wish we could carry in nj

why can't you? permits are available.. i believe it's just a longer wait than PA, they are more strict.

Jersey hasn't given a carry permit to a non law enforcement / job required officer in over 15 years. However you can try to get a federal permit, just cot a whole hell of a lot of time.

And those grips don't dig into your palm? That corner with the hole was poking me something fierce. Did not like.
A nice set of rubber grips and I would love the Kimbers though.

Looking to get these grips

they claim they are available but they never actually give them out. the requirements are ridiculous. the only way you might be able to get one if your not in law enforcement is if you make HUGE cash deposits on a daily basis in a ****ty area or if you have previously been assaulted/mugged/robbed and the courts and doctors have deemed it appropriate for your safety.

exactly. i didnt know about the federal permit though

there's no such thing as a federal permit

if you want to carry a gun your only options are to become a cop or move

wow.. i didnt realize it was that hard in NJ, unreal.

thats what gives it the nickname "new germany"

Headed to the range this weekend to try out the Winchester. 30-30 shells are pretty big apparently. :)

Anybody going to The Gun Show at the expo center this weekend? Any feedback on it if youve gone before?
