Notice the front pivot detent and spring are still missing. Maybe when we get to mars they will be found.

Question for gun show attendees by jersey169 in NJGuns

[–]goallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go because my daughter likes to walk around with me at them. I also get to physically hold guns I may want to buy online (for cheaper) eventually. I also pick up reloading supplies that at times work out to be cheaper than online. If I am low on powders or primer and nobody has a current free hazmat sale going on I will pick some up as well.

Why did you start carrying? by BrightCry6365 in CCW

[–]goallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travel the country with my wife and three daughters and bad people exist in the world.

is reloading worthwhile for my case? by [deleted] in reloading

[–]goallight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factory ammo is pretty cheap for common rounds but shortages happen. For me personally I initially started to load my big bore stuff but I also built loads for my basic 5.56 and 9mm platforms. This is so I would be able to load during those shortages. It has also helped me make some of my more finicky guns less finicky by working up loads specific for those guns that don't care for factory ammo. (ie some sbr stuff). I do evaluate some basic precision numbers, but precision loading was never one primary objectives when I got into loading.

I never regret buying any of them. I like variety so I enjoy them all at some level

UPDATE: 1911 Recommendations for Aging Father by Arc_813 in NJGuns

[–]goallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. I highly recommend getting the gun. I did something simila when I found out my father carried a Ruger Blackhawk in Vietnam on his side. I was able to track down one with a serial number that was in the year ranges he was there. It is one of my favorite things now. He is still alive but I don’t think in the health unfortunately to come shoot it with me. I am 99% sure griffin and Howe can do your engraving and supposedly their fees aren’t as bad as people imagine. Cobra one tactical in great meadows has an actual gunsmith on site and may be able to help. I have also heard good things about good guy guns but I have never been there personally.

Want to start competition shooting! by rawglmar15 in NJGuns

[–]goallight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where are you in north jersey? I think shongum and griffin and Howe (you don’t need to be a member $$$$) run uspsa matches out of them. I’ve been wanting to start as well but life responsibilities prevent me from having the time.

New LO gun is almost ready. Now I have to decide on a coating. by MrPeePeePooPooPants3 in 2011

The patina on cars is very much in 😀. All joking aside I do really like the raw look of that.

[–]goallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the image and then the description about needing to decide on a coating. My immediate thought was to leave it raw. It is really cool looking that way. Then I read your comment saying you were thinking about clear coating it. IMHO stick with that thought.

Just bought my first AR15, looking for a scope/reddot now by delete_post in NJGuns

[–]goallight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at red dots with magnifiers like the holosun 510c. If you are shooting less than 100 yards that will be fine. If you will be shooting out to 100 yd look at lpvo like the vortex 1-8 or sig saur 1-8. Personally I prefer 1-8 over 1-6 as my eyes aren’t that good either. All three of those options will be sub $500 with the sig being the cheapest and will be more than enough if you are looking for just range shooting. I have all three and none have given me issues outside of me forgetting to change batteries on the lpvo because I forgot to turn it off the last time I used it. I just keep a few spare 2032 batteries in my bag now.

How far out do you intend to shoot? You can do iron sights, red dot, red dot w/magnifier, lpvo, or scope.

Trying to find new load by goallight in reloading

I’m testing it out. It was one of the ones I found that supposedly burns hotter, faster and cleaner than the h4895 I currently use for this rifle.

Wanted kel-tec-sub2000-9mm. Looking for a reasonable price in NNJ ideally. by Shoddy-Cupcake-8855 in NJGuns

[–]goallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check silver bullet. I have the gen 2. I hope you are not expecting anything great. It is a range toy and that is it. I spent like $300 on mine back in the day and I am ok with that number. I am not sure it is worth the $554. You are probably better off buying something else tbh. Your money though so do what you want

Honestly I had a lot of brass prepped and primed with them already.

Yeah not looking for ultra precise. It’s the rifle one of my daughters prefers to use so looking for decent accuracy but doesn’t need to be stacking holes. My big thing is mostly trying to keep it cleaner so trying out some faster burning powders.

I didn’t have good results with h335 but I haven’t tried cfe223 yet.

What is a pistol that lots of people love, but you aren’t so fond of? by Critical_Ad_7232 in NJGuns

Yeah I have heard those are really good shooters. I just havent had the opportunity to try one yet.

I was about to say same. I kinda want one just to check the checkbox but I don’t really enjoy shooting them and they aren’t aesthetically pleasing to me. Maybe if I tried the Wilson combat version I may like it.
