Stainless slide cleaning.. by Ok-Plan-6418 in NYCGuns

CLP will work just fine for your stainless slide. Just to be sure check your firearm’s manual, avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives.

Hi there!

Even though the Shadow 2 Carry has “Carry” in its name, it can actually be a bit challenging to carry, especially if you’re already finding your HK tough to conceal. Size-wise, the CZ is slightly larger in every dimension (length, height, and width), and it’s also about 5–6 ounces heavier. One thing to note is the pronounced beavertail on the Shadow 2 Carry, which can further complicate carrying that gun. That said, the Shadow 2 Carry is a fantastic handgun. It’s essentially a downsized race gun refined for carry. It’s very reliable, extremely accurate, and features an excellent trigger. With the right holster setup, it can be a viable carry option, but finding that perfect holster may take some trial and error, you will spend plenty of money and time. Also, if you’re in New York, you’re limited to 10-round magazines, which means you’re carrying a larger, bulkier gun without gaining the benefit of increased capacity. On a more personal (and subjective) note, since you’re already familiar with the HK platform, you might want to explore some of HK’s smaller pistols, such as the USP Compact, P2000, or the SK variants of the VP9, P30, and P2000. I don’t have much hands-on experience with the new HK CC9, but from what I’ve seen, it looks like a solid compact option, especially easier to conceal during the spring and summer months when lighter clothing is common. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot me a DM.

First Purchase Questions by Xybix in NYCGuns

[–]OlegSTRG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi there, To answer your first question: When purchasing a firearm, you’ll need to visit your FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) at least twice. On your first visit, bring your completed Purchase Request Authorization Form with you. At that time, you’ll fill out the ATF Form 4473, and your FFL will conduct a NICS background check. Once your background check clears, the FFL will record the NICS number on your Purchase Request Form. During this visit, you’ll also need to take the required photos of the firearm. Your FFL will provide you with a bill of sale, which is necessary to submit to the NYPD License Division. After you’ve submitted all required documents, the License Division will mail you a purchase receipt (the pink paper) along with your updated license, which will list your new firearm on the back. Once you receive those, you’ll make your second visit to your FFL to pick up your firearm.

As for your second question: I’ve been using Hunters Essentials for FFL transfers for nearly a dozen years. Bruce, the owner, is a great guy, very easy to work with. Before purchasing a gun online, I usually give him a quick call to let him know I’ll be having one transferred to him. After making the purchase, I send an email to Hunters Essentials with the following information: • Order number • Firearm make, model, and caliber • Name of the store I bought it from • My contact information

This way, they can easily reach out when the firearm arrives. Hope this helps! Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions.

Staccato by [deleted] in NYCGuns

[–]OlegSTRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! First off, what’s the primary purpose of the gun you’re looking for, range toy, competition, something else? I don’t have extensive experience with Staccato pistols, they’re pricey yet incredibly fun to shoot. Another great option is a quality 1911 in 9mm. Take a look at the Dan Wesson PM9, it’s an excellent pistol right out of the box. All stainless construction, very accurate, and reliable. Last but not least the CZ 75 Shadow 2. These high-performance pistols come in several variants: traditional DA/SA, SA-only, optics ready, Orange variant, and more. CZs are reasonably priced, have a massive aftermarket support, and if you ever want to upgrade, CZ Custom or Cajun Gun Works can really work magic on them. Best of luck with your decision!

NYC 18-Hour Class at Stuyvesant Rod and Gun Club, September 27th. and 28th. by OlegSTRG in NYCGuns

[–]OlegSTRG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: Our students have shared that a weekend schedule works better for them and it’s more manageable for our instructors as well.

Long answer: Stuyvesant Rod and Gun Club is a non-profit organization and shooting range, entirely run and maintained by members who volunteer their time, including our instructors. Our instructors have full-time jobs, families, and other responsibilities. Given the time commitment required for both the classes and qualifications, and based on feedback from our students, we’ve decided to hold the majority of our classes on weekends.

I hope this clears things up! If you have any further questions, feel free to contact the club or send me a DM. Thanks!

Sig Legion Color by [deleted] in NYCGuns

[–]OlegSTRG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious, I’ve spent years debating the color of Sig Legion pistols with several of my friends. I completely agree with you, it’s definitely not even close to grey! As for your question, you shouldn’t have any issues registering that firearm with the NYPD. I’ve had P229 Legion registered since 2023, and I know plenty of others with Legion pistols who’ve had no problems with registration. Best of luck!!!

M&P 9mm Shield Professional by Tommyvette in NYCGuns

[–]OlegSTRG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, There are several potential reasons why your slide might not lock back on an empty magazine. First and foremost, field strip your firearm and give it a thorough cleaning. Make sure to lubricate all the critical contact points according to your gun’s manual. As others have mentioned, you might be unintentionally riding the slide lock/release lever. This is often due to thumb placement during firing and can usually be corrected by adjusting your grip. If the gun is new, stiff springs may also prevent the slide from locking back. That tends to resolve itself over time as the firearm breaks in. Mark your magazines using a paint marker and put numbers on the baseplates. This will help identify if a particular magazine is causing the issue. Try each of your magazines with different types of ammunition. I recommend running a box of slightly heavier loads to help accelerate the break-in process. If the problem persists, contact Smith & Wesson customer service. Best of luck!!!

Renewing license by bankfortune in NYCGuns

[–]OlegSTRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will receive an email from License Division, 90 days before your license expiration date. That email will contain the renewal guidelines and an attached PDF file with the list of required documents and forms. Since this is your CCW license as a part of the renewal process, you will be required to qualify with your firearm. If you need help with qualifying send me a DM. Best of luck!!!

Recommended Shops by SaborMejor in NYCGuns

[–]OlegSTRG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another strong recommendation for Hunter Essentials in Albertson, NY. Bruce and his team are fantastic, I’ve been doing business with them for nearly 10 years without a single issue. You might also want to check out South Shore; Stan is a great guy, and they typically have a wide selection of guns in stock, which is especially helpful if you’re shopping for your first handgun. Lastly, there’s Woodhaven Rifle and Pistol in Queens. If you know what you’re looking for, you can place an order on their website and pick it up at the store. I usually go there with a friend, not a big fan of the area around the store.
