New Jersey is technically May Issue, but in practice, the only people who get permits are retired cops. Then I moved half an hour west to PA, and they'll give them to anyone. The trouble is, none of the states that border PA have reciprocity except for West Virginia, so I can't go far.

Haven't got out to the range so I won't comment on the trigger yet.
I'll post pics in the gun purchases thread since that makes more sense.

Went to an awesome range in Van Nuys this morning and test fired both the 92FS and P228. Decided to go with the 92. Going to my local gun shop tomorrow to check out pricing. :-)

Are you going to get the one with the rails or not?

Haven't decided... Going to see what I can find. Ideally, with the rails.

Well it isn't like the P228 is found everywhere. It's actually rare for some reason

That's because they don't MAKE the 228 anymore. As soon as the 229 came out, poof, the 228 was no longer being made. The 228 frame couldn't take the pressures of the .40 round. So they changed the materials and made the P229, which was also offered in .357 SIG AND .40 S&W.

Yes, I know. Sarcasm doesn't carry well into text. Maybe I should of added smiley faces and winks.

I run into the same problem. When I'm laughing heartily, sometimes I look back at the post and think "hmmm" kinda sounds like I'm angry when I'm not. MOST of the time I'm laughing or snickering during posts. There's something to be said for going overboard with the 'typing in the most neutral style possible' in order to not imply emotions or motivations that were not present during the post. :D

Hey guys, just a quick question.
Firstly I've never handle any semi auto pistol in my life, just the m16 and mp5 mostly, so bear with me.....

Assuming a 1911 has no magazine and the slide stop is hooked to the slide:
some press down the slide stop after inserting a magazine to chamber a round,
while others rack the slide back and release to chamber a round.

is this purely self preference or are there reasons behind each one?

like example, me being in the law enforcement reserves, our hk mp5 instructors
always told us to cock, hook, reload and release. instead of reload and cock.
they claim it increases the chance of feeding malfunction.
