I thought everything was legal in New Jersey.

I know there are haters out there for this particular series due to the fanboy nature of the marketing surrounding it, but for anyone out there who hasn't tried them yet, the SIG Sauer Legion series is more than hype.

The P226 Legion in 9mm is probably the finest pistol I've ever shot or owned. The work they've done on the trigger and ergonomics of the controls are second to none.

lmfao hell no. You're technically supposed to have a firearm license to own airsoft guns. No carry at all unless you can prove you NEED to carry (and they'll decide if you have a legit reason to carry. My friend who was military police for 4 years doesn't qualify for carry.)

I'd love a P226

Is it tempting because of the looks or because of the way it fires? Revolvers are one of the most reliable handguns you can get, so I wouldn't worry about the Taurus messing up during normal shooting.

The best advice (as always) is to shoot as many different models and makes as you can. The answer to which one is best for you becomes much easier after that. I used to think I really wanted a particular gun (based on looks and reviews mostly) and then when I actually shot it, I found that it didn't really work for my grip and shooting style. Hands on practice and range time are always going to be the best indicators of what works for you.

I guess it's changed since Aaron Burr was packing.

Yup. Not allowed to own more than three pistols, you need to give two references for each one you get. You can get as many rifles as you want though.

It's way too big for CC but my 9mm Walther P-4 (based on P-38) has been very reliable on the range for me. I've shot over 1500 rounds through it without any problems. Easy to break down, clean, re-assemble. I don't think it's in production any longer but they made a LOT of them for police/military use so you should be able to find a used one in great shape.

I have no regrets. I was able to find mine on a local forum and got a pretty good deal on it. (MSRP is roughly $1400... I got mine for under a grand)

Walther is a solid company. I carry a P99. If I wanted to go thinner, there's always the PPS. Good, reliable pieces all around. I may have to pick up a P4 at some point... just haven't seen any around here lately.

I bought my dad a WWII P38 several years back and it still shoots great. We had it out on Father's day and he made short work of the X ring with it. :excited:
