Nice!

Beretta 92F?
13 in the magazine, 1 in the pipe?

Of course a Ferrari lover has to get an Italian handgun LOL.

I have got to apply man, I've been talking about doing this since the freakin '80s LOL.

No not the 92F, the 92 is an older model and only comes in 9mm x 21.

This is the 90-Two, replacement for the 96 40S&W

Alas in NJ you can only buy it with a 10round clip... But it came with two clips! lol

Yes Im Ferrari lover... but it does say "Beretta USA" on the bottom fo the slide if that makes you feel better. LOL

Nice! I don't think I will ever have over 20. But I would like a long range rifle in the future. Preferably a 7.62mm

not really...

took about 7 weeks to get the ID card and pistol purchase license (which only lasts 90 days) went to gun store, they did not have it so I had to order it. Waited about 1.5 weeks. They sent me a post card saying it was in. Cam in, filled out about 5 forms, payed, went home with a gun. LOL

Argh, only 10? I though they still allowed 13 or 14 rounds? Damn.
I would be torn between a Browning Hi Power 9mm or maybe the old tried and true Colt .45 1911.

Not bad, back in the day it could take 4-6 months in NJ.
And no doctor's note/approval needed? I think they used to require that years ago as well.

According to Beretta the F,G,D models are 9mm x 21... even says that in the Manual that came with the 90-Two lol

Guy at Ray's told me 10 max

Since its my first I have not shot much... but I have shot my friends guns and everytime I go to Indy they have a gun store that will let you rent just about anything and shoot in the range in the back

I have a few weapons myself. I currently have a .338 WinMag(OUCH) bolt action, WWII Russian Army Sniper Rifle with scope, 80's era 30-30 Winchester lever action, 90's era Browning BAR Mark II Semi-Auto 30-06 with Bosch & Lomb scope (Killed a bunch of deer), Remington Ithaca Semi-Auto 12 Gauge, Colt Buntline .22 caliber with both cylinders (shot a bunch of Coon's)..60's-70's arena. Actually my favorite is the Russian sniper rifle, hits bullseye's at 300 yards and seems to have equilevant power to my Browning. The .338 is just a complete animal especially with the ballistic tips. The first time I shot it after trading my .454 Casull for it, it had a 4x old school Redfield scope and bled me twice out of 8 shots on the bridge of my nose. I took that scope off put a limb saver on it and a long eye relief scope on it.

9mm luger is 9x19. They use the 9x21 in Europe where civilians are not allowed to use military ammo. The 10 round mags may be because they don't make 15 round magazines for the 90-two.

My dads xd9 full size comes with 17 rounds but he could only get 10's because they stopped production of the 15 round ones.

My Glock 19 has 15, my MP 40 has 15, my dads px4 is 14+1. If you look up the laws its 15.

Were they grandfathered in or is it still currently 15 (14+1) for new purchases?

I like Berettas. I bought a PX4 in 9mm a while back for the girlfriend to learn on. It seems that .357s, .44s and .45s are a little too much for a beginner, especially girls with small hands. Too bad that was all that I owned at the time. My first hand gun was also a .40 cal, but I bought a springfield XD. Now I have a pile of hand guns, from a .22 Browning to a .50 Desert Eagle.

Regarding a 7.62 rifle, I've had my eye on a Romanian AK for a few weeks now. It's on sale this week for $569 at my local gun shop. I might go pick it up this weekend.

(I hate to bitch, but they're called mags or magazines, not clips. It's kinda like saying "naws" instead of nitrous. While most people will know what you mean, it just kinda makes it obvious that you're a gun newbie. Not being a know-it-all, just trying to inform.)
