;D ;D ;D I put a deposit down and have now joined the vast majority of you guys who are waiting on your new R9 to arrive. :) ;D :) Any thoughts on holsters?
-
Congratulations! Be patient........

I ordered and received a holster from RJ Hedley, (who is a member of this forum), and I like it very much. Inside the pants holster which will work in Vermont but will stay home in NJ.
It's a little weird but I have the holster before I have the gun.

PCA,
That is the normal life of the Rohrbaugh wait.. 8)

PCA, you convinced RJ to make an inside the pants holster? :o
-
Brenden,
W rules and thank you for your advice which I know to be true.
Duane,
I didn't convince RJ of anything; I just ordered the holster and my perception is that it is an inside the pants holster.
It is made such that a right handed person, placing it in a right front pocket, would have the "public side" of the gun outline hidden from view.
Please bear in mind that I have no reference point nor is there any opportunity in NJ for me to really know what I'm talking about, given the fact that there is no Shall Issue CCW in this state.
I defer to the maker, RJ to comment as necessary.

It's a Pocket holster, PCA is from NJ and they speak funny you know... :)
-
RJ,
Good One, but I still don't get the humor even though it is at my expense.
NJ gun owners are not used to references to holsters and you will have to speak to the criminals.
Bad guys are the only people who carry in NJ, besides LEO, and they love gun laws.
-
PCA,
Not meaning to leave you in the dark...
"Inside the pants" holster is a common term for what is also referred to (perhaps more commonly) as an "inside the waistband" or "IWB" holster -- i.e., one that attaches to the belt but is worn inside the waistband of one's pants.
The holster you ordered is just a "pocket holster." The reason for my comment is that RJ has been asked in the past to do IWB or belt style holsters and has generally refused -- preferring to focus on pocket holsters. When you described the holster the way you did -- it confused me as to what you were getting, thats all.
Now I understand, and all is right with the world. ;)
-
Duane,
I thank you and apologize for my density. However, all is not right with the world. What we have to do is remove New Jersey from the world and everything will be okay.
Give me 5 minutes head start and I'll head for paradise, aka, Pennsylvania 8)

I am happy to say that I am FROM New Jersey...
Should we open a separate discussion area for NJ bashing? :D
-
Duane,
No, we should create an entire new website for NJ bashing. How much do I owe?
-
Gator, the operative word is, "From."
-
I just had a nephew immigrate recently from the Republic of New Jersey.. ;)
He is from Michigan and back to Michigan he came.. ;D

NJ is a beautiful state with nice beaches, easy access to the City, mountains, and hell the southern most part is south of the Mason Dixon line. Of course as PCA says if you want to own a gun you need to train with the circus for the amount of hoops you need to jump through.
-
I was born and breed in NJ for nearly forty years. When I seriously wanted to expand my gun collection, I moved across the river and now reside in PA -- just as nice as NJ in most respects ... a little nicer in SOME respects and a little less nice in other respects but over-all a very nice place to live.
-
Everyone,
I'm back from 4 days in paradise, aka, Vermont. Thank you for your comments regarding NJ. And I haven't even gotten to the auto insurance issues in this awful state.
-
If you can, get NJ Manufacturers (auto insurance). Cheapest up there.
-
PCA, It seems that if one wants to be able to do what they want to do and have little or no problems in NJ they need to be in politics. Welcome back! Tom

Hi folks. I was about to order an R9 the week before last, but the local dealer wanted $950 up front. I'm thinking about it.
Meanwhile, even though I'm from Virginia, I know that there're parts of Jersey that are great. For instance, there's the Cowtown Rodeo. It's in its 51st year. www.njsouth.com/index-cowtown.htm

John, I thought Cowtown is Fort Worth, Texas I sent you a PM Tom
-
Cowtown is a place where they have rodeo, which is not common in NJ since the state past time is committing felonies and locking up gunowners who try to protect themselves.
Former Senator Torricelli walks free. Former governor MacGreevey walks free.
NJ Manufacturers auto insurance is difficult to get because there is a waiting list. Anyone want to pay $2000.00 per year with zero points on their license? Welcome to NJ, where the politicians have their pocket lines by insurance companies and mobsters.
Just yesterday, five politicians arrested after an FBI sting. Mayors of towns and local officials. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDE IF YOU GET TO PURCHASE A GUN.

Iam from Louisiana, if you don't have a pistol in your pocket, law enforcement is required to provide you with one.

P.S. Of course, you must be at least 15 years old.

Kerry, When the SHOT SHOW was last in New Orleans, some friends went to get some catalogs out of my truck, 3 kids stuck guns in their face and took all of their money, my truck keys, and then told them to kneel on the sidewalk. One of them hit the bad kids arm and took off running and yelling call the police. I came running out with my .45. Then the cops showed up and we showed the cops our carry permits. The cops asked what the permits were because no one can carry in New Orleans. We informed them about the agreement between the states. They said it was against the city law to carry in New Orleans. However, they advised all to have a gun in their car while in town because it was so bad, they thought in gun in the car was the same as one in the house. When the cops caught the kids after totaling my truck, the grand jury let them go. Because of all the problems to show folks the SHOT will never come back to New Orleans. Tom
-
Tom, you're correct N.O. police are very tough. I'm a police commander and never had a problem in New Orleans. The good news is that Louisiana has the most liberal gun laws in the country. Sorry you had a bad experience down here.
Kerry
-
Kerry, We had no problem with the police at all. Just the young kids with guns. NOPD had been after them for months. Then the grand jury kicks them free after several armed robberies. Several workers at the SHOT SHOW at the conv.,ctr had problems. Gives one a good reason to carry all the time. Tom

New Jersey would have arrested the gun owners. The kids who committed the crime could have sued the gun owners who held them at gunpoint and WON. I am very serious. Prosecutors in NJ are 10 times more likely to go after gunowners than criminals.
Want more? A gun owner fired a shotgun into the air, on his own property, because his rural house was violated by a black bear (Sussex County for those of you keeping score) and the man was arrested for discharging a firearm within city limits.
Did it matter to the prosecutor that the man had small children in the house? No. Did it matter to the prosecutor that the man fired into the air in order to save the life of the bear as well as his children? No.
The man was charged, plea bargained and was fined $5000.00. Do not know if it was a misdemeanor or felony but it happened.

PCA, You are only safe if you line their pockets! It just seems like things are 180 degrees off. When you do move hand pick a firearms friendly state without state income tax. Tom
-
Tom, the courts have long been a problem. They only see the trash after its been washed, groomed, and placed in a new K-mart suit. Lethal injection "phooey", how about deep fat frying in the window of Popeye's Fried Chicken. Shake your head if you agree.
Kerry
-
Kerry, Yes, I am nodding. But not Popeye's, it will ruin the mud puppies! Tom

Tom & Kerry:
Thank you for the laughter and kind words. I will move to Vermont after my commitment to my father terminates.
