    I don't think so. Did you fill out the application, buy a gun and have an appointment.

    Westchester pistol permit

    Good Luck! I remember when I went for my interview at Westchester County for a Pistol Permit many moons ago. I told the detective not to worry. I'm an Italian Boy from the Bronx. Weapon of choice is a Baseball Bat ! That's when times were different, he laughed.

    @togmaster, If covid-19 is less of a threat and we don't have to wear masks at Sig I may see you on the line there. I already attended Sig's Red Dot Fundamentals class with Dhillon almost 2 years ago. That's about the same time I last shot and trained with OFT. I need to get back into shooting...

    Discussion: Storing ammo in gun safe with guns

    Not a good idea. As said before it takes up too much space plus it adds a lot of weight to the safe depending on where the safe if located, eg. (2nd Fl.). Better off in a locked ammo can or a locked cabinet in a dark area at room temperature. I prefer plastic or wood over metal for these...

    Westchester pistol permit

    When I applied for my permit It was a 2 year wait. 1 year for the appointment and 1 year for the permit. I didn't want to take any chances so I bought a Ruger Mark III (22) and applied for a target permit. I received it in 3 months from the time of the interview. That was unheard of at the time.

    Westchester pistol permit

    @Chevusa Glock 17 has a longer sight radius which aids in accuracy. Glock 17 weighs more which helps with recoil management. Glock 17 hurts more if you have to rack the slide in his eye socket.

    If you don't like Glocks get a Sig Sauer P320. They are comparable to Glocks but have a slightly higher bore axis. They are also available with night sights. I would stay away from the bigger calibers to start. Master 1 gun and 1 caliber before you move on...

    I went to Hunter Sports in Massapequa 2 weeks ago. I know Mark and he is a very good friend of my brother. At that time he had 30 Glock 19's in stock. His website does not represent his actual inventory. https://www.huntersports.com/

    Westchester pistol permit

    @ikilledkenney, I would go with 1 at time. I don't think you will get the permit if you include the sales receipts for 3 guns with your permit application. Did you do the class with Ben like you said you were?

    Westchester pistol permit

    @ikilledkenny Glock 19 Gen 5 is a little more compact. It's the Chevy of handguns, not expensive and gets the job done. This is what the NYPD and YPD use to name a few. If you go with a Glock 19 Gen 5 make sure you get the latest one with front serration and no moon cutout on the grip. It also...

    Glock Gen5 - Glock Knuckle

    Glock Knuckle affects two different types of hands: those with thick fingers and those with long fingers. Both types of problem are a consequence of the low bore axis of the Glock pistols, the use of plastic as a frame and trigger guard material and how Glock have chosen to design round the...

    AmeriGlo Bold or Agent

    @Chevusa, I have the AmeriGlo Bold night sights on 2 of my Glocks. They have a square edge that you can use to rack the slide but not sharp enough to cut you or your shirt. https://store.teamglock.com/gun-parts/slide-parts/sights-tools/glock-bold-sights-by-ameriglo-pkg.html

    Taking a trip to Blue Mountain

    Technically you have a carry permit so if you had a holster you could carry it CONCEALED to the range. Since you are a newbie and a little worried I would carry it unloaded in a locked box out of your reach. The lock box could be the box the gun came in or a soft case. The ammo could be carried...

They now ask if you have someone in the car as they must sign in with you because they want to know everyone who goes down to the ranges. I would...

    Taking a trip to Blue Mountain

    @Emkay44, the pistol range is $11 an hour if you don't have a Westchester park pass. You can stay as long as you like as long as no-one is waiting. Target changes are about every half hour, they supply you with an NRA B-8 type target. If you have any of your own you can put them up over theirs.

    Most of you guys missed the point. I'm talking about "Natural Point Of Aim" @Podmonkey, while gripping the gun in an unorthodox way you are taking the time to line up the sights. @Acer-m14, closing an eye just shifts the focus of the sights right or left. These things have nothing to do with...
