Thanks Frank

The Garden State does not want you to own a pistol and have designed the process to discourage you.

I assume you have an N.J. Firearms I.D. card that allows you to possess rifles and shotguns outside your own home (I still have mine lying around somewhere.) If not you need to get one. Next - go to your local P.D. and they will get you started with the process of getting a license to own a pistol. If you aren't an LEO the process is absolutely onerous and invasive to your personal life so it helps to be patient.

Good luck!

after you have jumped thru the hoops and cleared all the hurdles, what type of pistol are you looking for?

Fullsize ?
range target type?
concealed carry? (is that allowed in NJ?)
or pocket type?


10 round mag capacity limit?

Concealed carry is legal in N.J. but there is almost ho chance of ever getting one approved. If approved only fmj ammo can be carried. Yeah I used to live there. It was hard then and its a lot harder now.

Gentleman I should have explained what I wanted to know more clearly. I am looking for a 9mm that is considered to be one of the most popular of the 9 mm pistols. The one that is one of the best to buy. Just a regular size, 10 rd mag .Something I won't regret buying.
I was shocked with the ease of getting my Firearms ID address changed to my current address. I also applied for 3 pistol permits at the same time. It only took 10 days and cost 21 dollars. Everything now in NJ is done on computer and handled by the State Police. All transactions with FFL.
Granted if you live some place were you don't have to deal with this good for you.

Sig 228, Browning Hi-Power,Colt Combat Commander,CZ75, not in any order of preference,but really you should seek out somewhere that you can handle and fire what you are interested in. Jim
