I belong to a private outdoor range in PA (it was the best, closest option to my residence), and a private indoor range in NJ - but I was also going to a commercial range in NJ (TTC in Flemington) primarily for a women's shooting group I belong to. Not only will I go to TTC once those chapter meetings resume in-person, but I intend to go to TTC on my own this summer at least a handful of times... even if it's inconvenient and even if I have to endure some wait times. Why?... Because our Governor is biased against these businesses (he's made that abundantly clear) and the easiest way we can fight back against his authoritarianism is to throw these ranges our business, and plenty of it! If not, as @SJG rightly pointed out upthread, these businesses will surely go under - giving our Governor and his minions exactly what they wanted! Can you imagine how difficult it will become to introduce new shooters to the sport if the # of ranges in this state shrinks considerably? So, you can certainly do as you wish, but I would urge you to consider making at least one visit to a NJ commercial range this month. It's bad enough this administration is overtly hostile to them... they should at least be able to count on NJ's gun-owning community to support them and to keep these facilities open for new, incoming shooters. Just my opinion!

I sometimes get Cabela's gift cards from family/friends etc for my birthdays. Well, that is no longer the case. I don't want any gift cards from them, nor do I wish to purchase anything from them. I have been buying goods from Cabela's for decades and have given them a lot of my money. It's a shame, but I will making future purchases elsewhere.

Hopefully he's "modding" it in to a CZ...

Totally fake. They didn't even bother to get a full uniform. I bet they got it at a cheap costume rental.

I gave you a funny, well.... because it is.

I have all the pistols mentioned here are a couple without mags inserted to eliminate the variables i could take other specific photos Upon request....... a few personal opinions the 365 is same grip length but undercut so allows more purchase, “feels” softer shooting to me and points & shoots fast and ridiculously accurate hitting 6” plates At 25 yards almost effortlessly 10 round mag good for jersey..... better option than the 43 43X longer grip than 365 still 10 end mag so why bother if pocket carry is your goal.....However if you plan on use out of nj...there are 15 round flush fit mags which now puts you at Glock 19 class only thinner, lighter (feeling) “slicker” Iwb..add in +5 extensions on the 2 reload mags iwb...you have the same load out as a Glock 19 with oem +1 plates and the reloads are 17 mag length.the 43x & 48 are the same frame with 48 being approximately 19 length of slide/barrel.......the 43X/48 grip width (front to back) is wider than the 365 and feels more like a bigger pistol and not like s&w bodyguard my humble opinion...if you want the best most shootable pocket pistol and be in current kingdom of nj compliance than 365 is the clear winner....if you are a “Glock guy” and want the ability to have options, are ok with moving from pocket to aiwb/iwb, have larger hands than the 43X is a great choice.... L2R 19-48-43X-43-365 Lined up with front of grip lined up same order same order 365 43 43X 19g5 43X with 15 round mag behind the 365 with 12 round mag which is essentially flush I dont have a 15 for the sig but can’t believe they are the same length as the 12 ... from memory in a store they are noticeably longer than the 12

Been going to TTC almost three years. Really nice people, clean, well vented, and reasonable prices. Having to plan a bit more for a range trip in the short term, will hopefully keep them in the picture long term.

I sent an email out last week and got zero response from them. I will be canceling my credit card with them and discontinue business. Why support a company that won't support me?

it's always my pleasure to try to help you guys out when I can. if for no other reason than putting up with my moody ass here.

I ordered the gauge yesterday. ETA tomorrow I think.

The following are my opinions only and they come from someone with much less experience than many here. Also, the only Southpaw in my family is my Mother, so I can not offer direct advise there. Some mfg are more accommodating to lefties than others. You probably already knew that though from Rifles. Do not go larger than 9mm, 22 is best, but there will be limited options there. Fondle as many as you can. Heavier guns have less felt recoil. Longer barrelled guns increase the distance between the sights which makes it easier to aim. You don't "need" a $1500 1911 as your first handgun. Budget priced guns are great to start with while you decide what features you like and dislike. Some mfg have multiple size backstraps to accommodate various hand sizes. Some handguns allow you to remove the FCU (fire control unit) and install it into a third party frame for even further accommodations and customization. Just like with Rifles, the quality of the trigger matters. Dry fire anything you're permitted to. Revolvers are still a thing and some swear by using them as a platform to learn trigger discipline. Zeke will tell you to buy a SIG.

If i were you I'd splurge and rent three. 1- RugerMark IV - 22 lr. - It's a .22 so recoil won't be an issue and you can relax and just focus on your grip and trigger pull (and work out the whole left hand thing). 2 - Glock 19 - Yes, I went there. Very vanilla 9mm semi-auto polymer pistol. There are TONS of others available, but the G19 is a good representation of the genre. 3 - S&W 686revolver - 357 mag - I'm a big fan of revolvers, and if you were to have only ONE pistol in the house for the rest of your life for home defense, this would be a great choice. If you shoot .38 Special out of it instead of .357 magnum you'll be surprised how light the recoil feels (particularly after shooting the Glock). If you're only shooting one I'd go with the Ruger. Focus on getting used to operating a pistol. You'll probably be surprised at how quickly you put nice groups together. Have fun!

I’m kind of surprised no one else has mentioned this yet, but of course guns are allowed on boats. How else are you going to lose them in a boating accident?
