Youtube taught me how to clean all my guns, some very in-depth videos and some basic videos. I knew how to field strip and clean my first hand gun even before I picked it up. Dont sweat it, it will become easy, and possibly enjoyable.

Not sure if this is the model you’re looking for. https://www.shootersnj.com/products/handguns-smith-wesson-11822-022188871333-2950

Stopped in Weshoot tonight, they have an M&P 2.0 full size to rent.

And they are very busy, don’t go often mostly to shop. They were making you sign a list and wait outside until called. Weshoot can get busy but I have never waited for a lane to open. Pretty sure anywhere you go will have an M&P 2.0.

Bring the significant other! Once you join a range and have your FID card you can go solo, by then you will have your own handgun, and can rent solo.

Eye and ear protection, if you don’t have your own and a couple targets also, figure $80 to rent one hand gun.

That, and less likely to turn the gun on yourself. I could be wrong but I do not think you can rent without a second person with you at any range. Without an FID card. prepare yourself for the cost also, lane rental $20, gun rental $10-$25 and you have to buy their ammo if you rent $30-$40

Two in ocean county that rent with only a driver license are, Weshoot and Shore Shot pistols range. Both require 2 people to to rent a hand gun, you can’t walk in alone to rent. Both are in Lakewood 2 miles apart.

Enjoy! They are a ton of fun to shoot. Bought this red dot when I first got my AR https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-rotary-knob-25mm-microdot-with-2-moa-dot-reticle cheaper, nice quality and held zero, come to find out I have an astigmatism and trying to use it gave me a headache, put it on the wife’s AR, she loves it, beats the heck out of it too.

Dave, how about a few pics of your work shop, I would think it is impressive?

They must have updated their indoor range, it seems much newer than shore shot, and cleaner. The wife was much happier at Weshoot. Shore shot has a much better rifle and pistol sales counter, many more choices, got lucky a few weeks ago and picked up a Kimber at shore shot.

Weshoot, shore shot was always so busy, thanks Dave, I will.

Dave, sorry to hear an injury sidelined your health so much so that you had to sell your treasures. Memories, and pictures are a beautiful thing. Joined a local range here in Lakewood, need to get my feet wet first, so to speak. One day I’m sure I’ll get to CJRP. Marty

If you ever feel the urge to show someone your collection of rifles, I’m 20 minutes away, I’ll bring the beer or Johnny Walker Blue. ;-)
