hello!!! from north jersey

[darewinder 0]

Hey guys.

 

Looking into buying my first handgun in new jersey. I have not shot in a while 5-6 years but have experience shooting handguns. I will be applying for my permit shortly. if anyone can suggest a store/vendor and a place to shoot near north/central jersey it would be awesome

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Welome aboard dude! If your gonna stay local in regards to an FFL then Caso's is the place. If you want to use highly reputable FFLs on this site then PK90 and TJ are tops. Good luck and keep us posted on your process. What town are you from?

The lines between north and central jersey are pretty vague. Shore Shot in Lakewood has a great selection of handguns, both for sale and for rent. (All you need to rent is a DL) You can go there and try many different guns in the same caliber for one price and see what you really like. Nice range to shoot at, very friendly and knowledgeable staff and forum members get half off walk on shooting fees.

 

Tuesday nights a lot of forum people shoot and most would be happy to let you shoot their stuff.

 

Oh yeah, welcome aboard from Toms River!

Welcome aboard. Where abouts are you from? Cherry Ridge outdoor range (north jersey) is a nice place to shoot or Bullet Hole in Essex County.

I've been getting to Bullet Hole and Shore Shot at least once a month and I'm in process checking out Somerset County Fish & Game Protective Assn.'s range in Bridgewater.

hey guys thanks alot for the welcoming replies. I live mostly in new brunswick but do visit rutherford (north jersey) often so kinda in between places. I dont have to use FFL if a store has a good selection. Also looking to buy a 9mm or 40 I shot an USP 45 by HK and really liked it. Might consider MP or sig as well.

good to know. ill apply thru Rutherford then. I have an address there as well

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I'm not sure if Rutherford will be any better, but if you want the contacts for New Brunswick, let me know - I'll PM them over to you. I think it's Detective Herbst in the ID dept that deals with FID's. And he only does it on Tuesdays around lunchtime and Thursdays after 5.

[M4BGRINGO 139]

Do you know the first name of Detective Herbst?

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Nope, but if you call asking for him in the ID department they'll put you through.
