Whats up everyone, glad to be a part of this forum. I never even realized a NJ specific firearms forum existed, I am on a few other gun related boards but will probably find myself posting here more often since we have our own unique situation in NJ when it comes to this hobby. Anyhow, I'm a college student currently residing in monmouth county and I have been shooting/collecting semi automatic rifles for a few years now. My dad is also a shooter and a collector of ww2 firearms so we tend to go shooting together. I used to go to shore shot all the time when I first started shooting until I began purchasing long guns and was not allowed to shoot them there because of the calibers so I let my membership run out since I couldnt make use of it. I went a few years without shooting because I had no place to go, can't afford CJ range and fort dix is just too much of a travel, plus I've heard that they are a bit strict there when it comes to modern semi automatic sporting rifles. I started shooting again when brick armory opened up their range because they allow me to shoot all of my rifles there and always have lanes open (when I used to go to shore shot there were often times when I'd end up going home without shooting because there was no lanes available) I browsed this forum and read a little bit about the various ranges, I see that there is a general consesus here that BA is a shady business, I have no say in this as I have only purchased one firearm there and had no issues (although it was a bit overpriced). They did try to sell me a firearm once that had a few issues, but I test fired it and was refunded my deposit with no problems at all so I can't complain about their service, plus I always enjoy my time on their range without any nervous range employees breathing down my neck and watching my every move. Although I enjoy shooting my .556, .308 and .30-06 rifles at brick, I wish I could find a range (outdoor) that was longer than 25 yards and black rifle friendly so I could really see what my firearms are capable of. In the meantime I'll have to just settle for the pistol range distances, at least the range is fairly new so its always clean, has good ventilation and its usually pretty empty not to mention I am not treated like a novice or a threat while shooting there, the range officers mind their own business as long as nothing dangerous is going on. I am glad I found this forum and I am looking forward to chatting with other NJ shooters/collectors, maybe one of these days I will find myself a good rifle range, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! :)

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
