NJScott 15 Posted July 15, 2011 I can't tell you all how much knowledge and great information I've gained from lurking on this forum on and off for the last year or so. Several buddies of mine at work frequent your site and that's how I got turned on to it. As is the case with some of your veteran posters here, I'm from Bayonne and I'm hoping to get a chance to meet up with you down at 16th Street. I've been a handgun owner since the mid-80's, but honestly just got away from shooting for some odd reason. I've got a S&W .38 Chief's Special, 2", plated in nickel, and frankly, it's never been a comfortable gun to shoot or to really master. So...after reading about some of your posters' shooting experiences on here I decided to apply four months ago for two PP's from my local P.D., and just got 'em the other day. I also purchased a Ruger 10/22 for my nephew, who's going to be my shooting buddy (over the mild objections of his liberal mother, LOL), and have taken him on a few trips into Pennsy to shoot outdoors. I'm looking forward to doing my research on here as well as heading down to BA, SS or up to Sunset Hills to try out a few different .40's. The XD and the Glock model 22 are at the top of my list so far (I'm liking the Steyr in .40 just a little bit, too), but as I said I'd like to try a few rounds out, if possible, before purchasing anything in particular. Anyway, GREAT site, great folks and I'm looking forward to making up for lost time in the gun ownership/shooting activity. Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRaptor 68 Posted July 15, 2011 Welcome to the board! Perhaps your sister-in-law will come shoot with you and your nephew some day. It never hurts to try to create a convert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJScott 15 Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks all! Ray-Ray: I've only just started going back to the PBA range in Bayonne. Last time I was a regular there, Irv Johnson was the RO. Yes, I'm old, LOL. In any event, I hope to run into you and the other locals (and not so local NJGF members) soon. Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
