fatty 241 Posted May 21, 2012 Whats up everyone New member from Bergen county! I posted earlier but reluctantly missed this section. I'll probably see some of you guys out at bullet hole one of these days once I pick up my FPID/p2p and first pistol. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigBlueQ 7 Posted May 25, 2012 By the way, where abouts are you in Bergen? Depending on your town, you may be eligible to join the pistol club in Waldwick, but there is a waiting list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted May 25, 2012 By the way, where abouts are you in Bergen? Depending on your town, you may be eligible to join the pistol club in Waldwick, but there is a waiting list. I'm in the palisades park area which is close by the George Washington bridge. Is there a cost to join the pistol club? are there any advantages to joining such as reduced ammo or range costs? I appreciate the suggestion bigblue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted May 25, 2012 I also wanted to ask if it was a common thing to ask a fellow range dweller to try out their pistols/rifles... I'm trying to figure out what to buy as my first handgun but have only shot in .45 thru a kimber and xd45. I have no idea what a 9mm, .357, or a .40 feels like. I'd head to shore shot to rent a few but the bullet hole is about as far as I can get when I have some free time away from my wife and son. does anyone know of any places that rent pistols or rifles around the Bergen area?

I appreciate the suggestion bigblue No problem, unfortunately Waldwick wouldn't be able to accept you. They allow a limited number of non-residents to join, but only if you are a resident of a town that utilizes the range for police qualifications. In your neck of the woods, you might want to look at the Tenafly pistol club. It's a lot closer to you, and they may be open to anyone who qualifies. I don't know their entrance qualifications, but there are members here who do belong to Tenafly. Good Luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just checked out their site but seems quite expensive for what I had in mind... Thanks again for the info! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome, also from BC. Closest place to Bergen that currently rents would be RTSP. Also keep an eye out for events and meet ups where I'm sure a fellow members wouldn't have an issue letting you put a few rounds through different pistols.

fatty 241 Posted May 30, 2012 awesome, I'll have to check out RTSP sometime. it's pretty agonizing waiting for my FID and permit!! thanks to YouTube and hickock45 I can't sleep at night thanks for all the welcoming and info guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted June 8, 2012 Had a great time at RTSP tonight. The Sig 229 .40 is a sweet handgun as well as the XD40. It was nice to feel the difference between the DA XD and the DA/SA 229. I don't really notice a difference between shooting .45 and .40 except that the .40 has a bit more muzzle flip to it. Big ups to RTSP and the brand new facility, but damn their ammo is expensive! $35 for a box of 50 rds! I definitely spent way too much to test out 2 pistols tonight, but I think it was worth it.
