I live in Westfield, NJ and new to buying a handgun and selecting an affordable range.

I've got my sight set on a browning Buck Mark Camper, stainless, ultra grip URX, Fiber sights.

Can't find anyone who has one used/new around the state. Bud's had 2-3 in their auction

for $369.00 but was concerned about dealing with the out of state seller. Any easy way

to narrow down gun shops in state that would carry them. (best prices). Heard there were

some on market for $337.00 few months back.

And any suggestions on local ranges you could pass along would be very helpful.

Thanks all!

Great forum

Hi John. You can do a "GUN PRICE REQUEST" and will get responses from the Vendors on this forum. The link is a tab on the top of the forum, next to "STORE" and "FEEDBACK".

 

Not too sure about the ranges in north jersey, but I can tell you Teressa's in Westfield is the best Italian food that I have had in NJ, haha...

 

Good luck with the purchase!

Hey John,

 

The Browning Buckmark is a great gun. Do yourself a favor though and don't cheap out by getting the Camper model. It has (or at least did when I was looking for mine) a plastic rear sight base that has been known to strip/crack and cause problems. Spend $75 more and get the standard Buckmark (with metal rear sight base) and you will have a gun that can be passed down to your grandkids. I much prefer my Buckmark to any Ruger I have shot. The only downside is my wife liked it so much she claimed it for herself.

I picked one of those up just this June, it's a great gun.  I couldn't find one locally either. I finally found one online at impactguns.com.  If you can find one online at a price you like, my suggestion would be to grab it.

Howdy neighbor.  Like others have said use the price request.  Believe it or not there are actually quite a few gun shops <20 miles away. Bullseye in woodbridge is a good place to go.  Rahway firearms guild is right around the corner from there.  Ottomanellis exit 153 off the parkway.  Effingers (yuck) in Boundbrook.  Lous in raritan. 

 

As to a range OBRPC ~20 miles, Woodland park Range (right next to Ottomanellis) ~20 miles, CJRPC.~50 miles

Welcome John!

 

In Northern NJ, you can shoot at Woodland Park range.  No membership is required, but if you want to shoot often and want to rent often too, it makes sense to consider membership.

Another place is G&S Hunters in Paterson.  Membership is required but it is affordable.  And, free eye/ear protection.

I'm a little confused. My P2P says that the seller must be located in New Jersey. Is buying from Gun Broker.com

out of state and transferring to the Guild in Rahway a legal transaction since both have FFL's????

and transferring to the Guild

    • 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.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
