Planning on coming?

Hello hello everyone! So who wants to go shoot but is too cheap or broke after buying new guns? One of the things I wanted to return to, in part due to being jelly of how well @67gtonut organized the RTSP shoot and @Krdshrk and @sota do the regular NJGF clay shoots at Clinton.... is doing regular community meetups like we did 10 years ago when the site was launched. The goal is to eventually have a regular weekday, once a week at least, at a range throughout the state. The first one I was able to hammer down is right where it all started, Brick Armory, Garden State Shooting Center. Thanks to Tony @tj462nj and crew, GSSC is going to host NJGF members the first Tuesday of every month. Best of all, Garden State Shooting Center is offering some AMAZING discounts for NJGF Members! $5 per person walk on! $5 gun rentals! Member pricing on ammo! Furthermore, if anyone joins GSSC, they get 2 months free membership! Thank you Tony and GSSC. I will be there at the first one and try to attend monthly. Will try to bring some new fun and exciting toys for folks to try (that are Jersey legit!) Range is open until 10PM so let's plan for 7PM?

In fairness I do have an earlier Taurus 94? It's the 22lr. The cylinder does not index properly 100% of the time.

whoa, thanks for bringing it up. It looks great for sure. As you bring it up though, it is Taurus so the QC will be questionable. Some of their new products do seem well made. What gets me will be the price... $910 MSRP... for a Taurus? Tough to justify. Will try to request one to review though, you can come and play with it.

That would be my choice of color too.

Whoa... did not know about the ARchangel QDB.... going to reach out... So TC did announce a few other TCR22s at NRA... They have the Blued with FDE w/ Black Grit finish and also a very nice hardwood stock one. Brings up the weight to 5.1 lbs from 4.4 There is also the performance center version... https://www.tcarms.com/firearms/semi-automatic/performance-center-t-cr22-with-altamont-laminated-thumbhole-stock https://www.tcarms.com/firearms/semi-automatic/perfo

Got Global Entry years ago for precheck. Took about a month? Keep in mind they are still catching up with renewals from government shutdown... I am still waiting for my renewal.

A number of community members know that last month, I attended a private media event sponsored by Ruger which was co-sponsored with Leupold and Hornady. During this event, Ruger showed off and let us play with the new products which were set to be announced around the 2019 NRA show which just wrapped up. While the central products of focus were the three Ruger long range rifles, the Ruger Precision Rifles in 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC, and the Ruger Hawkeye Long Range Target, the company did showcase 3 of their new pistols, including the Ruger Wrangler. The Ruger Wrangler is a 6 shot, single action revolver, chambered for the 22 long rifle cartridge. The gun is precisely what you would expect to see at a local Single Action Society match or in a western movie. It was created to compete with the Heritage Arms Rough Rider revolver at the very low price point of under $200. Based on that information alone, can you blame a North East run and gun guy of overlooking the gun? While I had no doubts it would be commercially successful, I passed up the opportunity to take one home with me for further testing. After all, the Ruger PC Carbine with the Free Float Rail and the two new rocket launchers capable for shooting 2,000 yards plus were certainly more exciting? Right? In the real world however, the one filled with many new gun buyers, people with a budget and a geography where the vast majority of the time spent shooting is at indoor ranges at under 15 yards, the Ruger Wrangler is really an easy purchase to justify. It is then further reaffirmed by the simple fact that Heritage Arms sells hundreds of thousands of pistols! With it's $249 MSRP and a real world street price of around $200, the Wrangler offers an unparalleled value for a pistol. Combined with Ruger's casting experience and a cold hammer forged barrel, the gun buyer is sure to have a gun that is both durable and reliable for many years to come. With Ruger's lifetime warranty, the gun can easily be a generational product! For New Jersey gun owners, the Ruger Wrangler has another position. It is a pistol that you should buy if you have pistol permits that are due to expire and you do not want to let them go to waste! This brilliant idea was brought up by our very own Steve at Monmouth Arms, aka @remixer. So are you planning on buying a Ruger Wrangler? In which color?

Here is the Ruger Wrangler video.

Congrats @gunforhire

Video premier tonight at 9PM.

Gun was just publicly announced. 300 PRC. https://www.ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/specSheets/18083.html Also shot this in 6.5 PRC. https://www.ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/specSheets/18042.html Reviews coming soon.

What guns did you sell? VP9Le threaded by any chance? That should sell here very quick. Hope your situation works out. And just an FYI for those that want an FFL out of state, @FreedomSportsLLC. Yes, in PA... but quite close to the border.

@Pizza Bob ?

No, they did not. Just this gun in 3 flavors. And definitely 22lr only. There is A LOT of interest in the gun just based on searches... I think far above what anyone expected. Will be interesting to see how it stabilizes past NRA show and the next few months.

Glad you were able to solve this. Will keep this open as it is a great discussion of options and I am sure many others may find themselves in similar position.

Too hot... I was still wearing Adidas shoes and my t-shirt is Adidas. =P

Very very cool. Made it out to the range myself... was thinking of a gun auction but it was far away and things out of my price range. Then was thinking 300 yard range then since the sun was shinning, went to put more rounds through the PC Carbine w/ Rail... Then was treated to... Continuing to be amazed that they do not require minimum distance to targets as rounds may skip... although when you are in middle of nowhere...

@Pizza Bob I am sorry we turned this post into Torx/Robertson central. =)

is the FFL an actual FFL/SOT? @FreedomSportsLLC Can you clarify?
