I don't often think about this aside from revolvers and shotguns... I also like the 4-5" range in general.

Looks like the cheap option is even cheaper: https://www.bereli.com/heritage-rough-rider-single-action-revolver-22lr-6-5-barrel-alloy-frame-blue-finish-cocobolo-grips-fixed-sights-6rd-long-rifle-cylinder-only/?utm_campaign=[heritage] Email Campaign 2020-12-14 12%3A36%3A27 (UxVfXy)&utm_medium=email&utm_source=AFFILIATES&_kx=dwMsw-_yFQcF8V-NiFRiXD3PbOHU-1Nvz2JOWVAalpFpzjdhl2nvXg0-icETPq19.PcfdLm 22LR Rough Rider for just 119.99. Granted, with just the 22LR cylinder. I'd totally go for this if it weren't for the handgun limits we have.

Hey all, Didn't realize I got a delivery and the (double boxed) box sat outside overnight. Do I need to be concerned? Everything feels dry inside at least.

I've only been in NJ for a few years and have yet to try this by any name... any recommendations in Essex? I only ever heard it called "pork roll" though

That's probably the Wrangler: https://shop.rtsponline.com/catalog/handguns/revolvers?action_id=16&brand_id=626&page=1 Which also isn't bad, I think.

I think I might try the Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt if I get a chance... that sounds pretty cowboy to me. If I were to go 22, I would definitely go Ruger Single-____ but it is a lot harder to come by than I imagined. I figured it would be nice to get a 22 revolver and rifle for some easy shooting.

Looks like Natchez is down to 15.99 a box now Kind of wish I checked earlier. I also signed up to TSUSA and their CCI blazer is a buck or two higher. I recently got some Fiocchi Range Dynamics for ~18 a box from Selway Armory, which seemed pretty good at the time.

Thinking of getting a wheel gun next. So far I've only fired my 9mm Beretta 92, which has comfortable grip and recoil for me. I'm hoping to rent some revolvers if I get a chance. I'm a big fan of the Colt SAA design and considered things like the Ruger Single-Six/Ten. Any first-time revolver recommendations? Is it worth getting a quality 22? Mainly looking for something pretty and fun to shoot.

Sometimes it feels like when people keep pouring money into a slot machine even though they know they're losing. The laws aren't working... we must need more!

Thanks for the input guys! I have a soft zippered bag that fits my shotgun, so I guess that works as is too. I actually ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C2JRHY3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Which isn't exactly small but seems more practical than the case. Can hold a couple rifles and handguns, with separate compartments for ammo so everything can go in one bag. Granted, my collection doesn't really justify it yet but I'm in a buying mood

Hey guys, So far I used a multi-compartment backpack for my handgun but wonder what people do for long guns. Does something like this make sense? https://www.harborfreight.com/9800-weatherproof-protective-rifle-case-long-black-64520.html Thanks again!

(Edit - II neglected to read you bought it in TN... maybe disregard ) More than receipts, it might be more important to hold onto the exercised handgun permit. (Feel free to educate me if that's not the case!) The eligibility paperwork for long guns would probably be good to have as well, though I imagine not as much as the pistol permits.

Well that was fun! I just went through the beginner 1 on 1 course at gun for hire and definitely got the impression that it is an excellent facility. It was also nice to finally put something through my Beretta 92X The staff was very welcoming and professional all around. I'll more than likely be back when I have a chance.

I'm not really surprised that it's always referred to as a "prop," and that the press immediately highlighted whatever the armorer said in the past about her lack of confidence. He's very clear about the issue: "No one ever handed me a hot gun!". The guns weren't taken seriously or treated with respect. It is really unfortunate. Nothing can be done about it now but hope her family finds peace.

I registered for a beginner course at Gun For Hire this week so we'll see how it goes It couldn't hurt.

It looks like I'll try to pay Gun for Hire a visit once I have my own gun. Seems RTSP will let me rent with just the FID. They're both about the same distance from me. I'm prepared for doubling up thanks to other advice here I'll try to squeeze some time for a trip during the week.

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah it looks like that and RTSP are the nearest to me.

Hey All, Just got my FID approved! Only ever went clay shooting a couple times in the last decade or so. Looking forward to trying out some handguns nearby. How do you guys go about picking a "home range"? Is there anything in particular I should be aware of?

Maybe people carrying laptops and such for work? I know I did that, but maybe going to an office is ancient history. Even pandemic aside, in some places people carry lots of stuff with them in backpacks: sanitary supplies, water, snacks... Maybe people are carrying more stuff so they interact with less people?

Good feedback, it does seem like Decibullz depends a lot on being able to mold it right. Am curious: Is it silly to wear muffs over electronic plugs?

Thanks for all the input all I agree, money is small compared to permanent hearing loss Howard Leight seem really popular. I think I'll see how that and decibullz feel to start. That otto set looks really impressive as well.

Hey All, Looking for suggestions on hearing protection. Mostly for indoor ranges with handguns and some long guns. Would I need a different set for indoors vs outdoors? Would anyone recommend a particular set of electronic muffs? Thank you and hope everyone has a good weekend I am still waiting for my FID so I figure I might as well get essentials down.

It's kind of like Agent K said in Men In Black: I think with the pandemic people have become ultra sensitive to natural catastrophes. Oh no, the virus! La Palma! Floods! It must be the apocalypse! Doesn't help that media loves to focus on everything terrible. Nature is full of chaos and disaster. Eventually nature will win, and we'll either be dust or in space.

The situation is literally hell on Earth for the locals, but we're very likely going to be fine here. The biggest threat is the toxic gas that will surely spew out towards the rest of Europe. It might be a few days... or weeks... or months... but once the lava stops flowing and things settle, it will hopefully put the mega-tsunami fears to rest for some time longer.

Thanks everyone for the input! Given that I agree, it only makes sense to apply for at least a few permits at once.
