How does one get started in matches? Is there a beginner level? Where do you find such matches? I’m in north Jersey.

I’m well versed in this area. Back in the early 80’s when silver spiked to nearly $50 an ounce, every coin dealer and jewelry shop had big posters in the windows with the current silver spot price and the value of junk silver coins. At that time, people became very aware of the value of silver, and especially junk coins. People came from everywhere to sell 90% silver coins, grandma’s silver tea set, etc, to cash in on the run up. Foreigners are very aware of precious metals. I’ve seen many over the years at coin shops converting cash to gold and silver coins. Krugerrands are the most widely known gold coins which they buy the most. They know the intrinsic value of gold and silver, and put more faith in it compared to the dollar. Diversify your holdings, keep metals to no more than 10% of your portfolio, buy low premium well known products, and avoid all numismatic/graded coins. I’ll contribute more info as I have time, and as questions come up.

Buy precious metals at coin shows.

I was thinking ahead and purchased/received some spare parts already from Langdon. I always try to buy common spare parts and springs with my guns, and keep them in bags for each gun. When I eventually hand my guns down, at least there will be some parts to start with should there be a problem.

Where in NJ can I shoot on a range like that, and not in a competition? Eventually, I’d like to get involved in competitive shooting. Also, any outdoor steel target ranges? I’m in Bergen County and will travel.

I have a Trijicon SRO on order to pair with this gun. It will definitely be an upgrade from Marines M9 that was probably used by a few hundred guys before me! That old gun was fired, field stripped, cleaned, dropped, banged around, etc, more than most guns would ever see in a lifetime! Still ran fine when I shot it. Every Beretta that came off the armory truck ran like a champ, regardless of who handled it. So I’m hoping for slightly better performance from the new LTT.

I’m waiting on delivery of a Langdon Tactical 92G Elite with RDO and carry bevel. Wanted to add a Beretta 92 to my collection, as I used one in the military, and don’t currently own a Beretta handgun. I’ve got two Beretta shotguns, and like the brand. Anyone have one that can share their thoughts and opinions as to how you like it, and if you had any issues? Thx!

Hi Folks, New guy here from north Jersey. I found the site while doing an internet search for gun ranges in NJ, and came across this site. Joined upon my first visit here. Looking to share info with likeminded people, learning from the contributions of others, and contributing where I can. Very interested in learning about NJ gun laws, gun ranges, outdoor ranges, and gun chat.
