I've been to both recently and can unequivocally say the Oaks show is the better one for size, variety and prices. It's a longer drive, though worth it. Great deals on 50 cal ammo cans ($7). I may be going, but probably on the 6th since Shongum USPSA is on the 5th.

So you people are saying 30 round magazines aren't dangerous? Don't you realize how much damage they can cause? Just think, if you step on one badly you could sprain your ankle! And don't get me started about drum mags...

Everything is appreciated, thanks again. I know a few people in similar situations. Please thank your son for what he's doing. USAF is a great way to go - I did 20 myself and my daughter goes to Basic this summer (San Antonio in the summer, good times).

Thank you all! And +1000 to you rdsmith3. Greatly appreciated

There's a sickness going around, and it's called Tough Mudder. Myself, my son Nick, and two co-workers will be "running" the Tough Mudder on Apr 29 in PA. You can donate, on our team's behalf, to the Wounded Warrior Project by clicking on this link. Even if you don't donate we'd appreciate your kind, supportive words as we die in the mud. We are "The B-Team". Thank you.

Aren't "magnetic" rounds a concern at some ranges (especially in dry areas) because they can cause sparks? Sounds like another excuse to control people more than a legitimate reason, though. I wasn't necessarily implying the shooting may have caused the fire; a carelessly tossed cigarette or cigar could do it too.

Kinda answered my own question: http://www.jointbase...sp?id=123297312 Apparently it started at ranges 13 and 14. Hope is wasn't a negligent shooter or we will see, at best, tighter rules. At worst, they could close the range.

?? I was planning on going there Wednesday, taking a vacation day, but if it's closed for the fires...

Hope everyone is staying safe with these fires we're seeing. http://www.nj.com/south/index.ssf/2012/04/wildfire_consumes_600_acres_in.html I hear it's affected Range 14 (and I would assume McGuire-Ft. Dix-Lakehurst).

Phew! I just placed an order about 30 minutes ago after searching for discount codes and only found the ones vf915 mentioned. Saw this thread and was able to cancel the order. I'm one of those cheapos that won't buy anything unless it's on sale/discounted or I NEED IT RIGHT NOW. Thanks!

In, and so is my son. We'll be shooting my 226 and Dan Wesson CBOB. I haven't decided which one I'll let him shoot. Vic, if we weren't shooting my CBOB I'd offer you my Blade Tech for Saturday, sorry. FYI, this looks like a nice holster for 1911 use in IDPA (suede-lined so reduces wear marks): Front Line LKC 3-Layer Belt Holster Right Hand 1911 Suede Lined Leather and Kydex Brown

Thanks to all contributing here - I'll be picking up my M9 any day now and will be using it for USPSA and IDPA. I'll shoot a few matches with it stock and then see about these mods. Good stuff.

Happy Easter!

And, since you work at a gun store, it's spelled BERETTA. Barreta is an island in Portugal.

Glad you're enjoying it. I, the old fart, am finding it rather painful.

47. Shooting for less than four years

Have fun guys! Hopefully see some of you at Somerset next weekend.

Rifle: M-1 Garand, 2008 Shotgun: Remington 870 18 inch tactical, 2012 Handgun: Dan Wesson CBOB, 2008 I still have all of them. The Garand and CBOB I'll have until I die. Haven't shot this 870 yet... so we'll see.

Not happening for me, not Easter Sunday.

Slings really help, even in unsupported positions. If you want an inexpensive and fun course in the use of slings, go to an Appleseed event. They are all about sling usage. Well, that's not what they are ALL about, but for the shooting part they require slings and teach you three methods.

Bad stuff - I just saw this on the Facebook page for Military Times' Gear Scout: "Beware of "Amazon Tactical". There is no contact information on this "store". It looks like someone built a site and is simply linking to everything on Amazon to collect on Amazon's associate program. Further, since they are using "Amazon" in their name I expect Amazon.com proper will shut them down." Sorry for "announcing" this in the first place!

You may find something at "Uncle Sam's" outlet, too: http://www.unclesamsretailoutlet.com/Packs-Duffles-and-Pouches.html?objects_per_page=50

Don't know how the quality is first hand, but Cheaper Than Dirt has great prices on (probably Chinese-made) rucks.
