Another lefty shooter chimming in...I havent had any problems shooting my glock or SR9 with my left hand. As mentioned before, all the functions of the gun could be done with my left trigger or middle finger. -Scott

Thanks man...Im very happy with both purchases so far. Cant wait to get out to the range and try them both out! -Scott

Yesterday was a great day for the gun junky in me!! I picked up my new Rock Island Armory 1911 9mm tactical model from Tony at TJs sporting arms right after work. When I got home my new to me scope with laser sight had come in for my M&P 15-22. I was in gun heaven all night between these two new additions. I took some very sloppy pics in during my excitement. I cant wait to get to the range and try out both additions! -Scott

New RIA 9mm Tactical and a new scope with laser reticle sight. -Scott

I just picked up the same gun! I got the 9mm tactical version. I didnt get to the range yet but am looking forward to it! Sorry for the sloppy pics...it is late. -Scott

+1! -Scott

Thanks! -Scott

The beretta 92 is a bit out of my range for a new one. Still watching for nice quality used one. I have been researching the Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical model chambered in a 9mm and am very interested for the prices I have seen them at. Anyone seen/shot this gun? If not the 9mm version anyone own the 45 version? -Scott

LOL.... -Scott

Welcome! This tips range you are speaking of...is it gunna be indoor only? Where is it gunna be located? At there store on RT9? -Scott

Thanks for all the great info guys. The STI looks awesome but it is too much money for my budget right now. Maybe I can find one used if I search hi and low. I would like to shoot a beretta 92 if I can meet up with some guys at SS next tuesday night. -Scott

Thanks for the info....dont you have the springfield? I remember shooting it a while ago and it was awesome. I missed out on a browning in the market place on here just a few weeks ago. I will keep an eye out for it though. Thanks again Maks! -Scott

After thinking long and hard I sold my SR9 to another forum member tonight so I am back in the market for another 9mm. I'm thinking about a 9mm 1911 but the prices are way up there and out of my league. Trying to stay around the $500 range...maybe a bit more for the right gun. What are everyones opinions/thoughts. Anyone own the RIA 1911 in 9mm? I see them listed for a reasonable price. -Scott

Absolutely! They did a good job by shutting it down and stopped racing. Saved you a ton! -Scott

Looks awesome...let us know how accurate it is. Im interested in a 1911 but cant afford the super expensive ones. -Scott

Sounds like I have the same range bag as you do and I travel to and from the range with my pistols in the side pouches zipped closed and unloaded with no mags and the ammo is in the bottom of the large main compartment in their original boxes. I keep all the empty magazines in the side pouch designed to carry them. This is legal here in NJ. -Scott

Very typical of todays society....everyone else is wrong and only your thoughts/opinions/actions are right. The poor LEO's of this state AND nation have tough jobs these days. They are damned if they do and damned if they dont. Had a nice long conversation with a Trooper the other day about this same thing. If the truth of that matter is that the guy came out pointing his weapon the waretown police did their job to protect and serve. These guys, in a situation as this, cant stop and think, " is it loaded is it not?" "will I get fired for this and loose my pention?" They have to do what they are trained to do. The second they stop to think these things is one second too long. But society is pushing n pushing LEO's to the point that something terribles gunna happen. Look at the Trenton incident a few weeks ago. Those guys were doing their jobs too and will probably get suspeneded or fired for it....sad....very sad. -Scott

Nothing yet but should be some nice cold coronas and sitting on my uncles dock in a couple hours! Gotta love being by the water when there are NO bugs! -Scott

I agree!! Just cleaned my M&P 15-22 the other day and man was that thing nasty. Granted it had about 700rds through it but it was pretty gross especially for a new gun. My pistols were both cleaned in half the time it took to do the rifle. -Scott

Sounds like the fishing supply and gun supply worlds have joined hands... -Scott

I dont believe they regulate their sales, only the prices, which is also crazy. If I was stocking Glock dealer and I wanted to sell all new Glocks at $250 and advertise it as a half off special why would Glock care? Sure I would be loosing money but they would be getting one hell of an order from me right? I have heard that Glock regulates how low you can sell but I never knew Sig did it as well. -Scott

Thanks for all the info guys! Well we made the trip to SS today and we picked the right time! I knew it was gunna be a good day from the get go. My Nephew ran up to the car before I could even get out cuz he was so excided to go! The awesome crew at SS took care of him right from the minute we walked in the door and we were in the range going over safety steps once more before even taking the guns out of there cases. He really enjoyed himself. He loves the M&P 15-22! Went back to that gun the most. I will give him credit he tried everything I brought with us even if it was only one shot like the 12ga with 00Buck shot. He didnt want to try the slug after that! He thought the Glock G22 had too much kick and only shot it three times. He was doing well with my Ruger SR9 till he adjusted his grip when I was grabing more ammo and the slide "bite" him. That was my fault for not telling him to wait while to took my eyes off him to grab the ammo to reload the next magazine. Wasnt a fan after that. But the day went on and by the end he was shooting the M&P 15-22 out at the 20yrd mark and hitting the 8" targets with every shot! He took his first spent case from each weapon as souveniors(sp?) and even kept his target that had the best grouping. I was impressed & proud! -Scott

Over the Easter weekend I was showing my Dad pics of my MP 15-22 rifle when my Nephew walked up and said he would like to go shooting. He is 13 and a well rounded kid with his head on his shoulders. I told him I have no problem taking him to the range and explaining safe handling/firing of a gun as long as both his parents say its ok. Im waiting to see if his parents approve of this trip. When do you think is a good time for kids to learn how to shoot? Im aware it will differ from kid to kid depending on their maturity level but whats a rough age? -Scott

Any perticular reason why they wont let you eat the tuna on the rig? nice job! Those are some nice fish! -Scott

Ha! Thanks for the heads up, I was about to pop open a beer and start playing. Guess I will have other plans for this evening. -Scott
