Welcome. Which pistol are you looking to purchase?

ammo and pistols in a range bag, rifles in cases and all in the trunk.

my pistol permit took about 30 days.

An insult to buzzards everywhere. K LOL! I have some seriously large turkey vultures up in Kinnelon, NJ.

Welcome! I'm from North Jersey, as well.

I've considered the RPC but I wouldn't be able to shoot my rifles or shotguns there. I know a few people that work/go there.

I shoot at Cherry Ridge. There aren't a lot of choices up here in the great northwest. It's a nice range, with a variety of options from a short rifle/slug range (50/100 yds) out to a big bore range (200/300 yds), handgun range (out to 50 yds or so), trap range and .22 silo range for little bit of steel plinking. All outdoors, but stations are covered. Plenty of available lanes and parking hasn't been an issue so far. Bare bones otherwise... no rentals, no targets, no ammo. BYOG. It may be someplace you could look into, depending on where in Morris you are. The range is just up Rt. 23 in Highland Lakes. http://www.anjrpc.org/cherry_ridge.htm Ken Ken & Tom! Thanks so much for this heads up. This is exactly what I'm looking for. I live right off of Route 23 in Kinnelon and this range is about 20 minutes from me. I'll be taking a trip up there as soon as I get my AR together. Group trip, anyone?

Being in the manufacturing business, raw materials are up. Strangely, scrap is down. :evil:

That's my status and he was very nice and informative.

do it up! they're dirt cheap used and a sure bet. you can't go wrong!

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I included a list of my toys in my signature. I currently shoot at the Bullet Hole in Belleville, NJ. It's a little annoying because it's a 40 minute hike out there, the wait is usually long and the parking is super sketchy, to say the least. I'm trying to find a closer/better/safer place to shoot. Any suggestions?

axeman: That's odd, but everyone's different and you're most likely better with a different gun. Glocks feel awkward in my hand, for some reason. tbtout: You're more than welcome to give mine a go if we ever cross paths.

Jim is a straight shooter and a nice guy but the inventory is extremely limited. I had my P99 delivered to Action from Arizona. He was the cheapest transfer around. Great experience.

Hey everyone. Stopping in here to properly introduce myself. My name is Rich and I hail from Morris County, NJ. I'm looking forward to this NJ exclusive forum. Also looking forward to crossing paths with some of you for some good shooting. Be safe out there!

i recently placed and received an order from tips. great mags and the mod is very nicely done.

in all honesty, i never even knew about the pistol being featured in james bond films until after i bought it! i'm not a fan of .40 caliber (or larger) pistols. i can't shoot them for as long as i can shoot a 9mm due to hand fatigue. 9mm's also have cheaper ammo which allows me to shoot more/get more range time.

close. the range is 23 yards.

This year, I picked up a brand new Walther P99 Military Edition 9mm pistol. I've been lusting after this pistol for a while after seeing pictures of it on the internet. I finally found a sweet quick action model on gunbroker.com and took the plunge. This is a wonderful and super-comfortable pistol that is a complete joy to shoot. The grip, which was the main thing that attracted me to this pistol, is very ergonomic and fits my hand like an old pair of broken in sneakers fit my feet. The trigger pull is slightly heavy for my taste but it is consistently dead accurate. I've put 850 rounds through it so far without a single malfunction or jam. I highly recommend this pistol. I haven't taken a picture of mine yet, so here is one off the net as an example:

the bullet hole is the range i often shoot at. i agree with everyone describing the range officers as pleasant but stern and the people behind the counter as lifeless. the range isn't bad, just short. it also does have a tendency of getting very busy, especially on demo days (insanity). i've met some really pleasant and knowledgable people at the bullet hole but i also noticed a bunch of want to be gangsters and hoodies, without any real knowledge of shooting, there also. just try to steer clear of those individuals or alert a range officer if the way someone is handling their firearm is making you nervous. i'm currently looking for a longer range to shoot my ar rifle at in the morris county area. can anyone point me in the right direction?

i own a synthetic-stocked savage .243 with simmons scope which i picked up at gander mountain for $250 that is a lot of fun!

hey everyone. i'm new to the forum and just recently (3 days ago) purchased my first ar15 rifle. i purchased it off of a fellow nj resident that i came across on ar15.com. it's a bushmaster m4a3 .223/5.56 rifle. i haven't even shot it yet and i've begun outfitting it. here's what i have on the way: daniel defense omega 7" rail grip pod gps-02 foregrip bushnell trophy 1x32 red dot gg&g spring-loaded b.u.i.s. ace shorty skeleton stock w/ 1" pad custom made 15 rnd magpul pmags i'll post pictures of it when it's all put together. for now, here's a picture of it in stock form:

looks like i'll be making a trip out there very soon! i just mail ordered some 15 rnd PMAGs from them and they're great. Tom over there is very pleasant.
