I stop by Randazzo's when I get the chance

Formerly was enlisted. When I was ETSing, I had to make the choice to either continue the work I did for the Army/NSA-CSS, except for one of the major defense contractors, or better myself in a way (and take a break) by finishing college. Figured a diploma is worth more in the long run. So, I'd consider myself more/less unemployed and a full-time student, but I do help as a tutor for a tutor center my family runs.

Yea, I don't think I'm going to be going back to SS for awhile. Nothing wrong with the location or the people who work there-- I just refuse to pay that much ever again (the next day I stopped by Cheyenne Mtn and bought a couple boxes for $20 a piece). As for the XD, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had fired the XD9 Service model a couple times, but not the XD40 nor any sub compact model. Trigger seems to be fine for me, though I'll pay closer attention to it as I shoot more. Only things I think I'm going to do with it are get a Hogue sleeve, and some Pearce grips for the smaller magazines.

Hello from Plainsboro, too!

My initials.

I was at SS last Monday, 11 May. Seeing how I was putting my XD40 through its first rounds, I only bought .40... and I wish I had brought more of my own as a box there was priced at $35 for non members.

Was browsing through another firearms website (firearmstalk.com), and happened to come across a post there that led me here. I couldn't say who the poster was as it escapes me. Spent probably around an hour browsing through the content at the time. Ultimately I found that having a focus-fire forum for NJ gun owners like myself would be FAR more beneficial then some random forums. Having people that know first hand the laws, places to purchase, ranges, etc in NJ is priceless.

Just was checking out Cheyenne Mountain's site for when they open, and posted is that they are having their "Grand Opening" sale from 14-25 May. Was planning on going tomorrow to pick up some ammunition myself, so, hopefully it'll be good timing. http://www.cheyennemtnoutfitters.com/

Definitely a fun show. Only thing that peeves me is how the show centralizes all the intel into the TOC. Given I know the show is about operators, and the TOC is probably enough to get the message across, but still! Ha, good show though. What it does really well is be entertaining without blurring the lines between entertainment and the ongoing issues.

Plainsboro Police Department took roughly 7 weeks. Applied late January, finally got a call back beginning of March. Had all of my paperwork squared away (including mailed-references) within four or five days of turning in the initial paperwork.

US Army 2004-2008. 35S (formerly 98J/Y), SIGINT Analyst.

I pass through East Windsor daily (attending classes at MCCC), so, neighbors indeed. I've looked into Central Jersey club, and their facilities look absolutely amazing and up to speed, but I honestly don't have the type of money to fork out at this point. I'll probably make a stop by BA sometime next week to finally fire my XD40, so, should be able to make my own assessment from that. And regarding citizens, the only reason why I asked is because its location (five minute drive), but I honestly didn't get the best impression from the process req to join. I'll probably still stop by their facilities, and see things for myself though. I saw this site when I was browsing the FireArmsTalk.com forum, trying to get some information on my XD. Glad I found it.

Hello everybody, the name is Ben. Had the opportunity to serve with the US Army for the past few years, having spent most of my garrison time in Colorado. Since then, opted to come home and progress with the rest of my life. Never touched a firearm until Basic, when all romanticized notions were replaced with reality. I find shooting to be therapeutic, and possession to be an absolute when it comes to security. Fortunately, I was able to survive the gauntlet the state sets forth, and purchased my first firearm no more then a day or two ago (6 May) from Cheyenne Mtn Outfitters. Now I'm a more then satisfied owner of a Springfield Armory XD .40SW SC. It is good to see an active forum run by, and dedicated for NJ owners. Streamlining information is always paramount. This question may seem out of place, but what ranges in the central NJ area are worth looking in to? I've been to Shore Shots in Lakewood, and enjoyed it there. However, I don't want to pigeonhole myself. I've read good things about BA, but anywhere else? Also, has anybody had any first-hand experience/membership with the Citizens Range and Recreation Club (Private range) in West Windsor? http://www.crrc.org/crrc.htm Hello again, good to be a part of the community.
