Thinking about taking some friends to BA tomorrow...
What's the range like on Saturdays?

CZ 75 owners!
Those Hogue grips rule. Much tackier than my standard SP-01 rubber grips.

Tempting, but my boss might not like that. Last time I brought my own ear and eye protection, but I have a friend that might be interested in joining me tonight. Does BA have glasses and muffs he can use? I've only been once, but I seem to remember a wall of safety equipment by the door to the range.

I'll be there tomorrow with the SP-01, and a Ruger Blackhawk .357 SA revolver. 8pm, as usual? -Jim

The tactical block and bayonet is also on sale on the CZ-USA site, only $99 including the leather sheath! The bipod is actually for the G22.

I have an SP-01 Tactical, I'll definitely bring it if I join you guys Tuesday night. It's up in the air at this point. Here's my CZ being extra "Tactical"

Yeah, I've always found the dreaded 16 round mags, or 10 round mags that are $10-15 more than these are.

Just a heads up, the CZ-USA online store has Mec-Gar 15 round mags on sale for $24.99. I just picked up two for my SP-01. https://shop.cz-usa.com/home.aspx -Jim

Checked out Sayreville Sportsman today.
That wasn't my experience. I browsed for about 15 minutes and I had two of their employees ask me if they could help me find anything. Then I asked about CCI Mini Mags for my G22, and one of the other men working there came over from stocking a shelf to chat about .22 ammo.

Vintage ammo
My Dad had all sorts of interesting old gun related stuff floating around, most of it was given to me after he passed in 2002. I have a few old school Sierra bullet boards from the 70's floating around somewhere.

Any non gun forums visited?
JonF already mentioned it, but I generally spend 90% of my time over on NASIOC. Been a member for almost 10 years. Members: 210498, with 3187 online as I type. I also hang around bladeforums.com, svrider.com and a handful of others.

Vintage ammo
Here's a box of 9mm from 1949. I also have a handful of German 9mm from around 1942.

Rt. 9 usually takes forever, too many traffic lights. I could take 18 to 34 to the parkway and cut the corner a bit, but the time difference is negligible. Although taking that way home avoids the last toll before my exit.

Spotswood, right next to East Brunswick. I just shoot down Rt. 18 and pick up the parkway from around 108. Might not be good on summer weekends, but I left tonight around 5:30 and hit no traffic. Also, I was telling JonF, that was the first time I've shot at an indoor range since I was a kid. I've always done my shooting up at my Dad's cabin in PA, where we'd line some cans on a tree stump. Oh, and I almost did a little deer hunting on my drive home. A dumb little spike buck wandered out in front of me about 2 miles from home. At least it was a 25mph road, and I saw him coming a mile out. Just wandering on the shoulder, and then as I approached, he decided that was a good time to cross in front of me. Stupid tall rats.

It was a pleasure meeting you guys. I plan on signing up at BA in the near future as well, so I'm sure I'll see you guys more in the future! Plus it was only about 35-40 minutes away, which is pretty reasonable.

I'll meet you at 6:30, barring awful traffic.

Walther G22
What was your favorite ammo for your G22? I picked one up and haven't fired it yet, but I have a few different types of .22 to choose from. American Eagle lead with no copper jacket, Federal bulk jacketed and CCI mini-mag.

Checked out Sayreville Sportsman today.
They had a WALL of SIG 556 rifles! At least 20, with red dot sights. I believe their price was either $1545 or $1595. I also picked up the last two 100 round boxes of CCI Mini-Mag .22lr for $7.50 each. I haven't been able to find it on shelves in a bunch of other stores, so I'm happy. Had a nice chat with a few of their guys as well. I haven't been in there in almost 5 years, but I had a nice experience.

Range bags
My new range bag just showed up. Report and blurry pics to follow! It's a GunMate, roughly 16" long, 8" wide and 10" deep. The material is pretty sturdy, and all of the hardware and zippers are steel. Well stitched and rugged. The removable velcro dividers are handy. Also includes a nice shoulder strap. Two lockable side gun pouches include removable soft liners. All in all, well worth $19. Especially considering what some "name brand" range bags sell for. Sure, I could've used an old backpack or something like that, but I like how this keeps everything organized.

Just ordered the $19.99 range bag, along with an Uplula and some safety glasses. Should arrive tomorrow.

THE OFFICIAL FID THREAD - How Long Did it Take?
I didn't get interviewed, unless you count the officer who fingerprinted me making small talk about what I was interested in buying. Didn't ask about what i planned on using it for.

Gun Pictures..... Lets What Ya Got
Picked these up yesterday. Walther G22 and CZ 75 SP01 Tactical 9mm.

THE OFFICIAL FID THREAD - How Long Did it Take?
Just updated my other thread, but figured I'd add my experience. Friday July 10th, filed paperwork and got fingerprinted in Spotswood, NJ. Just called the municipal office today and the clerk told me I could pick my Firearms ID card and pistol permit up today. Exactly three weeks, and I was expecting three months. -Jim

Finally filed my paperwork in Spotswood & a few questions...
Just got off the phone with my local PD, and I can pick up my firearms ID and pistol permit later on today! I filed my paperwork and got fingerprinted on July 10th, so I'm very impressed. Time to go shopping!
