Old School

If anyone wants to hit Cherry Ridge tomorrow for an hour or two I have some pistol work to do up there. My schedule is kind of flexible. Just post here.

I have scaled metallic silotes, can't spell, rams and such. Keep me in the loop I'll brig them up. These swing.

Old School it's not an issue with breaking rules maybe I misworded this. I don't have an issue with the RO's I know them very well and they do a great job, but sometimes my time is limited, I want to shoot and not carry on a conversation or satisfy someones curiosity about a big bang. Also they get nervous if they hear rapid fire on the trap range, I have a machine and I launch and shoot clay pretty quick. Glad to hear that Tom. We agree they are some of the nicest guys around. I'm up there quite alot. Hope to catch up to you sometime FTF. And about the trap range, I understand that too. I go up with two machines at times. LOL

Very cold and windy today! Friday was a good day at CR the temperature was 39 very light breeze and the place was practically empty, the RO's were hiding inside so nobody to bother you while shooting. The range officers never bother you at CR as long as you're following the rules. They are really pretty decent! Except when they want to go home to dinner and close the range a few minutes early. LOL But seriously, though the rules at CR may not be for eveyone they've haven't had any serious accidents in alot of years.

Go here: www.lonewolfdist.com and don't be afraid to call them. I think you have a lot of options without spending a ton of cash.

So their 22 is the same frame as the 17? So with a slide/barrel swap you can have a 40cal and a 9mm?? -Scott You don't need a slide just a Lone Wolf conversion barrel. About a $100

On an impulse I bought my daughter a pink Daisy for Christmas. Her response to my grandaughter was "I never had a BB gun when I was a kid. Dad just gave me a 22". Well I guess I saved one of her Glocks from going pink. And now fulfilled the every kid needs a BB gun obligation. BTW she got a G34 for her birthday! LOL Merry Chistmas Everyone!

It's Menendez. Sorry! Not the first time I screwed that up.

You mean "Our Whores" aren't worth anything?

How can you HATE him more? Save some hate for Melendez...

I use an out of state reference all the time. Nobody in this state loves me.

I have 6 and 9 yo grand kids and this tragedy hits home. Firearms education and yes lock them up. My wife and I live alone and are both trained and proficient with firearms. But when the kids are coming over EVERYTHING gets locked up. Even the stuff that "they won't find". Can't be too careful. Not for anything but where was parental supervision? And the dirt bag that left the gun available? Legal gun? I doubt it. Take care of our kids, teach them the 'Eddie Eagle" rules.

If anybody wants to try a G34 I'm at Cherry Ridge very often.

:roll: So is Kodak. :shifty: Just get back from the Catskills Henny Youngman :violin:

100,000 XD owners disagree. My guess is more glock owners disagree to the XD owners disagreeance... I love my G34, the only thing I would like to add to it (dare I say) is a external safety. I know it can't fire without pulling the trigger but I'm still uneasy about it regardless. I'll get beat up for this But... an external safety on a Glock is like wearing 4 condoms. There are three other safeties. The beauty of a Glock is it is point and shoot. OK I'm hiding under the table. I'm ready to take the shot! LOL

Can anyone suggest a 12 step program?

Far from a niche market. Lawman's is one of the largest LE suppliers in two states. You have no idea what the makeup of the company is based on that comment as their main sales income isn't from firearms and the profit margin in that area is slim. But they make it up in volume and with sales in other areas. Then why open a small storefront just outside of downtown Paterson? It certainly was not a fulfillment center or a warehouse operation, it was a rinky dink storefront, my best guesstimate was less than 1000 sq ft, with virtually no road visibility. It was almost guaranteed to fail in that location and geared ONLY to LEO on top of it... Hey! I'm not privy to their business plan! Obviously something didn't work out. Please realize the cost of doing business in NJ, especially the gun business. Remember Navy Arms? Years ago Val Forgett told me it was more expensive for him to get a shipment of arms from Port Newark to Ridgefield, about 15 miles, than it was to get the same shipment from the Port of Baltimore to West Virginia, where they are now. Oh, and yes I know Val has been dead for years.

Yes low margins on department and individual gun sales. Good margin on equipment and asccessories. We had a shop years ago and you wouldn't believe the slim margin on department sales of firearms. You see those Korean Glock magazines out there? I heard the story was Glock sold them the guns real cheap to get the contract and then tried to shaft them on the magazines so they made their own. But, it's just a story! LOL

When you corral yourself to a small niche market, you take a certain risk. Had they opened themselves to all FID holders, they probably would have had enough business to keep them on the map until everyone knew they were there. You're right they were a niche (boutique) dealer. All LEO stuff no sporting goods. They are a pretty big outfit I think Glock disrtibutor in like four states. It was convenient in Paterson. BTW they sold to the public as well. I think a small part of their revenue was private sales.

Yeah! It's a sin they're gone. They had good stock, no BS and sold at LEO pricing to retired military. I'll be travelling to Egg Harbor.

Wow when did this start? I had a NJ CCW In the late 70's and I don't remember this. But it may have been so and I've forgotten. I'm getting old...

If you have the time, I'm sure you'd have to fill out a statement, you may serve justice. I'm not a PITA kind of guy but, blatant abuse involving dumb animals is criminal. Not to speak of putting the human element at risk.

Yaeh 3 gun would be nice but this time of year, a handgun match would be welcomed.

A buddy of mine was stuck in that traffic on 287 too. That Bozo w/ the horse trailer did have horses on board and they did get messed up. Don't know how many survived. What an asshat!

rscalzo Well said!
