I've had good experiences and prices from www.cheaperthandirt.com and www.sgammo.com. As everyone else has said, check prices!

Nah, the article is actually written pretty poorly and out of sequence. Still, good for her!

I'd love for him to do an HK45 review, just to hear his thoughts on it.

His channel, he can post whatever video he wants. I think he has a point though in that Ed Brown's behavior is bad for business.

HK45 and HK45C are Made in USA too...

Wow, I'd like to go over there just to see it. With regards the size and weight, I think it's a case where the government came up with some pretty ridiculous goals for the Offensive Handgun Weapon System, and HK went and built something that actually met the requirements. Well, they've got the HK45CT now, and that's a much more practical and useful pistol for .45ACP.

I'm confused by Beretta safeties that go "the wrong way". (Well, go the wrong way for me...)

Are you thinking of the HK45C (compact)? That has the smaller mag release levers. I have both the HK45 (full size) and P30S, and they have the same larger but shaped mag release levers. I'm one of those folks who *loves* the trigger guard style mag releases. It's so easy and natural to get to, yet very difficult to accidentally activate.

Yah, older gentleman. I was there 10:30-1.

I was just there today with two friends and we spent two hours there. We all had a great time as usual. Also met a different RO and he seemed pretty friendly.

That's interesting. Ramsey Outdoor in Ramsey, I presume? When I first went there, I had my FID but didn't take it out and they let me look at any handgun I wanted. Good for them, since I ended up buying from them. I have a different experience at Ramsey Outdoor in Paramus. They explicitly had my FID out on the counter the whole time I was looking. The man behind the counter wasn't as friendly either.

I have the H&K P30 and the ergo grip is fantastic. It's a polymer pistol, but feels very solid. If you prefer striker fired, many folks speak highly of the Walther PPQ as well.

Just to clarify, it's $10/hr for the rental too.

I was thinking the same thing!!

Just saw this in the news: http://www.northjersey.com/news/crime_courts/122311_Wyckoff_man_charged_with_firing_gun_near_homes.html Well that's silly. Sounds like he got a permit and followed the right process up until this point. It's true there aren't enough ranges in Bergen County (RTSP is nice, but further than I would like), but this is plain dumb. I suspect he'll lose his FID now.

For example, I think it was $28 for a box of 9mm for non-members.

Ah, just be aware there isn't a factory P30 LEM conversion kit. Some folks have done it on their own or leveraged a third party kit, but it's not officially supported by H&K. I don't know if that matters to you. On the other hand, the HK45 can be converted back and forth between DA/SA and LEM with a factory conversion kit. To the OP, I'm a new gun owner, but started off with the P30S 9mm and HK45, both DA/SA. I'm trying to learn to handle the heavy DA trigger pull, but they've been fantastic and fun to shoot. It's early still, but so far no failures of any type through several hundred rounds. I recommend the HK45, for whatever that's worth.

My brother nascaryankee and I were also there for the first time on Sunday morning and had a great time. He brought his Beretta 92FS INOX, and I brought my H&K P30 and HK45 and shot for about an hour. It's a very nice facility, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The intro video is thankfully short and to the point, so that wasn't a big deal.

Cool, thanks for the reply! It would be a pain to drag a bunch of plastic cases around.

Noob question: I see in the range rules: Would keeping a handgun in a zippered gun rug in a duffel bag be sufficient? Edited: I meant "gun rug", not "range rug".

Don't forget the H&K P30L comes in a LEM trigger option as well if you prefer that. I confess I own a P30S V3, so I think it's a fine choice.

Have you also considered an H&K P30 40?

My brother just figured out where this place is too, and it's pretty close to him. Should be fun, can't wait until opening day.

Ok, but now you've quoted me. My original post has been updated.
