I have followed a recent post on choices for a trap shotgun and would like to elaborate on it some. I have shot trap a few times using my Mossberg 500, so far so good Would like to get a gun more appropriate for Trap, Skeet & Sporting Clays I understand that at some trap places people are reluctant to be around semi-autos for fear of getting hit by a shell. Therefore I am settled on getting an over/under. I know each variant has its own specific characteristics, but right now I am pushing the budget to get one (multiple guns are out of the question). I could use some help on following: 1. Which stores in northern NJ have a good selection of O/U shotguns? 2. Is it worth buying one of the cheaper imports like a Stoeger or a Mossberg Silver Reserve? or by a used better gun? 3. What is you opinion about buying used? Like a used Browning or Winchester 101? 4. Who has a good selection of used O/U's Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Some people have a shotgun loaded with 00 for home defense (not for hunting) It would be a good idea to shoot it once or twice a year to make sure it works, and make sure you are comfortable shooting the gun with that ammo, so when the time comes (hopefully never) you are confident in the gun and your ability to use it. I also understand RTSP's desire to keep their range in good condition, wish there was a compromise.

Question: What kind of shotgun ammo is allowed at the range? Someone told me that only slugs are allowed. I really hope that is not true. If that is true I hope RTSP would reconsider that rule.

I was in the same position about a month ago trying to decide on my first shotgun I picked the Mossberg 500 combo and am very happy with it http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Default.aspx?item=51482&index=1&mfg=Mossberg&mdl=500&cat=2&type=Shotgun&cal=12+Gauge&fin=&sit=&pid=&inv= good price, great value expect to use for HD and trap shooting I do not think you can go wrong with the Mossberg

2 Questions: If Shongum has a 18 month waiting list isn't the question moot, of the 2 you really only have 1 choice Also how does Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club compare with CJ? - Wouldn't it be closer?

Beretta PX4 Compact is the ticket less recoil and more accurate than a Glock (IMO) also has a safety which to me is a plus

While I have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this new range, I have to say I am somewhat dissappointed in the terms of the membership and pricing policy. 1. Are there any other indoor public ranges that charge additional for rifle/shotgun? 2. $20/hour is higher than any other nearby places I know of, but I can sort of live with that for a new class act place. 3. Are there any other indoor ranges that charge additional for a second person using the same stall? 4. It seems $250/year for an indoor range is not cheap and $350 would be way overpriced It seems to me they know that there is a strong demand and are taking full advantage of that - this works inthe short run only. am I wrong?

does the membership include gun rentals?

I just bought my first shotgun - a Mossberg 500 with 2 barrels (18.5 and 28). I expect to use it for home defense and trap/skeet shooting I have some shoulder issues and therefore I am looking to reduce recoil The accessories I have identified are 1. Limbsaver butt pad - does this do enough? 2. Knoxx Compstock shotgun stock 3. Knoxx specops stock - is there an issue with cheek impacts? Any advice on which to use or experiences with these items would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance

Looking to get a laser for my PX4 compact. Any recommendations? Anyone use them on their PX4?

will you be renting guns?

I have a PX4 Compact Type F, I compared it to a Glock and liked the Px4 much better. More accurate, less recoil I think it is great. I like the safety (but this is my first handgun) Had a couple of FTF's the first time out. But then I cleaned/oiled and since then it has been fantastic, over 400 rounds without a single issue The only add on that I have is a Hogue Handall grip The mags that are being sold by CDNN are for a PX4 full size and stick out from the bottom of a compact. (I bought one and returned it) The only place I found extra mags for the PX4 Compact was at Beretta USA
