Your First 9
My first was a Beretta 92FS. I know I lot of people like them and its a great gun them but I hated it. Now have a Glock 17 that I love. Bottom line your not gonna know what you like until you live with it for a while... for what it's worth I was a Glock hater but have since seen the light.

Gunbroker.com vs local dealer
I do not have money to burn but I always go with my local dealer unless it's a used firearm. For those few extra bucks I get personalized service with no hassle or risk. All I have to do is tell him what I want and he does the rest. For me it's worth every penny. Plus supporting your local dealer is just the right thing to do IMHO.

How is ammo shortage affecting you?
I reload 38, 357 magnum, 40 S&W and 45 so I'm good there. Never thought I would have to start reloading 9mm but looks like I have no choice now. Have enough to last a few months. Maybe then I can score some primers. What really hurts is the shortage of 22lr and 22 wmr. Can't reload that and the prices right now are outrages.

Anyone ever use Handgun Hangers?
I use them and they work great. The same company also makes a neat plastic rod and velcro system for long arms that will double useful space in your safe.

Savage Arms 64 GXP
I recently purchased my first 22 and it was a Savage 64F. the cheapest 22 semi auto they make. I really like it. My shooting skills are only average but 50 or so rounds at 50 yards with a cheapo BSA scope replaces the bulls-eye with a hole the size of a silver dollar. I will admit that the Ruger 10/22 is a little better but cost almost twice as much. I like the Savage so much that I have since purchased a 93G and a 93 BRJ in 22 magnum.

What range to join in SJ
Telco in Atco. Hand gun range is 25 yrds but you can do a walk up if no one else is on that range or if others agree to do a walk up with you. Also a 50 & 100 yrd range. Private range but allways open to new members. Personally I love it there. Been a member for 10 years.

question
IMHO only and this only applies to civilians. Never volunteer information to a LEO. And never admit that you have firearms in the car even if you are legal. (To or from range gun store etc.) And don’t be fooled into thinking that a spirit of cooperation on your part means anything to the officer. Remember that any and all information you give can and will be used against you. They cannot search your car without a warrant. And unless there is a dam good reason on their part no judge will approve one…I was recently pulled over on way home from the gun store. I did not buy anything but I did pick up an AR15 catalog that was sitting on my front seat. “I see you have a gun catalog, do you have any firearms in the vehicle” My answer “no” and it would have been no even if I did. Officer went back to his car and ran every check he could probable do. 15 minutes later I received my ticket and proceeded home. When it comes to LEO’s the less you say the better off you will be. Oh, and by the way this advice comes to me from a close family member who is an LEO. And he’s is a Sargent with 30 years’ experience.

.22 Rifle - Bolt or Semi-Auto
Savage 64 semi auto 22lr. Under $200 for a base model. Mine has had zero malfunctions. I also have a 10/22 that is just as reliable but cost a little more. I love them both.

NRA membership and flood of junk email
This is why I will never renew my NRA membership. Nothing but constant junk mail and phone calls asking for more money.

So... are you a "handgun guy" or a "long gun guy", and why?
Long guns. More accurate, more fun & more relaxing. Plus I don’t have to wait 8-12 weeks for the police dept. to issue a purchase permit every time I want to buy one.

Hi-Point Carbine
I have a 40 & a 45 model. Way fun, accurate and zero malfunctions. Until all this craziness started they could be had in the $300 range. Now they are selling for $500 on secondary market. I like em but they are not worth that much money.

Less Accuracy Using Surplus Ammo in 91/30
All good ideas. Much appreciated

Less Accuracy Using Surplus Ammo in 91/30
Yes I think I'm gonna ditch the scout scope. I also took my m44 with me which has a peep sight and it shot better to point of aim than the cheapo scope. What do you think of a red dot? or should I just stick to irons?
