Let me know if you need any parts for the restoration - I have a garage full of the small stuff and know where to get whatever you need. The Mustang is one of the few cars you can buy brand new one piece at a time (though not all the pieces fit like they should). The 65/66 are the easiest to customize too.

I was always told the only thing worse than getting old is the alternative. Having hit 50 I now know what it means,,,

I have a Ruger SR45 I might let go of...

What about states that don't require a permit? Does residency in those states allow national carry? Or is that a reason for non-resident permits to still be available?

I haven't seen this asked, so apologies if it's a dupe... If reciprocity passes, why would any state need to offer non-resident ccw permits? Might not work out so well for us...

Might try Tractor Supply if there is one near you. Sometimes they have the rebuild kits.

With the rights granted us comes the responsibility to know when and how to exercise them...

Another vote for the Ryobi sets - I've beat them to death with all the work I do with them. Only every broke one drill, and that was when I dropped it from the ladder onto the driveway. Otherwise, reliable as anything else and there are lots of tools available that use the same battery. Not an issue if you only want the drill/driver but it's a benefit if you ever want more than just that.

FWIW, HG was always fair during the shortage. They aren't the cheapest but they never increased prices when it was hard to get.

I don't know the rules for steel shooting, but you might also want to consider the Sig Classic series in .22lr - I believe you can get a P220, P226 and P229 in .22, then add a caliber x-change kit to convert them to 9mm, .357sig, .40s&w or .45 depending on which model you choose. The frames on the .22lr Classic handguns are the same as used on the centerfire calibers. I got the 229 a while back and added the .40 kit. Cost me less overall than buying the gun in .40 from the start, and I got both calibers and the ability to add .357sig and 9mm later.

Let's see - for the firearm stuff - some targets and a range gift card from my daughter and future son-in-law, a new range bag, travel gun cases, targets, a trigger-pull gauge and some grips for a 1911 and my new 629, and a .44 mag speedloader - all from the wife (and she has no idea what any of it is).

Hard to know when I first shot - I don't remember any specific time. My father was a LEO in Montclair back in the 60's and it's something I remember doing even back then when I was 4-5 years old. I always had bb guns growing up and shot them everywhere - woods, garage, basement. Boy Scout camp I was always hanging out at the range. I was never really "into" guns, they were just always around so learning it was natural - like learning English I guess... I got into it more actively about 18 months ago, for no other reason than I wanted to go shooting. I inherited some handguns from an uncle (ex-LEO from Chatham back in the '70s) and didn't want them to just sit in the safe. In the end I wound up selling what I inherited and starting my own collection.

I was finally able to get this out of impound. The OGAM timeclock countdown kept getting slower and slower... Anyway, picked it up Saturday and hit the range with it on Sunday. I warmed up with another revolver, then went to the 629. All I can say is WOW, is this thing fun. Has probably the best trigger in single action of anything I have. Went through 50 rounds. After the first three I had a couple guys behind me wondering what the hell I was shooting. To anyone considering a model 29, my vote is do it! I also did a bit of research on it when I got it home. It's a 629-1, serial prefix AZE, which I think means it was built late '80s or early '90s. It's got a 6" barrel, not the 6 1/2 I thought it had earlier. Also has a set of Pachmyr grips on it. If anyone has an original set they would like to part with please let me know.

You can call them and they will tell you your gift card number over the phone - no need to wait for it to actually arrive in the mail. I joined their buyers club, but if you have your order number I don't see why it wouldn't work regardless if you're a member or not. I've been taking advantage of their free shipping and gift card offers for the past week or so. Ordering something every couple of days using the gift card from the previous order. Works every time.

He's been to the range with us quite a bit. And he's still intimidated by me. Life is good.

He's a good kid, treats her well. But now he knows...

10 yards, Weaver stance, Beretta 92fs, 15 rounds, 147 Grain AE fmj. The day after my future son-in-law proposed to my daughter...

That usually says more about her than it does him...

We call that a "Jersey Burger" here...

still in stock. Thanks.

I've gotten ammo from them numerous times too. Also had an order duplicated - they sent me the order twice (was for a Kimber 1911 mag I got with a discount card), I called, they said to keep it, it was their error and wasn't worth the cost to send it back.

Anyone shot one of these? Is it a fun range gun or is it destined to be a safe-queen? Thanks

Now I've gone and done it! I was at my local FFL dealer picking up my new handgun, a Baby Desert Eagle in .40 S&W (but that's not the point here), and got to looking in the cases while they were processing the paperwork and NICS. Then I saw it... A S&W model 629 with 6.5" barrel. Calling to me. Yelling at me, actually. At a price I couldn't ignore. So I did it. It's mine, or at least it will be in 31 days when the state deems me responsible again. Yes I know, pictures, but they will need to wait until it comes home. Anyone have any experience shooting this? Thanks, Dean
