Thanks for the input guys, I knew you guys would steer me in the right direction. I figured the ammo could be tough to find and expensive. I will pass on buying this gun even though it is so cool looking and cute. lol Like a beefed up .22 cal. Lots of revolvers out there to choose from. I get something to shoot at the range this summer for sure. Probably go with a .38 or .357 like I was originally shopping for.

Well I went to Tip's Hardware today and I finally decided to join Shooters Sporting Center gun range in Little Egg Harbor. I was able to save about $50 for the pre opening discount. The are projecting on being open this June or July. I figured I would give them a try since they are so close to my home. Lots of speculation whether you can bring you own ammo or if you must buy their ammo when they open. I think with the current ammo shortages they are going to allow members to bring their own ammo if they can't keep it on the shelf to sell. I don't have a problem with buying from them to shoot since I buy a lot of ammo from them anyway and their current prices on ammo are pretty good and members get 10% off as well. Just hope they don't jack up the prices when the range opens. Another plus is all of their memberships are family memberships and the wife and kids are included with no extra fees. Look forward to bringing the wife to squeeze off a few rounds and she if she likes shooting and maybe get her an FID and her own gun. Anyone else join or thinking of joining this range? The place is beautiful and it's HUGE. If you are in the area you have to drive by and check it out while it still under construction. It is a few hundred feet off GSP exit 58 so people can get in and out of their pretty quickly. You can also check out pictures of the plans and construction on their website.

I saw a preowned S&W model 31 revolver for sale and was wondering what you guys have to say about this gun. I wanted to get a revolver this summer but was leaning more towards a .38 or .357 S&W but his one caught my eye. What about the .32 S&W long ammo? Is it expensive and hard to find? Would I be able to get a rifle that uses the same anmmo? What models use this caliber ammo?

Just saw that code 43 flat does not apply to ammo sales. :wild:

Damn, I wish I saw that yesterday. Does this code expire?

Walther P99 Awesome grips and fits perfectly in my hand. The trigger is incredible and the reset is short and sweet. I have a Browning Buckmark waiting for me at my LGS. Can start NICS on May 8. I expect some enjoyment from that one too.

Interested. Let me know if this happens.

If you go to Shore Shot you should stop at Brick Armory and take a look since there just about right next to each other. Just remember if you rent you need to bring someone with you to shoot at both places. They have a minimum of two shooters to rent.

3 cents to ship a bullet? That's crazy.

10:20 am gone but it may come back. it did twice.

Got some, thanks. Still in stock HURRY

Sounds like you got a good deal. Was it new or used? .44 cal sounds like it will pack some punch with such a short barrel. Let's us know how she shoots. I guess you have to wait a week or two or the NICS to come in if you bought from a dealer.

Just got back from the range and fired 150 rounds in my P99. Went to BA in Lakewood. The place was empty only one old guy shooting .22 rifles there he left about 30 minutes later and I had the whole range to myself. The P99 feels great in my hand and shoots real well. My aim seemed to get better with each magazine and the trigger is so smooth. Did some double taps towards the end and recoil was still manageable. I used three types of ammo all 115 grain. Remington, S&B and Tula ammo. The Remmy and S&B shot identical but the Tula ammo was not that good and was pretty smelly and also had the most muzzle flash. No stove pipes from any but the Tula ammo had two rounds that did not sound right like duds but still hit the paper. I got nervous both times and dropped the mag and cleared the gun to make sure the round was not still in the barrel or chamber. It may sound silly since I did hit the paper both times but I am a noob so I did not want to take any chances. Anyone else ever have issues with Tula ammo in 9mm? Anyway love the gun and should keep me happy for a while. Try to get back out this weekend and work on my aim.

Place looks awesome. Looking for something outdoors for some rifle and shot gun shooting. Can't beat the price. Does anyone know how to get there if you are driving on 539 towards freehold? I drive past the national guard base everyday but wonder how to get over there from that road.

Isn't the .308 is a pricey round for target shooting? I was thinking of going with a .223 or .243 rifle to play with at the range for myself.

I was on my computer reading email's and I received an email from Midway that Tulammo 9mm was in stock. Literally no more than 5 seconds went by and I clicked on the link it it read that they were sold out. I have received other similar emails in the past but I did not see them until hours later so I knew that the stock would be gone by now but 5 seconds, a little ridiculous. What do they get like 10 boxes of ammo in and one person buys it all? Or does it sell out in store and the email is hours late. Has anyone ever been able to buy ammo using this notification system? Maybe this is just a ploy to get people to shop there there website.

This is high but not crazy like $100 and up on gunbroker. LGS had bricks for $35 the other day but they said they paid $32 a box for them.

Sent lou's an email but no response yet. I did not see one on his online inventory but I don't know If this is updated. Maybe they are closed on Sunday. I searched the web and nobody had a set for sale. At least this gives me time to save up some cash if one comes along.

+1 for the Buckmark. I have one on layaway because I have to wait for OGAM to pass on May 8. Gun is super solid and well made and the mags are very easy to find. I have not fired it yet but from what I hear they are tack drivers.

How much time have you got left on your permit? You might have to go with the extortion prices on Gun broker.

Congrats, that is one serious .22 rifle. Looks wicked. Beretta bad, Why? I thought Beretta was a reputable company. Is it a quality control issue?

Do they sell any ammo or targets there? Was it crowded? Looking to join an outdoor range for some rifle shooting.

Very nice. The only compaint I have seen about the quad is when switching barrels you need to zero in the scope every time. This wouldn't affect me at first because I plan to use non optic sights to start with. I can't seem to find the 4 barrel set anywhere. When and where did you buy it? How much did it cost you? Seems like now would be the perfect time to have such flexibility in ammo with the current shortages we are having. I also saw the CZ that swaps out barrels but you need to remove like 10 screws to do it. I love the quad because it is only one screw to remove the barrel.

Doh, missed that vital piece of info.

I just came across this brand and was wondering how they shoot. They are pretty expensive and hard to come by but I saw the Sako Quad could be had for around $750. (when it comes back in stock) I was looking at the "hunter model" online which has the sights on it. This gun intrigued me with the interchanging small caliber barrels with just one screw loosened. Any good or just an expensive gun from Finland?
