A Colt or S&W revolver for sure. Blue finish with wood grips look real pretty.

Do these home owners even have a chance for a lawsuit? I worked at a small airport (Allaire Airport in Wall) when I was younger and they were constantly trying to get sued by newer home developments in the area for plane and helicopter noises and low attitude fly overs. Every law suit was dismissed never made it to court because the airport was there way before any homes were in the area.

The forum members that are always whining and crying how bad NJ is and how great PA is will for gun ownership will disagree with you and probably be ripping your comments apart real soon. Although they will have a lot to back up how much more gun friendly PA is. If moving to PA works for people and their families they by all means do it and live long and prosper. To the people who can't move or are to afraid to move please spare us the constant complaining and bitching. Stir up some courage get a damn Uhaul and move already.

Only had PMC left but in two grains, 115 and 124. I got the 115 gr. It was $19.99 a box which isn't bad since I have seen other local shops getting $25 a box. I know you can get PMC for like $15 a box online but to support a local shop I'll donate a few bucks for convenience.

I stopped in there this morning and picked up 5 boxes of 9 mm. They usually have a good supply of pistol ammo. They have a sweet used Glock 17 for sale for $399. Would be gone if I had a permit to burn. I picked up some range paper targets too. Cheapest in town for 10-25 cents a sheet.

I just saw a used glock 17 for $399. It came with two mags and box and was pristine condition. I would snatch this baby up if I had a permit on hand.

Same goes for Shooters in Little Egg Harbor. I usually shoot in the mornings so most ranges I go to are not very busy at those times. Although I once went to Shore Shot around 10:30 am and there was a wait on a Thursday about three months ago.

Lol. The place is always empty on the weekdays every time I went there. You would think that he would be happy to fill a few lanes up for $10 per hour. Maybe sell some ammo, targets and supplies as well.

I would have bought your orange stickers. I could use them for my paper targets. lol

Yea definitely not a money saver since you can get a used Glock for the same price but if you only have one permit it is a good way to get caliber versatility. I personally prefer individual caliber pistols rather than buying barrels and mags for the same gun. Next spring I plan on applying for another 5 pistols permits to add a few more toys to my collection. I am sure a Glock will be one of my purchases.

As much as I love shooting, I would never move from NJ to PA because of their lenient gun laws. I don't need to walk with a gun on my hip and don't have the need to walk in a gun shop and buy 4 pistols at a time or the need for large capacity magazines. I have several friends who moved to PA from NJ and they are miserable. They are not gun owners but they moved because they thought things were better on the other side. Now they wish they could come back but sadly they admit they can not afford to live in NJ.

I like BA's range better than Shore Shot even though it is $5 more per hour. BA is much more spacious and has better ventilation. I always bring my own ammo so can't quote price but a few months back I saw a sign for $40 for 50 rounds of 9mm for non members and $20 for .22 lr for 100 rounds. That could have been crazy shortage prices though. Shore Shot does have a much better selection of rentals for sure.

Yea, most of the ammo I want is out of stock. I was not sure how quickly they replenish their stock. I may just pass on membership there and stick to Cabela's for my online ordering.

I was thinking about joining Sportsman's Guide store member program for $30 on my first order. They seem to have some good bulk ammo deals and have lots of coupon deals and free shipping on occasion to sweeten the deal. After the initial member fee it seems you can recoup that money back pretty quickly with coupon deals. Are their normal shipping rates reasonable for ammo and other items? Does free shipping deals cover ammo purchases? How quick do they get items shipped to your door after order is placed? And most importantly, how is their ammo inventory for the most part? It seems that most of the bulk deals (for 9mm at least) are currently out of stock. Do they get stock in regularly? Besides ammo what other shooting supplies and outdoor items do they have good deals on? Any member input would be great.

If you see a used Colt .357 you should buy if it is not too banged up. I have a King Cobra and is is one sweet gun and the trigger is super smooth. Call some shops and maybe you can get lucky and find one. You can find them on gunbroker but you will pay more then it's worth. If you win the powerball lottery then buy a Colt Python which is arguably the best .357 ever made.

I have a 75d compact I picked up last month that I can't play with until my B-day comes this weekend. I do fondle it often. lol

Yea, I was itching to go but it seemed silly to me to pay $25 to shoot in the dark when I can shoot tomorrow for free. If it cost $10 for members I would do it for sure. If they have a Christmas tree target shooting in December I'll try that. lol

Yea please pass the word so nobody else joins. I don't want a bunch of new members clogging up my lanes. lol To not join a range because they won't allow you to enter with loaded mags is pretty ridiculous. It takes me 2 minutes to load 5 mags or 50 rounds. When I shoot I am in no rush. I do agree with you getting upset because the instructor told you that it against the law to have loaded mags in a vehicle. Saying this store policy is one thing but lying and telling shooters it is a law is just plain stupid. For the record, I have yet to see an RO come over and inspect guns and mags before shooting and I have been there almost dozen times so far. If they don't recognize you they will come over and greet you show you how to work the lanes light and target mover.

Worth the trip but you can also check their inventory online as well. See above post for link.

+1 for P&K in Manahawkin. I used my last permit to buy a CZ 75D compact last month. Paul is the owner and his wife/girlfriend is usually the one in the shop most of the time. Very nice couple and easy to deal with. Had the CZ listed for $600 and they took $50 off. They seem to have their inventory marked at list prices but they do come down on prices. Usually have a good supply of ammo too at decent prices. Last I checked it was $20 for Eagle and Federal 9mm. I also buy some of my range targets there. Super cheap like 10-25 cents a sheet. They also have a good selection of nice preowned pistols and rifles on hand. Still waiting for my B-day to take the CZ out. You can see their inventory listed on Gun Broker which is also on their website. Is is usually very up to date. When I bought my CZ, the listing was taken down within minutes. Here the links to their store and inventory. http://www.pkfirearmsnammo.com http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/BI.aspx?IncludeSellers=1971047 Lol I found the Gun Broker CZ listing on my saved searches..... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=366778047

Official grand opening today at Shooter's. They had a grill going with dogs and burgers and refreshments being served. Also a moon bounce for the kids. Place was packed with people mostly in the firearms department. Was about a dozen people in the archery section with 4 people shooting as well. Had a line of people getting memberships for the gun range. ( so much for my own private range. lol) Maybe a special on memberships too but I did not ask. They had some specials going like $20 boxes of pistol ammo ( 5 box limit) and some long guns on sale as well. They also had M&P 15 rifles selling for $599 but don't know what these are going for currently so this may be normal price. I caught a glimpse of the Zombie glow in the dark shooting and looked pretty cool. I stuffed my face and walked around a bit and had a great time.

Nice pick up. You should treat your turtle to a nice meal for helping you out. lol

Awesome post. Thanks Bob. Keep the tips coming. You gave me a tip of a Colt King Cobra at Tanners a few months back. I picked it up the next day. Love love love this gun.

This Friday, Saturday and Sunday shooters will be having a zombie target shooting event. For $30 ($25 for members) you will get two glow in the dark zombie targets and will shoot under black lights in the dark for an hour. Seems cool but a little pricey. Anyone going? They will also be having their centers grand opening that Saturday as well.

What about an older blue Colt revolver? Any Suggestions? Just want to shine her up without doing any damage to the finish. I currently use Hoppe's #9 for my semi-autos.
