Hope your son is ok!

I can't let the week pass without a mention of Bob Grant, who died a few days ago. During the 80s I was a regular listener and he got me through a lot of long commutes. Those of you too young to remember him probably cannot imagine a conservative talk show host who actually was independent minded, and willing to actually speak his mind even if it went against the party line. He clearly never made the huge cash that the Limbaughs and Hannitys make because he never was mean just to jack up ratings-and he never got in bed with the wealthy-he got mean when he was genuinely pissed off at the ordinary working person getting screwed. He was totally unfairly called a racist-I got the sense that he was color blind and accepted everyone, as long as they worked hard, were honest, and cared about their family and community. Yes I know 2 amendment was not his issue, but he was more of a 70s and 80s figure when this was not as big a deal as it is now. I liked listening to him and miss his voice.

Okay brothers, how do you solve the age old problem- every time I buy ammo, sets me back in savings for another gun. More ammo or more guns?

Nice

Just a note to say how much I have enjoyed going to Bullethole recently to shoot. They are clearly working on customer service, the RO's do their best to be pleasant and helpful (even with a lot of new shooters crowding the range, and their prices remain low. Not the newest or the best, but gotta give them a lot of credit for working hard to please.

I have a 6 inch dan wesson in 357. Beautiful gun, smooth trigger. Getting harder to find at a good price.

Just finished American Gun by the late Chris Kyle. This is an amazing book by an amazing person who left us too soon, Highly recommend.

I liked the Glock, always wanted one- but was too big for my medium hands. Just found the g36 single stack. Heaven is real, brothers.

hi! looking for recommendations on a 357 lever gun to go with my revolver any favorites out there?

Great forum- yes- out of state hunting, bro lives in Colorado, lucky guy

Great advice as always. Possibly deer hunting in my future, so want to go with center fire

I like heritage guild in Rahway. I have bought guns from them, they occasionally have a really good selection of used guns, their prices are high but not insane. The manager is a really nice guy. What I can't understand is why they haven't figured out the whole raising the standard of customer service thing that other gun shops are clearly now doing. With the exception of the manager, the other employees tend to look right though you and pretend you aren't there. They seem to pay careful attention to a few regulars but don't seem too interested in anyone else in particular. They seem bored or uninterested. The addition of a nice young lady at the register has clearly grabbed the attention of the guys who work there, making them even less likely to care about a customer who walks in. Big difference from the atmosphere in Easton, where I have found that they will spend as much time as necessary to make you feel knowledgeable about the gun you are interested in, and show you comparable models. I say this as one who really likes the Rahway shop and the manager and wants to support NJ LGS. Wonder what is going on?

I have to observe that there seems to have been a clear "Gun For Hire" /Woodland Park Range effect in Northern NJ. GFH devotion to customer service seems to be catching on. LGS's that seemed indifferent to customers are vying with each other for helpful, pleasant service. I am amazed when I walk into some of the stores that only a year ago could care less (particularly if you were just looking) and now rush to be helpful and informative. I think this is good for gun buyers, the LGS and the shooting sports in general.

also mixed experiences there..and their prices are usually high, but fair I walked in to pick up a gun some time ago and the fellow at the counter didn't even look up from his newspaper-all he said was "NICS taking ten days" and went back to his reading however-they are almost always well stocked with a good selection and they actually respond to emails- a big plus I think one of the problems that gun store owners may not often realize is that here in NJ buying a handgun is a 2x or maybe 3x a year experience-after enduring incredible hassles and waiting-and we walk into the store filled with excitement-however-for them we are just another customer in a long day

appreciate the suggestions, many thanks

I have one more permit to burn and would like to know if any one has seen any used single actions available in North or Central Jersey? with gratitude
