I can agree with you on the dealerships service costs, They seem sky high on that, at least Prestige in Turnersville is. They quoted me about 800 for brake pads all around, plus about 45 per oil change without coupons for standard oil.

What is a Toyota Prius?

I drive a 2010 Outback with the 6 speed manual. It's been a solid car that had some initial issues with stalling that was isolated to the manuals, ended up being a software related issue that took some time for SoA to develop a solution to. I have no oil issues as of yet, just turned 80k miles on the 2.5, it's not going to win many races, but I average 26 mpg, which I've heard is much better on the newer models. It's not the fanciest car in the world, but they hold their value really well and are about the best vehicle I've ever driven when the weather gets bad, made it to work through that nasty stuff last year. So yes, I would recommend them after my experience to this point.

I agree with several of the posts already, which is the reason I went and bought one for myself after firing my friends. It was tough to pass up the phenomenal Blue Label deal on the Glock, but I wasn't crazy about the feel of the grip on Glock, and everyone I know said saving $200 for something you plan on defending your life with was not worth it. The guy behind the counter (much larger than me) said he preferred the Glock because the H & K didn't fit his hand right, so it seems like some of the larger handed people don't like the grip as much. I fired the HK side by side with the 17, 19, and M&P9 over in Easton, and the trigger on the HK seemed to be from a different world than those others.

Actually, I have had the pleasure of being invited to a giant (~300 acres) plot of land with a lake in the middle of it way down in South Jersey that my friend invited us to do just that on. The actual property is a mostly undeveloped plot of about 1200 acres split amongst a few people. One of the owners and most of the neighbors are police that all know that is how the land was used so no one called on us throughout the weekend. We set up steel targets with natural berms (well sort of) on the other side of the lake at about 400 yards to test out a friends new AR. Plus set a "course" to go through with our pistols on that other side. I'll post a couple of pics of it when I figure out how to attach pics from my computer. If I get the invitation again there is usually an invite to bring an extra couple of people, so I can see what can be done between now and next summer / fall for our next adventure there. Edit - I think I have the picture now.

Thanks, I actually have fired at Fort Dix quite a few times with a friend (plus at work since I work on base, but those are different ranges). I saw some people talking about Telco, may check them out after New Years. Also trying to see what the deal is at Police Association in Berlin, nice and close, but their website hasn't been updated in years, and there doesn't seem to be much info out there.

Thanks for all the welcomes, just got the new purchase home. Good experience with Banger's in Winslow and glad to see some people down from my area.

Thanks for the quick responses and welcomes, still some people on late at night I see. I was looking at SJSC when I was shopping at Bangers, was hoping to find something with an indoor range too, but I can man up if I have to. Was also looking at trying to find out info about Square Circle since it's so close, but I'm seeing some posts about them not liking noobs too much. So I'll try to figure it all out soon enough.

Hi from Camden County in South Jersey. I finally broke down and ponied up for an H&K VP9 to start my handgun collection (actually reserved it to go get it tomorrow).I've been around different weapons for most of the last 20 years, but for some reason never got around to getting my FID and permits to purchase here in our state, but I finally fixed that in October. At a brief glance I get the impression a lot of the posters here are further north than me, but I'm here to see what people think of the ranges in South Jersey and hopefully get some insight on what else I'll be purchasing. Anyway greetings, and I look forward to being a part of the community here.
