I took a trip down to Lakewood Friday afternoon to check out Brick Armory and Shore Shot and to try some rentals. I wouldn

Lorenzo,

 

It is awesome to hear that you had a great time, and it was worth the trip up and down. Feels great eh?

 

I am proud of both, BA and ShoreShot of the service they provided. Obviously, it was more, but it seems to me, the price was worth it to you.

 

the extra attention to safety, is something that I believe is here to stay, for the time being at least, due to the recent trajedy. at the same time, that is why there was no 1911 to test out.

 

Now to the guns.... it seems to me that the m&p fits you hand better versus the glock with the bite. Yes, the stock trigger is nicer on the glocks, but I do like the overall fit on the m&p. I had a pleasure of shooting a few, and it fit my hand quite well. I did own a glock for a short time, and while it was a great shooter, precision wise, it hurt my hand, and after a few rounds, the accuracy would go down as I was not able to shoot it comfortably. Once again, it is not a fault with the gun, it was merely that the gun didnt fit my smaller hands.

+1000 on that, I am sure there was always some sort of briefing/talk with any renter coming in off the street at SS & BA before, now more formalized, and a condition of renting, I'd think.

correct, amongts other things. =P

I probably won't make it there till April sometime, be interesting to see what the changes are.......

Lorenzo. A very well thought out review of the ranges and guns. Thanks.

Although, I still keep thinking about a 1911

Nice review Lorenzo.

Was at SS Saturday morning. They just started members only 8-10am on Saturdays. Really great since it gets kinda crowded on weekends. Have been going to SS since about Nov. Basically chose it on price and selection. It never ceases to amaze me (a newbie to shooting) how nice each and every employee there is. The service to members and renters is great and they are extremely helpful. Sometimes I spend just as much time hanging out talking with other folks and employees as I do on the range. It is really great to have the range so close to home.

 

Have yet to try BA, but will probably go soon. Thanks for the comparison.

I have shot at both. I like Brick Armory better. JMO.

As a newbie who will be going there after my basic training course next month, I welcome the extra attention to safety. I wouldn't want to screw-up.

Glad to hear your experience was a good one. The facility's at BA are great. I have to give Shore Shot a try.

Test drove my XD9 today at Shore Shot. The people there are very friendly and the facilities are nice. Phil (I think that was his name) was very helpful. Will definitely be back. My first time in an indoor range. The shock waves were very intense. The guy next to me must of had a canon. i definitely prefer the outside range (Fort Dix), but SS is just 10 mins away.

Come on Tuesday nights. It has been pretty good the past few weeks. Look forward to meeting you.
