Hey guys,

 

I've been mostly lurking on this forum for a while, and figured it was finally time to post an official intro. Right off the bat I must say this forum is an excellent resource, and I'm super thankful to all the contributers for helping me learn so much in a short time. Hats off to you guys.

 

I'm glowing a bit today as I picked up my first FID and Pistol Permit. Only 13 days, I cant believe it! The plan is to race over to Shore Shot this Saturday and try a few of the popular 9mm's and hopefully make a purchase. I've only gone shooting once, but I definitely caught the bug.

 

My only experience so far has been the First Steps - Gun For Hire class which I took a few weeks ago. I'm no pro, but I at least feel like I can safely handle a pistol now. Cant wait for Saturday and hopefully take a new family member home! I'm going into it with bias towards the Glock 19 (the gun I learned on at Gun For Hire)

 

Thanks for listening,

 

Ryan

Welcome from a neighbor not too far away.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Forum, G-19, nice all around gun, you can't go wrong with it in my eyes, but get other Pistol Permits because if you caught the bug with 1 time shooting and a Class at GFH you going to want more.

 

Also before you do go in with the mindset that the G19 is the one for you, do go to SS and check out the other 9mm they have and shoot them, you do get a NJGF discount at SS just by being a member here, and they are great to deal with and the RO's (I know Phil the best) are all fantastic with questions and advise if you ask.

Thanks for the advice, Harry. Awesome news that there's a NJGF discount! I see that the range has "members only" hours Saturday from 8am-10am, and then it's public after. Any idea if I'd be able to show up during those members only hours and get shown some guns? I dont expect them to let me shoot during members hours, but the earlier the better for me.

it's a beautiful thing, isnt it!? I cant IMAGINE waiting months, I would have died of impatience!

Greetings and welcome.

Not positive but the special hours are for SS members not NJGF members but it can't hurt to call and double check.
