I've been lurking here for a while and thought it was time to say hello. I used to shoot 22's and shotguns as a pre-teen (60's) through high school. Just got back into the sport again last year.

 

I started up again joining a friend at the range. I finally applied for my FID at the end of January and got at the end of May. NICS only took a couple of weeks till I was able to bring home a slightly used Sig P229 Elite with Hogue grips.

 

32 days later I picked up a Smith and Wesson 1911E TA which is my favorite. 2 weeks ago I picked up a Ruger 10/22 after finally finding ammo for it (I now have a few thousand rounds). I've been renting various other pistols trying to decide what to get next. P2P are in process, but will probably take another month if not longer.

 

Love all the great info on this site so thank you to all the regulars.

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

     

    Checko, where do you go to shoot. My friend who got me started again is in Hillsborough. She's a member at Brick Armory and I'm a member at Heritage Guild. I usually go Friday afternoons (summer hours) with a few folks from work.

     

    Going back tomorrow with my nephew and his boys (aged 12 & 15). Met them there last Sunday and the boys had such a good time learning that they wanted to sleep over tonight so I could take them again. Range rules dictate a parent must accompany minor children so my nephew must tag along (not that he minds one bit) ;-)

    I'm a member of SCFGPA but its a private range and not accepting members at the moment. Before that I would travel to the bullet hole to shoot. Looking back I probably wouldve went to HG in easton.

    Welcome to the Forum!

     

    NICS only took a couple of weeks ...

     

    Sorry to hear that.  It should be 10 minutes

    Last two only took minutes. The first one was before they went back to call in. Walt at Hackettestown had my long gun NICS check done in about 3 minutes.
