    Any legal MINIMUM shooting age?

    After making quite a few trips to the range over the last year or so, I've noticed that there always seems to be a kid or two per trip and I've occasionally been surprised at how young they are (all had supervision, of course). Some of these kids were shooting some serious looking revolvers...

    S&W 500 -- 10.5" Barrel Version -- Easy shootin'

    As noted in other posts of mine, I recently picked up the S&W 500 with the 10.5" barrel (the 'big' one of the bunch; most youtube videos of it show the 8 3/8" barrel version; you can tell the difference by looking at the barrel as the compensator on the 10.5" sticks out beyond the rest of the...

    Places to shoot in Northern NJ, near NYC

    I'm wondering if anyone knows of a few good places to shoot in New Jersey, within 20 miles or so of the Lincoln Tunnel. Currently, I shoot in Belleville, but it is an small range and gets extremely crowded shortly after opening on the weekends and isn't open late enough on a weekday for me to...

    HAND Gun bags / cases for 4-5 guns

    I have a decent sized handgun collection and it will no longer fit in the little gym bag I used when I had just the 9mm and 45. Can anyone recommend a single bag that could stow the below guns as well as have room for extra magazines (3-4 per gun, except the revolver of course), 2-3 pairs of...

    S&W 500, ammo question

    So, I recently added a S&W 500 (w/ 10.5" barrel) to my collection of otherwise semi-auto only handguns. My question concerns ammo. A box of Cor Bons, hollowpoint, 350gr, ran me $36 for 12 rounds at my local gun shop/range. Cabela's has 'bulk' 350gr ammo, 200 rounds, for $289...

    Getting 3 New Guns... Opinions please

    I'm in the market for 3 new guns. I think I've slimmed down my list, but am open to suggestions/comments. I just got my registrations in, so I can buy at any time (darned NJ requirements!). [For the record, I already have a Sig P226 in 9mm and a 1911 style Kimber in 45ACP] --- The first gun...

    Ammo caliber -- ease of buying // cost

    I'm getting 3 new handgun permits shortly (currently own a 9mm Sig P226 and a 0.45 ACP Kimber) and intend to get at least one 'small' gun. One item I've been wondering is if there are any calibers that are not easy to find and/or calibers that are uniquely expensive. I really don't want to get...

    Cleaning time...

    I'm curious as too how much time people take to clean their semiautos... I simply referring to a once every few hundred rounds cleaning on a basic breakdown, nothing requiring any tools. Myself, I tend to shoot both my guns at the range and then clean them both at once. I find that I usually...

    Looking for SMALL gun recommendations...

    With the debacle that was the 4th, it's now time for my 3rd... 3rd gun that is. I already have a SigP226 (9mm, full size) and a Kimber 1911 (.45 ACP, full size 5" barrel). I also have a spouse that will be very limiting in what else I can get. I figured my next 2 guns should be (1) a small...

    Finally... got permits... about to purchase Sig226 9mm + FN FiveSeven

    After waiting over 4 months, my permits finally came through (that's New Jersey for ya'). Anyway, I had posted on here all those months ago about what to get, and I think I've remained fairly resolved in my final choices, which are now just 2 (down from 3). I'm considering the following and...
