As far as shooting “ranges’, most people here would agree that MY NEIGHBORHOOD kinda fills the bill, as does Phil Marx’s…LOL

It’s not a LEGAL, SANCTIONED range, though, if you get my drift.

H&H Firearms up north has a small indoor range.

Wow! Great responses! Especially “whatever feels good.” My wife will love that one. It almost sounds sinful. I love the suggestions and will follow through. Thanks all! BTW, what dealers and shooting ranges do you recommend?

Steve:
Depends on how MUCH you’re willing to spend…

If you wanna go w/ a “saturday night special”, you can get a 9MM for under $200.

Glocks are VERY popular, and there are some nice S&W models out there in all “flavors”.

I like the Walther P99 series, as well as the CZ100, the new S&W M&P, and the Ruger P85, but that’s because I have smaller hands.

In a long gun, get a nice 12 gauge w/ some varied types of shot. Dicks has a very nice H&R 12 gauge shotgun in flat black (Pardner pump)..for ONLY $159. It can hold FIVE rounds to boot!

Above all, get whatever FEELS GOOD for YOU. Is it easy to load, shoot, aim, etc.

Take some time and make a good call…you life “might” depend on it.

Happy hunting and safe shooting.

I carried a Colt .380 for years. Bought a used Glock 27 late last year, spent some time at the range and am a convert Glock fan. I carry the sub compact for size reason’s, but truly love shooting the full size Glock’s of all calibers.

Can’t go wrong with a Glock!

How about http://www.glock.com/english/glock23.htm for starters. My personal favorite is the http://www.specialoperations.com/Weapons/Pistols.htm. I used a http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m9.htm for years and liked it but the http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/M1911A1.htm was the most fun.

But it’s a personal choice when it comes to handguns.

I now know for sure what I am going to put on my CHristmas wish list before it becomes illegal. The question is what is the best kind for a newby. Any recommendations??

Here is couple of things to file under the old hat …..

1- Bill Ayres, has supported since his bombing days, for the general public to have no guns. Which fits in with Obama’s real view. I guess only terrorists should have weapons. Disarm the general public and people like Ayres and his likes can run around the country free to wage their war.

2- In the Illinois Senate Obama repeatly voted against enhancing the crimes of people who used a gun in the commission of the crime.

So it looks like the general public should not have guns but if a felon has one it OK because we hold it against him.

The golden rule of the socialist movement is to disarm the general public.

I couldn’t have expressed the sentiment better. Not a surprise to old Tommy Boy. I’ve had his number for years.

Thanks for informing everyone of Helmke’s real colors – still can not believe this a-hole talks about anything “conservative”.

Please Fort Wayne and interested Americans – don’t be sucked in by guys like this, they are NOT your friend.

Mr. Helmke – do the right thing and admit your a liberal – and you support the democrat party and that you were never a real conservative.

Quit hiding behind the republican moniker, it is not cool.
