OMG...I'm in shock. WallyWorld actually had some ammo on their shelves (that I could use) for a change.

That is all...

I have been looking at the Ruger LCR .38 which I had the opportunity to shoot this past weekend and I loved it, but I'm not a 100% sold on having it as a back up. I was also looking at the SA xdm 9 or xds 9 compact. Still kinda new to firearms but I am looking for personal defense and something I can grow into. Since NJ is a huge PITA to purchase handguns, I would like to do it right.

Already planning on buying an SA 1911 .45 Loaded or might jump up to the Operator.

Go to a range that will let you rent guns. Try as many as you can. See what you like and go from there.

Blueface- Thanks for the pics. Yeah the shield being thin is what is drawing me to it along with I believe the xds. I'm just hoping they arent too thin, since I have fairly large hands. Might be taking a trip to PA next weekend to Cabela's

NJ only has a few public ranges, there are none in my area. The closest ranges are in PA which are about 40-45 mins away which is fine by me. Every time I have been to the range I have rented something new. As of lately though no one seems to have 9mm, or .380 ammo so no one can rent any of of those guns. I'm hoping that will be coming around soon as it seems that 9mm is coming back in stock.

Finished milling out my 80% billet lower. Turned out nice. I was considering some different finishes, but I might just give it a good buff and clear coat it. I really dig the machined finish.

My old neighbor back in MD. He runs a CNC shop, mostly military and high end racing stuff. Business has been a little slow so he wanted to try his hand at this. If you like more info, PM me.

Don't mean to brag, but.. picked up 500 rounds of 9mm for 24 cents per round. OK I do mean to brag :) It's steel casings but it's good enough for practice. Thanks Gunbot!
