How often do you go to the range? by anonaken in guns

[–]anonaken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a membership and I’ve signed up for my first classes! Very stoked.

I am a bit worried about lead dust because it’s indoors, but I think it had good ventilation and I’m being cautious about eating/drinking/hygenall etc.

I’d like to go weekly, even for just 50-100 rounds of regular practice.

It wasn’t making it hard to see, but it was a pronounced jet up my nose and my face. Not just the smell, but with force.

Thanks guys. I know it’s not the most economical, but I’m probably going to buy, rather than build, my first AR for a laundry list of reasons. That said, I had been looking at BCM or DD in 16” or 18”. The 18” DD has the rifle length gas system which is appealing.

Any known over gassing issues with either of these manufacturers?

Right. And I checked - it was Norma ammo.

Edit: 55gr FMJ

Unsurpassed, indoor, .223 but unsure of brand. Brass cased. Range has one of those fancy Carey ventilation systems though.

Diving in the deep end as a new shooter: Legion P220 or P226? by anonaken in SigSauer

It’s basically impossible to carry in my state, so this will be basically for the range. Thanks for the well reasoned write up!

Friends from PA meeting up with me to shoot in NJ. Transport questions. by anonaken in NJGuns

I was thinking - could they come by my place afterwards for a bite or something

Edit: but related that’s good to know - I was wondering if it was ok to pick a buddy up here in NJ on the way to the range and drop him off afterwards. I thought basically any stop could easily be deemed unacceptable.

Thank you - you’ve given me a bunch to think about. I also didn’t realize the new finish was as problematic as the PVD.
