Default Gun Ranges

Picked up a new toy, wondering where everyone goes to shoot (backyard would get old)..

I know of Bryansteens and that place off of plantation, but wanted to hear experiences, maybe their prices or somethin, or other places..

ZeR0, when I get it in (shipping) we will have to go shootin'!

Haha, yea, Fincastle might come in at a close second.. but it would be fun to have a "controlled" environment with nice targets or somethin..

Default Re: Gun Ranges

what did you finally decide on? I've been contemplating picking one up for protection and something to do occasionally.

I picked up an FN FNP-9

It's a DA/SA 9mm, great gun, got a killer deal on it.



Other guns I was looking at, and still love are..

-CZ P-01
-Witness P Carry
-Taurus 24/7 Pro

What were you lookin at? Check out www.cdnninvestments.com and DL their catalog, you can get good deals there too!

EDIT: I decided to buy on gunbroker.com after going to every gun shop I could find, all but 1 had crazy high prices and weren't willing to negotiate, the other tried upping the price on me when they sold the one I was looking at I tried hard to support a local shop but I'm not gonna pay ridiculously insane prices!

We don't play around in Fincastle, I chase 500 lb wild boar on the daily with my new pistol... it's pretty fierce, especially when I wear my bandana.
