I went last year, you are right, it's a joke. One guy was selling a used base model 10/22 for $200. I bought a new one at Dick's that afternoon for $189.

I guess technically you are right Ketel1. The 26 and 27 are 1.18" thick and the 30 is 1.27" thick. I believe that is only about the thickness of a penny different though.

My favorite carry gun has become the Glock 30. It's the .45 in sub compact version. (Same size as G26) If you are going to carry a G26 or G27, you might as well move up to the .45 if it's the same size.

Blue Trails is $20 per day? I just assumed it was hourly like the rest of the place.

Any one know of a place for trap shooting...other than Blue Trails? That place costs a fortune.

I'm pretty sure that place is about 10 minutes from my house but I've never been there. You got a website? My searches turned up nothing.

Mattabassett open carry friendly?

I'm going down to Mattabassett on Saturday morning to check out the steel plate pistol match and I'm wondering if open carrying is allowed there. Some clubs have a policy against it but their website doesn't mention it. I'd like to not cause a scene by breaking a rule like that. If anyone knows for ...

I was in two Dick's sporting goods yesterday (Meriden and Plainville) and both had a healthy supply of Blazer in 9mm, .38 spc, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.

I was there last Saturday with my wife for her first shooting experience and the place was crawling with terrorists. Those jerks kept offering her tips and different guns to try out. Such scumbags!

I'm in the market to join a club this year and I'm looking into Mattabassett in Berlin. Any members here? I've got a few questions if anyone has any info.
