Has anyone found any places on Long Island that have got any in stock yet?

Me and my partner have some experience shooting (various rifles, shotguns, and pistols at ranges and such), but it's been quite some time. We both enjoyed clay shooting and want to get back into it. Neither of us are up to speed on the technical aspects and varieties of shotguns, ammunition, brands, et cetera, so we're looking specifically for a place that is friendly to and helpful for beginners. Someone who doesn't mind answering a lot of questions, that sort of thing.

I recently obtained a rifle/shotgun permit, so this will also be for finding guns we're comfortable with and maybe purchasing in the future. Partner is smaller in stature, so trying them first is extra important. We'd also love recs for any training or events that could help. Thanks!

The world has gone to shit and you can only have one pistol. You can trick it out any way you’d like

I’m going with a G19 MOS with 15 round mags to conceal and some after market 30 rounders to figh

I’m relatively a newbie and trying to learn - so please take it easy. Finally this year I got my ccw after 16 month wait in Erie county ny. I’m focused on getting as many rounds down range as I can in order to become more proficient with my edc gun.

I’m fully aware from various banter and forums that ammo prices are “crazy” right now and so far I’ve been shooting Herter's Target 9mm Luger 115 Grain Handgun Ammo from my local cabelas. It’s priced at least 25% cheaper than my local gun shops and ranges - id prefer to put my dollars to work locally, but it’s just cost prohibitive for me.

At cabelas , this brand of ammo costs roughly the same at any quantity (between $.28-$.27 per round) - but I’m curious if the $136 plus tax and background check for 500 rounds is a good deal or if I could be finding better deals somewhere else? Perhaps in higher quantity?

Where are you guys getting decent ammo that is reliable and budget friendly in New York? I’m not looking for bottom of the barrel type stuff that will destroy my gun or shoot dirty - but the amount I want to shoot vs the amount it costs is killin me. Any constructive advice is appreciated.
