In just under a week the NJGF crew will be heading to Shot Show in Vegas. This year there will be 3 forum members going and will be there for the extent of the show.
So... any guns or aspects of the show you want to make sure are covered?
On my list right now are the new Glock twins, 43X and 48 and the new Colt King Cobra.
What else?

Anyone from here going?
Things are finally freeing up a tad here and will be able to attend. NJGF will be represented by @Krdshrk and myself. We will be attending the show and the invite only Media Day at the Range.
I do have one more invite available as part of our crew, although it is time sensitive. If you are interested in going, let me know. Dates are Jan 21st through 25th.

Howdy!
Just got back from Media Day 2012 for Shot Show. Holy crap, what an epic day.
Shot out to 960 meters with a 416 Barret, shot clays with 3 gun open guns, and $$$$ Browning shot guns, blasted steel with high end Sphinx IPSC guns, shot both semi auto suppressed Kriss Vectors, and Select Fire SBR Kriss Vectors, Suppressed 300 AAC Blackout S&W M&P 15 rifle? check. Wasted hundreds of dollars of Winchester zombie ammo? Check. Shot over priced HK, cause we're better than you rifles? Check. Shot the brand new Sig P224 and chatted with the lead designer of the gun? Check. How about a new pocket 45 XD Slim? Check.
Chatted with Jerry Mucilek, Rob Leathen, JJ, Taran, Rob Pincus, and all the other who's who in the shooting community.
Wayyyyyyyyy tooo much fun. Ask away, and will be sure to put it into the blog entry with some videos.
This is by far, the most fun Jon and I have had at the range. EVER!

Try some Norma NXD. Major wound channel and less felt recoil. Looks like those hollow points are hitting that feed ramp hard. I'd try a different barrel too to see if the feed ramp angle is messed up. -

Thank you all for your interest and feedback. I just got back from the range after doing another round of testing. Same two firearms, the Glock 19 and Glock 26. This time I used two brand new OEM Glock 19 Gen4 10 round mags I purchased about six years ago. I numbered them "#7" and "#8" respectively. In the G26, I used the X-Rite adapter as before. This evening I shot a total of 96 rounds (Hornady Critical Defense 115 gr FTX #90250). Shot 48 rounds thru each gun with an equal amount of new CD brass cased and older stock CD nickel plated, thru each of the two mags. Loaded each mag with only three rounds at a time to maximize the number of "last rounds" I would be shooting. Ie 32 mag insertions each containing three rounds. Experienced a total of three failures to feed, all on the last round, all brass cased, all with mag #7. Frankly, I don't think the case material matters. Nor do I think the mag really mattered given both were new. I took much better pictures this time. Various pics attached below. In all three failures the round appears to be getting hung up on the bottom of the feed ramp. The bottomline for me is that it is time to cut my losses and select/evaluate an alternative non-hollowpoint expanding cartridge. Given the approx 4% failure rate I encountered across these two rounds of tests, I not confident at all in the reliability of CD in my two intended carry firearms. The thought of encountering a malfunction at a critical moment in a self defense situation is terrifying. So some personal lessons I have learned: - Do test your carry ammunition in your carry firearms. Don't assume they will be reliable just because your firearms have been flawless with FMJ range ammo. - Use new(ish) magazines in your carry firearms. - Do practice malfunction clearing drills. Your life will depend on it. - Do carry a second magazine. Not just for more rounds but also in the case you need to replace your primary mag in the event of a malfunction. I will let everyone know what alternative brand/type of ammo I select and test. (Corbon Powrball (sp?) comes to mind.). Suggestions welcome. -
