need different powder
I have had good results with WSF (Winchester Super Field) and Maks loves the stuff. I just bought so VV330. I will make up some test loads when I can. Update: This powder meters well but the loads are very erratic with high ES and SD. I tried uploading but the results were still disappointing. I will keep searching for a better powder.

Here is the MidwayUSA listing: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=657597 Be sure the safety clears the sights. Your smith may have to mount them to the right a bit.

Ouch...
1) LOL! 2) I was going to post that if he had listened to me, this would not have happened. His other mistake is he drew the pistol straight up too far. Once it cleared the holster, he should have pointed the pistol away from his body. 3) At least some one listens to me. 4) It pays to listen to the Col.

Buckmark owners, you need this tool
Here is his email address: [email protected] I sent him a personal check and received my tool quickly. The tool works great and the only tricky part is getting the slide back on the receiver. You have to compress the recoil spring, put the tool on the recoil guide rod and release the spring. Don't forget to put on buffer on the rear of the rod and be sure it is facing the correct way.

Yes. After I started using reloads, my 92FS shot low. I had Mastadon install adjustable rear sights. Check out the Mastadon forum for photos. The sights only needed minor adjustment. PS: Here is the thread: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22324-gunsmithing-done-by-mastodon/

No sympathy here. I shoot my 92FS in USPSA and I won the Production Class last month. (okay...the really good guys didn't show up). If possible, start with a close easy target but if you practice and take a little extra time with the first shot, you will do well. One guy shoots a DAO (double action only) Sig and he does well for a neebie. BTW, using a duty rig is a real disadvantage since the mag pouches have closures with snaps. +1 for the Blade-Tech DOH holster.

transporting a firearm that doesnt belong to you
Don't do that! They are cops, not attorneys and if you tell them somthing that leads them to believe you are in violation of the law, you could be arrested. Besides, if you were arrested in another area, your defense of "my local PD told me it was okay" would be worthless. Contact Gary Needleman in Boonton and get the facts on the law. Be safe - after all, we're in NJ.

My USPSA Cart
I use the Stanley FatMax 15 in. Pro Mobile Chest from Home Depot. It's a toolbox with wheels that are about 6" in diameter. You can sit on it so you don't have to carry and set up a chair.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
It's an industrial building but it only has a drive-in door in the back or at least it looks like a drive-in. It looks like a new building that was started but not completed. The two-story area must be a mezzanine level. It looks like the perfect building for a range, long and narrow. Most newer buildings are more square. You guys must have done a lot of seaching to find this building because it's a great fit for the use as a range.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
Cedar Knolls is a post office address and a section of Hanover so same difference. Horse Hill Road is a possible location but I don't remember if there is any vacant land.

Based on this post alone, I have to meet you. You my friend are a pisser.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
Wow!....new construction. I did not see that one but with the trades being so slow, I have to guess you got a good deal. Like others have said, the early weekend hours are key. Get up early, get in a little practice and head back home to the chores. My only suggestion is to shift the weekday hours back an hour. I usually don't get home until six at the earliest. Evening practice would be great. Even in the summer, Shongum and Cherry Ridge are a no-go due to the traffic on 80.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
Yeah. I was thinking along Algonquin Parkway. Lots of vacant space there.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
Still fits. There are two-story industrial buildings.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
I'm a commercial real estate appraiser and I live in Parsippany. Let's review the clues: - Close to 280, 80 and 287 - In Morris County - The building has space for nine ports and the lot has room for expansion. My analysis: - It has to be an industrial or retail building. - Given the surplus on the market, it is an existing building rather than new construction. - It would not be in a retail strip center or multi-tenanted industrial buildng since neighboring unit occupants would freak. Therefore, it would be a free-standing building. - Given it has only nine ports, it would be under 5,000 square feet. - The town has to be flexible and what tax ratables so they would accept a gun range. - A gun range is a distination so it would not be on a major retail corridor such as Route 10 or 46 unless it was one of the less desirable sections. But my guess is a secondary road or industrial area. Industrial area would be good since there would be no residential neighbors to complain about noise. The towns that fit are Parsippany, Hanover, East Hanover, Morris Plains and Montville. Morristown is unlikely as they did not mention Route 24. While I live in Parsippany and hope it's here, most of the building inspectors are real pains. My guess is Morris Plains. I think they have some old industrial buildings that no one wants. An industrial building with low ceilings could be bought or leased on the cheap.

I was hoping for USPSA matches but I thought that would be too much to ask for. If you want to host USPSA matches, count me in. I am an RO and I put on an introduction to USPSA matches at Shongum. One thing to consider, you have to schedule any matches so there are no conflicts with other nearby matches. A range in my area would be soooo sweet. I already told the wife I am joining. Okay...the wife said I could join.

I'm in Parsippany and belong to Shongum and Cherry Ridge but if you guys are so close, I am going to have to drop one and join your range. Or maybe I'll add a third. I am in real estate but I have not heard or seen anything about this range. I bet I have driven by it.

Thanks. I have two worthless, useless pieces of junk to sell them. They will help finance my upcoming new gun purchases.
