T-Bill - Thanks for getting the thinker going. I think I will try to lay a dryer sheet along the entire base and make the necessary cut-outs for the scale plunger and whatnot and see how that works. Too many tools and other water sensitive items to mist the area. Thinking back..my father and a buddy had a part time Auto Body Shop back in the 70's. In the paint booth, they used to wet down the floor to prevent dust from kicking up and I remember him telling me that static from the car would draw dust particles to the paint. They used to ground the cars and actually on some jobs positively charge the spray gun (DC) to get a better adhesion. (Which I do when I DuraCoat metal items).

A-TEch...Had a Lee Auto Disk...sucks compared to a Charge Master. The Lee Precision Drop I own several that are set for my match loads and then put aside...for the price, it wasn't worth the time trying to get to that level of precision. But neither can compare to the Charge Master. As far as running your dick across it...well if you have a piercing like I do, you can get static to jump to that surgical steel. New meaning to Lightening Rod. You can ask my wife about winter static. bhunted...you really can't ground an almost all plastic unit. I thought about it. NJ Pile-It...I actually have them on two separate benches that do not touch set-up in an L configuration. I use a 4 stage press for my plinking pistol rounds and by the time I make the cycle, the powder is measured. The timing between the two really couldn't be better timed. Even when I am running 308/30-06 for my semi-auto's, after I full size, send them for a spin on my electric trimmer to size and put back in the press, the powder is ready to go. Really like this Charge Master. PK90...We are working on it. Bagarocks...Sorry but I don't speak yer and ya.

I am using that thin aluminum pan. I have noticed in the past that powder dropped out of the tube on occasion when I pulled the pan to dump it into a case onto that black plastic disk. Now I realize static was pulling the some powder out not me bumping the unit or grains making an escape. I sprayed both the aluminum powder pan, the black scale pan and wiped the entire area with a cotton cloth with the spray on it. I'm not a shit-house reader either...I squat, drop and roll. I'm a very efficient man who does just about any task with a sense of urgency. FWIW - I reload out in my shed / shop that has not had any heat going since we finally have been above freezing. The humidity is general in the 60-70% range. My cigar humidors do much better out there then in the house.

Plastic components and static just go together. But today I had a new situation. I use a RCBS Charge Master and was reloading some 9mm for plinking with a 4.0 gr load. After a batch of 50, I went to take a morning dump and came back and noticed my powder tray had the load up to 4.4. I'm thinking WTF. Throw a few sample loads and all come in at 4.0. Then I sit and watch...the static was actually drawing the powder out of the trickle tube and into the tray. An old habit I started was lining my powder hopper with Dryer Sheets to prevent powder from sticking to the walls. And makes it much cleaner and easier when done to dump the remaining powder back into the original container without all that cling. But I have never seen static actually pull powder out of the tube. So, I sprayed my powder tray with Laundry Anti-Static Spray and wiped it out and dried it real good and that seems to have resolved it for now. Anyone aware of a clean, non-residue anti-static spray for reloading?

Thanks for intel.

You made a good choice....either way. I was issued the 92FS when I was in the CG and also had the option of using the 1911 as we were in transition then. I liked the 1911 in MY hands. I tried the 92 again as a civilian and went with a similar issue for the CG a Sig 229 Elite 40, which I also have a 9mm barrel for and a 22LR upper for. I also like Glocks and own a few. But as a duty weapon, the Sig is my go to. FWIW - I would have no concerns having my go to as a 92 or a Glock. There is a reason why these 3 keep showing up in duty holsters across the US.

Zimmerman v Martin....the democrats will keep trying until they assemble the right team to fabricate enough evidence to indict.

Face it...the low-info voters read rags like the Star-Ledger, Asbury Park Press, Trentonian, etc. All these left leaning editors make sure the liberal message is on the front page. Many people only see and read the top half of the paper as it sits by mass transit machines, news stand stacks etc. Then they turn on the 'news' and the same agenda gets the same sound bytes. Most of these voters only turn out because they think they can win. IF they are convinced (or duped) that they will lose, they won't go to vote. They want to say we won. The job for big money is to send a message in targeted neighborhoods is that you will lose the next election. Take their hearts out of the fight and they won't show up to vote. Keep it simple...3 or 4 big failures or promises broken. DON'T promise anything but an opportunity for more jobs. In other words you will have an opportunity to work compared to decreased benefits...your call.

My guess is that it was tabled because of pressure outside the state. I think some national power-broker dems put the ka'bash on it and are worried that NJ will truly paint what Dem's want to do. And if, if, CC gets more national exposure, it won't help mid-term elections for them.

Cold War Vet here....the CCP just screams commie to me. IDK, this doesn't move me in any way.

I bought my 715 in stainless when I was first stationed in Alaska back in 1985. I figured if the AK State Police chose a 357 with 125's it must be the right call. I had the trigger worked by an armorer on base and was on my side on the ground and in flight all most all the time. It still shoots incredibly well.

G19 fits my hand perfect. My G27 leaves my pinky wrapped around the bottom of the base which works for me. I have XL hands and long fingers. Unless each of your fingers is like a sausage, you should be fine.

No question excellent round. But when you have 4 kids, time (and money) management is very important. I also want to be able to pull up to a retail box store and expect them to have it on the shelf. Especially if things get sour. I doubt you can name 3 stores that normally would stock it. I mean before all this mayhem. We all know trying to find 22 / 9 is like trying to find a good looking 21 year old virgin in Alaska. But, to me it is an in between round like a 40 S&W (which I have a few of). CQB - 5.56. Beyond 100 yards I'm going 308 or 30-06. And considering something like 90% of combat engagements are under 150 yards, the 5.56 works. If I need to turn cover into concealment, the 30 cal family does a fine job. Good round....yes. Easily obtained....not yet.

Even if you do reload, converting the cases isn't that easy. I considered it, and then decided not to.

For our most recent rescue, we got a cat that was part Siamese. We decided to use a Chinese Take Out menu to pick her name. #36...aka MooShu Chicken / Kitten. With a dog, perhaps a Korean BBQ joint menu? Our vet and his staff laughed their asses off when we brought her in and what kind of name was that?

'Sale' Report...Got there at 9:00 after dropping my son off for LAX practice. Parking lot jammed and they are providing shuttle service from another parking lot about a 1/2 mile up the road. I went in very specific, Small Pistol Primers and 22lr ammo The line was about 10 deep for 22 lr ammo. Strict limitations on ammo 4 boxes of 50 or 1 bulk box 325/500. I nabbed a 500 Remy Turdbolts for $45.99. For sale? Yes. But not ON sale. 1k Fed SP Primers...$49.99. Again, Not a bargain. There might be other deals going on. They had factory reps from various vendors. Bring cash because they have registers set up in various places to take cash, but if you go plastic, be prepared to wait on a lengthy line. In hind sight...I would have passed, but I was 10 minutes away anyways.

Thanks...I will stop by there tomorrow morning.

Sako makes quality stuff without question. Odds are you won't find aftermarket stuff for it because it will be almost perfect out of the box. After sending a few rounds down range from a Sako Tactical, I found myself 'needing' a Sako. I elected to buy a Tikka T3 and kit it out for my personal likings. Smooooth bolt and probably the best factory trigger I've pulled on. Accuracy is as expected. That is a beautiful rifle and for a couple more Franklins, you are getting Sako quality versus the more mass produced products. But, for a rim fire...that is pricey. If they had this in a 308 / 260 Remington / 22-250 I'd be selling blood.

Pizza Bob...nice stuff from Beltman. I just might be ordering an all black with seven holes in 1.5".

Me too. Added it to the cart and then gone with HaHa you're beat message.

And its gone...11 minutes too late.

I went with the 1.5" because I wanted the thickness. Dress / suit pants tend to have the smaller loops, but jeans dockers take the 1.5 with ease. I also use 1.5" in my instructor belts and what not. For me that size is a good compromise. If you are on the job and carry a metric ton of crap, then the 2+ gear belts make sense. If you are just slinging a pistol and a few mags, I think the 1.5" is a good across the board.

Your time is worth money. Support your local guys. Saving $25 to drive an hour or buying off the internet doesn't help the local economy.

I've heard way too many horrors about dealing with them. They are on my avoid list for sure.

I have one of the non tapered 1.5" brown leather, brass buckle, shown for several years. It is thick. Some dress pants belt loops are maxed out with a single pass thru and can't handle the additional material that comes back around after the buckle. It is so thick, that weaving it thru a Safariland belt loop holster is a PITA. Using this belt IWB or with a paddle style holster and decently made cargo pants (5.11 or similar), Carpenter / Blue Jeans and Dockers with robust belt loops is wear it excels. When you are dropping a deuce, or tucking in your shirt, it is nice because your rig doesn't capsize.
