Congratulations. All 3 of mine were born there. Nice digs. It's like a fancy hotel.

Welcome neighbor. I've got a 13 y/o daughter who's got her certification to babysit. I know what it's like...been at CJ since last March and my wife has only joined me twice.

Pretty much what Nick said. When I got my Dillon 650 I ordered an extra die plate that is dedicated for my depriming die and a bullet puller for my spaz rounds. I attached a cut up milk jug underneath the "scupper" holes (lack of a better term) of the case feeder to catch any dirt or debris in the brass. Otherwise if falls on the work bench and can be vacuumed up anyway, but I hate to vacuum. One pull, one piece of deprimed brass. I purchased a wet tumbler from heavyopp and couldn't be happier.

Sounds to me like your on the right path. The added bonus of the 92FS is that it will accept the 22LR practice kit, and you don't need a permit for that. It's expensive at $300 + but it's nice to be able to practice with 22 and convert back to 9mm. Sometimes I'll just shoot mine as a dedicated 22. I'm not a revolver guy and so that was never an option for my second gun, but if you like them, I think it's a great idea.

The stove piped round was the one I chrono'd. This happened yesterday, 6ish...low 80's, low humidity. I just made a mental note of the VFPS and then checked on the gun and Andrew because we were both surprised at the stove pipe. It's an odd occurance and we'll have to see if it happens again.

My son was operating the firearm. I will discuss the possibility of limp wristing with him tonight. It would be out of character for him, but given that this shot was the final round in chrono session and could very well have been the cause. I'll also check out the extractor but I doubt that his the case. This kid keeps the gun clean.

OK, here is the 411. M&P Pro 9. Hand loaded ammo 125 GR RN (cast) 4.1 +/- N320 1.125+/- COAL VFPS right around 1,000 Countless rounds fired through this gun at higher and lower velocity FPS and never a stove pipe. It did happen once before with my 92FS, and I'm thinking that perhaps just a bad loaded round? I've loaded close 5,000 rounds so far and it's happened twice that I recall, once (last night) with the M&P and once (I think) with the 92, but I'm not 100% sure.

What causes them? Stove pipes, that is?

Check with George at Plumstead Arms. He's Nuclearheli on the board. I was looking for a PX4 and he went out of his way to try and find me one. I ultimately found one used, but haven't forgotten the effort he made in trying to help me. He's a good guy.

I think he's trying to remove the soffit and not cut into his joists. Looks to me like that joist is large enough to take a hole big enough to fit the pipe, and so heavyop's suggestion of some couplings to move the whole thing up would work. I think you have drill a hole larger than 1/3'rd the size of the joist, but I'm going from memory 7 years ago when the inspector looked at a hole for a wire drilled through a small joist and said we just made it. Put another way...don't take my word for it...get an opinion from someone who knows what he's talking about. lol

That's your story, and you're sticking to it, huh?

I shot the new (to me) PX4 at CJ yesterday. Had to shoot from low ready but man, do I enjoy that firearm.

GASP! For realz?

I had the opportunity to hold a G17 last night. I won't say I didn't like it. I actually hated it. lol I want so much to like Glocks but they just don't fit my hand well and for me don't point very well at all. Now, my new to me PX4. God, I LOVE that effing gun!

You've got a 40 cal carbine? Or can you shoot pistol in this event too? I thought it was a carbine only?

Police buy back gun from Detroit used a lot? Nah....couldn't be.

And the congregation says "Amen." There will come a time when I too will have a Glock, and I too will probably like it. They are like the little black dress of guns. Only uglier.

Jim, do me a favor and remind me of the round count, and the cost for a non member and a junior non member (me and Andrew) to shoot. I've only got one 22 carbine so we would have to alternate.

1/4? That's like being a little bit pregnant. You're an Old Bridge guy Alec, but that's OK...the kool kids at CJ welcome you and your goofy gun with open arms. : )

If the new capital contribution fee isn't a deterrent that room should be. Seriously, when I signed on it felt like a freshman hazing or something. lol Welcome to club noobs. Remember to pick up your brass. :squideye:

I tooked...they don't have anythign I want in stock.

30 minutes from Middletown. How long it is from Morristown to Middltown I can't help you with...

Early afternoon. Naturally, depends on how many shooters. I think it's safe to say you will be wheels up by 14:00, likely earlier.

I'm not familiar with the 96. I do own a 92FS and love it. At some point I'll change out the D spring like just about everyone has been telling me to do. I don't own anything in 40 either but plenty of people shoot the round. I went with 9 because it was the least expensive and in the year or so I've collected close to 10,000 pieces of brass and setup a reloading machine based on that caliber, so changing to 40 isn't something I'm going to do anytime soon.

The Detective from this town wanted to conduct the entire interview face to face, so it would seem they take it seriously. My town only mails out a form.
