I did some searching, and it looks like I would be ok with 4.5 - 4.8 grains of HP 38 at 1.125" OAL with a 115 grain plated RN. This would be for a 92FS.
OK now you have made me curious.
Is it your particular Canik or is it The Canik?
Is it The dot or maybe a little of the dot and something else in addition? How about The factory trigger? What about The AS9100 Quality System? Does any of that play into it?
So how much of it is the Canik and/or other things and most important, is it repeatable? How about it in The Tanfoglio? Or The Glock (34)?
I ask partly because I'm curious and also partly because I have assembled all of the necessary hardware to put together a CO gun using The G17 as the platform, The EGW dovetail mount and The Burris FF3 for the target acquisition device and I'm to put if bluntly, worried that I'm making a fundamental error with my 9mm competition handloads. Thanks in advance.
So, you tried 17-18 powders
My brain is leaking out of my ears at this point. If you can't find a shootable 9mm load within 5 powders picked within an appropriate burn rate, you are doing something wrong. I say that a bit tongue-in-cheek, I understand some folks like the thrill of the chase and the more the merrier. That's not me.
I resemble that remark! I don't know how many 1 lb bottles of pistol powder I have in my inventory right now (maybe 30+). I like to experiment. I am in the process now of using up some powders that I will not restock, but I have data and knowledge of what will work in a pinch, if things get hard to find again.I understand some folks like the thrill of the chase and the more the merrier.
I'm retired and broken. I need something to fill the empty time. Also it is amazing to see the differences.
Sorry to hear that. I'm retired and breaking, hopefully slowly.I'm retired and broken.

That's why I also fish. I can keep enough SHTF stuff at home and still go out and pound on some bass without worrying about finding my next supply of jigs.

For me at least, fishing tackle is like shooting tackle. I simply enjoy collecting tackle. There was a time, actually for most of my life especially when my kids were in school, where simply buying a fishing license was a capital expense.
These days I have so many artificial lures and plastics and more than a few rods/reels that it hurts my head….sometimes. My fishing wessel is modest semi-nice, not something that turns heads by any means but big enough and fast enough to make the day quite enjoyable. LMB fishing in NE PA is at times a trial but like the shooting sports is a good clean past time and to be better than average requires some study and practical hands on experience. So I agree with Riccochet, the two activities share common ground.
One of the reasons I left the PNW for Texas is there are more fishing opportunities here. I've got a nice boat, tons of lures. Matter of fact I sold over 1500 unneeded crankbaits this last summer.
Fishing up there was always a struggle for me. Nockamixon, Wallenapaupack, Hopatcong. I never did good lmb or smb fishing up there.
I don't fish the NOX because there is a 20 HP limit on that lake. We do go to Wallenapaupack from time to time these days it's not bad there during the week but a bit of a hike from here. I live literally 500 yards from the Pine Run boat launch at Beltzville. It took me about 2 years exhaustive trial and error to figure that water out using artificial bait and it's a challenge no doubt about it. But that lake is packed with lunker LMB and SMB. Very hard to find as the lake is deep deep deep and filled with alewives plus on the weekends it's a zoo. They drained Minsi two years ago year to fix the dam and they put all of the fish into Beltzville. Once you figure it out it's great. They have tournaments there all summer long. But still I covet a southern LMB fishery.
I grew up on the Jersey Shore (Belmar) and live there 46 years (20 in Little Egg Harbor) and fishing was what we did. Oddly I prefer fresh water over salt.
