I'm beginning to believe your actually Melvin.

 

[pudhjk1]

No , Not Melvin. Inside Joke Im sure.
Ive spoken on phone to Iberia Ohio
re the jc 40 cal, . I was impressed with their information they offered, an what they could still do on the old JC's 40's. An what literally parts that are long out of production an they no longer have.
mainly lower reciever an barrels.

Im very impressed with a Firearm Manfacturer that will Do The Things HP an Affiliates do..
Have a safe one.

Well I bought a new JCP 40 several years ago for the high price at the time of $165, I think. The wife just shot it two days ago after asking if it was a 9 MM or a 10 MM. She was not impress with it's looks or weight. She was impressed when she shot it as accuracy always impresses her. She noted the "Junky" trigger, and marveled that she was still able to shoot it well. I did have some grip tape around the grip.

Welcome pudhjk1, Lackland and FE Warren in Cheyenne are the only two US Air Force bases without a major runway. (Trivia) Amazing that Lackland does all the AF Basic and many different MOS Courses

 

[pudhjk1]

Tks, . Ive been eyeing carbine.

Tks! I spent some time 6 weeks, at San Antino TX in 1979, Lackland AFB,

Welcome fellow brother. I was at Lackland during the summer months of '73.

Ya might want to call up MOM about that new 40 you just got. If they don't have any parts to fix, they can't/won't warranty it anymore. So, you might want to get as many replacement parts (springs, magazines, firing pins, etc) as you can lay your hands on, or else it'll be finding parts on Ebay or a gun site that might have some break-up parts to sell.

 

[pudhjk1]

Yes Brother, I was ther in 78, yes indeed.. Best thing I did To Make me A Man.
Long winded here, Excuse that
Im Piddling around with this Old JC40, just to. Get in Low $, an learn the ropes, with MOM, an forum members here. Its not much, however buying American when I can makes me remember the old days.

Tks 4 the tip. I would like to ad a realtively current C9 mm model pistol, with a 9mm carbine as well eventually.. with the Price of ammo at least the 9 mm is more economical than my 40's... I have a S An W MP 40 full size. , I do like the Big Boom ones as well.
Her Action is smooth, trigger good, safety works. Slide not cracked. On outside. No rust anywhere I can see so far.
She looks old, cared for Old, Not BMW care,
Chevie care,. I have kept old charity cases off an on for 46 years. I just got into The Hipoint thing, . Just proud their USA made an still Making an improving and Expanding
. I did in fact speak to Iberia MOM,
Couple days ago, Apparently Hes had a bit of loose barrell in the old jc40's, he brought that issue up as he talked. Said Hell fix the loose barrell for me, . "Got a 3/32 roll Pin Punch comin Monday". . Ill break Her,down MondayI do have a bit of a loose barrell from my inital inspection.
Your right Hes permantely out of magazines, barrels, entire lower reciever. Some other parts he may have. He did say to look an buy magazines, parts,hed send me springs."Saw a Package deal of $ $95.00 shipped on ebay of a broken down jc40, . Will wait an see What MOM does first, I got the Impression theyd do what they can , til She Breaks what they Dont Have. Very impressive, nobody does .
Ill get Her up an Running an keep in car an or my motorcycle , an shoot sparingly, she seems well broken in at her age to say the least
So its kinda Sorta ,They look an do what they can, from my impression. Which is a good sign for the Future of current an future owners.if MOM hang in there.
With covid, recession, etc. Those under 200..00 brand new Hipointz may outpace the 200.00--900.00
Sooner than later.
I"ll post Her Journey as time goes on.
