    Just can't find the perfect holster for my 1911SC E Series

    Have you taken a look at Wright Leather Works? I have several from them, including one for my 1911SC. The predator is OWB and carries the pistol with a forward cant.

    Glocks

    If I could have one and only one it would be a Glock 19, Gen 3. Conceals nearly as well as the baby Glocks and shoots nearly as well and as accurately as my Glock 34.

    Waited 30 years for a 686

    Congratulation on your purchase! My first revolver was a 686-3 6" barrel purchased 30 years ago. Smith & Wesson got it right on the L frame. It is in my opinion the perfect revolver and the apex of revolver development. Fits my hand perfectly and boy is it a tack driver. This is one...

    Shield PD ammo

    I use Federal 124 grain +P HST's. I have found these to be very accurate in both my shield and my FS M&P. Recoil is snappy but manageable.

    .357 SIG/.40 S&W Accuracy

    I have shot my M&P 40 in IDPA and have found it to be quite accurate. When I swap out the barrel for the OEM 357 SIG barrel it shoots even more accurately and the 357 SIG is with factory ammo. I load my own 40 S&W and I have found mine to be very accurate from the light plinking loads to the...

    .40 Shield Kaboom

    I have heard that Winchester White Box has had some QC issues lately. I suspect what happened to your Shield 40 was an ammunition issue. I wonder if the unprecedented high demand for ammo has resulted in quality control issues. I have attached a link that shows another gun (AR15) that was...

    truglo tfo's?

    The TFO's are great sights but my TFO's on my M&P9 threw the front fiber optic less than a year after I installed them. Replacing the fiber optic on the TFO's is much more difficult than on a traditional fiber optic sight. The rear sights seem to be much more robust in terms of retaining the...

    Federal Champion 9mm 100 count $19.97 Walmart

    My favorite target round. MY M&P9 FS loves this round. I think the secret is out though - my Wal-Mart now limits purchases to 2 boxes and inventory goes quickly.

    shield failure to fire update.

    I ran Federal Champion through my Shield with no problems. My Shield also fed other brands with no FTF's - Black Hills, Blazer, Gold Dot and Federal Hydra-Shok. Very pleased that my Shield likes a wide variety of ammo and is not 'picky'.

    What holster do you hve for your shield?

    I ordered a DeSantis Cozy Partner. Very comfortable, as I normally prefer hip carry over IWB.

    New M&P 9 owner and already have a problem.

    I had the same issue with my M&P 40 Pro-Series. Initially the only way I could get the slide to release was by manually racking/releasing it from slide lock. After running 400-500 rounds through it the problem has started to clear up and now it just requires firm pressure to release the slide.

    Where are all the Shields???

    I got lucky after being persistent the since it came out in mid-April. Called a LGS last week and they had one and held it for me. All of the other LGS's sell them as soon as they come in or have a list. I was told by a couple of stores to be reayd to wait 6-12 months.
