Ok if some of you don't know Truglo has released their new Mil-Spec TFO's. The new sights called TFX are now available and yep I was the first one in the country to get them. I wanted to give you guys a better look at the sights from todays photoshoot. Before you say anything, this was a...

Heat then a good set of screw removal tools. Once you strip the head use a screw removal bit. In the shop I have had to do this a couple time for customers once they damaged the screw.

A day after I said these were not released yet and I finally got a box from Trijicon. I paid for these back in Jan at the shot Show. Finally the Shield's and XDS sights showed up.

We'll I take that back, How amazon beats firearm distributors amazes me.

They have not been released yet, the first ones may ship in 10 weeks. By the way Trijicon has been saying 10 weeks since the Shot Show in Jan. The website has been saying 10 weeks for a couple weeks. Released is when they actually ship, or get them out to dealers/ distributors.

If his fiber optic rod fell out, that is different from the Tritium vial. The vial is buried deep in the metal housing and still glows even if the whole plastic fiber optic is removed. Truglo has a great warranty, take the sights back to who installed them. They should replace the sights, and...

The Shield specific ones have not been released yet. The Shield and XDS ones will come eventually.

Let me clarify. Rust once it starts will not stop.....if you leave it on its own. If you ignore it it will not go away. If you clean it, kill it and prevent it, then yes it can be taken care if. I have restored some guns that were in Katrina after a month in that ****. Even though the metal...

I have been predicting this for two years. Each Shot Show hoping they finally release a 45acp.

I am do not know if you are asking a serious question or being smart. I will take it as you really want to know. The striker block is a drop safety, basically just like a Glock this safety is being pushed down at all times (unless you pull the trigger)and in the way of the striker so the...

NO that is not what happened. The sights were factory and had never been removed before. Everything was factory. The customer sent me the slide to install a set of after market sights. This was discovered as I was removing the factory rear sight.

The customer stated the gun had never been wet, the wetness you see in the pictures is oil. (I do not see any evidence of salt) I have actually seen others that have rust in the safety, but I always just wiped it out since it was minimal. And never though twice about it until I say this one...

Everyone that owns an M&P pistol needs to take a look at this article I just wrote. The scary thing is that it was a 40Sw Shield. And with all of the recent kabooms of 40 Shields, this got me thinking that my customers gun could have been next. In a short time his gun would have been too...

The problem is that is seems that S&W changed the way they do the Melonite process. On the early Shields you just abrasive blasted the black off (this would not remove the melonite just the black top coat) and then Glass Bead the metal for the smooth satin finish. All M&P pistols are already a...

Please feel free to take the link down if not allowed. But I went ahead and did a write up and some good clear pictures to show the difference. and How both look like on the Shield: http://www.tacti-cool.com truglo modifies mp tfo to fit shield better
