I'm curious to ask since you are a new convert. What are your feelings about the trigger between the Glocks you have had and your new M&P and the ease of shooting?

I'm no expert, so let me point that out in the beginning, but I will tell you what I do. After every range trip, I clean and lubricate no matter how many rounds I fired. If it's my carry gun and it wasn't one that I shot during the week, I will field strip it, wipe it down and re-lube. With...

Congratulations. I have a love/hate relationship with my Shield. I am starting to go into love mode this afternoon, though. Either way, you will enjoy having a very reliable and comfortable to carry pistol.

I carry 124gr HST, but I was considering Critical Defense when I first got my Shield. I had the same question as you as far as which I should be using, either Critical Defense or Critical Duty, especially the +P load of Critical Duty. I contacted Hornady and asked them, and they said that I...

That was perfect. Exactly what I was looking for, only better. Thank you so much.

I have the Ruger 1911 as well. You said you have Hogue grips on it, but how do you think thickness of the grip with the standard wood panels on it compares to the grip thickness of your M&Ps? I'm just your typical 9mm primary carry guy. Why carry 16 rounds when you can carry 52? :)

Thanks guys. My main worry is about the width of the grip on the M&P 9. When I look at the specs, it shows the width to be 1.2" compared to 1.3" on the 1911; however, when I'm looking at it, it seems to be bigger than the 1911, probably because of the swell in the grip. I'm just worried about...

I have a question for those of you with both a 1911 Gvt model and a full size M&P. How do they compare in size? I have looked at the spec's, and it seems like they are almost the same dimensions as far as height and width, which are the two that I am mainly concerned with. However, I have seen...

$5 a rental? I have great envy for you right now.

Thanks. I was worried at first that some weird bug had laid eggs in my gun, and that got really worrisome since that gun is inside my pants every day. Then I thought about the paint thing. I had always used Ballistol on it but just started using M-Pro 7. Guess I should be careful around sights...

Quick question. Is the little lever that you flip down to disassemble the pistol if you don't want to pull the trigger supposed to be painted yellow? I was cleaning my Shield today and found little yellow bead looking things scattered about the interior. I have just started using a different...

I like the Mitch Rosen 5JR. I have one for my 1911, and it holds it really snug. The good news is that they have one for the full M&P line up with the exception of the Bodyguard as part of their Express Line. That makes them about half the price and cuts out the wait when ordering. The bad news...

As everyone has pretty much been saying, it all depends on your body type, you clothing style, how your clothing hangs on your frame, etc. It also depends on the way you feel comfortable as far has the weight, length, and width of something you're going to be hauling around everyday...

I used to worry about triggers a lot almost to the point of obsession. Now that I've gotten more experience shooting, I don't pay as much attention to it any more. If I find a gun I like, I can get used to any trigger. Some are easier than others, but part of the fun for me is the work it takes...

I'm waiting to see some of the new Federal HST .380 rounds on the shelf. I love it in the 9mm and 45ACP, so I am guessing that it will be my choice for .380 as well.
