M&P 1.0 .357 sig compact, tru glow sites, crimson grip, apex trigger workx, wolf springs, stout but safe loading of longshot powder xtp 124g missles. 1405 fps avg. ring the steel at 100yrds all day.
hurts just to look at that disaster. 30 yrs of tid bits tucked in what a shame. been there done that. on the bright side the upgrades and reorg ideas now have a starting point.
words of wisdom to share. when you scoop up the heaps and try to separate them take your time. later recheck the...
RPG, thanks for the reply. I will say there is merit to most of your statements. I agree that no bullet or sight change will correct this piece as it's an obvious machining error. it's now boxed and on it's way back to the birthplace for some "tuning".
finally had a chance to fire my new bodyguard .380 bug. put 40 rds. of wwb and 10rds. of corbon 90g through it without a hitch. really want to like this punch and pull little guy.
two concerns stood right out:
1) it shoots two 1/2 foot low at 20 ft. poa was dead center horizontal. two 1/2 foot...
love my M&P357c. when we are one, the bad guys done!
ain't no more spendy than a box of 40's or 45's. i reload and costs me less than a box of cheap 9mm.

not my picture. but i also have done this to my don hume 715. fits my M&P357c with crimson trace like a glove. i also have a galco n3. both are comfortable and adjust position easly for various activities.
i own both of the pistols in question. i shopped around and fired quite a few rentals before i bought the sr9c last june. i then bought the M&P357c a week later. they are both fine weapons. both are nearing the 2,000 round mark. neither have had any problems that needed attention. the trigger on...
alot of good advice here. you didn't mention if these were rentals or a friends guns. one of the big offences i see with range rentals is, their feed large amounts of cheap ammo and rarely cleaned (if you want to call it that) till there is a problem. you'll have a hard time hitting with a...
the start of this post was the concern of primer flatting/hatting with low velocities with a starting load of powder. now i find that i do have a headspace concern. how much of a effect the head space has on the primer problem i don't know? anyone have an actual published s&w spec.?
when i was digging around for some spec's. i can across this site page. pretty good basic smith info. how good the specs are i don't know. i didn't come across any printed smith data.
