    Identify Model 41 Grips?

    Any Model 41 gurus able to identify these grips? I finally got around to replacing them and wanted to offer them up for sale, but I don't want to ask something ridiculously high and be laughed at...as you can see they've been used and have some chips and nicks, but overall are very serviceable...

    M&P magazine availability?

    I just walked out of a local gunshop where they have a rack of 15 (Yes I counted) M&P 9mm 17 round magazines...that's the good news... Bad news is that they end up around $45 out the door with tax! What a rip off.

    Preferred cleaners and lubricators

    Every enthusiast should try "Ed's Red" at least once. Nothing is more satisfying than home brewing a cleaner that rivals brand names that cost upwards of $3 per ounce. Homemade Firearm Related Products

    Are These Lines on my N-Frames -- Normal or Early Stress Cracks?

    I'm referring to the "machine mark" the "crack" that you point out is a shiny scratch that the camera made look more obvious than it is in real life...But you sir...have some EAGLE EYES!! I didn't even notice that mark until you pointed it out. LOL.

    Are These Lines on my N-Frames -- Normal or Early Stress Cracks?

    So I was about to pack up my 625JM (625-8) to be sent in for evaluation of what I'm concerned may be some sort of stress crack or metallurgical issue, then my 627-5 Performance Center returned from warranty work, and now I'm not so sure...The 627PC returned and when I compare it to the 625, the...

    Markings: 627 Performance Center

    Just picked up a "new to me" 627 Performance Center. Gentleman is a board member here, but didn't know until I met with him FTF. Great transaction, smooth deal...and an overall good dude to talk guns with...Anyway, I'm curious about the markings that are on the crane (?). They don't match the...

    No honor among thieves?

    Just paid $15 for steel cased .45 at WM today. Picked up brass cased 40sw for $18. I'd never buy ammo from GB unless dirt cheap...they can choke on it.

    Range Report M&P 40 Pro...Wow!

    First 10 shots at 10 yards. Jaw on the ground. Probably the best first shots through any pistol in my life. Decided to keep hitting the same spot. The few fliers that are there occurred when I didn't allow (couldn't feel) trigger reset, pulled...nothing...allowed a longer reset...pulled...

    First M&P...Opinions Needed About Upgrades

    I've been around the block with firearms, but picked up my first M&P today. In full disclosure, it was between the M&P and the XDM when I was looking for a new pistol. I've got several Glocks, Sigs, 1911's, CZ, Hi Powers, and revolvers, but never a SW auto. After a comparison, although I liked...

    Added an XDs9 to the fold

    Picked mine up Tuesday...it's great...one raggedy hole is achievable with strict trigger control at 10 yards.
