    Night sights for M&P .22 Compact

    I usually carry my S&W M&P .22 compact when walking my two Jack Russell Terrorists on my property (about 5 acres in a heavily wooded area). Because this often occurs in the dark, I would like to add night sights. Know of anyone that makes them for the compact. The M&P .22 compact is a great gun...

    Sight Picture Question

    mmmmmm...not exactly. I have been teaching shooting for just over 50 years now. There are many firearms that have sights set by the factory for the point of aim to cover the target. This is commonly called "combat sighted". As an example, all Sig Sauer pistols are factory set as "combat...

    Laser: Yes or No & why?

    Here's another positive reason to consider a laser. I am a 40+ years police firearms instructor. I have a Sig P938 with a factory laser that i normally carry every day. I would not ever attempt to use the laser as an aiming device. I have really good night sights on the Sig and they work just...

    M&P 22compact

    Using CCI mini-mags, it terminates armadillos expeditiously I have about five acres in very rural SW Missouri. I walk my wife's two Jack Russells every night before heading for bed and the S&W .22 compact is a great companion. It does Armadillos at night and the odd, occasional copperheads...

    Best Milsurp Mausers...

    Here is my 'bent bolt' Spanish FR-8: It was done by a gunsmith for a previous owner. I have two, the other is a traditional straight bolt. I actually prefer the straight bolt. But, both are excellent firearms out to 400 meters (longest range I have access to) and would make an excellent deer...

    Any Browning HP fans out there ?

    I carried this German Pistole 640p (FN HiPower made for the Wehrmacht in 1943) for the entire 32 months I spent in Vietnam as helciopter crew chief/door gunner. I had to leave it there with another guy in my platoon and forty-six years later he tracked me down to return it:

    Need help choosing an AR

    Suggestion? I am a retired Army Infantry senior NCO and also a retired cop. If you really want to learn what the best ARs are is to learn to assemble one yourself. You can buy the lower and a lower parts kit and assemble it (using a YouTube video there is a million of them "how to assemble")...

    Nation wide ccw permit

    I am a retired cop and a retired soldier and I really REALLY do not want the Federal government in control of anything. It's not like they have a tremendous success rate in anything they control or force down our throats

    Build an AR15 similar to a USGI M-4 carbine?

    But, the military specification remains the same. I was using the chart to demonstrate that very few manufacturers build to military specification. FN is now the manufacturer of record of the M4 and has also started building the M$ (civilian version) for the civilian market. Here is the Army's...

    Build an AR15 similar to a USGI M-4 carbine?

    Sorry but that is a very wrong misconception of the Internet. I am often amazed that people believe that the Department of Defense would attempt to buy cheap inferior equipment for the soldiers, sailors.Marines, and airman of America's armed services. Your sentence should have read, "the M4...
