Yeah I think I'm definitely done with the pocket gun theory. I just never found one that I liked to shoot. I'd rather have a slightly larger/heavier pistol that I feel more comfortable with. all the pocket pistols I tried had the DAO as opposed to the striker fire action. I don't like shooting...

Actually it wasn't the front, it was on the side of the grip. When I gripped the pistol firmly, it was pinching toward the very top of my finger. The prob is that there is a small gap all the way around and it left enough room to pinch my finger. I don't know if sanding some off would make it...

went to the range today and rented the Glock 26 and 19 as well as the M&P9c. I love the way the M&P felt, but the Glock trigger was much better. The 26 was well worn in and very smooth, but the poor fit of the magazine with the pinky plate pinched my ring finger. Last thing I want in a terrible...

I am looking for a new concealed carry firearm. I want something I can carry daily and not be deterred by size or weight. I had a pocket pistol prior to this and hated the trigger action and kick. I am considering a S&W MP9 compact or possibly a Glock 26. The S&W has a couple round advantage...

Sorry no range report - been swamped with other things with no fun time to hit the range. However, I never had and FTF or FTE problems with stock springs. So far 0 problems from my rifle.

I just went with the spring kit for now. I wanted to see if it made a difference by iteself, and it definitely does. I'm sure with the trigger it is an even bigger difference. For now I have the springs only in. I plan on sanding/polishing my trigger in the near future.

Definitely follow the mags and ammo suggestion. Most of it is (as stated) preference. I like switching up scope, vs. laser, vs iron sights just to have fun. The JP trigger mod is an ABSOLUTE must in my opinion. just did mine and love it. trigger is lighter and smoother. more crisp feel to it...

Just installed my spring kit and wow what a difference ! I haven't sanded or polished anything yet, and there is definitely a big improvement. I plan on polishing up some of the metal pieces when I have more time. Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation, and to encourage those that...

received my springs and grip today. Hopefully will get time to put them on tomorrow. headed to the range to try them out on Monday. :D

Belt Fed - is that it to the instructions just sand a little with the 1200 then cycle through with metal polish or is that an abrieviated synposis ? My springs should be here by Monday, so I look forward to the improvement. Any particular metal polish you recommend ?

Just ordered my JP spring set and a Hogue grip. I'll be following the same procedures. Looking forward to the new feel.

Did you go with the 4 1/2 or the 3 1/2 lb springs ?

I know YHM make a stainless Mite, but I've heard it's actually louder than the aluminum version. Not saying all stainless ones are , just that the YHM one is. On the good side they are definitely stroner. Have to look into the Checkmate

Thanks guys. I'll definitely have to go with the springs. where's the best place to get them ? I've heard about people getting nailed on shipping for a little $10 part. I need to get a fore grip anyway, so might as well get them at the same time.

The AR uses the Tac16. It's a much heavier construction to handle the larger load and full auto fire. Are you sure it wasn't the Tac16 ? reason is that it's larger and made to handle more internal pressure.
