    Freedom munitions

    "New" is new brass, "Reman" is used brass. They have a program where you can send in used brass for credit towards your order. I've put a couple hundred rounds of 9mm remanufactured 115 grain through my M&P9 with no issues. Last I saw they're below $100 for 500 rounds of it and $5 flat rate...

    Sear block!!!!!

    I'm not sure if this is the specific thread I was thinking of from previously reading but wanted to let people know that G&R has the Sear housing block with Performance Center Sear in stock right now. I've been checking a few times a week and was able to put an order in earlier today. This is...

    M&P 9mm

    I picked up my M&P 9 FDE/Black kit at Cabela's about a year ago. The package they have includes 3 magazines, a holster, 2 mag holder, and Maglula loader. I haven't touched the holster or mag holder but the loader and third magazine have come in handy at the range.

    Hi from Redmond WA

    Welcome from just up the road! I'm mostly lurking around the M&P Pistol, 15-22, and 15 forums. Saw the location in the title and figured I had to reply to this one.

    S&W SD VE Series is the Best Kept Secret in the Firearms World!

    I almost went for the SD9VE but ended up with the FDE M&P 9 kit from Cabela's for the third mag and loader last year (and, yes, the FDE color). I keep toying with the idea of a SD40VE but also am interested in a M&P 45c. If only they had a SD45VE I'd probably be set with one relatively low...

    M&P 22 Compact Announcement

    As an owner of a M&P 22 (and 9mm FS) I'll be interested to see how the design of this differs from the other 22 other than size. The M&P 22 is still on the S&W site but hiding only under the 22 Rimfire pistol page, not under the M&P section like it was. I wonder if it's being phased out. I...

    Stock or FDE

    I'm wondering how close Krylon "khaki" or "sand" colored paint is to FDE. Camouflage Paint made with Fusion for Plastic® Technology - | Krylon I can just about buy 2 regular 25 round magazines for the price of one FDE one from 44Mag. If the paint looks pretty close I may get a can and at...

    Ammo Thread Scores

    I just noticed AE Supressor .22LR listed in the in-stock thread earlier this morning and checked my Cabela's back order from 05/25/2013. *10* boxes on one order (they were no limit/backorder ok at the time) at $2.99 each are on their way to my local store! I'm not sure if it's going to shoot...

    Shortage of .22 LR, Next best thing to CCI?

    I've had OK luck with recent (purchased last 6-12 months) boxes of Golden Bullets (5xx/box). That said, all that was said about the Thunderbolts above applies. Dirty and loose bullet (though I haven't had one actually come out in the box). I think the Golden Bullets may be higher velocity...

    Anyone received the free ammo from S&W yet?

    I have mixed feelings. It's nicer than the bulk box for sure but it's a lower round count at the same (or a bit higher) cost. Also, you only get the tray inserts, you don't get the whole package (lid and tray along with the insert) like you do if you buy 100 Mini Mags or 50 Velocitor/Stingers...

    SWS Brass Deflector Gen 2

    I've got a set of these chamber flags from Midway and was able to wiggle one in under the older version of the brass deflector. I'll give it a try when my V2 gets here in the next few days. Boonie Packer Chamber Checker Safety Flag Polymer Yellow Package of 5 To give you an idea of the...

    M&P 22

    Just skimmed the thread but it looks like much of what I was going to say has been mentioned: - 12 round magazines are really 10 rounders with the spacer removed. Buy what you can get the best price on (or find at all) as long as you're not limited to 10 rounds. - Gun likes a little hotter...

    Ammo Thread Scores

    I've got a couple orders waiting for pickup at Cabela's, a couple in transit, and a couple yet to ship. I did notice that I have a pack of CCI Mini Mags from 2/7 that's flagged as backorder. I'm not sure what that's all about since I've seen them come up as "in stock" since then. Maybe the...
