    Remora holster

    I own and use the Remora IWB with full sweat shield with my 9C, along with a Foxx IWB hybrid holster. The Remora does well with retention and ease of carry (putting on and taking off, and works well with shorts and no belt). Perhaps some rubbing on skin at times, but usually ok if you have an...

    How the M&P trigger works

    Appeciate your taking the time to make and post the video. Great job providing explanation on how striker fire works on the M&P.

    Cleaning --Oil in bore??

    Always put a light coat in bore and run a dry swab through. Even in dry conditions, you can get corrosion. Prefer to use Frog Lube now, as it wipes clear but leaves adequate protection without attracting dust and dirt in my CCW.

    Need some links for OTW leather holster for a 9mm Shield

    Watching this thread. I'm a 9C carrier, and also reside in the Florida sweat box. I use Remora and Fox IWB holsters, but really would prefer an OWB option. Difficult to determine which one will hold securely, hug tight to hip, and have minimal print. I'm a lefty, which also presents challenge...

    cleaner&lube

    I ordered the Frog Lube on line, as I couldn't find in local gun shops. Purchased small amount of liquid and paste.

    cleaner&lube

    Using FrogLube on my M&P 9C and like so far. Feels slick and pistol is very easy to clean. Was former Hoppe's and BreakFree CLP user. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    M&P Trigger Satisfaction

    I enjoy threads like this, and the various positions individuals have on what they like / accept for a trigger feel and function on the M&P. Having recently acquired a 9C myself, I was curious about the seemingly unending recommandations for APEX upgrades, chastizing S&W for using a sub-par...

    factory storage case

    If you are going to store in a case, I recommend putting a couple sticks of chalk in the case; a cheap fix. I do this with my tools in garage (in humid Florida) and it works well to elimiate moisture and prevent rust. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    9mm 17 rnd mags shipping!!

    Visiting my parents in WA and went to local ACE hardware, which is also LGS here. They did have 9mm ammo in stock, but to my surprise, they also had 6 each of S&W 17 rnd 9mm mags for $44.98. I have been looking for them, but only picked up one. I may buy a couple more while I'm here. Guess less...

    Remora Holster ???

    Remora works well for me. If you place it right IWB, it will stay put. I reciently did a 2200 mi trip on my Harley, and my 9C was secure all the time. I'm not as concerned (as some are) about reholstering issues. Practice or real life, I'm only drawing if I intend to use my pistol. Draws ok on...

    Love My 9c

    The 9c is my favorite also. Great range gun with accuracy to match a full size pistol and comfortable CCW with acceptable capacity. Carry easy with a Foxx or Remora IWB, with comfort and minimal print. I thought about the 9mm Shield, but it was not as comfortable in hand, reduced capacity, and...

    Truglo TFO Sights

    Truglo TFO- Glasses Not to hijack, but also thinking of getting Truglo TFO sights for my M&P 9C, but have a question on vision. I use reading glasses and have had to wear them at the range in order to get sight alignment. Much harder to do without glasses, but want to start practicing without...

    Frog Lube and a M&P

    Thanks for the feedback Maddmax and Zotzer. I will go ahead and treat the 7 lube points at every cleaning, even with full treatment of my MP9C… can’t hurt. Glad that I purchased both the FL paste and liquid versions; can see the utility of both. Good to read all the posts about initial...

    Frog Lube and a M&P

    7 Lube Points I believe! I ordered some Froglube paste and liquid and will begin treatment of my 9C when the FL arrives. But I have yet to find consensus on if it should be the best practice to also use liquid FL consistently on the 7 lube points. I would welcome all feedback on this question...
