    Tale of a 581 restoration/customization

    Ladder, Bam-Bam, doublesharp, and all.... many thanks for the welcome back. This is a great forum full of wonderful enthusiasts. I'm so happy to be a part of the "fraternity". My best wishes to you all!

    M&P picture thread.

    Another striker-fired favorite of mine is the M&P Compact 2.0. I love the sharp texture on the grip frame! Extremely secure in the hand! I did upgrade the trigger to an Apex kit.

    M&P picture thread.

    I love the Shield Plus' new trigger from Smith & Wesson. To my mind, they've out-Apexed Apex by making the safety lever nearly as wide as the trigger shoe itself. Practically no creep, flat wall, clean break, no sponginess, as well. I wouldn't be surprised if S&W uses this trigger design on...

    M&P picture thread.

    Long time M&P fan, but just got my first Shield (a Shield Plus w/night sights). I must say, this is quite an impressive pistol: the capacity (13+1=14) for its size, wonderful shoot ability, and a really great trigger - best trigger feel, by far, of any stock M&P I've ever fired! Really...

    Tale of a 581 restoration/customization

    Hi doublesharp! Nice to see you again, too. Thanks for the "hello". I'm certainly glad if anything I've learned and shared can benefit others, too. That nickel 581 sounds fantastic. "Ls" (pre-locks in particular) are just great guns.

    Tale of a 581 restoration/customization

    Hey friends... after several years of stepping away from my firearms passion, I'm beginning to re-engage. WOW... I can't believe the likes for this pistol. I do understand how cool it is, though. Of many S&W revolvers, this one is my favorite. They've all been safe queens for years now...

    Ahrends Grips declaring bankruptcy

    I've been fairly disengaged from my firearms passion for several years and I'm just now beginning to get re-engaged. Very sad to hear about Judy passing and what has happened to Kim since her loss. He asked me to photograph a great many of his awesome grips back "in the day", which I gladly...

    Wow... that's going to be amazing. I like that you went with a 7-shot cylinder also. Nice move. Can't wait until you unveil it!

    That's fantastic, ladder. Mark is the man when it comes to precision revolvers. What does the project entail? Please let's see it when it's done!

    What would you do?

    Jeez... those malfunctions in a brand new S&W revolver are MIND BOGGLING. That revolver has serious problems of far more importance than the scratches in your photo. Build quality of current production S&W revolvers must be depressingly poor for that to have gotten out the door.

    Post up some 586’s

    Lots of 586 fans here, I see. I'm a BIG fan of the 586/581 models. They're two of the most beautiful S&W revolvers ever made. And, I'm a really big fan of the 586... with fixed sights... which goes by the model name 581. This next one was customized for me by Mark Hartshorne of...

    First Time Shooting New M&P 2.0 C 9mm

    I've been an M&P fan in .40S&W caliber for many years (full size and compact) - fantastic pistols! Extremely reliable and shoot so comfortably. A short while back I picked up an M&P9 Compact 2.0 with 4" barrel, as well. I'm planning my first trip to the range with it next week! I love the...

    M&P 9mm accuracy - how is it these days?

    Escapee... what you mention here is what I was asking about - the accuracy issues with the early M&Ps chambered in 9mm, that were commonly complained about when they first came out. I bought an M&P40 Compact when they first came out and went through some teething issues with a mag drop issue...
