    Magazine Holder

    Can anyone recommend a good magazine holder? I'm looking for one that would attach to a belt and hold two magazines for my m&p shield9. Thanks in advance.

    Pretty Happy with Big Dots on M&P Shield 9

    Second trip to the range with my new sights. Shot this at 7 yrds (rapid fire). 20 rounds...3" grouping. Pretty Happy with that I think.

    M&p Shield 9 Sight replacement

    I'm sure you and others on here have used sight pushers on all sorts of brands and types of sights. I was just offering up what I was told by the manufacturer as it relates to their specific product. XS recommends not using a sight pusher, but rather a nylon or brass punch. Everyone is free...

    M&p Shield 9 Sight replacement

    **Update** So, I took my shield back to the gunsmith who did the less than quality work on installing my xs big dot sights. He replaced the rear sight flawlessly, with no marring. He also refunded me my $41 which was the cost of the new rear sight and the shipping. Actually he handed me...

    M&p Shield 9 Sight replacement

    Update: So I called the shop and talked to one of his other guys that works there. He assured me they would make it right and agreed that means eating the cost of the rear sight and installing it without leaving damage to it. The cost is only $30 for the rear sight, so I'm not asking much by...

    M&p Shield 9 Sight replacement

    Okay, I think you guys are right. Simply put, bad quality work. I think this fellow is just sort of old-school and sees a weapon as a tool and isn't concerned with it winning a beauty award. That said, it's brand new and the finished result is very disappointing. Curious how you guys would...

    M&p Shield 9 Sight replacement

    pics Thanks! I hadn't thought about the possibility of it being brass. I can't tell for sure, but might try what you suggested with the toothpaste. Here are a couple of pics if it helps to see what I'm talking about. Maybe you can tell by looking.

    M&p Shield 9 Sight replacement

    Yeah, that's what I was hoping for...that it would come back looking factory installed. The guys website touts 30 years experience, but that of course could mean "screwing customers for 30 years" or "doing shotty work for 30 years ". At the end of the day I guess it's not a huge deal as the...

    M&p Shield 9 Sight replacement

    So I'm the proud owner of a new shield 9mm. I've put 400 rounds through it over the last four weeks and have been very happy with my decision to purchase this handgun to replace my Taurus CIA .357 snubby as my EDC. There were only two things I felt I needed to add to the gun for it to suit my...

    Magazine seems to stick a bit in new M&P Shield9

    So, I finally purchased an M&P Shield9 a couple of weeks ago to be used as my EDC. Was carrying a Taurus .357 snubby prior, but found it to not be terribly comfortable. Anyway, I have put 200 rnds through the Shield - 100 the first day at the range and then another on a subsequent trip. No...
