    New paint job

    "Solvents won't remove it. " Thanks for the tip ... But it's just white paint, isn't it ??? Wouldn't paint thinner & a Q-Tip remove it ??? I don't want to damage the Melonite or Armornite, or what ever they call it. Thanks, Don K

    OWB Holster Recommendations

    I've been looking for one too & as usual I can't find anything I like. Ideally it would be an OWB with a thumb-snap & a closed muzzle, kind of like a Bianchi 5BHL for revolvers, in brown leather. The closest I've seen are the Model 75 Venom & the Model 57 Remedy, although Jay's WLW Predator...

    New M&P 9 Shield Magazine Loading ...

    Howdy, new here - I just got a new M&P 9 Shield from my LGS a couple weeks ago, haven't gotten a chance to fire it yet.
