    Attention all FBI 1076 owners

    Interesting that there are VBE serial numbers there. I have a VAE 1076 that I always thought was a pretty late prefix range for a 10mm. I didn't expect any FBI guns to be even close to mine, let alone after. dwp10mm

    New 1076

    Thanks. One of these days I need to get a membership to OGCA. They make it difficult though to join if you don't know a current member. I do know one but he doesn't get out much any more.

    New 1076

    Yeah, I know the feeling. In the past 5 years I can probably count on one hand how many I've seen. And in all of those cases, they are beat up common 9mm or 40 models. I did luck out in 2011 when I found someone walking the show with a 1076. It turned out to be a TEU that lettered to the FBI...

    New 1076

    Did you find this at the Sharonville show? Was it at a table or from an individual? Every time I don't go someone else finds the goodies. My V series has the mag disconnect. My FBI TEU does not. I'll take a look at them later tonight. To rub salt in my wounds, do you mind sharing how much...

    1076 FBI trade issue

    I think this is a spot on observation. I can't recall any recent sales of an FBI 1076 that went for anything over $1300. But it can certainly depend on condition as well as what serial numbers. I don't think people value the TEU ones as much as the later issued models but that is just my...

    Don't Hate Me - 17rd Magazines?

    I seriously doubt S&W raised their prices that much. $10 I could overlook. But the price they posted is double the previous price. I refuse to buy into the panic and feed the vendors who are taking advantage of the situation. When the smoke clears, I'll have a clear understanding of who...

    Don't Hate Me - 17rd Magazines?

    I must have been the only one offended by the price. Inventory was 99 when I first logged in. Gone now.

    Don't Hate Me - 17rd Magazines?

    I just got an email from 44 Mag that they had them in stock. But when I clicked on the link, the price was $59.99. No thanks. I thought they were a reputable company. I may never order from them again. 44MAG.com - Smith & Wesson - Smith & Wesson M&P Magazine 9mm Fullsize 17 Round

    New BG 38 Grips

    I've had mine on order since at least April or May. Can't wait for them to finally show up.

    Anybody not thrilled with the Shield?

    Don't get me wrong, my post was partially tongue in cheek. But I too will NOT miss at this distance on the range. But then again, no one is shooting back at me at the same time. That changes the experience a little I'm sure. Thus I do want those extra rounds available when the SHTF. Getting...

    Anybody not thrilled with the Shield?

    Yeah, but how many times did they miss? If you missed with the first 8 shots and didn't have an extra mag it's kind of hard to get to those next two hits. :-)

    Milt sparks VM2 shield

    Thanks for the pics. I think I am going to wait a while and try other holster options for the Shield. I have a PJ Holster, IWB with Deep Concealment Option 30 degree cant on order. I'll see how well that conceals. I really like the feel of leather better but looking for the smallest...

    Milt sparks VM2 shield

    I was going to actually say the opposite. The other night I had to dress up a little more than usual and first put on my M&P Compact in the VM2. I immediately noticed it seemed to be riding higher and thus had a tendency to point the butt out a little more. So I switched over to my Shield in...

    Milt sparks VM2 shield

    Please post pictures once it arrives. I have yet to order one for my Shield because I'm waiting to see what size it comes out as. I love my VM2's, but they are not a minimalist holster. So for a gun the size of the Shield, I wonder if it would increase the bulk needlessly. Here's my VM2 for...

    M&P Compact 357 Sig, Should I get it???

    With the night sites and three mags I would say that is a good deal. CDNN has them for a while at $399 but I only see the full size in there current catalog. A lot of the .357 Sig M&Ps have been on closeout for a while and could be had for under $429. But I don't see those deals around a lot...
