    Should you Apex your Pistol, because you have a bad trigger pull? The short answer is no. You should work on your trigger pull first, and get that sorted out, then, you will have a better place to decide from, if changing parts is what will do, what you want it to do. I will offer that, I've...

    I like Shields

    Lots of life changes for me. With all of that, I thought about what pistols I had, and what I was taking to the range to shoot the most. I had grabbed another 9mm Shield right after the fire, before I knew if anything at all had survived. I had been planning to grab a 45 as well, so both of...

    M&P Shield .40 or .45 ?

    I have all three, and like all three, but,............. The 45 is just flat out a great platform to shoot, love it. May get another. I have 2 9's, and both are great, and are my second favorite to shoot. The 9's are smooth, and fast back on target. Double taps are quick, and manageable...

    Break in ammo

    Hmmm, Let me think about this. Ok, If you break in, I'll probably let you test whatever 45ACP I have first, then if needed switch over to 9mm. I've currently got 4 mags for the 45, and 12 for the 9's. Honestly, if we get to the point where I've swapped over to the 9's then I'm probably not...

    M&P Ultimate torture test fail!!!

    Thanks all, it kinda sucks, but like was said, lives were not lost. Stuff can all be replaced, and is already being one so. I look at it this way. I get to replace, and rethink my choices on some of my gear. A few hours on the internet, and a little shopping, and I was back to functioning at...

    M&P Ultimate torture test fail!!!

    Why yes I suppose it would. Both of my 870's suffered the same fate. Their remains are still being disassembled to be disposed of. It sucks, but has been a very good life lesson in dealing with loss, and putting it all in the rearview and looking forward.

    M&P Ultimate torture test fail!!!

    I had no plans, nor did I want to torture test my stuff. Regardless, my 9mm compact failed to survive. Before the test. After testing During testing, proctored by a dedicated group of professionals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0_irqTgw8w

    Shield 45 first range trip

    Took everything today, all 5, but this was the 45's first time. Ran 100 through it, and I like it, A LOT! No issues, but will need another 1000 rounds through it. The trigger is very good! Have more ammo coming this week, as well as a couple more mags. Probably won't get out again till next...

    GL's Shield, and Compact adventures

    Todays distance was about 11 or 12 yards Got the new 40C out to the range today for the first time, and I really like the balance of the platform. It felt better to me than my FS. The trigger is new so will need some breaking in. I didn't run a separate target for it, I just shot it after...

    shield & compact

    Went shopping today to look at the 45 Shield, but they were out. I looked, and retouched 40's in Compact, and Shield, and went round and round about what I wanted. It was not an easy decision, but I brought home a 40C no safety. The shield was 369.00, add in spare mags, and that would have...
