Thanks everyone. I ordered an El Paso tanker. Up to 5" is only $112. Not bad for custom. I also ordered some $15 perry suspenders to try out with my leather belt and Kramer hip holster to see if that helps out. Suspenders....I'm getting old. Never in public though, woods only for now.

I have a friend with moutain property that we go out to camp and shoot on the occasional weekend. Once, intead of packing my M&P shield, I tried to be a bad *** and carry my 5" 629 .44. I have a nice leather holster and heavy horse leather gun belt. After an hour my waist and hip are hurting...

Well it seems to by hornady TAP and critical defense. I cycled a few mags of Remington's golden saber without issues. As to not using slide stop, how do you do a quick reload? Every pistol at an IDPA match is using the slide stop to release slide on a new mag.

I'll try that. That is critical defense. Though it does it with my plated Rainer reloads. I don't ride slide. Even with slide locked back and hit the slide stop it'll do it. If I hold mag all the way up its fine. S&w replaced the mag release too

mag springs are STIFF, I have a hard time getting last round in. Maybe recoil spring.....

If I load up a magazine to capacity, insert it fully into the pistol and either rack the slide manually, or use the slide stop to release the slide, my rounds nose up and get stuck in the chamber. I happends about 1 out of every 5-8 times. I sent the pistol back to S&W and they changed the mag...

Yes it's a shield. And all three mags have the issue. Doesn't matter if I slingshot slide or hit the slide stop, rounds jam up without going into chamber. Gonna call s&w.

I can't get my .40 to feed a round from the magazine either by hitting the slide release or pulling back slide and letting it go. The bullet noses up and gets stuck every time. It does seem like the magazine is hanging down a little bit- it doesn't appear to seat all the way with the catch...

I emailed AAC about how to clean the sparrow. He recommended the thumbler tumbler, so I spent $200 and did the monocore and clam shells. All that did was take off the nice black finish from the end cap and left lead deposits in all the nooks of the core and left the "waves" of lead on the...

So while buying my M&P 22, I didn't even know the barrel was threaded. They don't advertise that very well. So I bought the Gemtech adaptor that screws on. Well the threaded cap was so tight the wrench just bent open. I tried re-bending the wrench several times in a vice with no luck. I...

I love mine. Two trips to the range, 100 rounds of CCI each time. 100% so far. Only thing I don't like is the safety levers and the spongy trigger pull. It's light and accurate. So now the Colt .22 and S&W 617 stay in the safe because not only is it a great .22 to shoot, it's free practice...

You should have compromised and got a pink XD....

My dad has it. Very nice integration. The only thing I don't like is that you can't shoot it without activating the laser. But for a defensive pistol, that's not a problem. For a range gun, if you don't want the laser on, you need to swap back to your regular backstrap. It also makes the...

Can you explain that? So on a reload you're expected to pull the slide back with off hand to release slide?

Here's a PEPR QD with Nikon 3x9x40 slug scope on my .50 beowulf Warne high rings barely clear this Leupold compact 2x7x32 over Troy sights. The Warne AR rings are taller.
