I don't own an M&P yet either but I plan on buying one in the near future. As a repeat from my research on the net and this forum I'm going with the 40 for the ability to swap barrels. I own a compact Springfield XD so this weapon will be full size, but you can't go wrong either way.

What part of OK? I'm in the Tulsa area? Love it! Had me rolling!

I completely understand that. I practice all the time and im not wanting this done with those expectations. I just want a softer trigger pull cause this seems abnormally high, even thou after research I know now it's not.

Thanks for the input guys. Ill keep all this in mind and for this time pay a gunsmith for his knowledge if I decide to proceed.

A few weeks ago I bought I new 642 double action .38sp. It's got a real stiff trigger on it, had it measured with a cheap(er) quality gauge and it was off the charts. The gauge out went to 12 lbs, so a friend of mine is guessing its around 15 lbs. I thought it would loosen up after a few...

That sucks. Glad you two are safe.

Definitely one in the chamber, your a sitting duck if not. Like others have said get some training, practice, and get more comfortable around guns. It will I ly help you in the end. I was timid at first myself but now it's second nature like brushing your teeth in morning.

I'd send it back to Smith if it's shooting well.

Nice find. Since you posted your willing willing amount to spend, would you be willing to post what you paid?

Federal is all I shoot. Shoots great and is one of the 'cleaner' shooting ammos Ive shot.

My new 642 .38 has the lock and I've run 300 rnds thru it with no problems. I thought about removing it but I too was thinking about possible implications if I ever needed to defend myself since its my main carry side arm.

My local WM usually is always stocked. I typically buy 3 boxes of 9mm and a box of .38 sp every week. If they have the 100 rnd boxes I get those. But I normally shoot 2-3 boxes a week of 9mm. My next ammo purchase will be a 1000 rnd case at the local gun shop. In that size case they are selling...

Thanks for the input guys. Put about 200 rnds through it today. So far I'm happy with it.

Where abouts? BA is my hangout.

I like them!
