Picked up a 2.0 45 (thumb safety) maybe 2 months ago. Interestingly enough most all the popular holster models state doesn't work with 2.0 (still). It does fit in my bladetech (evolution I think) I bought for my original M&P 9 Pro but its a bit tight even adjusted. I still have the original...

LOL I'm 54 and at least at some point saw/did most all. When I was a kid there were people/relatives that still had wood burning stoves, outhouses and hand pump water (usually pump inside on kitchen sink though) . My great great uncle was a fairly well off tobacco farmer and still enjoyed...

Definitely an age old discussion and to each his own. I carry one in chamber and thumb safety on. At least for me the thumb safety off is a one handed part of my draw. When I was CCing other striker guns w/o safety I was a little less comfortable. There's a reason a lot have glocked the...

Buying the Pro (not counting the newer 4.25-4.5") is mostly getting you a 5" barrel and a supposedly better sear and striker. I have an original ~2009 9 Pro and it was just ok out of the box (better than full size). I certainly appreciated the improvement I got in travel and pull after adding...

Maybe but certainly not for something as trivial as web browsing which uses very little bandwidth. I'm sure everyone knows the courts ruled against the FCC and net neutrality so providers are again (at least for now) free to discriminate as they please and possibly exhort money from companies...

I don't agree with the fact the guy shot the leashed dog but I have to agree with what you said. For years dog hunters trespassed on our land in VA hunting deer and mostly bear. Barbed wire fences, blazed trees and signs meant nothing to them (let alone the rules of the adjacent national...

That test is just flawed... I came out as Grant too. Then again maybe we are all just garish, whiskey drinking, gun toting ruffians :D I might like whiskey and be a Copenhagen addict but never liked cigars. With 370+ years of Virginia family blood behind me the only use I would have had for...

Wearing shorts and tees or untucked shirts most of the time IWB appendix is about all that works for me and my build. I use a run of the mill Galco suede holster and its quite comfortable sitting, driving or standing. Only time its a little uncomfortable is if I have to squat down to get...

My stock 16" ML-1 started around 7.35 pounds with a 7" solid free float tube and a heavy match barrel. After a full remodel with Magpul CTR, Spikes milspec tube, spring and ST-2 buffer, ambi sling hook, large BCM Gunfighter, Sadlak LP LN gas block, Troy 13" Alpha rail, DPMS Miculek brake...

When it comes right down to it the difference in most top brand SD ammo is pretty trivial (even a "range" load is going to screw someone's day). You can't go wrong with Fed, Win, Speer etc SD loads. A lot is preference... in 9 I prefer 124g or 147g so that's what I buy. Like someone else said...

Home Depot (Lowes not much better) other than walking in a store and buying what you want off the shelf has become utterly useless and various online ratings reflect that. I went through much the same with a new frig/washer/dryer for my new house. For many things like appliances and other...

That's probably up there on the list with the 5" M&P 45 they will probably never make. To maintain the same Shield form factor it would probably have to be single stack and capacity would be too small. As it is if all the stories are true I'm glad I bought a 9mm Shield and not the 40 let alone...

As much as I don't use FB I should confess my wife and last urchin still in the house use it enough for everyone here. As far as staying in touch I get relevant tidbits from my wife and my medium of choice these days is Skype for talking and seeing kids, grandkids and friends. A good internet...

I've been a software engineer for about 30 years and computers have been a major part of my life and income. That said even I don't use FB, twitter or any of the ilk. Way too much invasion of privacy by not only the companies but people getting up in your business. Because of that I...

Used to sometimes wear the more colorful "Hawaiian" shirts but I've morphed to more subdued colors. When not wearing a tee I wear them close to year round. I have a boatload of Columbia, North Face etc. 100% cotton in mostly solid colors (not the fishing shirts). Great for concealed carry...
