I bought some p-mags and a Troy sight from Grabagun, no problems. If you want to pay less for a Sport, Gunbuyer.com still sells them for $539 shipped. I bought mine there with no hassles...

I was just replying to show that Smith & Wesson has the lifetime warranty, not about what may void the warranty.

In the owners manual for my Sport as well as in the downloadable .PDF manual on Smith and Wesson's site, it shows the one year warranty and on page 42, the last paragraph states: Smith & Wesson's Lifetime Service policy begins after the warranty period has expired. Smith and Wesson will...

The sad thing is that it won't even take one of the candidates actually mentioning gun control for another scare to happen. All it takes is for a Democrat to lead in the polls for the rumors fly that guns are in danger. I wasn't on any gun forums then but I remember friends who freaked out on...

People actually read the Motley Fool? I always thought it was just some website that had to use semi misleading titles on Yahoo's front page to get traffic.

I should have stated that I didn't shoot all 240 rounds in a row, it was over several hours. I did shoot two 30 round mags almost one right after the other and my friend commented that the barrel was probably a little warm then. I went to touch the barrel and that's when I noticed the pattern...

I went shooting with my Sport this weekend and after running about 240 rounds through it, I noticed the barrel looked weird. It looks like you can see the the rifling of the barrel on the outside of the barrel. Is this because I didn't get the barrel wiped down good before shooting it or what?

Thanks for the responses. I thought it was probably hand loads that caused the problem. If it had been factory loads, you'd have heard of crazy lawsuits and there would be lawyer commercials on tv. Thanks for all the info you guys share.

I have a couple of new owner questions for you guys. I understand what a squib is but: 1.) do they mainly occur when people are shooting reloads or new ammo? 2.) If new ammo, is there any certain brand that is known to produce more squibs?

I see the wisdom in this post. I was debating on spending the cash to buy 500 rounds online. I picked up 240 rounds at a decent price locally but before I could get more, they were sold out and the sale was over. I said "to hell with it" and pushed the buy button on the 500 rounds. I told myself...

Nice !! Just curious as to whether or not you cleaned yours before you went shooting and what you used to clean and lube it with.

I've seen the pictures of the earlier Sports with the sights like yours and wish S&W hadn't switched to the MBUS. I have a friend who is his departments firearms instructor and I'm waiting for an email from him on suggestions on what to buy. I'll try and find an A2 like you suggest too.

Thanks guys. I'm going to get some ammo tomorrow and try to get out and shoot it. The only thing I don't like about it is the MBUS rear sight. The larger aperture moves when I push the smaller one down. I'll most likely buy a different rear sight when I buy some more mags. I've always wanted a...

Most of my buddies have an AR or are building one and one has been posting deals he's found. I found where everyone talks about the great price at GunBuyer.com, ordered an M&P Sport. After waiting all of last weekend, waiting through a 2 day for the background check, and missing getting to the...
