So just ordered a .458 socom upper to put on my sport 2 lower. Has anyone else done this? I have already placed my buddies 458 upper on my sport 2 lower and it cycles and runs perfect so I already know it works. What other uppers have yall put on your sport 2 lowers?
will the spring guide for the 40S&W M&P model work on my SD40VE? Its a plastic sleeve that slides into the slide itself and houses the striker spring. Below is the only one I can find but it's for an M&P will this fit mine sd40ve? Only home protection pistol I have at the moment and need to get...
Used my buddies frog lube on my 40ve and it turned into glue basically. The striker was tapping rounds but not igniting them and I ended up with a mag full of dimpled unexpected rounds. Took it apart and as I was removing the striker spring guide it broke. I cerakoted the pistol so I know smith...
Mine was shot at factory, it only had a bit of carbon in it and a realy slight ring in the same spot, yours has definitely been shot more then once though. That looks like a day on the range for mine. I would take it back to s&w and tell them about it
Sorry im just getting back to you guys, yes i am using the factory mags, no there isnt any dirt or sand in them and they are working right because when i manually pull the slide to the rear it will lock in place with the empty mag in it. It seems to me that the slide is being obstructed from...
I have the sd9 and 40ve, these aregreat guns and can take a beating but for safety of equipment id suggest a snapcap, of course using any mechanics of the gun will overtime smoothen up the action, it can hurt your equipment if done wrong. Id rather not put execcisve force on my firing pin if not...
Ftf meant as failure to feed, and that is not my issue im worried about. 5 ftf out of 1200 rounds in my book isnt bad. My issue is the slide failing to lock back in place after the last rounds been shot. And yes i have had this issue before cerakoting it. I thought maybe it was something that...
Hey guys, so i have put around 12 to 13 hundred rounds through my sd40ve with very very minimal issues. I have had maybe 5 or 6 ftf and fte out of the 1200 to 1300 rounds i have put through it. The one thing i do consistantly have an issue with is the slide locking to the rear at the expense of...
Its a good video but it makes my point! If your moving through your home, or if your out in a parking garage and know there is a threat the most comfortable hold is the harries position. This brings the light where? RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR GUN, ITS STILL CENTER OF YOUR BODY, or you use cover and poke...
And yes i know it was a mirror reflecting back at me which illuminated me a great deal. The idea is, the halo or light bloom from the light doesnt cover you as much when away from the body and your more liable to expose yourself more then if it were directly infront of you covering you in its...
6I do wanna say though that we were taught to keep the light away from the body in the navy and it does fine but in reality the further we get the light from our body if the threat is not looking directly at the light but to the side he will be able to see more of us from the off glow the light...
Well i think it goes without saying, if i am pulling my pistol then its because i intend to shoot. If there is a situation where i need a light but there is no known threat i will use my olight if needed. My pistol mounted tlr4 is only if there is a known threat. Again, i know there is a threat...
