Where are folks sourcing the hand stop? Is it Magpul?

Just ordered mine from Kentucky Gun Co. $499 cash price, free shipping, no sales tax, (saves me 8%). Thank you stimulus check. Even have $200 left over for ammo. "Optics Ready" so no iron sights. I've had my full size 15-22 for a few years now. Will probably do some mixing and matching...

Got my order confirmation from SW today. Said they would provide shipping updates when available. For reference, I ordered the gauge on Mar 8 when the notice appeared.

I am interested in trying some friendly competitive shooting at my local club. Has anyone done NRA Silhouette Competition with their 15-22? The course of fire for consists of 40 steel targets: 10 chickens at 40 meters 10 pigs at 60 meters 10 turkeys at 77 meters 10 rams at 100 meters...

I have both versions of the Shield which I have shot extensively. I have never been blinded or powder burned because of the porting. Maybe it could happen on other guns, but on the PC Shield it hasn't been an issue. Just an urban legend I think. I know one could buy the standard Shield and...

Picked up a P938 yesterday. Fired a 100 rounds through it with no issues.

On 6/26/17 I submitted the online rebate form. So far, all the Milano site is reporting : "There is no record of a claim with the information provided." "Please verify that the phone number, zip code, and last name were entered correctly." "The claim may not be available at this time, please...

Some of the retail dealers in their ads emphasized a price that was "after rebate". In effect they were using the rebate to make the price seem lower. I would guess a lot of people saw the gun more affordable as a result of the way they were advertised.

I was also bit by the rebate bug. I already had a perfectly fine Shield 9, but I really wanted the Performance Center model. I even considered Hicock45's assessment where he didn't see much of a difference between the two models to warrant the extra cost. However, there was that $75...

Here's a couple of pictures of my very comfortable Hogue grip. Before installation & installed: click on thumbnails

Welcome from South Carolina. Happy shooting!

Just changed the picture link to a photobucket site. Hope that works.

"15-22" - just making sure everyone is paying attention!

This ugly image is my wrist with a nasty burn blister after a hot 22 shell landed on it. "How can this happen?", you might ask. I believe it was from a "magic bullet". When I fired my M&P 15-22, the shell casing ejected from the right, bounced off the brim of my hat, took a left turn downward...
