I would sure bet the Ruger will be more accurate than the M&P .22. However I am a fan of Smith and Wesson and I would sure take a look a their new Victory, I am searching for a reason to buy one myself. To be totally honest though I highly recommend renting each one you are attracted to and...

Just a followup for those of you who posted on this thread. The story ended up with a happy ending. I am loading the 124g X-Treme JHP with 4 grains of Tight Group, OAL. At the state match the chronograph showed a 5 shot average of 1055 fps, well over the 1008 required for me to meet the 125...

I was actually using 115 gr Freedom HP. I was about 15 FPS to slow to make PF.

Looking for some input. I have been competing in IDPA for some time and like the performance of Freedom HP target loads. What I don't like is that at my state IDPA match I did not hit the 125 power-factor and was DQ'd. I purchased a re-loader and would like to load to load X-Treme 124 gr HP...

FYI Scooter, I have been using the 124G American Eagle with good results. Just purchased 1000 rds. Ill get them through a Chronograph before my next major match. Thanks

I purchased some on line from a hobby supply vendor. Was able to purchase a lifetime supply for about $6.00. They came in 10" lengths, I gut them to size and then use a candle to expand the ends. Is you search "10-8 sights" on YouTube you can watch the install video. I was unable to copy the...

Scooter, Thanks for your input. I will for sure take your advise into consideration. The 115 gr Freedom list a velocity of 1120 so at best it would only be 128. My next major match will be June 2018 and I will run some experiments before I risk the match on ammo that does not perform. I will...

What factory loads to you guys use to ensure you can meet a 125 power factor in you 9mm? I have been using Freedom Munitions for years until I received a DQ at a state IDPA match. Was using their target hollow point 115 gr. Came up about 12 fps to slow.

Pictures please??

OKFC05 and Bkreutz, Thanks much for the info. Looks like all I need to do is keep shooting. At a rate of about 2,000 rounds a year it will be a while before I need to change any parts.

Inusuit, Thanks for your input. I have heard this suggestion before. The gun has never never had any issues at all and is incredibly reliable. Never a misfire never had a failure to eject or feed. While I don't mind spending the money and sure don't want to experience a failure during...

OK Folks, After just a little more than 4000 rounds through my M&P FS 9mm do I need to change any parts as a preventative maintenance measure?

No problem with mine. Guessing it must be different for every hand.

Who can help me with the correct Roll Pin Size for the extractor pivot on my M&P 380? After involuntarily taking a quick swim with it I wanted to pull it down ab buggered up the pin a little. I figured I could drive it out without the correct size (smaller) punch, I was wrong. My guess is...
