Thanks for the input guys, sounds like everybodys says the .40 is pretty snappy. Thanks, Snowdoggie

Well I went to the Gun Shop to check out the M&P .40c and like everything about it, except I wish it had more finger room in the vertical direction. My fingers seemed a little tight on the compact. They didn't have a .45 to compare with. Of course the full size had plenty of room. Can any of...

Thanks for all the info guys, but could you fill me in a little more on #5 the internal lock. Thanks again, Snowdoggie

Can you guys help an old fossil like me out? I’ve been looking into getting one of these M&P .40 or 9mm compacts. I have done my research and just need a few thing confirmed / answered. 1. I can use the Storm Lake 9mm barrel and convert a .40 cal M&P into a 9mm? 2. The mags are the same for...

Well it looks like I missed out on another great deal. But I’d still like to know what is the difference between the S&W 4586 and the S&W 4553TSW? Could somebody enlighten me? Thanks, Snowdoggie

Here's my Belgians

Amen, Brother. You are truly my hero. Like I tell everybody else (aka the whiners), "DON'T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR ROSS PEROT". They still don't get it. Thanks, Snowdoggie

Great place to visit. We've gone down there every year since my boy was 6, he's now 16. Couldn't make this year though, lack of funds. Thing aren't going to well here in the sad state of Michigan. It was sort of a tradition to go there every year. Maybe my son will pass it on to his son...

Welcome, from Michigan also. Snowdoggie

What a great post, even touched an old guy's heart like myself. I don't know what I'd do without my son and our doggies. They always seem to know when you're down and they know how to bring back up again. See ya, Snowdoggie

Please, excuse my shotgun ignorance. The express magnum 870 accepts 3.5" shells, when the regular express 870 does not, correct? Do the barrels interchange? Or do I need a magnum barrel on a magnum 870? Also, which is better for home defense?

Dang, I didn't those Colt .380s are going for that much. I may have to think about selling mine. They are very easy to shoot. Snowdoggie

Just thought I'd like you Mini-30 owner that Ruger's Mini-20 20 Rd Mags actually work, unlike most aftermart mags. I have an older (but mint) Mini-30 and pretty much given up using aftermart larger cap. mags. Until I saw Ruger was offering 20 rd mag, so I said what the heck I'll give'm a try...

Hate those darn Tornadoes, a mild one (if there is such a thing) hit our area about 3 years ago. It got several of my neighbors houses, but only took out about 200 trees on our property, mostly 80 ft tall white pines. Hope all those campers are aright. That must be on heck of a bad time in...

Thanks for the help guys. I live a little noth of Howell and work in Westland, so anywhere around there or any where between. I will travel a little bit also, since I travel an hour to work each way, each day. Not to mention soccer games, basket balls games for boy. So extra miles aren't a...
