    RMR vs Laser Sights

    CT Green laser I am 67 years age and also too slow to run and fight. I have all the different listed sights but definitely prefer the green laser. It's much brighter in the daytime. The CT laserGRIPS or laserGUARD are the easiest to bring on target without fidgeting. The future is also going...

    Anyone here go from a Shield to a Compact?

    The Opposite Direction works better My first M&P was a 40c with a CT laser. That is my numero uno gun that is used for ATV riding or if I have to go into an area that is known for trouble. My EDC is a 9mm Shield in a Hidden Hybrid Holster. The differences are significant for concealment and...

    M&P9c VS Shield 9

    Have the Shield, M&PC and M&P Full Size. For EDC, the Shield is much more concealable. For ATV trail riding, the gun is the M&Pc, and for the house gun, it's the full size gun the wins. Think of the Shield as being the Ford Focus that you go to and from work in on a daily basis. The Ford Fusion...

    Thoughts on the SIG P 220 CARRY..

    I have several Sigs, including the P220, and also have several M&Ps, including the 45 ACP. Accuracy and shootability are non-issues. The main difference in operation is the trigger pull on the first round. The striker fired M&P has the same pull for each round fired, while the Sig has a heavy...

    M&P9 Trigger

    I have owned six M&Ps over the years and have had the Apex trigger kit in two of them. Also have the RAM kit in two. f you want to spend 20 bux, the RAM is the way to go to get the trigger reset for reliability.

    Any reason to buy full size M&P

    Reason for buying a M&P 45 Full size is more comfortable to shoot, and having a full size as a house gun is not as big a deal, since it doesn't have to be concealed. Have a light and laser on mine. For ATV riding in the backwoods, I have a 40c because it still has some punch when using the 15...

    CCW 40c or Shield

    I have both the 40c and the 9 Shield. If you are going to carry for any length of time, Shield is the way to go in street clothes. If you are trail riding, a 40c OWB is better suited. A loaded Shield is significantly lighter and easier to conceal. The 40c gives you more firepower when needed in...

    Close Shoulder Holster Experience

    Safariland Shoulder Holster 1090 This one will hold most autos, but not revolvers. It's designed for autos that have barrels at least 3.5" and up. The elastic and clips are cheap, so I had a pair of HOLDUP suspenders with the no-slip clips sacrificed and had a leather maker redo it. Made a...

    Help me decide which M&P to buy

    Have M&Ps full size, compact, Shield and the 22 among other guns. My number one gun if I could only have one would be the M&P 40c with Crimson Trace laser grips. It's compact enough, has enough firepower and ammunition is available for it. The full size is too big to carry. If carrying is the...

    M&P Shield 9mm OWB Holster

    Crossfire Elite Panther This one is designed primarily for security by maintaining a firm grip on the Shield during ATV riding or other jostling activity.

    M&P Shield 9mm or Kahr CW9 for carry

    CW9 v M&P Shield Have had both, but I prefer the Shield for several reasons: The Shield has a safety that the Kahr does not have. The Shield, being S&W, will have a better selection of holsters available when the dust settles. The rails on the Kahr polymers are not reinforced with steel. The...

    Laser options for Shield

    I've had at least 20 CT lasers on various guns and one LaserMax. The CT is a higher quality product and there service is second to none. The LaserMax is much better than having no laser. If money is the main concern, you can talk yourself into about anything. Regarding the holster, I use the...

    $1,000 to spend on a 9mm... Which one?

    $1000 9mm Start from the holster you would like to wear and proceed from there. A S&W M&Pc 9mm striker fired with a RAM (reset assist mechanism ) and APEX trigger kit would be an ideal setup and cost much less than $1000. An Hidden Hybrid Holster that allows you to carry on the outside and...

    Should I call S&W - Shield FTE

    FTE on 9mm Shield I too had an FTE on my Shield after the gun had 50-60 rounds of UMC 115 gr FMJ through it. Cleaned it, and lubed it with military LSA Teflon and it didn't jam after that. However, when I carry it, it will have premium ammo with nickel coated brass and will be well lubed and...
