Gunzilla issue I have been using Ballistol and tried gunzilla. Even after 500 rounds it would take about 3 swipes to get my barrel spotless with Ballistol. With godzilla I kept getting carbon swatches after 6-7 passes. It just does not seem to be anywhere near as efficient. Any others...

I shoot IDPA with th M&P 9 full size and could use some advice on upgraded sights. I have heard Truglo is weak in anything but direct sunlight. In addition to make and model any sugs on installation would be appreciated

Other uses Thanks for feedback on snap caps. My primary use is to identify and manage jerking or muzzle movement. Have someone load your mag and add 2 or 3 snap caps with the live ammo not telling you where they are in the sequence. If you are jerking when firing it will be very apparent when...

Hi All, Sorry for bringing up a subject that may have been beaten to death but I need recommendations on good snap caps that can be loaded in conjunction with live ammo. I have heard reports of Azoom and Tipton fouling the chamber with brass bits and jamming. Got an IDPA match coming up and I...

S&W instructs very minimal lub for their 9 FS. None in the bore which is not what most cleaning routines suggest. Do you run a oiled patch thru at the end to protect against rust?

Just picked up a bulk box of 1000 Remington 9mm from Dick's for $279. Maybe there is loosening of this shortage.

My wife and I enjoy boating and plan to run down the east coast to the Bahamas next winter. After reviewing the following reciprocity laws : Reciprocity Explaination. It appears I will be floating in a defenseless state. Any advice from people who travel and protect themselves without ending up...

After struggling with my 10.5 Ma compliant trigger the first couple times out [ low and left!] I installed the Apex DCAEK kit at the forum's suggestion. What a remarkable difference in feel and accuracy. Its like a different pistol. Thanks to all for the advice.

I am looking for a primary CC and have read many comparisons on the forum comparing Shields with WaltherPPS, Kahr, etc but nary a word about the Beretta Storm. I have fired the Beretta FS and loved it as much as my M&P 9FS. Does anyone have any experience with the Storm and how it compares to...

When I picked up my new 9 at the LGS last week I asked about dry firing and the rep told me feel free to dry fire to my hearts content. After reading some of the posts in the forum I am not sure this is a great idea. Is there a definitive answer on this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input folks. I thought once the trainer had the same problem it eliminated operator error but I respect your opinions and will stick with it and practice. The bench shooting sounds like a good baseline test too. Thanks again

Picked up my first M&P 9 fs and sprinted to the range (after cleaning) for a 100 round break in. I loved everything about it except the 10lb Ma compliant trigger which was horrid and of greater concern my groups were all low and left. There was an instructor on the range whom I know and he...

I ordered the Ma compliant

I jumped on their website 2 weeks ago when I heard they had Shields. Placed an order and got confirmation of sale. After about a week of calling and emails I finally get a live person today they tell me they sold them all to walk ins. They'll keep me in mind. Nice! These guys run ads...
