Thanks Rgoodwin, I ordered a 9mm compact barrel from Midway for my .40 and it is supposed to arrive Monday. The day before I read this thread I had gone into my LGS and asked the guy at the counter if he could order a barrel for me. He said he couldn't do that. Told me that barrels weren't...

WallyJJ, I'm also happy you weren't injured, but I've got to add you're pretty cool with some of the responses you've gotten. I don't respond to many threads as I don't have much to offer (just much to learn). I just get a kick out of someone that doesn't take the bait, and keeps the...

The only response I might have given would be in the form of a question: "That's interesting. Why do you reload that way?" It's non-judgemental and shouldn't cause him to be less inclined to deal with you in the future. Unless someone asks though, like others have said, I find it best to keep...

Have about 400 rounds through mine and it has been trouble free. First time I fired it I was so low and to the left it embarrased me. Dry fire practice and more live fire corrected it. I'm not as accurate with this as my 1911's but I'm happy. Carry it practically every waking moment. Now, if...

I traded a Kimber I could not get to perform reliably for a M&P 45. Could not be happier. I still have 2 Kimbers I will not part with, but because of the M&P 45 I now own .40 and 9mm as well. 1911's are in a class unto themselves and when they work they are wonderful. My M&P's have all...

If you open the link about the shooting, you will see some truly despicable comments. There is a segment of our society that will never understand the dedication or our LEO and their daily sacrifice. I pray for the officer's speedy recovery. I hope (although I know it's wrong) that if the...

A while back (long while) I had some friends with blued revolvers and I "gold" inlaid the stampings on them. I never charged them for the work because it was only Testor's gold model paint. Like was mentioned on here already, just wipe it on, then wipe off the excess. After I did the firearms...

The only 14 round mags I 've seen for sale on the internet have been desert brown. I'd like to have some of the high cap mags for mine, even if they do look stupid. As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does." I guess if they work I don't care how much more stupid I look.

Probably shouldn't have made that my second post. Just drive way too much. Got ran off the road on a straight strech of I-94 in Western Michigan by a guy with a cell phone in one had and a bunch of papers in the other. He was waving apologetically as I pulled back onto the highway. My tires...

Nice M&P, but if it's you that runs me off the road, you'll need a good proctologist to see that pistol again.

Hello from Southeast Michigan. Just retired from the railroad and got my first "plastic gun." Always considered myself a 1911 type guy, but traded one for a full size M&P 45 and couldn't be happier. Goes bang each time I pull the trigger. Been reading posts on this forum. Very helpful and...
