    Say Hello to the Twins!

    The car guy in me was hoping for twin turbo's... The gun nut in me is satisfied though. Very nice.

    Engraving Colors??

    To get the best fluorescent green look.. Do a coat of white first. It really helps make it pop.

    Installed the Apex sear on my Shield

    Is this an otherwise untouched firearm? No polishing or anything of that sort?

    How much did you pay for your M&P Shield?

    Mine was cheap. I traded a Marlin 995, beat Mossberg 500, And a heavily used modified Sd40ve for my Shield 40 and a box of Hornady's.

    sd40 ve... with a 9mm barrel

    The m&p guys do it all the time so it might be possible. But there are small issues you could encounter by doing this. One of them being the recoil spring being too stiff and not properly ejecting. But by theory of the m&p crew... If the barrel fits and goes into full battery... It should work.

    1250 round test for reliability and intergrity

    Well at least Im not the only one having feed problems with umc. My first round of every mag tends to jam. Never had a problem with wwb or federal

    Auto Loading Holster???

    Every holster i own has the trigger covered. And Im completely competent enough to carry loaded. I just think the design of these holsters are a good idea. I mean really... It locks the gun in the holster and the only way to remove it is to push down and tilt out. Do draw drills enough and you...

    Auto Loading Holster???

    Jesus Christ... Its true. I've been on 6 different forums since posting this and its the same song and dance on each one. Everybody gets their panties in a twist over a ****ing holster. Someone explain why this is such an ungodly contraption that it instantly brings out the hate in everyone.

    Auto Loading Holster???

    Anybody ever come across an auto loading holster for the SD or M&P? I m talking about the holster that you have to firmly push down and angle out and it loads the first round for you. I know they're out there for 1911's and Glock's but couldn't find one for our gun.

    sd40 ve.... how do they do it?

    Feed ramp is polished to that lovely mirror shine that everybody loves so much. The only times i EVER experienced any problem with this firearm was while using UMC. It just don't like it... Plain and simple. My previous comment was just to reference the fact that without any polishing or any...

    sd40 ve.... how do they do it?

    Your comparison is like people comparing Glock to the SD line. I for one own a hi-point and have had 0 issues with feeding, firing, or ejection. Just yesterday i had 3 light strikes with my SD40 and it really don't seem to like UMC 180gr because it usually jams up on the first round.

    SD Triggers and Mag Extensions Coming Soon From Apex

    Just left the gunsmith... We did 5 pulls with the new trigger (already had spring kit installed) and after 5 pulls my average was about 5lb 5 3/4oz. He actually seemed pretty shocked at how light it was. He's only ever handled stock SD's and he's a 1911 fanboy so to see such low numbers was...

    rail laser for SD40 that works with most holsters?

    Id love a stainless steel laser guide rod... No need for a speciality holster or large price tag for something that may or may not require purchasing a new holster
