    Your nomination for spectacular firearms at affordable prices

    Best bang for your buck for pistols in my opinion is by far the CZ75. The CZ75 and its variants are still generally very underrated firearms, especially at their price point. I could go on and on about why I absolutely love these pistols, but it's even better to just shoot them and see for...

    Bodyguard all over the paper!!

    Practice trigger control. I don't use the tip of my finger for the 380 I actually use the strong of my index finger and I shoot more accurately.

    Decisions, Decisions - 9mm or .40?

    .40 without a doubt. The only people I've met who don't like the .40 are people who can't shoot it well, and women. If you actually take the time to become competent with a .40, not only will you be just as accurate and just as quick with the .40 as you are with a 9mm, but you will be able to...

    Any New M&P's coming out?

    I would purchase a hammer fired M&P45 tactical pistol with an all metal frame.

    M & P 40C Ammo

    I prefer Federal and Blazer 180 grain for the range. I purchased some Freedom Munitions brand new 180 grain and although it works fine, it's a dirty round. Winchester white box works fine but it produces more muzzle energy than the others. This being a polymer pistol, I prefer the Federal and...

    FNS40c / M&P40c

    I now own both. While I have a lot of love for the M&P40c (it's my first pistol,) the FNS is without a doubt a better engineered machine, and the Smith is damn near perfect mind you. I got the FN for $450 shipped with the FFL and background transfer. At a sale price of $399.99, I could not let...

    M&P Bodyguard FTF Last Round

    900 rounds so far. No major issues. One thing, after about 150 rounds of a mix of Korean and Swiss ammo, I'll have to use the double strike feature to get the primer to ignite. After this happened twice, I used a q-tip to dry wipe the firing pin and it solves the issue. Firing pin is most...

    Opinions Needed-New Model S&W .380

    For deep concealment, it can't be beat IMO. I prefer a compact or shield as a primary, but for deep concealment as you stated it's near perfect. Remains accurate to 10 yards for me and is spot on at 5 or less yards.

    apex fss on my m&p40 .

    You can remove the sear housing and the safety lever, then carefully bend the safety lever frame inward just a bit to create a little more friction. Before it was such that if you barely brushed the safety it would engage/disengage. Now I don't have to worry about accidentally disengaging the...

    what do you think of this deal

    I bought a new M&P40c 18 months ago for $500, installed an Apex DCAEK and Trijicon Night Sights both for $167.00 shipped. $390 is a steal IMO assuming it functions well. Congrats on the purchase

    Can't take it any more.....

    If you're confident in removing the rear sights, you can remove the striker safety plunger to polish it lightly and evenly with 1000-2000 grit sandpaper. You can round it off as well if you'd like. Then you can lightly polish the striker block itself where it makes contact with the sear. If...

    What lube works best for the Shield 9?

    As many others stated; as long as you use something and it's designated for guns, you can't go wrong. There are even other products not meant for guns that will work fine also. Personally, I use the Gun Cleaner and LPX Oil from M-Pro 7 but notice that the cleaner is a bit too soft. Because of...

    M&P picture thread.

    Honestly, I pocket carry the 40c [with thumb safety] if I'm wearing jeans and use a little pocket to hold the extra mag, no problems and it's easily concealable. If I'm wearing something that I can't pocket carry the 40c in I'll put it in my laptop bag or something I'm carrying and never let it...

    having a problem with M&P trigger, and it isn't the same one you've seen 1000 times

    I didn't know that and didn't have sound on in the video. In OPs lower video I can't really get a good enough look at whats going on. I just believe the issues lies within the trigger bar assembly whether its warped or something. What leads you to believe its the thumb safety though? To my...
