    Update for SECOND range trip with Shield 9PC...

    Took the ShieldPC to the range again for some more work. Didn't laugh this time, but it still looks like an itty bitty dragon when being fired. This little thing is the bomb. Kept all ammo at 115gn this week, left the heavier 9mm at home. Change up this time is in addition to ball, i threw...

    Update for SECOND range trip with Shield 9PC...

    And I am sure the people in the other lanes thought I was demented because I was cracking up as I shot it :rolleyes: That little thing looked like a baby fire breathing dragon with the gases and flame venting through those ports and i just could not stop laughing. My groups were a little more...

    M&P 9 Threaded Barrel

    The only one i have experience with is the Storm Lake. Has worked very well on my M&P9 Pro Series with a Silencerco Octane. Good luck in your search.

    I hate "should I get it" posts, but....

    Hehe and I just checked the cash in my gun jar and I think it might just put it in my wallet tomorrow just in case I might accidentally try to get hold of the guy selling the 4506 here.... Post pix when you get them home - you are getting a twofer in my book!

    I hate "should I get it" posts, but....

    Hmmmmm....there is a 4506-1 for sale here locally, and I am trying to resist it since I already have a 4566. The price is $450 and I am finding THAT hard to resist, if I had been in your shoes three hunnert dolla bills woulda have jumped out of my pocket so fast ole Ben's hair woulda been flying.

    Norma USA TAC-22 Ammo

    As I said in an earlier post, I started with clean guns and it performs flawlessly. I can't think of a single FTF/FTE in any of the guns in my list, including the M&P22 that someone else had trouble with. Suppressed, not suppressed, no problems. In my opinion the "goo" helps keep the gun...

    Newbe

    Welcome, and nice rifle turnout. I have the hipertouch trigger on my "precision" 556 AR. I really like it a lot. I found it to be very crisp with little to no "staging" travel followed by a nice feeling reset. I use the lightest springs, given the use of that particular rifle. I'll be...

    Norma USA TAC-22 Ammo

    If you hung a suppressor on the pistol I wonder if it would generate enough back pressure to cycle properly. Do you have the same problem with other subsonic ammo, or just the Norma? I have now run over a thousand rounds of this without a single FTF/FTE in any of my platforms, but I don't have...

    Bits & Bobs

    What fun! I have the Eotech XPS and the G33 on my AR-15 carbine. The G33 is on the swing out mount, so I can flip it up when not needed. I put the Magpul Pro folding rear sight on it because it is really flat when folding and gave the magnifier more room. (Took me 3 tries on different sights...

    Hit the range Sunday...

    Recently my 2 nephews were in town with my sister and brother-in-law from Florida for a visit. They both have been dying to shoot some of my toys, but mom and dad are not shooters, so have been reluctant. The kids begged again this trip, and this time, mom said OK. Both have handled my guns...

    Norma USA TAC-22 Ammo

    Inherited a 66-2

    I am not one to "keep it the original packaging and let it add value" so I can sell it later. If I want to flip an investment I will buy stocks. I collect firearms because I enjoy firing them. My oldest ones were made in the 1890s and the newest one a few weeks ago LOL. If I own it, it works...

    New grip recommendations

    I have long been a fan of the Hogues on my AR builds. I like the sculpted finger area, and they are very comfortable when you have to hold it one-handed during mag changes, even on the heavier barrel builds. On the most recent one (300 BLK) I put on the Ergo grips. It is a tad thicker than...

    E series

    I have the two tone too, it is among my very favorites. The balance with the scandium frame is surprisingly good. Beautiful pickup!

    S&W 10 Rd Short Mags in Stock - gone!

    Just ordered a few. Love shorter for bench shooting when zeroing and for those who want to shoot a few to try it out. LOL they usually end up just draining the 25 round mag when they find out how much fun these are. Now the default "shoot a few" mag can be the shorties. I will save ammo for...
