    M&P9 FS IWB

    I got a galco v-hawk. I love it. No need for me to look any further for an iwb holster. I've worn it for a couple years now. Still in great shape. It came with belt loops. I bought the metal clips extra and tried them for awhile. When the holster came unclipped at a dinner function, I went...

    First day at range with 9c

    I think you did a fine job. Don't be so quick to start looking for aftermarket parts. Practice with your firearm. 50 rounds is hardly a practice session.

    Damn clown

    Ok. I went to the circus with the family. This clown hoes to the audience opposite me and picks one guy to follow him, the walks and picks another, then he walks over in my direction and picks me to go to the center ring with him. Now I have a full size m&p at 4 o'clock in a Galco v-hawk. I'm...

    I'm only gonna buy 9mm or .357...really.

    Ruger American vs. Marlin 7 .270

    I bought a ruger American in 223 and absolutely love it. It's very accurate. Comes from factory with free float barrel. Had an issue with the rotary magazine fail to feed the last round. Contacted ruger and they sent me a range tested replacement at no cost.

    Remington 1911

    I like the fact it has the 3 white dot sight picture. Im used to that because of the factory sights on my m&p's. I'm also excited about the fact the r1 has a match grade barrel from the factory. To me that's another extra on top of a great price.

    Remington 1911

    I found myself looking at 1911's, but there was no way I was going to spend $1000 ( not my accountant let me) on one. Just not in the budget. There a few to choose from but I was reluctant at their quality. I went to cabelas for some other stuff and saw a remington 1911 r1 for 650$. I couldn't...

    Ruger American

    So I bought my 11 year old son a ruger American for Christmas. The idea was a decent .223 bolt action with a shorter barrel and a shorter length of pull. He is a long armed skinner kid so I didn't wanna get a compact or youth size. I also wanted to find Somethin with a synthetic stock to help...

    Any reason to buy full size M&P

    I bought a full size first. Then I bought a shield. Then I bought a compact. I don't regret any of them. Then question is not why. But why not. If you got the itch… scratch it. You won't be sorry.

    Texas long guns

    So the other day I was conversing with a fellow gun owner. We got on the subject of vehicle carry. Then we started talking of long guns. I made the comment that in Texas long guns in Texas vehicles had to be in plain sight. He disputed me and began looking it up. Everywhere we looked there were...

    Current carry: what's on you right now?

    Just got home from a Sunday lunch at moms. Changed into a comfortable t-shirt to watch football. But I still have my .40 shield IWB. I did put up the extra mag.

    What back strap do you use on your M&P?

    I use the large on both fs and compact. When I first got my compact I never took off the small. 3 range trips later I realized why the recoil was unmanageable. ��

    Weak recoil spring?

    My hands fit better with the large. Allows for a better grip, better control.

    Weak recoil spring?

    So me and the wife went back out to the range. I have just recently changed the backstrap to the large size. The recoil felt so much better. No feeling as if the slide was flying off. Not sure why I didn't think of it before. I shoot my full size with the large strap on. It made a world of...

    Do you still have your first Sigma/SW/SD?

    I bought a sw40ve allied forces edition used. Good looking handgun. I even got used to the long trigger. Unfortunately I had to sell it in order to get my first M&P. finances were tight at the time and I am not a patient person. Bought it for 400$. Sold it and a box of 50fmj for 425$. Then got a...
