    M&P Shield Performance Center 9mm

    Maybe I'm missing something and correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the flash coming from the ports affect firing in low light? Nick

    Aftermarket Sights

    I am having my new sights installed by this gentleman. Extremely fast. He received my slide and sights yesterday and just got an email from him that they are back in the mail. Should have them in one two two days and for only $25.00. If you buy the sights off of him the sights are installed...

    M&P Shield .40 Blow Up

    Regarding pressure. It is a common misconception that the 40 S&W is higher in pressure than the 9mm. Actually they have identical saami max pressures. Have been reloading and shooting 9mm in various guns for over 40 years without a mishap. Just started reloading last fall for the 40 S&W...

    Shield performance?

    Purchased my 9mm Shield last May. Carry it everyday and have put over 1000 rounds through it without a malfunction. Fun to shoot and extremely accurate. Still stock but am looking at putting better sights on it. Front dot came off sight within first month. Using high viz paint temporarily.

    Where do you do your reloading?

    Fantastic video. Looks like you have everything well thought out. Mine is much smaller than yours but since I am without a basement, attic, or garage all of my hobbies are kept in my spare bedroom. Archery, reloading, computer, gun safe, chess sets and books.

    Problem loading .380

    All you need is a Lee taper crimp die. I use RCBS seat/crimp die in my Dillon with the die set to seat only and not crimp. The crimp die is used in stage 4, a separate operation. You will have to use trial and error to get the crimp set just right. I started reloading for the 40 S&W this summer...

    Any doctors here? Jock itch medications?

    My advise. Visit a dermatologist. Years ago I endured a severe case of athletes foot for 3 months. During that time I tried everything that was available over the counter. I finally bit the bullet and saw the doc. He took a small sample of the infected area and gave me a prescription to use...

    Are Winchester WST and W231 Same?

    That's where I am now with my supply. Have never hoarded. Just bought what I needed over the years as I needed it. Called a local outdoor store yesterday and was placed on their waiting list for a few cans of powder. Nick

    Are Winchester WST and W231 Same?

    Thanks for the reply's guys. The internet and forums like these are so helpful that I tend to access them before my reloading manuals. Which to be honest I could have easily done. I reload for 38 spl, 357 mag, 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP. Have used Bullseye and Unique for longer than I can...
