    Another M&P backstrap question (sorry guys)

    Order extra from MidwayUSA. I got 3 extra and filed one down. Still working on it. :D I got a brown for my 45 and can tell them apart. :)

    Is the M&P pistol fully cocked when a round is chambered?

    :o My bad. A M&P is shot in SSP. The last time I shot IDPA I had a 9mm Tactical XD. I was told I had to shoot ESP. :o It doesn't make any difference to me then or now about SSP or ESP. :D I like IDPA, just not available like USPSA.

    Is the M&P pistol fully cocked when a round is chambered?

    First, I agree with BlackAgnes. You can get M&Ps with thumb safties. I didn't, I depend on the internal safties. It is dumb to carry a semi-auto without a round in the chamber. You got a club until you work the slide. :rolleyes: But, for IDPA, the XD and M&P are considered single action and...

    Hello to everyone, Trying to figure out what I have here M&P 40L?

    It is the same handgun as the 5 inch M&P Pro 40, without the performance sear and fiber optic sights. I saw the 40L advertised on Gallery of Guns, but never saw one available. Then it disappeared. Order the same parts as the 40 M&P Pro. :) It may be that they exist only as a LEO version...

    M&P 45 vs. 1911 Accuracy & reliability

    Remember you are posting on the M&P forum. :rolleyes: Most are here because they like the M&P. I am that way. :D A lot of people on this forum have 1911s & like them. I am that way. :D You have a tough choice to make. :confused: I would favor the M&P 45. :D

    Dawson Sights

    What barrel length do you have, buserpcr? I have a 5 inch PRO. :) I should say Pros. I have a 40 that still has factory sights. I really like my Dawson sights on the 9mm. That is the firearm I use most for USPSA. Like you, I was 6 inches low at 15 yards. I did sight picture research and...

    A 38 Special Defensive Load

    Right now my defensive 38 load is 5.1 grains Win231 with a 125 grain HP. That is .1 grain shy of a +P load. The gun is a Ruger LCR. :o (Sorry, I got it before S&W came out with their latest j-frame) But I have 686's and a 625 to make up for it. :p The question is, does a faster powder work...

    Can you do it with a M&P??

    You have to get a 9mm conversion barrel specifically made to function in a 40 S&W M&P. Go to Storm Lake. There are other makers. The 9mm mags will fit in the 40 M&P and visa versa. :) Even the slide and barrel assemblies interchange. I have both calibers and tested it, but have not fired...

    whats the best progressive press?

    I have heard nothing but good about Dillon. But the original expense was WOW, and by the time you buy extra calibers :eek: I got the Hornady. Their service is excellent. Make sure you get a generation 2 Hornady powder measure with the progressive. It has a vertical return spring while the...

    Returned the Chrony and got a Competition Electronics

    I will put in a OK for a F1 Shooting Chrony, cheapest model. I got mine from MidwayUSA. Used it once and thought it was too sunny cause it got funny readings. :( Used it again this spring, and again and got really funny readings. Read a thread by, saw pictures of, OCD1's cardboard...

    Dawson Sights

    I have Dawson sights on my M&P Pro 9mm 5 inch barrel. They advised .305 height sight and that is what I got. It was too high and they sent a .285 hight sight, .100 inch wide FO, no charge. This works. I sight with actual top of the sight, not the FO, using classic sight alignment. POA is POI. I...

    my first "combat match" (IPSC) match in 20 years-what I saw there

    I went to a USPSA monthly club match Saturday. Three guys were there with revolvers on the squad I was on. There is a fourth guy that likes to shoot revolver, but I was shooting my M&P 9mm. :rolleyes: I know the revolvers guys had just as much fun as the rest of us, and it lasted longer for...

    reloading is it wort it?

    You do know that the $115 is just for the bullet. You have to provide the case primer, powder and way to get them assembled. ;) Ultimately, you save money but you end up spending even more to shoot more. :D I particapate in USPSA and cowboy shooting. They would not be half as much fun if I...

    Major Power Loads for 40 S&W - What Bullet?

    I want to shoot Limited major power level with my M&P 40. :D I have some 165 grain Rainiers and load them up with 5.3 g of Win 231 which gives 1001 fps and a power factor of 165 right at the required power level. Nice controllable recoil. :D And good enough for practice. :) This is a max load...
