I have a dedicated 9mm carbine which shares magazines with my 9mm compact pistol. I even went so far as to pick up a couple 33-round stick mags for the carbine. With this setup, I can "own" anything within 50 yards should society have a total meltdown. Update / addition - the carbine sports a...

Greetings from Lake County, IL. Hopefully you managed to escape Cook !!

I had to change my grip a bit, clean/dry/oil the gun, then I ran a few hundred rounds of +P and 124 grain down the pipe. Gun is now dead-to-nuts reliable. Be patient, Grasshopper, you'll get there.

Smith doesn't make the magazines for the Shield Plus .. they are sourced from Italy, specifically Mec-Gar. I asked Smith directly some 4 to 6 weeks ago. I insisted on the truth, that they NOT blow smoke up my backside. The answer I got .. they did not know when extra 13 round mags would be...

Winchester White Box - Failure to IGNITE Winchester White Box is notorious for using excessively hard primers leading to what appears to be "light" primer strikes. I had this issue with my Ruger SR9c ... I changed ammo and the problem went away. I also saw excessively hard primers with the...

Didn't like the sig P365 I shot the Sig p365. I wanted to like the p365. I really wanted to like it. First time I tried it at LGS (DS Arms, Lake Barrington, IL), the trigger was an awful pile of mush dragging through a pile of gravel. Then I shot one at the range and my decision was sealed.

No Mags any time soon The other day I sent an email to Smith asking for "the real story" about shield plus mags. I specifically asked them to not blow smoke up my backside because I had been told "in a few weeks" one too many times. Here's what they said ... Dear Customer, Thank you for...

Supported my Local Gun Store All, Good morning & Happy Independence Day !! I paid ~$540 plus local taxes at LGS at the end of April. Had I bought online, after shipping, tax and transfer fee, my out of pocket would have been about the same. As such, I chose to stay local. Now if only...

Sticky MD-4 All, Does anyone here use the "sticky" holster? A buddy of mine has a Sticky, and he swears by it. If yes, what has been your experience with it? I was thinking about it for pocket carry in cargo shorts. They are in stock at my LGS for ~$25. MD-4 Medium Sticky Holster I can...

Availability of Mags Good morning S&W Fan ... don't be so sure about what The Rep said re: additional mags hitting the supply chain soon. Various others on this forum, myself included, have asked Smith & Wesson about more mags. They all say the same thing ... "in a few weeks". Smith has...

Moving to MA @Rogue, I used to live in MA ... yup ... you're limited to 10-rounds. For mag capacity, MA permanently adopted 1994 AWB rules. Be weary of Atty Gen Maura Healey. She makes David Chipman look sane. If you're settling anywhere near the Boston area, check out Four Seasons...

Steel Plate Shoot Ran my Shield Plus today at a steel plate shoot where rapid fire is encouraged ... fed it 124gr Norma FMJ ammo ... gun ran perfectly from both the 10- and 13-round mags. Getting used to the little itty bitty sight radius will take putting some more rounds down range. What a...

@UT Guy - Love your sarcasm. Much appreciated. We both know I'm just venting an no amount of ranting will get me extra mags any faster. Thanks for the laugh. @Dave Lively - I understand enough about business, the biz cycles, demand, etc., and agree Smith did the right thing by introducing...

Shame on Smith & Wesson @LVSteve ... I say "no way" ... I will not be patient. Other than holsters which Smith does not make, what's one of the most common accessories for any pistol? Extra magazines. I recognize that Smith gets its mags from Mec-gar in Italy, and that supply chain...

Agree with pi314 Okay .. I'll continue the flame-a-thon. I fully agree w/ "pi314" on this ... two mags are not enough. My plan is to have two mags for carry, and another two for practice. And maybe a 3rd set as a backup. Like ammo, one can only have too many (loaded) mags if you're try...

I Got the Same Response I emailed Smith about extra mags .. they told me the same thing .. check back in a few weeks. I'm suspicious (my normal state of mind) this is simply a "party line" and not the truth. I hope I'm wrong.

All, I'm seeking suggestions for a pocket carry holster (think summer, cargo shorts) for my Shield Plus. If it matters, I'm right-handed. Thanks in advance. - Brad

Another vote here for the CMMG kit. I run mine in 5.56 chambered Stoner upper. I also purchased a couple of accessories from Bore Buddy .. the charging handle insert and the buffer tube plug. The former helps reduce the blowback gases hitting me in the face. The latter helps reduce "bolt...
