Tailgating on this thread... After reading this thread I didn't want to start a new one as I would expect someone on here would be able to answer what I was wondering about. Found a tremendous deal on the M & P 9mm Sub Compact (12+1, 3.6" barrel) to replace my Glock for everyday carry. The...

Thanks to everyone for their input. Looking like I'll be buying a M&P 9 full size as I have seen them for pretty good pricing and the very few .45's available appear to be several hundred dollars higher.

Can anyone direct to any dealers who might have a full size M&P 2.0 in .45acp? Have been scouring Gunbroker.com for a bit and seems like there are quite a few Shields in 45 but no new full sized models. Thanks in advance and stay healthy!

Good question, Drm50, should have added this to the initial post. I only fired maybe 4-5 cylinders through it before reaming and did have misfires also. I appreciate the feedback and will be ordering a new mainspring tomorrow morning. Glad I joined this site, lots of good info on here.

That was my inclination, Colt SAA, but I wasn't sure if it was the mainspring or the slide rebound spring. Thanks for the feedback, Sir.

The federal agency I retired from issues the M&P 45. It has been in the field about 12 years I would guess. They M&P seemed to hold up very well which says something about the durability of the basic design as they shoot WAY more than just about any agency that comes to mind. Overall it seemed...

I recently purchased a Model 34 with round butt and nickel finish made about 1980 in excellent condition. It had very difficult extraction of empty cases but I found a series of posts on this site to ream the chambers myself after having trouble finding a local gunsmith to do the job for me...

Concratulations! Beautiful gun, making me want to start the hunt for a Model 14 although I probably need a Model 18 more at this time.

After reading the feedback from current / previous M & P 22 users I hope to pick one up later this year as a plinker / understudy to my M & P 9 compact. Not a big fan of thumb safeties with a striker fired pistol, can anyone advise if it is removable on the .22 M & P? Thanks in advance for the...

Thanks KS Charlie, appreciate your looking it up for me.

Just wow, thank you for sharing this beautiful work of art with us.

I've been looking around on the web for a little while and came upon a nice looking Model 34-1. I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out as I only have a partial serial number: M149XXX Any help is appreciated, just trying to get some idea of how old the gun is. Thanks in advance.

All good points above, I appreciate the feedback. I gave serious consideration to finding a K frame as I know the DA pull on a J frame can leave a lot to be desired but given my daughters diminutive hand size I was concerned about the reach to the trigger and weight so I've settled on a J frame...

I'm in the market for a S&W Kit Gun to use to teach my teen age daughters to shoot with. I realize that a nice example can sell for a fair amount of money but believe that the quality is worth the investment. I was hoping to get your opinion on which model I should focus my search on. I...

Greetings to all and looking forward to being a member here. I found the site while trying to learn more about Model 34 Kit Guns as I need to teach the daughters how to safely and effectively shoot a handgun. I was thinking the kit gun was a pretty good way to start. I have pretty wide ranging...
