What is the difference between a club and a range? Many of us go to a range. I happen to have a membership, other pay for each visit. A club generally imply, there is a membership. Range's are both. Most of us would join a $90 a year club with all sorts amenities if we had it as an option. I...

I have an M&P 15x and really enjoy it. I'll say this. Look around a lot, you can find a lot of rifles these day. From a decent mid range rifle to an even nicer higher end, fully mil spec + model will only set you back another few hundred. I added STR stock, Magpul AFG, rangeplates, trigger...

I was in Bass Pro for the 25th time. I always ask it they have any .22lr. The answer is always, no. I ask at Dick's Sporting Good, Academy Sports, Walmart, etc. It's always the same answer, No. Sold Out. Bass Pro told me they get some in on every truck. Tuesday, Thursday Saturday (maybe) at...

Don't ride the Slide. Power Stroke it and let it slam into battery.

Heat and a tooth pick. No?

Did S&W state the rule before your purchased? If they did and they are wrong that's an issue. If they did and they are right, rules are rules. What were the rules?

Man, people relax. So many people on the internet hang on every word and look for a chance to pounce on another, to call another guy out and try to make him feel stupid. Good thing these silly debates don't happen at the gun range in person with live ammo. We have more in common than we have...

I think the wire you are talking about is the take-down lever retaining wire. It is an original part on your pistol. Figure out how it goes in and put it back. Mine fell out too.

For the guys that mention it not working in the cold, are you leaving it wet? I leave such a small amount on my guns that even if frozen I can't imagine it would not work perfectly. I never leave a wet layer on any gun, even my AR bolt. All oils thicken in ice cold temps. I don't see how F.L...

I have not shot my 15-22 in 6 months. I can't find any ammo and don't want to shoot what I have. I've spent many hours and shot 1000's of rounds through my M&P40, 645, PC 1911 RB and M&P 15x. I switched to Frog lube in every gun. I use the liquid in my barrels to clean and paste with a...

line up all three dots. The front dot should "cover" the target. Do not use the top of the front blade like you do with black out sight. The front dot is similar to a shotgun bead.

vinegar and a tooth brush, then clean very well. vinegar will eat steel over time. do not dunk and leave in for days. I saw a bicycle frame last week that was completely dissolved in vinegar after a year of soaking. I use it a lot, but I always keep my eyes on the progress and never forget fro...

I've been using frog lube for a little less than a year. I've fired maybe 1500-2000 rounds through those guns since using. I have one gun, a M&P15-22 which is picky on ammo. I can shoot the crappiest 22lr through it now and have never had one fail to feed. Not one. I had one or two every...

I've purchased 6 Smith and Wesson's over the years (4 in the past 2 years) and still own and love them all. I've never had an issue with Smith and Wesson. Consider that the employees are what makes a company. It was an employee, a human being that most likely chipped it or did not catch a...

The problem with factory loads is, it's hard to know what powder is used and what it's burn rate is. The powder is what causes the boom and probably effect recoil as much as anything. As another person commented, grab a hand full of different types. shoot at least three at a time, make notes...

As at least one person mentioned, powder/burn rate. It makes a big difference in felt recoil. For instance, without look up at burn rates I think Bullseye is very fast and Clays is slower. Clays in my .45acp's feels really smooth and soft. Bullseye feels crisps and much heavier hitting. So many...

Your husband is right. A heavy bullet is harder to push and creates more pressure. Imagine you were shooting a load with a 1 grain bullet or basically a "blank". There will be little to no recoil. A heavy bullet in a light gun will create a heavy recoil. There area lot of factors that contribute...

After a lot of diagnosis and dry firing it seem my right thumb is nudging the thumb safety up. The grip is smaller than all of my other large caliber guns and my left hand has limited room to grip it and I'm pushing my right thumb up a bit too much. Is that a common issue with 1911's?

yep, X. I agree 100%

I personally think it is for two reasons. 1. Cost, it lowers cost and they can sell them for less and 2. and more importantly, a first time buyer may buy a sport then listen to people on forums tell him he should have spent a few more bucks and for and M&P15 with FA. Smith has now sold two guns...
