    One came back

    Thought you folks would enjoy this. Early last year I received a letter from a Northern California Sheriff's Office Evidence Division. It asked if a pistol was mine that they had in evidence. ?? Well, I wasn't missing any guns so I gave them a call. The gun was an M&P .45. They told me the...

    Sights for a 625 JM?

    Hi Gents, I'm a rookie when it comes to revolvers. I recently purchased a 625 JM. I love the revolver but my old eyes would appreciate a rear sight with a wider/deeper notch and maybe a narrower front sight blade. What do I need and where do I find them? Thanks! ETA: almost forgot to add...

    WTB M&P 3-dot sights.

    I recently got a police trade-in M&P .45acp. The night sights are dim and a little grungy. I'm thinking I'll just replace them with some 3-dot sights. I know a lot of folks ditch the stock sights for night sights or tru-glo etc. Anyone have a set of M&P take-off sights? Thanks! Cliff

    Got a used M&P .45 from Buds. I'm satisfied

    Picked up my "Superbuy" M&P .45 today from my local dealer. In the box was the gun, three mags, two grip panels and a manual. As received the mag release was flipped to the right side and the large grip was installed. This gun does not have a manual safety or a mag safety. So I cleaned it...

    Called my M&P .45 to duty

    My agency allows carry of individual owned weapons. After I got rid of my agency Glock I carried a nice S&W 1911 for a while. I recently decided to retire it because of weight and low capacity. So, what to carry?? I decided on my M&P .45 mid size. It's always been an accurate and reliable...

    My M&P 9mm 151215LE

    Thought I would share my thoughts on my new 151215LE M&P 9mm. This is the LEO version that comes with 3 magazines, night sights and the PVD finish. This particular gun sat for awhile on a dealer’s shelf. Date on the fired case is 10-18-13. The barrel has one dimple. The finish is dark and...

    M&P 9mm FS, is this normal?

    Picked up my new 151215LE M&P 9mm today. I like it. This will be my 5th M&P pistol. All the others were in .45 acp. The trigger on this one is the best of the bunch. I would say about equal to a standard Glock trigger. This is the first M&P I've had where I have no desire to mess with the...

    Got a new .45C today. Thoughts on the trigger

    I've had three M&P .45s prior to this one. A full size, a compact, and a mid size. Quite frankly the triggers in all three were pitiful and needed help from Apex. I expected the same with this one. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was not as bad as I expected. It is gritty but that's...

    "Coated" cast bullets

    So not long ago I started reading about coated bullets and became interested. Specifically the Hi-Tek-Lube coating from Australia. I decided to try them out and placed an order with SNS Casting for 500, .45 200 grain SWC coated bullets. The price was reasonable and they were shipped very...

    Bianchi 5BHL N Frame 5" holster, RH

    Got a very nice holster left over after selling my 625. This is for a large frame revolver with 5" to 5.5" barrel. It is an older holster, suede lined and not stamped made in Mexico. Used little and in great shape. I believe the part number is 18429. How about $45 shipped. Price lowered to $35

    Troy MRF-308 and Muzzle Brake installed - pics

    Hi Folks, In a previous thread I installed a Troy TRX-308 handguard on my M&P 10. It was ok but I prefer a quad rail. So, last week I installed a Troy MRF. I intended to take pics of the install but it was a non-issue. Troy supplies a barrel nut with both handguards and they are identical...

    M&P 10 with Troy Handguard and VLTOR stock

    My parts arrived so I thought I would share a few details of my M&P 10 modifications. I got in a YHM clamp type low profile gas block, a 12" Troy TRX-308 handguard and a VLTOR IMod buttstock. Here is the upper receiver in the vice and ready to dismantle. The receiver blocks are from...

    M&P 10 Range review

    Here is a short range review I wrote a couple of days ago on picking up my M&P 10: My M&P 10 arrived at the dealer this afternoon. I picked it up after work and brought her home. The M&P seems well made and finished. The trigger is not bad for an AR pattern gun, very little creep with a...

    M&P 45 bad mag springs

    I recently purchased a M&P 45. Within a couple hundred rounds I started to have issues with one of the mags not locking back the slide. Then the mag had problems feeding. I dismantled the mag and found I had a collapsed mag spring. I did an internet search and it seems this is an ongoing...

    M&P .45C or a NIB 457?

    I’m thinking of the addition of a compact .45 to my collection. The M&P 45C is at the top of my list. I have a full size M&P 45 and it’s a great gun. Then I spotted a NIB S&W 457 at my dealer for $499. Looks like a very nice little 45. I’m only reading good things about it. Now I’m...
