    Safe .32-20 Ammo

    I thought this would be a more effective section to post in than Ammunition, mostly because it's the only place it applies. I searched for (and failed to find) an old thread regarding what factory loads are safe in 1902/05 .32-20s. I believe one was Remington R32201, 100gr LRN. I wanted to be...

    3in J-Frame Ankle Rig?

    Have I completely lost it, or is this a half decent idea? I've decided on a 3" J instead of the snubbie, and would like to add a .357 BUG (possibly a hand-off) to my routine. I won't replace my M&P40c, and I have complete faith in my more concealable pocket P3AT. An ankle rig is an obvious...

    Another Good Day At The Range

    I had a few goals this time: continue breaking in the 4516 and try some SD loads, line in the Crimson Trace for my P3AT and try some SD loads, and try the Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel in my M&P40c. First, the conversion. It worked great! Just swap the barrel, break out the 9mm mags, and...

    Gotta Hear

    I was directed to this and I had to share it. YouTube - Thank You Soldiers - Veteran's Day/Memorial Day Song God bless the men and women who put themselves in harm's way so that those back home can remain safe and free. Words cannot fully express our gratitude, but these kids do a wonderful...

    What's in your stockpile?

    We all know that the wise take advantage of times of plenty to prepare for times of little. In other words: stock up on ammo if you can. But what type? Practice or self defense loads or both? Obviously both, but to what ratio? Thoughts, opinions, empiracle knowledge welcome.

    IWB Holster for 4516

    I just purchased a beautiful specimen of 4516 from handgunner (thanks again, Mark), and am trying to find a good holster for it. My current EDC M&P40c is riding in a Kholster, but they don't offer a model for a 4516 (I just sent them an email regarding creating one). I've been checking on a few...

    A Timely One For Caj:D

    A Cajun died and went to hell. The devil assigned him the usual punishment... put him in the mass pit where the heat was melting others. The devil came back later surprised to find the Cajun just sitting around, not even misting, much less sweating. "How come you're not so much as sweating here...

    M&Pc .357 Sig barrel

    I've gotten around to buying a Factory .357Sig barrel for my M&P40c, but I can't find one. Midway has every possible barrel for the M&P line except this one!:eek: I've checked a few others and no luck, I also did a quick search and still no luck. Storm Lake makes them but I'd rather have the...

    Dan Wesson .357

    I did a double take at a gun shop the other day. As I was waiting for service I noticed a Dan Wesson 6" .357. Most of all, I noticed the price of $399!!! Just then I was waited on and soon left pretty.... lets say angry, and didn't ask about the gun. Now I can't get it out of my mind and plan to...

    I know it started with a C!! I think...

    Here's a vague question but I've found great knowledge here and am certain someone has the answer. A few months back there was a heads-up here about a site with a sale on mags, in addition to regular great prices. I got 2 M&P40 FS mags for about $30 each. I can't find the invoice but I'm...

    Help!!! 457 or 4516?

    I've found myself in a small predicament, but the good kind. I'm trying to decide between a 457 or 4516, both NIB stainless models and about the same price. Let's call it for use as a collectible shooter/possible house gun, not a workhorse carry gun. I'm leaning toward the 4516, but I'd...

    Glock mags in Sigma: Fact or Fiction?

    I've been seeing alot of contradiction as to whether Glock mags will work in a Sigma. Some argue that with the controversial beginning of Sigmas its no problem at all, and holds true to the VE line. I've also seen some confusing the caliber of .40S&W as meaning for a S&W [Sigma] gun. Further, I...

    I have found a major problem with this forum...

    It's DANGEROUS!!! Mostly to my wallet and bank account, but also to my social connections besides those who share my love of firearms. From being exposed to beautifully crafted pieces of art that all of us lust after, to fresh options for what will be our next conquest, to radically...

    M&P45c Options/Product #

    I've decided my next new purchase will be a M&P45c as a big little brother to my 40c. I'm looking for the same features as the 40c: no safety and Novak low mount sights. I'd like to add factory night sights if they're available. So far it looks like 109308, but I'm not sure about the style of...

    Big A+ and thanks to Tactical Defense Solutions (TDS)

    I recently discovered TDS and just received my 2nd order from them (2.5?). It arrived pretty fast and was in fine order except that one item was not right. I immediately shot an email back telling them about the situation and not even 16 hours later the correct item was on its way (bright and...

    Micro Pistol Ankle Rig

    I'm in the market for an ankle holster for my Kel-Tec P3AT. I've seen the posts about ankle rigs, but they are all regarding revolvers or larger pistols (I do believe I could pull off ankle carrying my M&P40c, but it's a bit heavy with quite a bit of walking. I'll leave it on my hip when I'm not...

    209 Derringer

    I came across this in the Cabela's catalog. It's a Derringer that uses ONLY a 209 shotgun primer to shoot a .177 pellet. Looks pretty fun to me.:D Does anyone have one?

    M&Pc Barrel Swap

    I have an M&P40c and am looking for prices on a .357SIG barrel. I just came across a .40/.357 to 9mm swap barrel from Storm Lake. It claims that by using their barrel and a 9mm mag I can convert my 40c to 9mm. Does anyone have any experience with the company? Or better yet, this swap? Select...

    Taurus 1911

    Does anyone have any experience with one? A buddy is giving them a serious look. He's looking to spend under around $600 on a carry gun and the bull falls right in there. The features look pretty good but I know the company's record with semi-autos. Is it worth checking out? A side note and a...

    Let the test begin!

    I finally got the .40 ammo I wanted (TYVM to Ammunition To Go:D), so I can finally start testing through my M&P40c. I have, all in 180gr: Federal Hydra-Shok Speer Gold Dot Hornady TAP Remington Golden Sabre I wanted a couple more, but this was difficult enough, maybe in the future. For now...
