    Just finished stippling and beaver tail removal on my 1st gen full size M&P 9mm

    I have been kicking around the idea of having my 1st gen full size M&P 9mm handgun frame stippled and having the beaver tail shaved off but the pricing and wait times have kept from following through. Last week I decided to shave the beaver tail flush with the rear of the slide and it turned...

    FS: Barreled upper receiver from '09 M&P15T (bbl.assy/upper.assy) SOLD pending funds I have a used barreled upper assembly pulled from a Smith & Wesson M&P15T. I purchased the M&P15T new in September of 2009 and have put around 3,000 rounds through it since. The carbine never had any...

    New (to me) S&W 1911

    I have wanted a S&W 1911 for 10 years and I've been without a 1911 for 25 years. A local gun store recently took in a first gen S&W1911 and had it priced at $799. From what I have been able to find this appears to have been a fair price. I sat on the idea of buying it for a week before acting on...

    New M&P9c - first range report - very pleased with this pistol!

    New M&P9c: Function test went flawlessly yesterday. Put a couple boxes of ball ammo through it with no issues. The stock trigger on this M&P was better than the gritty, heavy stock trigger on mynM&P9 full size pistol. It took 10-15 rounds to find a consistent grip, after which I was able to...

    Bravo Concealment kydex holster and mag pouches - initial thoughts

    Two weeks ago I ordered a kydex holster and two kydex magazine pouches from Bravo Concealment and received my order yesterday. The holster is for my M&P9 with a threaded barrel and a SureFire X300 weapon light. I'm very impressed so far! I'd rather expected the holster would weigh more but it...

    Installed Ameriglo Classic tritium night sights on my M&P9...

    ...and I'm liking them so far. They replace the stock Novak style white dot sights. The larger dot on the front sight post helps draw focus to the front post. This holds true for the white outlines in daylight as well. I need to get more rounds downrange but I'm very impressed at this point...

    550rd Federal .22LR value pack, CMMG conversion kit w/ 3 mags, and one happy camper!

    I bought myself a birthday gift this year - a CMMG parkerized .22LR conversion kit for my AR (S&W M&P15T). It arrived Tuesday - just in time for my usual birthday routine (I take the day off every year and spend the morning at the range). Woke up Wednesday, drove to Walmart to pick up a 550...

    Installed an Apex DCAEK kit in my M&P-9 and....

    ...WOW!! What a difference! Smooth right up to a crisp break and a short, distinct reset. Fantastic!! I didn't quite make it to 500 rounds as I'd planned to before installing the kit but after 350 rounds of flawless performance I felt confident enough that the pistol is functionally sound...

    Just purchased a M&P 9mm...

    I've been thinking about buying a modern combat / service type pistol for quite some time now. The last such gun I owned was a 1st gen Glock 17 back in the 80's. I shot well with it but hated the trigger and wasn't very fond of the ergonomics (or lack there of for me). I kept at it for years and...

    ...1,000 rounds of Federal 55gr. .223 FMJ. Now that's accessorizing! :D

    Life with my M&P15T so far - thoughts, updates....

    I did quite a bit of research before choosing a new AR-15 last year. The Smith & Wesson M&P15T turned out to be the closest thing to ideal that I could find and the price was definitely right - $1150 after shipping and FFL fee. The 4140 steel barrel with 1:9 twist is more than sufficient for my...

    Quick range report - M&P15T w/ 14x mil-dot scope

    Hello all, I haven't been to the range for a while due to an injury. My son received a new stainless steel Ruger 10/22 w/ polymer stock for Christmas. We decided to take a trip to the range today to get his iron sights dialed in. I recently bought another Primary Arms scope for my Smith &...

    2nd range report - new S&W M&P15T

    I took my new M&P15T out to the range again this morning with another 100 rounds. As expected it performed flawlessly. I dialed in both the iron sights and the red dot sight quickly and then just had fun shooting at the 100 yard bench with the red dot. I now have 200 rounds through it with no...

    M&P15T with some new goodies - pics

    I received the rest of the goodies I ordered for my new M&P15T (just waiting on a sling to arrive). Magpul CTR stock, a Hogue grip, and a Streamlight tac light. The CTR stock is a definite improvement over the M4 collapsible stock and I really like the Hogue grip too! I also received a Condor...

    M&P15T inbound!!

    I sold my last AR (a pre-ban Colt A2 HBAR) back in 1988 and have regretted doing so ever since. I'm in a financial position to be able to aquire another AR and I've been trying to decide what to go with. After some research and shopping I decided to go with a S&W M&P15 Tactiacal. I found one for...
