I'm looking to buy a Shield because I want a thinner gun for IWB carry. Before I moved out of Massachusetts, I bought both an 3.5" (carry) and 4.25" (competition) M&P. Both got APEX sears and striker blocks, but I kept the heavier MA trigger springs. I like the slightly heavier trigger. I'm...

I find that the accuracy on my S&W 908 and 910 are both significantly worse than the accuracy on my M&P's (which are worse than my SW1911...). I don't know if it's the shooter, the guns, the weather, or what, but on paper it's pretty significant. My gun shop currently has two 6906's, both...

Does anyone know what the sight cuts are on the 3" SW1911 Pro Series (SKU 178020)? Also, can someone confirm that takes standard (with fitting) ambi safeties, officer sized grip panels, and officer sized magazines?

After a little rust and a run-in with duracoat, I broke down and sent the slide on my 908 to Accurate Plating & Weaponry to be refinished. I had them chrome plate the slide and extractor. Total cost was $151 including disassembly/reassembly/shipping, and it took them just under a month. It...

I'm trying to upgrade my 908, but I'm having some trouble finding parts. Does anyone know where I can find: - A steel disconnector - A ambidextrous safety assembly (preferably black like a 3914) - A hammer with a spur (preferably black) - A metal 3913-style magazine release I've already got a...

Can any of you tell me what the dimensions are on the front and rear sight cuts on S&W models 3913 and 6906?

I could use some suggestions on where/who/how to get a S&W 908 refinished. I bought the 908 as a carry gun. After two summer days in a leather IWB holster, there was some pitting and orange stuff (looked like powdered rust) on the slide. Quickly going over it with Militec-1 caused all the...

I've got a used S&W 910. At a USPSA practice this evening, somone pointed out that the gun is ejecting the cases almost straight back (over my head). I'm used to guns ejecting off to the right instead of straight back. Anyone know if this is a problem, and what would cause it? I'm guessing...

I'm thinking about picking up a set of Trijicon night sights for my 908. I've installed a few handgun sights in the past, and all of them had some nice, flat, non-angled surface at the base so you could push/pound them into place. It looks like the Trijicon front sight for the 908 is angled...

I'm trying to find a way to reduce the trigger pull weight, especially in the double action pull, on a S&W 910 that's going to be used for competition. I find shooting "weak hand only" with the double action pull is almost impossible for me. I'm looking at wolff replacement spings. Am I correct...

Does anyone know if the sights on a S&W 910 can be used on a 908? I own both guns and it sure looks like the sights are identical, but it would be nice if someone can confirm that before I go out and order new sights for my 908 to match my 910.

Would a 3913 slide just drop in on a 908 frame? Also, are all 3913 slides stainless? Do they take standard novak sights? I've got a LITTLE rust on my carry 908, and the price of getting it refinished 70% of the cost of a new 3913 slide.

Does anyone know if it's possible to add a small "tactical" light to a S&W 908, without using duct tape?

Does anyone know of 9mm carbines that use 59-series magazines? The only one I've found so far is the Keltec Sub-2000, but I'm sure there's got to be more. I'm in the market for a 9mm rifle (cheap ammo), and being able to use the same magazines for both rifle & pistol would be nice.

Anyone know of a decent source of preban (pre-1994) full capacity magazines that will fit in a S&W 910? State law prevents me from buying new full capacity magazines, but magazines that predate the 1994 federal AWB are legal. I shoot IDPA (limited to 10 rounds/mag), and I've had a few failures...

Is dry firing a S&W 910 going to cause any significant damage/wear to the pistol if I'm using a snap cap? Thanks.

Anyone know what tools are needed to install this front sight on a S&W910? Now that I finally have the gun working, I'd like to get it setup for IDPA. I've never used a FO front sight, but it seems like almost everyone I see at matches is using them.

I just bought a used S&W 910 today. Took it apart to clean, and I can't seem to reassemble it. I've got the barrel, recoil spring, and guide rod back in the slide. I put the slide back on the frame (pushing down three pins in the back of the frame that stick up), but it won't move far emough...

I've had a little rust problems with a S&W 908 that I use for carry, so I was thinking about trying to get it refinished with something more resistant. Do any of you have experience with the "Glass Bead Nickel (except Stainless) $200" finish? I assume that's a plating that can be applied to the...

Does anyone know a good way to clean the rust off the slide of a S&W 908, or at least a way to slow down new rust creation? I've been carrying for months in a Uncle Mike size 4 pocket holster, and just switched to a High Noon Split Decision. After four days, there is some rather heavy rust on...
