    Is there a gen2 M&P on the way?

    I overheard at the LGS and from someone picking up a police trade in that there is a "gen2" on the way. Is that just the M&P with the larger sear spring or is it something else? I've found no confirmation else where.

    Bud's 9mm police trade in...

    I dropped the $$$ on a used one for backup purposes. I like my 40 and 9 I already have and was looking for a possible spare but wanted it as cheap as possible. Pretty was not a requirement. These guns are not in "bad" shape and need a serious cleaning. I put mine in the ultrasonic cleaner for...

    Which brass cases for 40s&w reloads???

    Is there much of a difference between Speer, Win, Fed, or ...etc. when reloading for 40S&W? I am using 180gr Berry's FP plated bullets and normally use mixed headstamps, but, I'd like to keep things sorted going forward. Thoughts on sticking with SPEER/blazer brass vs FC? Everything gets run...

    P-11 keltec mags in 6904?

    I know keltec owners regularly buy up the 59xx magazines for their P-11s, but, for my 6904, I want to know if it works the other way. Can I use a P-11 mag for my S&W?

    Mini-review: parkerized M&P40 mags from 44mag

    $19 each is a pretty good deal. But, they don't drop as fast out of the shoot as does factory/coated mags. So, I took the 6 I ordered and cleaned/degreased them and then coated the with AluminHyde II (flat black). I used my heat gun for 2-3 min on each one to do a quick dry off and they will...

    Police trade in M&P40 review...

    I already have a full size 45, midsize 45, full size 9 and 40. I was not really interested in picking up another M&P full size, but, thought the deal was too good to pass up. And I had a spare DCAEK for a full size M&P9/357/40 that I had won in a raffle. So, I grabbed the last one they had in...

    Remington Golden Saber 230gr +P

    I seem to recall purchasing a couple smaller boxes many years ago (2004) but I have not seen any in quite some time. Anyone know if these are still available?

    Any news on a carbine that uses M&P mags?

    I saw a reference to one a while back that specifically was NOT 59/40 magazine based. I wish I could find the link again but it was either keltec or an actual S&W (possibly Walther?) that would make this. I'd like to ditch my G17 and Sub2K for an all M&P type setup with the same caliber and...

    Wadcutters for the 44spl and magnum?

    I've been hunting for either a bullet caster or a mold for my 44s. I'm looking for a 44 (.430) version of this....

    FYI: Differences between Barnes XPB bullets for 44s

    Every once in a while I see folks ask this, but, nobody has posted a "side by side" comparison. Well, I just got my back order in from Cabelas and here are the differences. [snapped a photo with the smartphone for all to see... 44MAG on the left, 44SPL on the right] NOTE: You cannot use the...

    Why I reload...

    Well, even though some ammo is starting to trickle into retailers, it's still slim pickings and at prices. So, my bud who newly acquired both a gp100 and an M&P9 asked for some relief. We sat down with the single stage and did 200 rds of 357 and the another 300 of 9mm. Took a few hours but...

    If I see one more M&P with a chappy stippling job for sale...

    I can't believe all the M&P pistols with crappy stipple jobs and bushwhacked sights. And folks are saying they want $900+ for them just cause they have a few extra mags. A local seller posted on another board that it had less than 2k rounds and felt it was worth it. Sorry, no used plastic...

    Just picked up 1k of 38spl range brass...

    Half of it is PMC, the rest is blazer brass, win, fed, r-p, and cbc. I tumbled and sized/deprimed the pmc brass already and they look good. Still have to finish cleaning the other cases. I scored a pair of speer 158gr lrn boxes and I have a pound of w231 that needs using. After I clean the...

    9mm load workup results... 115gr

    Just got back from the range after testing out a 9mm load. I started with 5.9gr of power pistol and 115gr zero bullets I had laying around, Fmj. I stopped at 6.4gr. CCI primers and R-P once fired brass. So far, so good. I think the 6.4gr is the max I would dare load to. I think 6.2gr...

    Bud came over and we loaded him up some 38spl +P

    Old time friend comes by today. Shows up with 500+ federal 38spl +P cases and wants some loaded up. Well, I am not a manufacturer so I quickly reminded him: 1) power is not free 2) primers are not free 3) bullets are not free He shows me a 12 pack of Summit IPA and responds "Will this cover...

    Holster for my 627-5 bloodwork came in

    I finally got my custom holster from El Paso for my 627-5 snubbie. Took 6 weeks, as I had ordered it just after the first of the year. VERY stiff, but, that is because its lined. I've had the revolver in the holster for about a week and its molded nicely in there. Fits like a glove now. I...

    Found a leather paddle holster for my 5904

    Been searching high and low for a good paddle holster with retention for my 5904. I wanted to go with Leather this time, as kydex tends to look "cheap". So, after much google-fu and about to give up, I ran into this link: Leather PADDLE Holster - with retention Lots of adjustment in it and...

    Any luck with Lyman 9mm 356637 molds?

    I have a line on one of these molds for dirt cheap.. unused Although I am not opposed to cast bullets in 9mm, I am wondering if these shoot well in either the M&P 9mm (full size) and the 5906/5904 barrels. And any load data that folks have come across. Brass is Rem and Win with Rem SP...

    Getting promag bodies to work in my 5904

    Well, I had 2 promag bodies that looked and worked almost 100% like my factory 15rd mag. I could just not get it to feed reliably even though all the measurements taken from them appeared to be spot on. Till I swapped out the follower with an orange one from the factory stainless mag. BINGO...
