Trying to decide which Apex trigger upgrade to do on my full size 9mm. I usually shoot a 1911, shot my M&P today during a 2 gun shoot. Thinking about a last minute Christmas present for ME! The gun is mainly a game gun, occasional carry piece. I was looking at the duty/carry upgrade, starting to...

Getting an itch, put some dollars into an existing gun, (love to to tinker), or buy the new 2.0. Like the idea of modifying, (makes it MINE), not sure if it's worth it compared to the new 2.0. The plan for the existing gun, (M&P 9mm), Apex drop in barrel followed by trigger upgrade. What do ya...

For the last 2 months or so, I've been shooting my recently built 1911 in IDPA matches. Decided to shoot my M&P 9mm, completely stock, in today's match. The first two stages, I swear I thought the trigger was broken, I just couldn't figure out what was wrong. Third stage I really paid attention...

I have a Milt Sparks VM2 for my Sigma, a Criterion for my Fusion 1911. I'm probably going to semi retire the Sigma, the M&P almost fits the Milt Sparks VM2 holster...almost. It just doesn't feel/carry right. Need a holster for the M&P. Anyone using a VM2 or a Criterion for it? Love Milt Sparks...

I just read that General Dynamics is going to be supplying 9mm barrels to the Army for their M&P pistols. Anyone know why? The actual reason wasn't addressed in the article I read. Something special for suppressors or what?

Went to the range yesterday, trying out some new loads in my AR, brought my Sigma and decided to bring the wife's M&P, they're both 9mm. She got the M&P for IDPA, since she only uses it for that, I thought I might start carrying it instead of the Sigma, it's a better gun, right? Well, yeah, it...

My wife attended a ladies advanced concealed carry class recently. One of the instructors pointed out that she 'overgrips' the gun. It's a S&W 442, Crimson Trace, (the slightly larger gripped one, wanted a bit more cushion). She is 4'11", 100lbs, not a large person. We have attended a couple of...

Anyone ever have issues with mag drop on a Sigma? I first noticed it when shooting off a range bag, the butt of the gun resting on it. Then the other day while practicing strong hand only, dropped two outside the 'booth', (had to wait for the range to go cold to go out and pick 'em up). Pretty...

I installed the Apex trigger kit in my wife's 442 J frame, went out to the range yesterday with her and my daughter, (breaking in her new Shield while she can, pregnant). My wife had a couple of rounds that didn't go off, (She didn't say anything right away, I was busy shooting or working with...

Anyone who has used the Apex spring kit in the Sigma, any 'light strikes' using the firing pin spring? I'm not real thrilled with the kit, I bought one for my son in law for Christmas, we put it in yesterday, didn't seem to make a real difference. Pulled the sear assy out, did the standard...

Anyone have any experience with NcSTAR? I was at a local gun show, I was told this combo red dot-laser sight was designed for shot gun use. I have no experience with red dots, just finished building my first. Trying to get some idea of what's what. It SEEMED pretty good, dot brightness and all.

Does anyone know specifically the difference between a 'red dot' sight, one that looks like a tube or scope and a reflex red dot, HUD, (heads up display), holograph. Ya know, the one that looks like a small television screen. Is one better, if so, for what exactly. I recently built my first AR...

Finally got the wife's new M&P9 off layaway, (it's her IDPA gun), went out to the local range today to watch the IDPA, (we took the 'intro to IDPA' about a year ago, life and $ kept us from actually competing), after watching and figuring it out, WE'RE IN, went and broke in the new gun, she...

I was at a local Harbor Freight with a friend, saw they had tumblers, two different sizes. One a 5lb for $55, a 15lb one for $150. How big a tumbler do I need? Are these any good? I've been doing just pistol brass, just started saving 5.56 brass, going to start reloading that, (assuming I can...

Does anyone know if any of the Hi Viz sights will fit a 442? I found one for 'pinned' front sights, don't believe that includes a 442. My wife, (besides needing new glasses), is having trouble seeing the front sight and since she thinks if she really needs to use the gun, better practicing...

Getting ready to start reloading 223/5.56, need to clean cases better than I've been doing for pistol, (I'd love to have 'pretty' pistol ammo too). Pros and cons for tumblers and ultra sonic case cleaners....

I've got a Lee turret press, set up for 38 special, 9mm pistol at present. Looking at reloading AR ammo. I realize pistol and rifle reloading have different needs. Before I get started I figured I'd ask those that have done it what basics I need to know. I have some 5.56 brass accumulated, will...

My wife has an M&P 9mm on lay a way, probably won't be able to finish paying for it till after Christmas. In the meantime I'm wondering what holster might be recommended for her, OWB strictly for IDPA. I'm sure many would work, interested in opinions good and bad. I'm not pro any particular...

As my 'up close and personal' sight is fading, my interest in 'red dot' sights is gaining. I've seen some fairly cheap, under $80, has anyone installed one on a Sigma? I don't know if it will work with my IWB holster, maybe some modifying would make it work, IDK.

Bought myself an F1 Chrony for father's day, finally got around to going out to the range to try it out and my reloads. Got it set up, using the first gun, (9mm Sigma), loaded 15 rounds, three different loads, (I know 10 or more is better, wanted to see what ballpark I was in), shot and recorded...
