    Hello all, just got done installing the d/caek kit on my new M&P 40C, wanted to share my observations.... First stock gun, trigger pull right at 6 1/2 lbs, with really gritty take up and break. Not the greatest but compared to some factory triggers not the worst. So first up is the USB and...

    NJ Residents....

    Has anyone (NJ resident that is) actually had a nics check go through in the last two weeks, I understand delays associated with the high volume but it seems like there are less nics checks being processed now that the NJSP have supposedly authorized additional staff and overtime to clear the...

    Well finally got my first S&W revolver, it's a 642, intended purpose is as a bug, ankle and pocket carry. Holy cow what does the factory set the trigger pull at, had to be 15 lbs +. I put the Wolff shooters pack spring kit in it, 8 lb hammer spring and the 13 ls trigger spring and really...

    Clearcoat finish on a 642

    Recently picked up my 642, haven't had the chance to get to the range yet but what do you guys/gals find to be the best for cleaning that is mild enough not to eat the finish. Do you all just use Hoppe's and nylon brushes or is there some other favorite solvent. Does anyone have any experience...

    Finally picked up my bug, it's a 642, I plan on carrying either in the pocket or ankle carry. May occasionally carry on the belt iwb or owb. Looking for suggestions on holsters, I intend on putting a Laserlyte laser on it. I don't really care for the CT's because of the small size of the...

    Which would you rather have?

    I have a Ruger GP100 4" that I will mix into the cc rotation, I've gotten the bug to go with some wood stocks. I can buy the Hogue Goncalo Alves at a really good price but also like the look and feel of the Badger GP100 grip. Which would you guys prefer for fit, finish, etc.

    Slim profile handguards

    Looking to replace my handguard, I'd like a quad rail and for it to be as narrow as possible, I have small hands and find that the stock handguard is kind of beefy. Not looking to break the bank either, I'd appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks, Rick

    Preferred powders for 5.56

    Hello all, I recently put together an AR. I am looking for suggestions on what your preferred powders are for 55 gr and 62 fmj. I currently have W748, I3031, I4895, RE15, Benchmark and I4064 on hand that would work, or should I consider something like H335/W844. I'm not really concerned about...

    Looking for some input on knives, looking for a spring assisted folder, preferably 440 stainless or better with good locking and grip properties. 3-4" blade, tanto or drop point to be a switch off to my Snap On Ken Onion design made by Kershaw. Now I know you get what you pay for but don't...

    Your opinions please...

    S&W Mod 642 38 sp +p or Sig P250c 9mm and get the 45 conversion kit. I can get the sig for $375, the 642 or $380. This would be for a second carry gun instead of lugging my gp100. I figure with the sig I can practice with the 9mm then swap out the fcu and carry as a 45.

    Hello all...

    Hello all, new member here, just purchased my first S&W Pistol, it's an SD9. I've been a 1911 kind of guy since my days in the military and figured it was time to come into the 21'st century. I've only put two full mags through it so far but I'm completely satisfied so far. Looking forward to...
