    Can anyone thing of a reason I shouldn't use Remington 6.5 (small rifle) primers in LIGHT plinking loads for a 38 special? I bought some on accident and would like to find a use for them.

    Buffer group question

    I've been firing IMI 5.56 ammo out of my sport ll. The ejected brass is hitting the brass deflector so hard that the deflector is actually a brass color when I'm done shooting. This is my first civilian AR. I've fired a lot of AR's but they've all been the A2's the army gave me. I don't...

    warren sights for M&P?

    Thinking of getting a warren tritium front sight for my m&p. Is the white ring that goes around the lamp paint (like trijicons) or is it plastic (like meprolights)?

    Apex DCAEK Longevity??

    I was getting ready to buy the DCAEK from Midway when I read one of the reviews. A former NYS LEO said he put around 3k rounds downrange when the trigger started getting lighter and lighter. He said it finally got down around 2lbs so he put the stock sear back in. Is there anyone out there w/...

    My thoughts on sites

    I've noticed that in the past, when I've done force on force training I tended to not use my sights much. This has been true w/ both m16 and beretta when the target has been at close range; The closer the target the less likely I've been to remember my sites. I've also noticed that when I'm at...

    striker block and reset?

    Does the striker block in the M&P have anything to do w/ how the trigger resets? I notice the block is similar the one in a cz75 or 1911 but I don't see a lifting lever. If that's the case I don't see how the block will have anything to do w/ how short the reset is.

    reset for M&P thumb safety

    I'm looking for a way to improve the reset on my M&P w/ thumb safety. I'd like the reset to be a shorter and more noticeable. I understand the Apex RAM kit won't work w/ this pistol. Thought of installing the AEK trigger and hard sear, would that work?

    Help reloading 38 special

    Been reloading a long time but I'm new to this round. Can anyone recommend a soft recoiling powder that comes halfway close to filling the case? Also, I got some lead wadcutters that are shaped like cylinders (they don't really have a nose). Do I need to lube the bullets or anything like...

    Why isn't 357 sig popular?

    It seems like 357 sig would be popular w/ IPSC or IDPA shooters but from what little I've seen it isn't. It's supposed to be an extremely accurate round and it's about as powerful as 38 super so why don't more people use it? It's also said to be extremely reliable.

    Leade in m&p

    I'm new to reloading for the m&p9 so I checked to see how much leade I have today. I used a 124gr xtp for my little test. I came up w/ 1.140 for a max COL so it looks to me like I've plenty of leade. Is this consistent w/ what others have found?

    Holster for m&P w/ safety

    I'm looking for a holster that will fit my m&p w/ ambidextrous safety. I very much prefer leather. I'm extremely fond of the mitch rosen in the dillon catalog but don't know if it'll work w/ my safety. If I can't find a leather one I'll probably settle for the plastic raven. Anyone have any...

    How to keep sights in place?

    I had a set of ameriglos put on my new M&P. The rear sight has a set screw but it came loose when I was shooting yesterday. I would really like to stay away from red loctite. Thought about putting some blue loctite in the dovetail grooves instead of on the screw but I'm afraid some might work...

    Shot my M&P for the first time today

    What a tack driver! On one occasion I put 2 bullets through the same hole during a speed drill. Grip's a little slippery so I'll probably have the front and backstrap stippled. This is my 1st striker fired pistol so the trigger's gonna take a little getting used to; it's a little heavy but it...
