Looking at pics of the M&P I can't help but wonder about that strange trigger. I've never owned a plastic gun and having a crazy looking trigger is not making it any easier to accept. I'm either buying an M&P 40 or a Beretta 96 in 40cal. The Beretta is a lot more traditional in appearance than...

Searching a few of the bettter known suppliers everyone seems to be back ordered on replacement barrels for a full size 9mm. Is this an item that is usually available or has there been a problem finding them. I don't actually need one right now but I do plan on buying one and was just checking...

I was in the market for a new full sized pistol in either 9mm or .40 cal (.40 preferrred) and was not even considering the M&P because I wanted an external hammer and the option of single action. However, I have run into what looks to me like a fantastic deal on one with less than a box of .40...

What do you guys think of the the factory adjustable rear sights found on the gen 3 auto's. I see them on line with fixed or adjustable. All things being equal I would lean toward adjustable (non ccw weapon) but would like to hear some opinions from owners. thanks

Well, I guess my title pretty much sums up my question.

Okay, sorry if this is a stupid question. Regarding the reduced mag capacity of the guns manufactured during the hi-cap ban. The only difference is the magazine right? Guns are the same?

I have been told that in selecting a 3rd gen Smith that it's better to go with the all steel on a used gun because the alloy frames tended to wear in the slide area because of the steel slide against the softer alloy. Also that down the road if it was decided to refinish the gun it would be a...

I was wondering if there were either Smith or aftermarket sights available for the gen 3 auto's. I was looking at one for my son and want to know if it's possible to get taller or shorter front sights in the even the pistol is hitting high or low. What about replacing the rear sight with an...

Does anyone here know where I can find the factory specs on this pistol. Also, if anyone here is familiar with them or better yet has one, I would sure appreciate any info you can provide on your experience with it. I'm considering the purchase of one but really don't know anything about them.

Finally got my M&P340 yesterday (got it from a member and it's truely a nice, clean gun). Been looking at grips online and I really like the looks of the Pachmayer Presentation grips. The grips that came with it are fine for concealed carry. I also will be carrying it as a belt gun though when...

When Smith changed their J frames to the magnum frame they changed the OA length of the cylinders. Can anyone here give me the measurements for both the standard and magnum length cylinders. Or just one or the other if you don't own both. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Not sure if this is exactly the right place to post. I'm just guessing. I need to know if, when you order a new cylinder, it is bare or if it includes the extractor etc. I didn't see a seperate listing for an extractor/ejector in the parts list and the list online doesn't have pictures. Thanks

I had been looking at an Olympic Arms AR but started talking today with someone regarding the S&W M&P-15. I'm not familiar with this rifle at all. Can it fire the 5.56 or is it strictly .223?

I bought a m638 about a month ago and paid $360 to my FFL. At that time I had considered the m649 but just couldn't part with the well over $200 more in price. Well now I have a chance to do a straight across trade for a m640-3 (my gun also has the lock). The guy got it from his brother who kept...

Between the silver and black finish offered on the J frame's, does one or the other seem to holding up better?

I recently bought a model 638 with the standard 1 7/8" barrel. My son and I were talking about it and I mentioned that it was also offered with a 2 1/2" barrel. That got us to wondering just how much of an advantage the longer barrel actually offered. Understandably it doesn't make it any easier...
