    M&P 9 EZ problem

    Picked up a 9EZ at a local gun store running a sale I couldn't pass up. I ran a box of 115 gr. FMJ's through it today. Every thing was great until the last three mags and the slide locked back with the last round still in the mag. Anybody got any ideas or should I run some more ammo in it before...

    Gun safe advice?

    Looks like I will be needing a new safe. Bought a Canon 4 years ago and now it does not lock anymore. Contacted Canon last month and they said there was a known problem with the electric lock on my safe and they would send me a new lock. I called them when the parts did not arrive when they...

    Acceptable accuracy for M&P Compact 22

    I just got my Compact 22 back from the factory for the 2nd time. This time I found out what acceptable accuracy is. They sent me a picture of a test target that appears to be a group that was 2-1/4 inch at 15 yds. That may be acceptable to them but not for me. This gun will either become a safe...

    AA#7 loads in Shield 40

    I have been loading AA#7 loads for my one and only 40S&W pistol for as long as I first discovered that the 4lb. jug of AA#9 powder I bought was really AA#7. I have had zero issues with using it in my full size Sig pistol. I don't shoot it much since I don't carry the gun and it is very accurate...

    K&L frame no gunsmith scope mount

    Title says it all. Like to get $40 plus postage. Only had it on an L frame for short period of time. It worked well while it was on the gun.

    New Shield 40

    Went to a LGS to pick up a deal on a M&P Sport II. I was a little reluctant to buy one since I already have a Sport I that I really like even at the price they were going for. They also had a big S&W sale on the whole M&P line with two S&W reps to talk to and get trigger jobs done on site. I...

    M&P Sport II quandry

    LGS has a fathers day sale on S&W. They got the Sport II on sale for $489. I need it like another hole in my head but at this price. I already have an original Sport with the 5R barrel that I have added some farkels to. I might set this one up for longer ranges because I have never shot a more...

    Wrong size decapper

    I just had a protracted e-mail conversation with the Lee customer support rep. I e-mailed them about the decapper pin in my brand new 22 Hornet dies being too small and it was hard to get the bullets started after resizing. I told him I was having to use the decapper out of my .223 dies to get...

    M&P 22 compact back from the factory

    Got it back yesterday after being at the factory for a month. Did not get a chance to shoot it because of the late arrival time. They put a new barrel in it and test fired it they said. I did check it over pretty good and the new barrel is bright and shinny as opposed the dull and dark bore of...

    M&P 22 Compact going back today

    I contacted customer support about the accuracy problems I was having with my 22 Compact 3 days ago. They e-mailed me back with an RMA and shipping label and said send it back. So it is in a shipping box and will be in Fed-ex's hands in a few minutes. I have never had this kind of a problem with...

    Shield sights ?

    I just noticed my Shield front sight no longer has a white front dot. Has this happened to any one else? I never use the dots to align the sights but I thought this was odd. I always thought they were painted on.

    Range report- Shield 9

    I have been trying to find a suitable load for my new Shield. I have shot it on 4 range sessions so far. Each time about 30 to 50 rounds down range. The trigger is smoothing up some or I am starting to get use to it a little more. I really like the way the gun feels in my hand. I have noticed...

    Picking up my new Shield this morning

    I am giving up on getting a G43 and going with a Shield. I have hesitated on the Shield because I didn't like the sights on the Shield. I don't like covering up the target with the sights. What sights can I put on the Shield to get a more "conventional to me" sight picture? I like to have the...

    Loading for a Marlin 1895 in 45-70

    I am going to start loading for a new Marlin 1895. I have just orderd my dies, brass and bullets. All I could get was 350 grain Hornady JSP. I would like to use IMR3031 or H4198 because that is what I have the most of on hand right now. I am open to other recomendations though. Has anyone else...

    Concealed carry problem- Does anybody else run into this.

    Over the years I have had numerous people out to my range wanting to shoot their new concealed carry gun. Most of the time the really newbes can't hit the side of a barn from the inside. I tell them that they need to "practice from time to time and always have the gun with you where you can"...

    Safe dehumidifier

    I just bought a new safe and was wondering what everyone else is using as a dehumidifier in theirs. I live in Florida and the humidity is always high especialy in the shaded end of my house that never sees the sun.

    New gun safe

    Up until recently I have not felt the need for a gun safe. I have wanted one for a long time but did not think it was worth the financial out lay for one. I live way out in the woods and only have a few neighbors. I have a a couple that are close and we watch out for each others places and we...

    Academy Sports snubs LEO's

    Went down with my son-in-law who is a local LEO. He wanted to buy a new M&P 40 cal. He did but because he does not have a CWP they made him wait the 3 days before he could pick up the weapon. The state says he doesn't need one to carry so he don't have one. And to top it all off they said he had...

    Now who has the last laugh?

    For years I have been catching some mild heat from fellow shooter and reloading friends for reloading the 7.62X39. They all said "why reload when the stuff is so cheap" and for a while it was but now look at it. I have a pretty good stock of brass and bullets left and now I can still shoot my AK...

    How do you feel about the NRA?

    As for me. I have been a member of the NRA for longer than I can remember. I feel that if you own a gun and support the 2nd. amendment you should be a member. I also feel that if you don't(join the NRA) you are letting other people carry your water for you. JMHO
