    First time at the range report... M&P15 Sport

    Took my new M&P15 sport to the range today and can not be happier! I shot 100 rounds through it without one hiccup. Very impressed with the accuracy, can't wait to go again. I'll attach a picture of the target from my first 10 rounds fired from 15 yards out. The range I was at is maximum 25...

    M-Lok vs standard Magpul hand guard?

    Hi all, I'm new here... Just bought a M&P 15 Sport! I bought the standard Magpul carbine length hand guard from Cabelas but haven't installed it yet. After some research I've seen the M-Lok version and I was wondering if anyone has compared the two? Is the M-Lok a lot better... And does it...

    SD40VE for sale, only 250 rds through it.

    I am toying with the thought of selling my SD40VE. I bought it brand new in January and have only been to the range 5 times with it... shooting one 50rd box of ammo each time. It shoots great. I installed the Apex kit shortly after getting it and the trigger is awesome now (I have all the...

    Trigger pin coming out... AGAIN!!!

    Shot 50 more rounds through my SD40VE yesterday... and the pin started out after about 30 shots or so. What the hell man? It easily popped right back in and stayed in... but why does this keep happening. Does this only happen to some of us who have installed the Apex kit (myself included) or...

    Ultramax Ammo for the SD40VE

    To my surprise, my local Dick's Sporting Goods is overflowing with .40 S&W ammo! Ok, not overflowing... but there is a full shelf of American Eagle (165gr and 180gr) and a full shelf of Ultramax 200rd value packs. The Ultramax was very tempting at $65 for 200rds... so I told him to give me a...

    Another day at the range...

    Third time out with the SD40VE... Flawless as usual. I shot 50 with zero problems. I took my buddy, who had never shot a handgun before, and he didnt have any hang-ups either. 2 out of 3 trips to the range... And I've had 2 different guys come up to me asking about what kind of gun I have...

    Shooting Range in the Poconos

    We are going up to the Poconos for a bachelor party on the 3rd weekend in May. Does anyone know any shooting ranges in that area that would be perfect for our small group? Only a couple of us have our own guns so gun rental would be nice. thanks!

    Crack in trigger?

    I hope you guys can see what I'm talking about in this attached picture. I noticed 2 very thins lines in the plastic of the top of the trigger that the trigger pin slides through. They kinda look like cracks but they don't seperate or anything when I pull the trigger. Are they just a cosmetic...

    2nd outing with SD40VE... Apex spring kit lived up to hype!

    Just got back from the range... It was my second trip with the SD40VE, but the first since installing the Apex spring kit. Huge, noticeable difference in pull weight... that $20 was the best $20 I've ever spent! The attached picture is my first target... 24 shots: 12 at center, and then 3 each...

    If you've installed the Apex kit into your SD40VE...

    has the Apex recoil spring worked OK? Any light strikes on factory ammo? Have any of you gone back to the stock recoil spring? I've heard rumblings about this and Im curious to see how many folks have gone back to the stock recoil spring.

    Pachmayr vs Hogue

    I have seen mention of the Pachmayr tactical handgun grips and the Hogue Handall grips in numerous threads... But never really a true comparison. I was told that the Handall size large would fit my SD40VE and the Pachmayr Sigma size would fit as well. I like the looks of the Pachmayr one but I...

    SD40VE front sight paint came off

    I mentioned in another thread that the white dot came off my front sight while shooting my sd40ve for the first time. It was suggested to me to just use some fingernail polish or enamel paint to fill the hole back in. My question is about the color. Should I just do white again, or has anyone...

    First time range report with SD40VE!... couple small issues...

    Just came back from the local shooting range... and I am excited at how my new SD40VE did. The range was busy so they only allowed half hour slots... so I took my time (first time with handgun) and shot 50 rounds. The first pic I am posting is the first target I shot... 10 rounds at 12yds and...

    SD40VE question... Will action lock open with no mag?

    I Was watching a video on YouTube, and this guy was shooting a different brand of semi automatic handgun at the range. After he was done he dropped the magazine out and then locked the action back to visually show that the gun was empty. I just took out my sd40ve (unloaded) and dropped the...

    Storage questions for new owner

    I tried to do a search to make sure Im not rehashing an old thread... if so, please delete this thread and point me to the old one, thanks! Anyway, I just bought the SD40VE and I was wondering if I should always dryfire the gun before putting it back in the safe. As it is now, I have been...
