One for 5" M&P9 Pro Series. One or two for M&P357Sig, first model of M&P pistol. One for Beretta 92. 9mm. One for 1911-pattern pistols, .45ACP. Thread pitch not an issue, I'll get adapters. Will accept " used" if it is in very good...

I got an email from CDNN selling an M&P40 M2.0 FDE slide. I'd like to put that on my 357Sig M&P that has a 357Sig barrel. I read (or I made it up) that the barrels are same diameter and area therefor exchangeable. Anybody know fer shure? -SDH

I have an S&W M&P/357Sig, full-size, first series. I wish to put a Holosun HE507C-GR-V2 on it. First question: Has anyone experience with milling the 357Sig slide? The machinist who does this work on a lot of guns asked whether the S&W slide might be extra-hardened and therefore more...

M&P357, FDE, 2.0, and general puzzlement. I’ve been a Sig “Death Before Dishonor” fan since the early ‘80s. One of our sons is a LEO and his department switched from the “well-know” plastic gun for, uhm, a well-known plastic gun. To wit, the M&P9. I had trained him from birth to be a Sig...

I did try a forum search for this as a subject, but found nothing. At the range yesterday I found a handful of shiny silver shells that were obviously 9mm. But - First, there is a groove around it just forward of the extractor groove. It is machined into the shell and is not nearly as deep...

Saw one online for $1,850. Really?

I know I could probably get a lot of info by joining a Glock group, but I already belong to many groups and don't really need another to monitor. Besides, I own only one Glock, a 20 (Generation pre-zero) modified for 50GI. I want to build a special Glock for a LEO relative who has a birthday...

Just read a second reference to a "W" mainspring in a S&W revolver. This one said it was a factory option. I can't find a single word about them. Can anyone inform me? Also, if it's such a good thing, can it be retrofitted? If so, is it too difficult for a person of modest mechanical...

I have fired my S&W 27-4 often enough, and my Performance Center 27-8. ATTACH]372948[/ATTACH]ATTACH]372949[/ATTACH] The person I bought the 27-4 from, eighteen years ago or so, said it was unfired. All I can say is that it was/is in beautiful condition. Other than substituting modern, thinner...

At the range today I saw some 45ACP shells and picked them up, even though they were black, which I usually expect means they are too corrupted to reload. They appear not to be corroded, and are not steel. A magnet does not attract them. The head stamp has the expected "45 AUTO", but then has...

Yes, you read that right. Friend of mine has a Shield with TWO barrels, one 9mm, one 40S&W. Same slide, same springs, no other changes. Outside dimensions of the barrels appear the same. Just pull out one barrel and drop in the other. Both seem (to me) to fit perfectly. It's all in a S&W...

We are lucky to have adult children who are avid shooters, and two of three daughters-in-law as well. We're working on the third one. So we were not in the least surprised when one of the DILs bought a 50AE Desert Eagle. We, of course, insisted - - well, OK, BEGGED - she bring it by for the...

So, this Cheesehead friend of mine emails me some pics to bring a laugh. He got a Hi-Standard Sentinel R-101. 9-shot .22LR. OK so far, eh? 'Cept, this'n has a barrel of just under 2.5", if I can trust his ruler. The aluminum frame is aqua-marine green, or possibly "teal" or turquoise. It has a...

In November I ordered some miscellaneous parts for a Colt Python from the website Antique Firearms & Colt Parts for Old Guns The associated email is [email protected] I sent a USPS money order. To date I have not received the parts. There is no response to email enquiries, and the...

Top one is a 66-1 I got from the estate of a deceased LEO friend. Second one is a 66-1 Purchased from a local gun shop. Third one is a 66-1 issued to a detective of a WI PD. Fourth one is a "Pre-Model 19" four-screw, dates to 1955. Fifth one is a 19-5, dates to 1988. Inside grips is printed...

A month back or so I described a problem I had with TulAmmo .357 Magnum ammo in my S&W 386NG. To recap: I was in a place with limited ammo selection and had cleverly left my own at home. Hence, the TulAmmo purchase. I would never use steel-cased ammo in my semi-autos but couldn't think of a...

I never use steel-case ammo in my semi-autos. When I saw the price on this Tulammo revolver ammo, I figured there could be very little risk. My revolver is a S&W 386NG, .357 Magnum, aluminum/scandium frame, titanium cylinder, steel barrel in a shroud, key lock. I don’t keep track of how many...

Sooo, in my post-physical therapy program after knee replacement, I joined a local fitness center to continue the exercises to rehab them. I asked for some time with a KNOWLEDGEABLE trainer who could help me work out a program of exercises and using their equipment. Sooo, I am presented with...

I know, of course, that TV and Hollywood often use non-guns, and make up some for effect. This one looks almost real. It's supposed to be an illegal gun, of course, and my guess is it is supposed to be a "zip gun." This is the clearest screen-shot pic I got. I got a couple other angles on it...
