Looking for some input. I have been competing in IDPA for some time and like the performance of Freedom HP target loads. What I don't like is that at my state IDPA match I did not hit the 125 power-factor and was DQ'd. I purchased a re-loader and would like to load to load X-Treme 124 gr HP...

What factory loads to you guys use to ensure you can meet a 125 power factor in you 9mm? I have been using Freedom Munitions for years until I received a DQ at a state IDPA match. Was using their target hollow point 115 gr. Came up about 12 fps to slow.

OK Folks, After just a little more than 4000 rounds through my M&P FS 9mm do I need to change any parts as a preventative maintenance measure?

Who can help me with the correct Roll Pin Size for the extractor pivot on my M&P 380? After involuntarily taking a quick swim with it I wanted to pull it down ab buggered up the pin a little. I figured I could drive it out without the correct size (smaller) punch, I was wrong. My guess is...

And you are not going to believe what happened........ Every time I pulled the trigger the gun fired. Every time the gun fired it automatically loaded another round. Every time the last round was fired the slide locked back. Every time the gun fired I hit the target. I love this gun!!

May God Bless America!

I am new to handguns this year. Between my SD9VE and my M&P 9 FS I traded it in for I have about 1500 rounds of 115gr down range. I just picked up a box of 147. They are American Eagle brand from Federal. What if anything should I expect to notice with the heavier bullets? Will the accuracy...

I will be purchasing a tuck-able IWB holster for my FS MP9, there are so many options available. I am wondering if there are any bad choices from the list below. I welcome all comments and would especially like to hear from some of you who have owned these units for a while. Crossbreed Super...

Looking for input on the take down procedure listed in the manual of my new M&P 9 FS. The manual instructs to "lower the sear deactivation lever down into the magazine well". The same result happens when you pull the trigger, that is how I used to take down the SD9VE I trading in for the M&P...

I recently took possession of my new M&P 9. I have not yet sent in my Warranty Registration Card to Smith & Wesson. What thoughts do you folks have on doing this. Is it really necessary to claim warranty if the situation arises? Are there any real benefits to sending in the card? What...

Just traded in my first handgun, an SD9VE, on a new M&P 9. Now I do can join in on this forum!!

Thinking about trading up. Have a SD9VE and plan on shopping for a M&P 9mm. Does anyone know if I can change the base plates and use the SD mag in the M&P?

Has anyone tried a Houge grip on their SD? I see they have one designed for the M&P, wondering if this would fit. M&P .40, 9mm and .357SIG, this model is a hybrid and has finger notches built in.

I have heard that at one time Federal listed the Hydra-Shok JHP as a +P load. Currently they do not. I am looking a the 9mm - 124 gr Hydra-Shok JHP. Can anyone clarify this issue?

I am looking for a locking holster like the BlackHawk Serpa model 410525BK. Can anyone confirm the fit of this model? It is listed for the S&W MP 9/40. Not sure if it is the same size frame or not.

How do you folks sore your unloaded SD 9/40 VE when not in use? Do you dry fire so the striker spring is not in tension?

Just fishing, What ammo works best in your S&W SD9 VE?

Just getting into handguns. I am partial to S&W (used to live near the factory). I am looking at the SD 9 VE. One issue is a little confusing to me. Why would someone choose a low capacity mag over the standard? Is the some other difference besides the number of rounds? Is the grip shorter on...
