    Optics Ready M&P 2.0 Compact Striker Block Sticking

    I've only had this pistol a few weeks & put 350 rounds through it without a single malfunction. Cleaned it last night & after I was done, I pushed down on the striker block & it stuck down in the slide. I'm thinking either a piece of nylon bristle broke off the brush or I brushed a tiny piece of...

    FSB taper pins

    Im thinking about retiring my Samson Evolution rail in favor of an M Lok handguard system. I installed the Samson myself after cutting my factory fsb down into just a low profile gas block. The Samson Evo uses a bushing around the factory barrel nut so I was able to install the handguard...

    Question about the Safety on the new 2.0 5 inch

    I purchased an m&p 2.0 9mm with the 5 inch barrel on Friday & put 300 rounds through it today without a problem. Im really liking it. I also have a gen 1 FS m&p 45 & a 9mm Shield, both without safeties. I think S&W shouldve made/released the 5 inch 2.0 without the safety at the same time as the...

    Anyone use a National Match or upgraded pivot pin?

    Looking for some feedback from those using a national match size or other upgraded front pivot pin. My m&p15x is getting up there in age, I want to say it's 6 or 7 years old now, has fired thousands of rounds & the upper & lower receivers have been seperated for cleaning & miscellaneous reasons...

    Just a bad round? Any other possible causes?

    While I was shooting at the range today I had already cycled through 50 rounds of 62 grain American Eagle ammo without a problem. Then I started shooting Fiocchi 55 grain FMJ & on my 18th round the rifle went CLICK instead of Bang. I dropped the magazine & pulled the CH to extract the round...

    I've been looking online for a blade tech total eclipse holster for my FS 4.5 inch barrel m&p 45. I'm trying to order from a vendor that has it in stock to cut any wait time. All I can find in the Total Eclipse model says it's for 22, 9, 40, &45. Is this correct? This 1 holster will...

    Will The 9c 3.5inch barrel work in a SHIELD 9MM?

    I ve done a few Google searches changing the wording of my question a few times & keep getting the same results. Out of all the searches I only went 4-5 pages in before I gave up. Most of the results came up with converting a shield 40 to 9mm. I'm looking to see if it's possible to use the...

    M&P 15X, nearly flawless history, was a single shot rifle today?

    I bought the rifle new over 5 years ago, take very good care of it, clean throughly & keep it well lubed. My last range trip I shot 200 rounds of 62 grain green tip & didn't have a hint of a problem. The round count of the gun is about 6000 rounds,+ or - a few. Where should I look 1st? The gun...

    I M INTERESTED IN HAND LOADING 45ACP & 223/556, IS IT WORTH IT FOR ME, WHERE TO START

    I M INTERESTED IN HAND LOADING 45ACP & 223/556, IS IT WORTH IT FOR ME, WHERE TO START I just watched a youtube video of a guy using a Lee reloading kit for 45acp that involved nothing complex, just doing things in the correct order with the correct supplied tool(s). Seemed simple enough for a...

    SHIELD SIGHTS ON A FULL SIZE M&P??

    Yes that's what I am asking, NOT full size sights on a shield. I know that the full size rear is wider but what about the rear notch size on ameriglo operators, same notch for FS & shield? How much narrower are shield rear sights compared to a FS? The reason I'm asking is my local gun shop has...

    ANYONE RUN TRIJICON HDs ON THEIR FULL SIZE M&P?

    The main thing I'm interested in is what is your POI compared to POA? I have found out that the trijicon HDs are taller than the standard m&p sights, I already get low impacts from my fullsize m&p45, that is well used so breaking in & trigger control are not the issue. I'm worried the taller...

    SIGHT RADIUS & ACCURACY?

    I'm trying to narrow down my decision on a set of night sights for my full size m&p 45. 1 set on my list are the truglo tfo's. After looking at them at my local gun shop I could actually see how long the front sight is. This obviously makes the sight radius shorter, which most say is a bad...

    WILL THE FACTORY SIGMA RECOIL SPRING FIT OVER A WOLF STEEL GUIDE ROD?

    Does the factory flat recoil spring fit over an aftermarket steel guide rod? I haven't had any problems with my wolf recoil spring & rod, but when I was cleaning my sigma 40 last night it appeared that the recoil spring is slightly bent. After thinking about it a while, I am thinking this ever...

    TRITIUM OR FIBER OPTIC SIGHTS?

    Which do you prefer? I have a full size 45 that came with painted dots, which I repaint every so often using my own special mix of glow paint & super white automotive paint. My mix works pretty well but only last about 2 cleaning cycles before I have to touch them up. I stopped in the gun shop...

    PIGGYBACK TRIGGER SPRING?

    Ever since I bought my m&p fs 45 I havent touched my sigma 40. I let my little brother use it everytime he goes to the range with me & he put the last 200 or so rounds thru it with maybe 3 failures. To get a tight group under rapid fire is a chore so when I brought it out for cleaning I decided...

    LES BAER GAS TUBE, ANYBODY TRY 1?

    I know that my rifle is a overgassed a good bit & have been looking at reliable solutions to this. I came across the les baer carbine length gas tube, the description states the vent hole size is OPTIMIZED for carbine length gas systems. I cant find any reviews on it to see if it reduces the gas...

We actually shot in lanes next to each other yesterday at the outdoor range, he had pulled a box of hornady critical duty 220grain 45 auto +p & set it on the counter. Well i looked at...
