    Sorry for the loss of your friend. Hold on to that 10-22 and remember him fondly whenever you shoot it.

    I love a nice set of wood grips, especially on a revolver.

    What Are Your Plans for a Wild New Year's Eve?

    We went out for bibibop at a really good Korean restaurant. Came home and changed into my PJs and I am currently watching Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve on the boob tube with the family. Will probably hit the sack around 10:00 because I have to leave for work at 5:00am tomorrow.

    Anyone want to share some love for the M&P 1.0?

    Thanks for the heads up on the spacer. I will be calling S&W's CS dept. right after the first of the year. The one in my gun appears to still be in good shape, but not having a new unused one to compare it to I can't be sure.

    New Year's Resolutions for 2024. I'll start.

    Many years ago I made a New Year's resolution that I would never make New Year's resolutions... so far I've been able to keep that resolution.

    Lumpy Christmas stocking

    Sorry to hear about all your troubles. But just remember this, no matter how bad you think you've got it there is some poor soul who's got it worse than you. Like one of the guys in my church that just found out last week that he's got stage 4 cancer, Another couple lost their daughter and...

    WHY??

    You need to call India and speak to 'Kevin' in CS.

    S&W 22a Pawn shop find

    Last Saturday my wife and daughter went boutique and junk shop hopping a couple of towns over. So, with nothing better to do, and some Christmas bonus cash burning a hole in my pocket, I decided to check out the local gun and pawn shops to see if there was anything interesting in the used gun...

    Anyone want to share some love for the M&P 1.0?

    Update #3: I really need to retire so that I have more time to enjoy my hobbies. Finally got a chance to throw some lead down range after doing the trigger mods. and I have to say that I am in love with my M&P 1.0 all over again. Slapping the dueling tree paddles back and forth with the 9mm...

    Anyone want to share some love for the M&P 1.0?

    What's been your experience with the Apex trigger? Do you feel there was a big difference between it and the stock trigger? Did you de-burr and polish mating surfaces in the fire control group when you installed the Apex trigger? Is your reset point tactile or audible?

    Anyone want to share some love for the M&P 1.0?

    Update #2: New sear block assembly came in. I replaced the plunger spring with the lighter one from M*Carbo and polished the sear with Flitz before reassembling and installing it in the gun. The verdict: Mixed. I don't have a pull gauge so I can't give specific numbers but the trigger...

    Anyone want to share some love for the M&P 1.0?

    Update: I ran into a little snafu when doing the trigger job. Turns out my particular M&P1.0 is pre 2011. Prior to Sept.2010 M&P used a very small, 1/16" diameter sear spring and plunger, as apposed to the larger 1/8" spring and plunger used in later units. So, I could not install the...

    Anyone want to share some love for the M&P 1.0?

    How do you like the polymer trigger? Have you ever had any issues with it binding up if your finger is not square on the trigger face?

    Anyone want to share some love for the M&P 1.0?

    Several years ago during the first big ammo crunch I could not find any 9mm ammo, or any of the other popular calibers that I owned hand guns in, on the shelves in my area. However, .40S&W could be found on otherwise empty shelves every where I went. So I did the logical thing and went...

    He is waiting in the porta-potty, officer.

    Feel bad for the LEO that had to transport this dude. Most Port-a-Potties have a padlock hasp on them, one of the golfers could have stuck something in it to trap the guy in there. I attach a golf towel to my bag with a carabiner clip as many golfers do. If something like that was not...

    New to Virginia - Neighbor shoots towards my property

    You have no idea what went down between this neighbor and the guy that previously owned your property. Take the high road. Go over introduce yourself. Mention to him that you noticed his makeshift range. Let him know that you enjoy shooting as well. Then tell him your concerns about his range...

    M&P 40sw accuracy

    Sorry hardluk1, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. Just saying that I find it accurate enough for what I bought it for. If I'm 75' away from a threat I figure I have time to get out of dodge or take cover. Have to agree with you about the .22s. I have a slightly modded 10/22 that is...

    M&P 40sw accuracy

    I've never attempted bag/bench rested slow fire groups with my 1st gen. .40 so I couldn't really tell you what it's "target" accuracy was. I can tell you that I can keep all of my shots in the kill zone of a B-27 out to about 25' using two handed aimed fire and that's my only concern with my...
