    Just can't find the perfect holster for my 1911SC E Series

    Have you taken a look at Wright Leather Works? I have several from them, including one for my 1911SC. The predator is OWB and carries the pistol with a forward cant.

    Glocks

    If I could have one and only one it would be a Glock 19, Gen 3. Conceals nearly as well as the baby Glocks and shoots nearly as well and as accurately as my Glock 34.

    Waited 30 years for a 686

    Congratulation on your purchase! My first revolver was a 686-3 6" barrel purchased 30 years ago. Smith & Wesson got it right on the L frame. It is in my opinion the perfect revolver and the apex of revolver development. Fits my hand perfectly and boy is it a tack driver. This is one...

    Shield PD ammo

    I use Federal 124 grain +P HST's. I have found these to be very accurate in both my shield and my FS M&P. Recoil is snappy but manageable.

    .357 SIG/.40 S&W Accuracy

    I have shot my M&P 40 in IDPA and have found it to be quite accurate. When I swap out the barrel for the OEM 357 SIG barrel it shoots even more accurately and the 357 SIG is with factory ammo. I load my own 40 S&W and I have found mine to be very accurate from the light plinking loads to the...

    .40 Shield Kaboom

    I have heard that Winchester White Box has had some QC issues lately. I suspect what happened to your Shield 40 was an ammunition issue. I wonder if the unprecedented high demand for ammo has resulted in quality control issues. I have attached a link that shows another gun (AR15) that was...

    truglo tfo's?

    The TFO's are great sights but my TFO's on my M&P9 threw the front fiber optic less than a year after I installed them. Replacing the fiber optic on the TFO's is much more difficult than on a traditional fiber optic sight. The rear sights seem to be much more robust in terms of retaining the...

    Federal Champion 9mm 100 count $19.97 Walmart

    My favorite target round. MY M&P9 FS loves this round. I think the secret is out though - my Wal-Mart now limits purchases to 2 boxes and inventory goes quickly.

    shield failure to fire update.

    I ran Federal Champion through my Shield with no problems. My Shield also fed other brands with no FTF's - Black Hills, Blazer, Gold Dot and Federal Hydra-Shok. Very pleased that my Shield likes a wide variety of ammo and is not 'picky'.

    New M&P 9 owner and already have a problem.

    I had the same issue with my M&P 40 Pro-Series. Initially the only way I could get the slide to release was by manually racking/releasing it from slide lock. After running 400-500 rounds through it the problem has started to clear up and now it just requires firm pressure to release the slide.

    Where are all the Shields???

    I got lucky after being persistent the since it came out in mid-April. Called a LGS last week and they had one and held it for me. All of the other LGS's sell them as soon as they come in or have a list. I was told by a couple of stores to be reayd to wait 6-12 months.

    How much did you pay for your M&P Shield?

    Got mine for $420 plus tax = $448. Sounds like a lot of folks are getting some really good prices. In the Charlotte NC area, nearly every store is selling them at MSRP with one store in the area selling them for $499 plus tax. Refused to pay (gouged) more than retail. All of the stores...
