    Hi from West MI

    Welcome from Alabama! But I'm actually from the wonderful city of Kalamazoo.

    Bad Ammo

    Keep us posted, Gargoyle999. If your Shield struggles with this ammo as well then I'll avoid it.

    Why is Fiocchi so bad?

    I also have been shooting 124gr JHP Fiocchi out of my Shield with no issues. Have heard complaints about the cheaper Fiocchi FMJ target ammo but never used it myself.

    Ford. Ford. And Ford. :p

    Smith & Wesson to Pursue U.S. Army Modular Handgun System Contract

    Yep, agree. Although it would be nice to put the M back in M&P.

    2015 Mustang - China?

    Getrag builds this transmission for Ford who started using this transmission in 2011 when they introduced the new 5.0 V8 engine. I have a 2012 Mustang GT. It has one of these Getrag 6 speed manual transmission built in China. Have had no issues with the transmission in the 2.5 years I've owned...

    M&P piston rifle?

    Maybe slow sales? (Pure speculation.) I think the piston parts were Adams Arms so that probably added to the cost. Certainly don't see many in the wild.

    First time at the range M&P 9mm shield

    S&W does not sell a pro version of the Shield. However, I have no doubt they have made revisions since the introduction of the Shield. To identify the most recent version, look for a black box. The older versions have a blue box. Edit: They did revise the trigger in the full size M&P line. So...

    Which cake?

    Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting? If so, 100% going with carrot cake. If not, I'll go with the crowd and also vote German chocolate.

    M&P tactical rifle case

    They sell a soft single rifle case with M&P logo embroidered on it for $40. Use it to transport my M&P Sport. Amazing case for $40. Just thought I would mention that.

    Rick's gun Walking Dead no spoiler

    All the stuff I have seen (AMC forum, Walking Dead wiki, etc) say it is a Colt Python. So either it was a mistake by the writers or he also had a .44 magnum.

    Wicked cars?

    Big fan of old muscle cars, but appreciate all cars. I'm really fond of Ford in particular. My very first car (when I was 17) was 95hp. My current car is 412hp. She ain't exotic, or rare, by any means. But she is a lot of car for a daily driver. 2012 Mustang GT

    Ammo surpise.

    Distributed by TulaAmmo. But it is actually produced by Fiocchi to my knowledge. And Fiocchi is GTG.

    SD ammo for the shield

    Just get good quality SD ammo and shoot a ton of it to make sure it feeds well. I was using Remington Ultimate Defense, but at nearly $1 a round I found it too expensive to practice with. Recently switched to Fiocchi XTP that uses Hornady bullets at 50 cents a round. Hotter than my typical...

    Reassembly problem with Shield - HELP!

    This thread was damn helpful. I actually took my Shield apart and cleaned it before I went to the range. No issue with reassembly. Then I took it apart again (after two range trips) today and could not reassemble it. Sure enough it was the recoil spring. Big thanks to all the helpful members on...

    All firearm manufacturers could learn from Remington. Heck.... EVERYONE....

    I am still waiting for my refund from Remington. I didn't want my R51 back. They promised to refund the full purchase price but have yet to receive a check. I give major props to Remington for doing this, but I have already bought a Shield. And I am quite happy with the Shield.

    Your "Handle"

    You guys have way cooler reasons for your forum handle than me. Mine is Rivers. Named after Rivers Cuomo, the best damn musician in the world. But my buddies and I used to play Counter Strike a lot on the PC. And we changed our names to letter, number, letter, number to troll the kids in...

    Perfecta ammo at Walmart

    Fiocchi makes good ammo. Will have to look for this next time I'm at Walmart.
