    Browning Auto 5 humpback

    I’ve got a 1973 A5 light twelve in the safe. Purchased by my father and given to me a few years back. It’s mint and I’d never part with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best ankle holster for our M&P Shield?

    I have the Desantis Apache ankle holster for my Shield. I don't use it too often but when I do it's very comfortable.

    Underwood .380 Ammo

    No because I’ve read too much about failures to feed reliably. I do use their xtreme defenders because they feed great in everything. I have them in a P3AT that my dad pocket carries daily. I’m a fan of underwood in general. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Standard pressure or Plus P in Shield

    1. It doesn’t matter if it hits clothing, glass, metal or anything else. It still performs as designed and penetrates 15-18 inches. 2. My area has had some issues with protesters blocking roads and attacking people in their cars. If I ever had to fire through auto glass to protect my family I...

    Standard pressure or Plus P in Shield

    No it does not. It’s a fluted solid copper bullet that is barrier blind and doesn’t rely on expansion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Standard pressure or Plus P in Shield

    Yes I have. All ammo shoots low in my shield except 147 grain bullets. They hit point of aim but lighter bullets shoot low. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Standard pressure or Plus P in Shield

    Not based on price. The ammo I’m asking about is $28 a box of 20. The penetration is far superior to 124 or 147 grain hollow points. If you are unfamiliar with the round go to you tube and search Underwood 9mm Xtreme Defender. The military arms channel did extensive testing on this round and it...

    Standard pressure or Plus P in Shield

    They are. I called Smith and Wesson CS And they said it’s rated for +P. I asked if it was limited use only or if they had any recommendations on use of it, he told me it’s rated for it and use it all I want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Standard pressure or Plus P in Shield

    This bullet design is a sold copper projectile and the weight it comes in is 90 grains. That is the only option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Standard pressure or Plus P in Shield

    I'm ordering more Underwood Xtreme defenders because of their sale going on. My question is for my Shield 9mm, plus p or standard pressure. The standard is a 90 gr bullet moving at 1,400 pfs. I don't know if the extra 75 fps in plus p is worth the recoil and wear and tear on the gun for this...

    What holsters are you using for Shield 45?

    How are you carrying that? I also use a foxx holster but your looks set up for a negative cant. My front clip is higher than the back by one hole to make the grip tilt forward. What position on the body do you put it? Mines at 3:30-4:30 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    .40S&W Shield Kaboom

    Impossible, that's just a Glock thing. I didn't catch what factory reloads they were using. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First shot stoppage

    Great. Looks like I'll have a spare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First shot stoppage

    See where the flat spring should sit flat side down against the guid rod assembly. This one rests on the tip of the spring instead. Not saying it's a defect, I've just never seen that before. They seem to think it's a problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First shot stoppage

    Don't know if it's related or not but while cleaning I noticed the take down lever really rubs the recoil spring assembly. I found that the recoil spring doesn't sit flat against the keeper like other guns but instead rests on its pointed end. Not sure if this is a problem or not but emailed...

    I hadn't thought of that but I would explain it, thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First shot stoppage

    It all depends for me. I've bought guns and fired a box of ammo straight out of the box and trusted them 100%. Other times I've have a failure or two in the first 50 and never trusted that firearm. I know it's not logical but that's how my mind works. I have owned shields before and trust the...

    First shot stoppage

    Picked up a new shield 9mm for carry because of the rebate. Cleaned, lubed and loaded it up to break in and function test. I took 50 rounds of rem ball and 3 different brands of hollow points to test. Fully loaded plus one my first shot fired and ejected but the slide stopped short of picking up...

    SD9VE conceal dilemma

    Could you post a picture of the setup on you? I'm carrying mine OWB in a leather pancake holster that is very comfortable or IWB appendix with a remora that's not so comfortable. I'd love to find an option that's comfortable and concealed.

    First time SD9VE owner

    Hello, I picked up a sd9ve the other day just because. I have other guns and have carried concealed for almost 15 years. I cleaned it and took out to my range. I really like this gun. I bought a shield when they came out and the grip was too thin for me to shoot comfortably. This gun fits my...
