JDR, I might add that the practice must be performed with purpose, concentration, dedication and no distractions. Simply sending down rounds without honing skills though attention to the basics of good gun handling is merely a waste of ammunition.

Dollar for dollar, I consider both the M&P 2.0 9mm and .40 to be the best of today's polymer pistols. I will go a further step and state that IMO they are equal or better than many 1911's that cost so much more. S&W really scored a winner with this design.

bluzman, congratulations. Good shooting with a fine carbine. I have had similar results with a bit different setup. I added a Vortex Crossfire Red Dot Scope, SuperComp Muzzle Brake and bipod to my 9mm Ruger PC. Weight increased to 8.4 lbs. Because of the 109+F temp, I too went to an...

I looked long and hard at the PC market before I decided on the 9mm Ruger PC Carbine. The results of my two range sessions with it has validated my choice being that this fine carbine is all that I hoped it would be. 187 rounds each of S&B 114gr and 124gr FMJ have been shot without a single...

My opinion is to simply choose the handgun one shoots the best at short distances. a .50 does no damage to an attacker if it misses the attacker. On the other hand, a smaller caliber hitting a vital organ is lethal. A revolver is the easiest to keep by the bedside. My first one used this way...

“the Shield 9 is worthy of all the positive reviews it gets” I heartily agree. Similar to your comments, my first Shield 9 was obtained by way of a trade. It too was a well maintained pistol. The former owner’s care was evident and that Shield has operated without failure each time it is...

No bad choices here Each of the makers you reference produce excellent pistols. I have owned multiple models from each maker. My experience has been that the most trouble free pistols were made by Ed Brown. The best service received was from Wilson. The Les Baer pistols proved to be the...

With a new sidearm, it takes me about 200 rounds of mixed types and weights of ammunition to “get the feel” of the gun. Once I do and determine which brand and weight of defensive ammunition the gun best handles and the one with which I am most accurate, I concentrate shooting an entire box of...

And, that is the way I do it - bypassing that extra annoyance.

When disassembling the pistol, one must lower the take down lever in order to remove the slide. This is what the manual states to do just before lowering that lever: "Use a small screwdriver (or a similar device) to lower the yellow sear deactivation lever down into the magazine...

Previously to my purchase of a .40 Shield (no thumb safety), I alternated between a Glock 27 or a Kahr CM4043 for concealed carry purposes. The Shield’s overall length, height and weight makes it more comfortable to carry than either the Glock or Kahr. The Shield fits my hands. Not every...

Glock 27 on my hip in a Fobus paddle holster. FNS-40 in center console along with two extra mags for each pistol.

460Kodiak, I too have been curious to learn what other people think about guns I might purchase. If they had owned the gun, then they have specific personal experience with that gun. My criteria choosing is quite simple. A handgun has to fit my hand comfortably and have sights and a sight...

460Kodiak, I do not know if you have made your decision and purchased a pistol. If not, I would recommend that you buy the FNS. It is a superb semiautomatic pistol. It is well made, full of good features, comprised of components that work together in excellent precision and mine fits my hand...

Yes, the FNS-40 is also a fine pistol. Here is mine with a laser attached:

Check out the FNX40.

I concur with those who have said that you cannot go wrong with either revolver. Both are superb! It really is really a matter of personal preference. That said, I would suggest you buy the one that feels best in your hands. These are my 4” revolvers:

Often someone posts concern about a visual sign of a rub or wear on a new gun such as that previously posted. It is not my intention to criticize the poster's concern or to demean him in any way. However, I consider a gun as a tool that can do a job and not an object of financial investment...

miamivicedade, at present I own a FNS-40, FNX-40 and Glock 27. All are .40 S&W semi-automatic pistols. I carry the FNS concealed under a jacket in winter, the Glock 27 is my concealed pocket carry gun in summer and the FNX-40 is my bedside gun year round. The FNS-40 is an excellent...

I have owned 1911, CZ97B, Glock 27 and FNX-40 all in .40. I chose the FNX-40 model over the FNP-40 because IMO, the visual and mechanical design of the FNX-40 is superior. In fact, I believe the FNX-40 to be superior to any other polymer or steel frame pistol of any caliber sold today...
