    Eastern Arms 16 Gauge

    I`ve heard some of the Eastern Arms shotguns also made by LeFever? Any truth to that? Marcus

    H&K USP 40 Compact or S&W M&P 40 compact?

    The biggest distinction here is if you want a traditional SA/DA trigger or a consistant Glock-ish trigger. I have guns of both types and I`m growing to like the latter more and more for "social applications". A good friend of mine has carried a USPc40 for years. I`ve put a good many rounds...

    10mm 1911 clones: do they hold up?

    If you want a REALLY BEEFY 10mm 1911 to shoot the HOTTEST loads out of there`s only one way to go LAR Grizzly. Engineered to shoot .45 Win. Magnum but also available in other calibers including 10mm. Like shooting .38 wadcutters in an N frame S&W. :) Marcus

    My newest family member! M&P .40

    Congratulations! That`s a LOT of gun for the money. I just posted a report on my .40 full sized. The more I handle it and dry fire it (with snap cap) the more I like it. I can`t wait to shoot it again and probably will again this weekend even thought we just had a huge winter storm and it`s...

    Another M&P 40 range report

    Some of you may have read this review on another forum but I figured some folks here might like to see it too. I was on the fence for awhile between an XD and M&P. Handling them back to back I liked the ergos of the M&P better (even though the XDs are excellent). It feels great in my hand and...

    uggh polymer

    If you like the grip angle and trigger of the Glocks they`re great guns,really can`t go wrong. If you like a DA/SA trigger the SigPro and Beretta PX4 are obvious choices. If you like striker fired guns but don`t like the grip angle of the Glock,the plastic sights etc. an XD of M&P is a great...

    would +P ammo work with Smith & Wesson's M&P 9mm?

    Well let`s see,the 9mm M&P is built with the same frame and slide as the .40 and new .357 Sig versions but the 9mm has thicker chamber/barrel walls and is less powerful even in +P+ form. Add to that the fact that the M&P was designed for Military & Police and that NATO 9mm is all loaded to +P...

    S&W M&P 9mm or FNp-9

    I haven`t shot an M&P but I live the feel and I`m pretty sure one is in my future. A buddy of mine recently got an FNp40 that I put some rounds through. It felt pretty good in the hand but to my hand the M&P feels a little better. Shooting it I didn`t exactly cover myself with glory. SA was...

    Smith and Wesson Model 4043

    They`re great guns. Very solid and reliable. I had a 4053 (compact single stack cousin of the 4043). The DAO trigger is a lot like a Kahr (except hammer fired). Racking the slide cocks the hammer half way so you only have to cock the last half with the trigger. That yields a nice short/smooth...
