Both are fine for most users. The M&P has adjustable back straps, which I like. If you don't like the M&P trigger Apex makes a good kit that you can install yourself. Those two things push the M&P ahead of the XD for me.

Congrats on the new gun! I love when my dad buys a new one, because I can always take it to the range. Why 9x21? is 9x19 illegal in Italy? Is tritium illegal in Italy?

Back to the OP's topic: +1 to the early suggestion for SIG 1911s The SIG 1911 series is made with, reportedly, no MIM parts. I've handled a few and shot 1, from my limited experience they seem excellent. If you're going to buy used try to avoid the early productions, I think they...

FNX 9 or .40 if your interested in changing to a more common caliber. SIG 229 if you're looking to stay with .357SIG. Sounds like ergs are important to you, so the adjustable backstraps of the FNX might be a big benefit, it also comes with 3 magazines. You can also carry the FNX "cocked...

Gotta' love the g19. Reliable, accurate, durable, and a breeze to maintain. Looks to be in really good shape.

It does not accept the FNP mags.

They cost almost twice as much as an R1; I sure hope they put it to shame!

I'm a big fan of the concept. I like the serial numbered fire control group, coupled with the ability to change size and caliber. With the caliber x-change kits being $375.00 I'm not sure where all this business about not saving money is coming from... I also like the idea of training...

I have no clue about Stag uppers, I'm not sure I've ever handled one. I know Stag makes a quality lower, a guy at my local range, who always seems to shoot on the same days as me, has a BCM upper on a Stag lower, I was pretty impressed with the lower. I think they made the Smith & Wesson...

I feel bad for Hi-Jacking the thread bickering about twist rates. Mags was right I should have stuck to the "High Road" and let it go. For my part: I recommend Spikes Tactical for those on a budget, and Daniel Defense for those with a little more spare change. Bravo Company and LMT are also...

Jerkface, that might be your experience, but it isn't mine. The truth is we're both technically "wrong." Weight isn't the key factor in stabilization: length is, but heavier bullets are often longer. Maybe we're shooting different lengths of bullets, so you're seeing better performance out of...

1:12 is also great for .223, specifically if you stay 55gr and under. 55gr and over you have more versatility with 1:7 than probably any other twist. Again, you're taking what I said out of context, to bring up 1:12 you're making it seem like I said "55gr bullets work best out of 1:9" which...

gudel - one fine looking gun! Enough pics, now shooting time!

jerkface: At what point did I say "only good for 55gr bullets"? I said "works best." Those are different statements.

Krinko: To the snide part about English QC, good thing nobody paid for my post, huh? They do, however, pay for rifles, and the poor QC of a DPMS is inexcusable. So you can attack the typo, fine you caught me, but you still have to admit doing batch only MPI testing on bolts & barrels is...

I have a GSG (old style) and my friend has the Sig. My experience is that both are accurate enough for plinking, but I've heard the new GSG uses a thinner barrel, and isn't as accurate. Both will eat all ammo thrown at them. The GSG has great stock sights, the front post is a pain to...

DPMS is not a good buy: They do not High Pressure test every barrel and bolt, which is a QC issue. The bolts are not shot peened. The gas key is not properly staked. The barrel is not made of quality metal. They only do Magnetic Particle Inspection of the barrel by Batch (which means the...

Yes

Another thing to keep in mind is that everyone says "slapping" or "jerking" the trigger. I shot slightly low and slightly left for about a year when I was younger and everyone said "You're slapping the trigger" turns out the were entirely wrong. I was tightening my right middle finger while...

I'm with the above. You don't need all that, and you're spending more to upgrade your M500 than a new Tactical Shotgun. Buy a Tactical Shotgun already configured that way from the factory, there are tons of good ones on the market. All you really need for the ultimate tactical superiority in...
