I just got a 40 to 9mm 5" barrel conversion for my M&P's. I have 3 5" barreled M&P 40 models so it made sense to get this. I ordered the black nitrided version to maintain a more stock look, and it arrived about 3 weeks after I ordered it directly from the kkm website. My M&P 40's are old...

Have a LaRue OBR on order and am researching the optics while I wait. Probably going to go with something like a Vortex Razor HD 6-24x if the budget allows, otherwise might default to a Mark 4, anyway a 50mm objective. Ay question is can I use two piece rings, like the badger ordnance...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a quality 1911 just to have one in the collection - don't really plan to shoot or carry it but I'd like to have a pistol in .45 in the safe just because and/or for if something weird happened and only .45 acp was available. I'd like it to be a "quintessential" 1911 but...

Hi, I recently signed my wife and I up for a 1200 round 2 day basic pistol class, mostly for her benefit, since she has to be alone for a few weeks at a time while I'm on work trips. Recently we had a random drifter walk through our gated backyard and this has prompted her to have an increased...

Hi, I ordered a Noveske upper 2 years ago from an internet dealer - this was right after sandy hook, the upper was a really nice one so it was $1500. I followed up every 6 months or so only to be told "still on the waiting list". Finally, after I emailed him last week, he tells me...

Hi, My father used to have a Browning .380 semi-automatic compact pistol of some sort, but he gave it away to his brother several years ago. Now he wants one just like it again...If I had to guess I'd say he bought it in the 80's at some point. He called me and asked me to locate another one...

Hi, Finally going to take the plunge into the AR world and have my eye on a completed Noveske LoPro 16" midlength upper with a 10" Centurion Rail, BCM BCG, Charging handle, and Magpul BUIS for $1100. I plan to buy an LRB Arms stripped lower and a stag arms lower parts kit to round out the...

Found answer through research, pls disregard.

Hi, I currently have an M&P 40 full size and am looking for a little smaller weapon that is easier to conceal in the summer. the M&P 40 full is great in winter when I can wear a jacket, but prints a little excessively IWB with just a shirt. I have never shot the M&P 40 compact, but...

I only have one rifle right now, a springfield M1A scout (unless of course you count my marlin 795 .22). For my next purchase I want either an AR-15 or a .308 bolt gun. I've narrowed down to these two models: OR I will probably buy both eventually, but can't decide which to buy first...

I have a S&W 327 R8 with the 5" barrel. I bought the gun new about 2 months ago and just got it back from S&W because I had to send it in due to light primer strikes. I took it to the range to test it out and fired 100 .38's and 50 .357's. I only had one light primer strike out of 150, but...

Anyone in Austin/Central Texas interested in intro to IDPA class next Sat. 1/30/10? I don't know if this is the right place, but I figured I'd throw this out there... I'm trying to take an intro to IDPA here in Austin next weekend at the austin rifle club in Manor. Unfortunately, the...

Today I participated in a Defensive long gun class put on by KR Training in central Texas. The class is oriented toward home-defense type scenarios and includes about 90 minutes of classroom discussion, 5 hours of range time, and about 30 minutes of close quarters-simulated home defense...

I have two revolvers, a S&W 327 5" .357 and a S&W 340 1.875" .357. The 327 is brand new. I took it to the range today for the first time, where I attempted to shoot 150 rounds through it.....100 remington UMC 130gr .38 Special and 50 Fiocchi 125gr SJSP .357 magnum. To my dismay, of the...

Has anyone used these? Rifle Rods Video I am considering setting up my safe for them. Are there downsides to this type of system? I'm also looking at the handgun hangers.

Model M&P40 Pro Series 5" M&P 40 Pro 5" Spec Sheet Well, here it is! I'm looking forward to picking one up sometime this year. Yes it's ugly, but I'll take the upgrades. Interestingly, they also have a 4.25" M&P 40 pro! 40 Pro 4.25" M&P 40 Pro 4.25" Spec Sheet

Hi, I have two wheelguns, both are S&W's. One is an M&P 340 5 shot J-frame (1&7/8") and the other is an M&P 327 R8 8 shot N-frame (5"). I use the j-frame for pocket carry and will use the 327 (when it comes in this week) for nightstand/truck carry. In the interest of consolidation, I'd like...

Hi, I have a Mossberg 930 SPX which is a smooth bore shotgun with ghost ring sights. I recently tried grouping 2 different brands of slugs and was surprised at the difference. The first I type tried were Federal Tru-ball rifled hollow point 1oz maximum slugs. I found I could get a 6" group...

Hi, I'm considering getting a 700p in .308 for long range (500+ yard) shooting. It has a 26" barrel. I plan on putting a 20x or higher magnification scope on it. Is 1 MOA out to 1000 yards with match ammo a reasonable expectation for this rifle, out of the box? Also, are there any...

I picked up a 930 SPX yesterday at Dicks's. It was $590 + tax. First I took it home, stripped it, wiped the shipping oil off, applied some CLP to everything, then wiped it off. I then put some very light grease on the appropriate lube points. Next I took it to a local range with a...
