Approximately 7 weeks ago I sent the slide from my 4.25" duty-size M&P M2.0 9mm to Doug Presson at DP Custom Works to have their GAB 4.0 package and a fresh jet-black nitride finish applied to it. Today, it came back and I quickly reassembled it with a Trijicon RM07 red dot, 10-8 Performance sights (M&P front, Glock rear) and an Apex Tactical Specialties striker safety plunger. I am ambivalent about the Apex trigger on the M2.0 series so I have skipped that for now. They look good for social media but I built this to be a fighting gun. Some time ago I smoothed out the area beneath the trigger guard for my middle finger to stop giving myself callouses from how tightly I grip the gun, and I added some very simple, functional "indexing points" on for my support hand thumb. I wasn't trying to win any beauty pageants with that stuff, so if you think it looks like crap... good. I expect this cheap ole M&P to perform just as well as any of the guns that I have that were 3x as expensive as it. Talk about making a guy question his purchasing decisions.

Glock 19 w/ extra mag Mikov Predator Auto Lever lock Surefire E2T-MV Tactician This is what I carry on my person every day for personal defense. My daily driver has another EDC.... The Zippo stays in the pocket of my M65 field jacket along with a Ranger Silva compass; which is always in the back seat of my truck. the 870 Tac14 and battle belt are covered by the M65. When tensions are high and riots are imminent, the shotgun and belt are replaced with my AR and load bearing vest/plate carrier. Depends on what Defcon we're on. Sorry for the edit....... But this what I carry every day Best regards Rod

I know I’m not getting any smarter, but it sure seems like the rest of the world is getting dumber at an alarming rate. Can you message them back and ask for instructions on how to accomplish this?

Just waiting on the Holosun 507K now. Full review once I get it

Been loading for over 50 years. Great past time. Good way to get away from the pressures from work and the way my wife greeted me at the door coming home, " Do you know what your boys did today!" Started out with a RCBS rock chucker press and added on from there. I now still load on it and Dillon 650. Got 14 different die sets for that and maybe half that many that I still load on my rock chucker. Started casting my own bullets a couple years into loading. I now have 15-20 sets of 4 cavity Lyman molds a real nice sizing machine. It's been a great hobby for a lot of years. Sure kept my out of the poor house shooting practical pistol.

I hunted behind the house today in Hickman. My brother killed a 140" deer out of my stand behind my dads in West Tennessee this morning as well.. He's done tagged out and never sat in HIS stand the first time this year.

I noticed that others were selling the same thing. The only thing I noticed was that some of the other sellers had this typed in the description,,,, " this does not extend the length of your current magazine" . But my description wasnt that much different. So i made another ad so I'll see what happens.

I'm sympathetic to both but buying a gun for another person like that is a terrible idea. I hate that he's getting prosecuted for it though.

Prayers sent. Get well quick, Steelharp!

It's only going to get worse.

Hope you are well soon.

Praying for you

I have the 610-3 just like yours and the flag on mine looks exactly like yours-just sticks up that little bit. I think in the picture if you look close you can see the corner of the flag.

Advertise them as gun prophylactics. That ought to make them happy.

Yes, call S&W Customer Service.

I got into reloading several yrs ago. It’s addiction worse than guns. I bought supplies and when the 22 shortage happened, I bought more. While I see srp for stupid prices, I can go load for days upon days. Had a friend stop by and ask if I reload... yes. Carried him in and he freaked out on how much I can load. Wanted to buy some and got a big nope because I don’t have ffl to produce and sell. I’m looking into casting now just because I think I need to.

That doesn’t look right, especially if is causing a drag on the hammer. I only have one with the lock but have never locked it. For one I don’t have they key and another I wouldn’t even if I did. You might have to send it back or just remove the thing.

I’ve been purchasing guns for a long time, and I’ve never had to send one back for warranty work until recently. I wanted to install a Surefire flash hider on my Springfield Armory 300BO pistol. When my gunsmith removed the original flash hider we found the threads were galled and the crush washer looked like it had been welded to the barrel. My second issue was with my Sig P365XL optics ready NRA edition. The screws that hold the optic cover in place were stripped and almost installed sideways. I contacted Springfield and they sent out a return label while we were on the phone, and I had my pistol back in about ten days. Same for the Sig. They sent a return label while we were on the phone, and I got my slide back in four days. Great customer service from both companies. I had heard so many horror stories about service returns and wait times that I never wanted to send a gun in for warranty work. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I just wanted to share some good news.

HK VP9, Olight, and a Swiss Army knife, because if you don't own either a Swiss Army or a Boy Scout knife, you're probably a communist.

I got the opportunity to teach a young 10 year old boy to shoot, for the first time, today. My grandson's Tudor had to bring her 2 children with her this afternoon, for the first hour. Their dad picked them up. While we were sitting in the house, I asked the children would they want to shoot a 22 rifle. The boy jumped on it. The 12 year old girl was afraid so I didn't not push her. I did see her looking out the window, toward my back yard range, as he shot. If they ever come back, I think she will shoot. We talked about safety and I showed both of them about my MDL 60 Marlin 22 rifle. After I explained the operation he wanted to go fire it. I asked his mom and she said if I would go with him, he could. Needless to say he was amazed. He hit my 12" gong several times but did miss a few. When his dad come to get him he ran out to meet him and as soon as he rolled the window down the boy said, "Dad, I got news." He went on to tell his dad he got to shoot a real rifle, and gave his dad 3 empty shell casings my daughter picked up and gave him.

I could tell, this kid is hooked for life.

Sig Romeo5 gets good reviews

I've seen 223 reloads that weren't sized and seated right do that.

Stop the Bleed Knowing how to patch holes is as important (if not more so) than making them.

Armor is like a gun, some is better than none, but it's not the be all end all tool. I've always been indifferent to it for civilian use (though I surely want it commercially available for anyone who wants it). Bullets just don't bounce off of those things like they would Superman...it's just to protect vital organs from a shot that would kill. If you're going into a situation where you're wearing body armor, you should hopefully have good medical support and expedient transport to a facility that can handle trauma. If you feel the need to protect vital organs, your extremities and lower body (especially if you've got a plate carrier that doesn't go below the naval) are still at risk, and without someone to deal with that trauma right away, along with a care team at an ER equivalent, you can take a turn for the worst fast. Now, for those taking the streets...they're probably thinking about protection from less than lethal rounds, which means some cheap stuff would serve the purpose.

This is a pretty good primer, but it’s a deep rabbit hole. There is also a lot of controversy in the industry over the use of different materials, but you have to weigh your needs vs costs.

Prayer guys. Please. Miserable.
