chances R

mine stays loaded with the Hornady 55gr. SP

I have had a 5" Pro for about 4 yrs. Daughter has one. Wife a 4 " pro plus several other standard models , 45, 22, shield. All full size have either duty or comp trigger upgrades. Mine has the flat trigger and 'smith fit apex barrel. I highly recommend the bbl.. 10 shot group 1.25" @ 25 yds. To me the 320 was nice but prefer my apexed Pro.

Looks like a case of 'poor victim selection'

Same here and Hornady clean@lube spray for 'fine' parts Ron 55. Any reports on your frog lube experience?

Good thoughts. But, I would not let trigger alone make my decision. Capacity, carry comfort, operational simplicity/comfort fall right in there too. The P320 has a big fan club.

My Ruger 22/45 is a fun plinker and used a lot for new shooters in carry classes. Last time out had a couple of FTE (American Eagle Ammo) but worked fine with standard CCI. Soooo, broke down watched a couple of videos on takedown and more importantly reassembling the 'Mark" pistols. It was a close call and I decided not to break my promise to myself.......I promptly went outside and sprayed liberally with brake cleaner, worked the action numerous times, sprayed again, ran a bore snake through it and then sprayed liberally with Hornady Clean and Lube. Wiped it dry. Looks like it is good for several hundred more rounds. That was a close call, almost ruined half my day if I had taken it apart.

drop by a local gun shop and compare

'Common Sense' now there is something that has become as rare as 22 ammo use to be ️

Majority of the time I use a VersaCarry

Search Rob Leatham video for " aiming is useless" . My take on grip is that it has to be repeatable for consistency. To me there is too much variation with a less than firm grip. Most squeeze their thumbs down, IMO your thumbs should be "loose". This is one of those areas hands on instruction is helpful early on. If you watch video of some of the top shooters you will see the forearm muscles really 'pop'. You don't get that with a less than firm tight grip. Next dry fire session also try to drop or tuck your elbows in as if you are going thru a tight door. You will feel an increase in your side to side grip pressure which of course will firm up your grip. Just my 2 cents, YMMV

Grip can be elusive....but I would tell you to squeeze with your support hand as hard as you can without shaking. Your grip will be much more consistent and your groups will tighten. The key is to keep the front site still while you press the trigger. We all jerk the trigger to a degree, the trick is to jerk, press, squeeze the trigger without disrupting the front site. Once you have a consistent grip, 90% of shooting will be the trigger.

With my comparisons went with USCCA. Seems to have excellent response especially with bond.

So in a flat out test, does it shoot more accurately and faster? Being a M&P fan, having 6 or 7 (yes I like them), just need to know if I am missing out on the latest and greatest.

And yet to keep the water muddy, TN permits 18-20 yo to obtain a HCP and thus carry in their POV.

THIS ^^

A school bus stop for lunch will not pass muster IMO. One could expand that to a State swim meet, track, football etc at a motel. Will continue to carry in such instances and take my chances. You also note "any firearm use" this would seem to include students.

Being private property could be an exception. Not sure of the status of the property in question. A TWRA range, for example, would be different than a commercially ran sporting clays facility IMO.

IMO this was a "firearm event" therefore firearms are legal. Feel free to take your football or basketball to your next high school game.

Dan Wesson Specialist for show, M&P 45 for go......I prefer a date to a fight

So why not go to any of the established clubs with your buddies, male or female? No use re-inventing the wheel. For example ORSA has many established shooting disciplines and anyone (Female or Male) is welcomed to participate.

My guess a couple of months out at best.

I was just thinking.....if laws were clearly written, what in the heck would lawyers do ?

Until the AG rules I would avoid having anyone under 21 in possession of a handgun. The owner of the auto could, as could a permit holder. I think you could argue the point, but would be expensive to do so. Has recently been discussed here: https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/101498-castle-doctrine-question/

blue, red, or green.......they each have their secrets to success. My answer is you tube, you tube, and you tube.

Price Friday, January 20, 2017 | 8:08am Renewal Fee Drops from $500 to $200 NASHVILLE – Tennessee citizens with a valid handgun carry permit now have the option to upgrade to a lifetime permit for a lower cost. In 2016, the 109th General Assembly lowered the renewal fee on lifetime handgun carry permits from $500 to $200. The new fee for an original permit is now $100, and the permit is now issued for eight years. If you currently have a permit with an expiration date, and would like to upgrade to a lifetime permit, you can now pick up an application at any driver services center and pay the $200 upgrade fee at any time. Handgun carry permits are processed at any full service driver services center. If you’re applying for the lifetime carry permit without first obtaining an original handgun carry permit, the fee will be $300. For more information on handgun carry permits, visit our website, http://tn.gov/safety/article/handgunmain. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security’s (www.TN.Gov/safety) mission is to serve, secure, and protect the people of Tennessee. ### - See more at: http://tn.gov/safety/news/48121#sthash.XjGk7sQc.dpuf Randall, I think you can get a duplicate for $5. Easier to have a dup as a spare rather than to replace a lost one is my understanding.
