    Lc9 or Db9?

    Haven't shot one but that's the same impression when I handled it, cheap. The coating on the slide looked like it was a bad spray paint job with Krylon. I''ve heard it is indeed snappy, but that is to be expected. I'm with you Sonny, I prefer an airweight for my pocket gun.

    S&W M&P 40 Pro 5

    How do you plan on using the pistol? Most of the time folks get the Pro long barrel models for IDPA or USPSA. If you plan on using it for that, you would be better to get the 9mm version due to the cheaper ammo costs.
  4. Okay I bought a Apex Tactical hard sear for my M&P when they first came out several years ago. I finally got around to ordering the remaining parts to bring it up to the DCAEK kit. I went to install the new sear plunger spring and it aint gonna work. It's a tad too small on the ID. (The spring kit comes with two springs and I did chose the right one for my gun. The other one is way larger.) The sear plunger won't seat on the Apex spring like the factory spring. When I install the Apex spring the sear only moves a small amount . Not even enough to enage the little arm inside the chamber area you flip down to field strip. What is happening is the spring is getting compressed too much and bottoming out because the spring ID is too small to go up to the correct shoulder on the sear plunger. See pictures below. Has anyone else had this problem? I'll contact Apex on Monday but just looking for some feedback since I know a bunch of you guys have the DCAEK kit. Also, I'm having a heck of a time trying to drift the rear sight off to do the USB. Yes, I did back out the set screw. It has only moved a sight amount and I'm banging it pretty hard with my punch. Any tips would be appreciated. Apex spring on the left - factory M&P spring on the right Factory M&P spring goes over the upper shoulder on the sear plunger. Apex spring won't go over the upper shoulder.
  5. I've placed two orders, one was magazines, one was some mag holders. Both went smoothly.
  6. Thanks for the update on the Saiga's. I was not aware that they are now doing the front handguard. Cool. I can't tell by the picture but are they now coming with a muzzle break?
  7. Very nice job indeed.
  8. Just went back and saw my original post left out a key word which I've now added. Sorry.
  9. Haven't dealt with them personally on this recall, but I don't think any recall expires since it was deemed to be a safety issue. That should also be true even if you aren't the original owner.
  10. I'd go with the gift card because then they have the option of adding the gift money to their own money to get something even nicer or put them over the top on having enough for a really expensive item like another gun.
  11. Too cool. I wish it had run a few more seconds more.
  12. Wow is right. Thanks for the post.
  13. Wow. I didn't know that occurred either. Thanks for the post.
  14. It's going to take some $$ to feed that thing.
  15. I'm guessing the dad is not around since you didn't mention him. Does he know or care?
  16. By which one of you? BTW, I've been meaning to ask you what Dolomite thinks about your sig line?
  17. Anyone listen to VSQ? Never heard of them until the other day when my college age son mentioned it to me. Pretty neat to listen to a different take on rock music. Very relaxing. Here's an example. Many more on youtube.
  18. Yep. Mother of all Goodwill scores. I've got some decent deals, but nothing like that.
  19. Not sure about the sign you mentioned but I went by their store about two weeks ago to use their range to sight in a Crimson Trace grip on my J Frame. Went there since the G&L H'ville range is too short. Anyway, the store doesn't have a large selection and the range area still looks like a work in progress but was fine for what I needed it for.
  20. We're all forgetting something here regardless of just hearing his side of the story. I was talking with a friend of mine at work and he pointed out it's a oxymoron to have a suicidal survivalist.
  21. Here is a link from Proarms Podcasts (Massad Ayoob and friends), podcast number 018 that talks about Crimson Trace. You can fast forward to the 49 min mark and they give their recommendation of how to sight the laser. 018 Crimson Trace Laser Grips and Laser Sights Review « The ProArms Podcast In short, their procedure is to adjust the laser so that it is parallel to the bore and not to adjust it for a given distance. That way you don't have to worry about changing distances and the laser aim to bullet impact crossing points. If it parallel it will stay in the same relationship until the distance gets great enough that the bullet trajectory comes into play which is typically further than a SD situation.
  22. The only prize from what I understand is if at least 90 people show up...HOGNUT gets a hair cut.
  23. Save your money and don't buy from Amazon. Right now Amazon is $29.75, direct from Waterbob is $24.75, Cheaper than Dirt is 19.97. I bought mine from them around Christmas and paid $17. CAMP-205 - WaterBob and Siphon Pump Holds 100 Gallons in FDA Approved Bag
  24. The forecast for Saturday isn't looking too good right now. Hope it changes because I'm not up for shooting in active rain.
