  1. My UnderCover Flex is still going strong. No leaks, no complaints.
  2. Zaya Gran Reserva. It's a medium-to-dark bodied rum but still very good, and I trend towards darker rums myself. https://www.rumratings.com/brands/1030-zaya-gran-reserva
  3. Ya'll brace yourselves because I am done with Tapatalk. Deleting it from the server this evening.
  4. Oh mamma. Yeah, an OTF would be awesome.
  5. Tried it with an M&P? Those sights are pressed in there HARD. It takes some muscle with the right tool to get the front sight out of there.
  6. Welcome, Heath!
  7. Any reason why you prefer .40SW?
  8. No offense, but every time you post it becomes an increasingly more ridiculous arrangement that would make Rube Goldberg shake his head in disbelief. I am a fan of Occam's Razor. If you aren't familiar, it is a problem-solving principle that holds that the solution with the least number of components is the correct one. If you apply it to the completely absurd scenario you're painting for everyone, the most simplistic solution is to avoid it completely. Don't think that I am being inhospitable, but you're a complete newcomer and all seven of your posts to date are about a situation that anyone with common sense wouldn't partake in. I can't decide if we're being trolled, fished or if you're just one of those people who seems relatively intelligent but lacking in the aforementioned common sense. No matter what it is, I'm closing this thread. You should probably seek legal counsel before you do any of the crap you've described to us here. From an attorney, not a deputy or a police officer or the Internet.
  9. It should be more accurate with a wider range of ammunition due to the revised twist rate of the barrel. Beyond that, it's going to be up to you to do your part. It's no silver bullet but it would be a worthy addition to your collection if you already have that many of them. I honestly haven't noticed any difference. Both this and my "M1.0" M&P 40 index just fine for me without any adjustment. I will note that my M&P 40 has a heavily stippled grip insert from Damato Custom Stippling, so maybe that is the difference you are seeing with the M2.0 since it is heavily stippled from the factory. Maybe you're getting and maintaining a more solid purchase on it from the draw.
  10. That's a good deal. The bottom has completely fallen out of the black-rifle market thanks to manufacturers betting on the wrong outcome of the 2016 Presidential election. They overstocked expecting a panic, and no one panicked when it wasn't Hillary that won. Thank God, but wow it's caused a weird ripple through the firearms industry! Of course that should make all of us contemplate just how badly we were taking a bath on AR-15 prices for the past 8 years.
  11. I had a chance to run about 150 rds through mine yesterday. It performed flawlessly. I added a combination of Vickers Tactical plain black rear sight and orange outline Ameriglo Pro i-Dot front sight before doing so, as I run this combo on several handguns and am very proficient with it. No surprise that it worked great for the M&P also. After shooting the gun a bit, I took some 1000 grit aluminum oxide paper and very lightly knocked down the sharpness on some of the stippling on the palm-swell insert where it meets the web of my thumb. Not much. Just the sharpest peaks. This made a world of difference in the comfort of shooting it. I'm carrying it IWB right now in the same TT Gunleather holster that I used to carry my M&P 40 in. Feels a bit like an old friend.
  12. I can't seem to see your photos.
  13. https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/notifications/options/ Make sure your settings for Classifieds are correct.
  14. That sucks. I really hope he finds a gig with Springfield or something.
  15. I think you are safe for a little while. The CZ is on my list also but I bumped it down in "desirability" after CZ delayed shipment of them to the States until late April. And that is assuming they don't delay them again, too.
  16. Well the thing is, I was pretty sure I wouldn't be going back. While I liked my M&P 40, 45 and Shield just fine, for some reason none of our full-size M&P 9's ever really grew on me. I should probably add that the new M2.0 has a 1:10 twist rate which really helps the accuracy of the thing as well, and that was a problem I had with some ammo and the "Gen 1" 9mm. I was really, really surprised at how much I like the M2.0
  17. Yeah, I get that. I'll add it to the list of things to try and fix. I think MacGyver's theory is the most likely. This probably got jacked up during an upgrade.
  18. I'm intrigued by how important this feature seems to be.
  19. When you're wrong, you're wrong... I bought my first M&P back when Smith and Wesson introduced them in 2005. It was my M&P 40 and I still have it. I was shopping for a Glock 23 when the S&W rep who was visiting Guns & Leather handed me one and asked if I had considered their new plastic-fantastic. I left with not only it but also an M&P 40 compact, and soon after added an M&P 9 compact, an M&P 9 full size, an M&P 9 Julie Goloski edition for my wife, an M&P 45 Mid-Size, and an M&P Shield 9mm. To say that I have had my share of M&Ps is maybe a slight understatement and I definitely wouldn't consider myself a Johnny Come Lately to the ownership circle given the timeline. For at least 6-8 years, my M&P 40 was my every day carry but it was eventually replaced with a Glock 19 for reasons that most of us have probably given at one point or another. "For the sake of change" is probably the most honest answer I can give anyone, but I had an assortment of other reasons waiting in the wings if I was pressed on it. Besides, the Glock 19 is arguably a very reliable and functional gun. But so is my M&P 40. Fast forward to late 2016 and the new M&P M2.0 was announced by Smith and Wesson. I admit it. I yawned. I scoffed. I publicly stated that I saw little about it that would motivate me to go back to an M&P 9mm after having had a relatively bad experience with the full-size M&P 9 that I had owned before. I was wrong. Last weekend I had the chance to shoot one. It felt better in the hand thanks to the aggressive stippling that S&W has applied to the frame and palm swells. The beaver tail was gone and suddenly it was even closer in length to my Glock 19 than the previous offerings and it felt better riding inside of my TT Gunleather inside the waistband holster without the frame protrusion digging into my chiseled, well-muscled midsection. The frame was less "flexy" at the front of the slide thanks to the change in design that extended the metal skeleton all the way forward. The front cocking serrations weren't all that big of a deal, but they weren't ridiculously ineffective either. They didn't sway me either way, but they did add a bit of flair to the expanse of boring metal forward of the ejection slot. But the trigger. Damn them, the trigger was better than I anticipated. It was smooth and clean right up to an abrupt wall, then it broke crisply and without grit. The reset was firm, tactile and audible, and the reset travel was maybe 3/16 of an inch from the terminus to reset, measured at the bottom tip of the trigger itself. The reset still isn't as forceful as a Glock 19 with OEM connector and trigger return spring, but it is right on par with the feel of a reset from a Sig P320. It honestly feels better than any Apex'd M&P that I have owned or fired. So what does a guy do when he's as wrong about a firearm as I was? Yep.
  20. I'm glad that TGO was able to help!
  21. Very sorry to hear of your father's passing. Thank you for feeling at-home with us enough to share, and thank you again for sharing photos of that beautiful 1911. What a fantastic heirloom, packed with decades of memories and tradition. I hope that it brings you infinitely more enjoyment than any tinges of sorrow, and reminds you most of the good times together.

  23. There's always that chance. The only way to fall into the trap is to NOT do it through an FFL.
  24. People will spend their money on anything, I guess. If I am going to spray crap in my holster to "make my draw faster" I'm going to use Bacon Infused Olive Oil because it's better for the environment and if hunger strikes me while I'm in the middle of some serious Pew Pew action, I can eat my leather holster.
