That... is an abomination.

Yep.  So let's address the initial question a bit further...   Your friend's SIG is a double-action / single-action (DA / SA) handgun with an external hammer.  Single-action means that the trigger does not cock the hammer but merely releases it.  Double-action means that the trigger is capable of both cocking and releasing the hammer.  A handgun denoted as both double-action / single-action is capable of being operated in either form.  Single-action trigger pull is usually much lighter and shorter than when pulled completely through via double-action.   The de-cocking mechanism safely lowers the hammer from a cocked position, returning the cocked handgun to double-action mode.   The reason your M&P does not have a de-cocking lever is because it is a "striker fired" design.  It does not have a hammer, but rather an internal striker which is cocked by cycling the slide, either manually or semi-automatically with each complete action of the slide during a normal firing sequence.  The striker is kept in a "safe" position normally by the design of the sear which incorporates a striker (or firing pin) block.  The block is lowered as the trigger is pulled and the sear disengages.

Thanks for posting.  Hope to see you active.

I run the EOTech OpMod sight on two of my rifles. Love it. Highly recommend it. http://www.opticsplanet.com/l3-eotech-opmod-exps2-holographic-sights-limited-edition-red-dot-sights-exps2-0-opmod.html

I'm looking at the feed ramp on my 40 and it's as slick as glass but I've probably got close to 8,000 rds through it to date.  If you're going to polish it, what Jonnin said will be your best bet.

Stop the madness... don't turn into a gamer here.  There's no reason to polish the feed ramp of your M&P unless you're experiencing some sort of failure to feed.  Just shoot it.  A lot.

Welcome to the zoo.  :)

I like it.  I could see going with 9mm and using it as a "survival rifle" of sorts for hiking.

You guys ever read the announcements?

  Like I said... still trying to come up with ideas.

Gotcha - thanks for the heads up.

Just sayin' :)

Sooner or later someone with a HCP is going to get murdered on their way to or from the office, and their family members are going to sue the living shit out of the employer for prohibiting the deceased from being able to have their legally possessed handgun in the car at the time.  When that happens, I hope the employer is bent over and their bank account is reamed out properly by the court system.   That is the only way this is going to change.  Until it does, we're all pissing in the wind with our hopes and dreams because TN's legislature isn't going to side with anyone other than the big tax payers.  i.e. Corporations.

Welcome to the group!  There's a lot more here to do than just the Classifieds, although they are definitely the happening place.  Be sure to get involved!  :)

Never go full retard.

Spot on, Randy.  Spot on.  :up:

One side note...   I past fighting pistol / carbine classes that I've attended, spent magazine retention was not emphasized.  It was more of an eject, let it fall, insert new mag, keep shooting mindset.  I've seen mags bust apart when they hit the ground, especially if you were training on a hard surface instead of soft dirt.   Back then, if a mag blew apart it wasn't a big deal.  Go home, order another.  With the current political climate and supply being diminished with worst case projections being that Swinestein might get a mag ban through, I am likely going to abandon the practice of just letting the empty mag fall free and will rather seek to retain it in some fashion or another during my reload process.   That's not to say that in an active shooter scenario, God forbid, I would slow down to retain a mag.  Just saying that in a training class, I'm likely going to start stuffing empties in my pockets instead.

When I consider how many magazines I should have on hand, in general, I am not considering how many I will carry.  I am thinking long term and viewing magazines as consumable items.  Springs wear out.  Housings break, get dented, etc.  While you can replace springs and followers, if a housing is destroyed you are now down one mag.  And if the parasites in power have their way, that is one mag you won't be able to replace.   My statement stands.  Buy as many as you can afford until you feel like you've acquired enough to last you for a long while.   Carry as many as is practical.

  I've worked for some folks over the years that I'd like to see wetting themselves in a corner while being pinned down by simmunitions fire.  :D

I'd buy as many >10 rd mags as I could afford right now.

Sweet baby Jesus that page looks like Uncle Sam threw up on it.  Good read, but wow... someone needs to lighten up on the colors.  It really made my eyes hurt just trying to adjust to what I was seeing.  :(

  Milspec has been the "new cool" for the past few years and there are some so-called training outfits that have benefited from it by providing "Dude Ranch" experiences for the milspec fanboys.  Like I said, it's an out of the box Band of Brothers experience for folks who never served but want cool war stories to tell when they get back to their mundane jobs.   Then there are training outfits that are absolutely serious about equipping people with practical skills that could save their life someday.  Those places have my attention.  The others have my sarcasm.  :)

Yes, we are aware.  Still working on it.
