I so wish there were TN specific reads such as these based on Florida law as well as Federal statutes. Home index page for Florida Firearms gun law book (floridafirearmslaw.com) Florida Gun Law: Armed And Educated (Third Edition): 9780578456485: Amazon.com: Books

While in Florida are you ever on the PMRPC 600 yard range?

I've read numerous reports of screws being sheared and optics flying off due to issues with the supplied plastic mounting plates. I for one wish a steel plate was supplied by S&W, but in fairness I don't believe any gun manufacturer supplies a steel plate.

A thread on another forum I'm on where a lot of financially savvy folks are discussing this. Maybe some good reading if one is considering jumping in. https://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f28/the-i-bond-thread-113668.html

I like that this metal M&P platform is offered in 10mm. I wish however it was available in a 4" model as the Tupperware version is.

Might be $30 well spent.

FedEx has had the policy in for sometime now. This a change for UPS.

Not anymore. That’s my point. UPS, like FedEx, will no longer accept a firearm from a non-FFL. A manufacturer providing a shipping label to an individual is no longer a thing as none of the carriers will accept the firearm from the individual.

"UPS has changed its policies. Like FedEx, UPS will now *ONLY* accept firearm shipments from FFLs. An unlicensed person can no longer ship a handgun without the services of a FFL. An unlicensed person may still ship a long gun to a FFL in any state or to another unlicensed person in the *same state* via U.S. Postal Service (USPS/"mail"), but not via UPS or FedEx. An unlicensed person may not ship handguns via U.S. Postal Service." So with FedEx not accepting firearms except from an FFL and now UPS adopting the same policy, and with handguns unable to go via USPS, will manufacturers somehow make right the costs the consumer will be paying in the way of FFL charges to ship and then once again receive a defective firearm? Seems like FFL's will capitalize on this new revenue stream. FFL charges could easily add up to another $100 just to send off and receive back the defective gun. Thoughts?

Hipower, as you try out various 9mm handguns I'd be curious of your feedback when you get around to trying the IWI Masada. I'd like to know the pros/cons compared to all the other similarly priced competitors you have experience with.

A couple of things I keep in my kit are aspirin and diphenhydramine (Benadryl) in both capsule and liquid form (Zzzquil) If myself or someone with me is having cardiac symptoms indicative of aspirin administration, it's good to have that at my fingertips. Diphenhydramine for an allergic reaction. I'm also a big fan of the Israeli bandage. A great way to secure a trauma pad anywhere on the torso and larger limbs.

Amazing how an AR-15 in the hands of a regular citizen is an "assault rifle" but as soon as the same gun is placed in the hands of a police officer it becomes a "patrol carbine."

Another wishful bit of firearm legislation I would like to see in Tennessee, ironically also as is the case in Florida, is preemption with regard to where a firearm can be discharged. In Florida, State statute makes clear that a firearm may be discharged on one's private property regardless of how small or how large the property is so long as the shooting is done safely without negligence. Granted, safely and without negligence is subjective; however, a municipality such as a city or county cannot make their own rules dictating anything different than what the State allows. A city cannot write their own ordinance stating "No discharge in city limits" or "No gunfire after sunset" or likewise. I see so many posts here asking "may I fire my gun on my property here or there?" It shouldn't matter where one resides so long as one is on their own property and the bullets are not leaving that property.

From 100 yards to 1250 yards I enjoy what I can do with 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm only punching paper or hitting steel, but the fast, flat shooting bullet has made me appear to be a better shooter than I am.

Similar here. Most often I carry the 365 in appendix position but more & more I'm carrying my M&P 40 on my hip. Once I'm confident the kinks have been worked out with the M&P 10mm I plan to get that and have it replace the .40

I have a great chart showing DME Ejector Pin part numbers cross reference with bore sizes. That's what I have used to ensure proper alignment. If someone wants to PM me a text number or email, I'll send you the chart to post here. I get too frustrated trying to attach pics to my posts here.

I agree with everything in that post. Furthermore, if the Government cannot define a "woman" I have no confidence in their nuanced definition of a machine gun.

I have a Glock 22 Gen 2 and Gen 4. I also have a 9mm conversion barrel that allows me to reliably use 9mm ammo in the G-22. When I bought the conversion barrel some 15 years ago it was to train with the more economical 9mm ammo while carrying the arguably more potent .40 ammo when not training. That flexibility has served me well.

A lot of variables to that answer. The 10mm round will be traveling a lot faster than a .45, but the type of bullet will have a lot to do with "over penetration" concerns. Know your target and what is behind your target. I encourage you to do your own research through reading or watching videos, but 10mm is basically a .40 on steroids. Really, .40 is a neutered 10mm. Conveniently, many 10mm handguns will reliably fire .40 ammo, although no manufacturer recommends this.

For me personally, I like the ballistics of the round. From my line of work, I have seen too many people shot with a 9mm round and they were doing better than I would like if I had been the one who shot them in defense of my life. Admittedly, a lot of those were shot with ball ammo rather than defensive ammo, but the size and velocity of the 10mm round makes for a potent defensive handgun.

When I saw the release of the 10mm M&P it took a lot of restraint for me to not find one to buy right away. I'm glad I waited. I've seen multiple reports of numerous issues that when reported to S&W they simply minimized or ignored, at least publicly. I was hoping they would make some minor rolling production changes leading to improvement. I was reminded of how Sig had some rolling changes to overcome a few items with the initial introduction of the P365. I pray the bugs are being worked out by S&W. I figured I would give the new platform a year in the market before I lay down my money for one. It bothers me though that a cheap plastic MOS mounting plate is what's included instead of a quality machined aluminum plate.

I sympathize with your frustration. Drives me nuts when something that should be so simple becomes a herculean task. I am anxious to get the new M&P 10mm but hearing some negative reports about the gun and S&W's replies to the consumers has me holding off. I hope I can get back to where I have confidence in the products S&W turns out as well as responsive customer service from them. I don't see me getting to that point any time soon.

I'm anxious to get the M&P 10mm. Debating between the 4.0" and the 4.6" versions. I'm cooling my jets for a little bit though to allow them to have some more time in the market. I'm reading of numerous users complaining of FTE/FTF issues and couple of cases of slide mounted optics shearing the screws and flying off under recoil after several magazines.
