Now if anyone would just get the Romeo Zero in stock. Optics Planet keeps pushing my ship date one day, every day. Grrrrrr.

Please don’t post pictures of that.

Jealous. I was really thinking about getting this same pistol. I was wanting more of a combat sized and I liked that it was RDS ready. Then I “accidentally “ bid on a M&P 2.0 9 Compact and won. After moving the Crimson Trace Laser on eBay, the pistol only cost me about $200. I really like it. Because I still wanted a pistol which was built to take an RDS sight, I will be the proud owner of a P365XL tomorrow. i will post my own review once I get it to the range. Then, once I get the Romeo Zero installed ( if they ever come off back order) I will add it’s review. I will be interested in your thoughts on the Masada after you put another 500 rounds through it.

Right there with you hipower.

That is true.

Mayo, the new gun lube....

I’ve heard that some folks like mayo with peanut butter. I’m a HUGE fan of both, but never cared for them together

I realize the thread topic is “Combat Accuracy” but most of us are not likely to be in combat.

In a defensive situation, if my attacker is 25 yards (75 feet) away, chances are I’m going to try to flee rather than attack. I know Tennessee is a “Stand your ground” state. However, if I shoot and kill someone who is 75 feet away, a prosecutor or DA’s office might try to make a case that I was not in imminent danger to life and limb. When it comes to self defense training, I am more concerned with accuracy 10yards or less. If I could, I would love to train shooting close range while moving backwards or back and to the side. Unfortunately you can’t just do that at a typical range. I do move the target out or 15 or 20 just to see what I can do, but I don’t send too many rounds at that distance.

So, Apparently my wife does particularly care for the smell of Hoppes #9 wafting through the house when I clean my pistols. What other gun cleaning solvents does the TGO collective recommend that may have less (as my wife would say) “pungent” odor.

All my range toys... M&P Shield 9 EDC M&P Shield 45, BD sights #2 EDC ATI GI 1911 45, just fun to shoot, M&P 2.0 9 Compact

Newest toy is an M&P 2.0 9 Compact.

I did buy one of the gear/ammo sale items https://www.ammunitiondepot.com/ammunition-depot-9mm-tactical-sling-pack-350-round-pmc.html and added 150 more rounds to make it an even 500. If I take out the cost of the bag ($38.22 w/tax) from what I spent, then it was about $0.16/round. It’s not a bad little range bag.

Who has used (if anyone) the 9mm US Cartridge Remanufactured Clean Barrel polymer coated lead core ammunition? https://www.ammunitiondepot.com/us-cartridge-cleanbarrel-remanufactured-9mm-115-gr-bronze-tpj.html?unit_type=21 It seams a decent price per round in bulk, but not a “can’t pass it up” price.

I went to BGA at the old campus south of Franklin. Spent a lot of time on a school bus between Nashville and Franklin.

So I actually joined back in December but I thought I should actually introduce myself. Born and raised in Nashville, as was my dad (family from Russellville KY before that). Seen alot of change in 50 years. I like shooting, Land Cruisers, camping, Hockey (not necessarily in that order I found the list after it was recommended as a possible place to sell my Kahr K40 (still for sale, but possibly working a deal). I kept reading other threads and have enjoyed everyone’s thoughts on not only my questions, but other topics. I have met two list members face to face to close sales. Both were just great folks and a pleasure to meet, chat with and deal with. I look forward to more insights, thoughts, opinions, and maybe even some good deals. Thanks

I do like my Shield 45.

Aren’t most of our purchases impulse buys?

https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/207409 well, I guess my deal on Gunbroker was not as good as it could have been. Based on this price, I overpaid by $24 Still, a great way to get a M&P 2.0 9 Compact for cheap if you sell the laser separate.

Other than face to face through TGO, I have bought through Gunbroker.com. I have purchased handguns, mags, ammo, etc. The downside is it can be a bit addictive to bid on things and you might win when you don’t really mean to. My last purchase was a case like that, but it worked out to be an awesome deal. A new M&P 2.0 9mm Compact with a green Crimson Trace laser and two 15rd mags. $408 with $15 shipping. I sold the laser for $210 on eBay so the pistol cost me $198 plus $15 shipping and $35 for FFL transfer/ background check.

Um........no.

So I am curious. What are folks opinions on aftermarket sights for pistols? Not optics, but normal sights. I am thinking about night sights for my Shield 9 or my M&P Compact 9.
