Patton

Glock already announced the G41 to be a tactical practical 45. A G21 frame with a G34 width slide but for 45acp, making it lighter than a G 21.

I have one on the 7rd magazine. It's ok, it should have been made a little longer and straighter. With medium to large hands my fingers feel cramped, but not as bad as the keltec extension on a Pf-9 though.

Yes, and truthfully really didn't care since I treat all approaches with equal caution.

I can't believe people even buy the .40 with so many departments using the 40 I have thrown away more than I have reloaded. I did trade 1k 40 for 1k 9 awhile back.

I have several Glocks and have carried my Shield a lot lately, to me the M&Ps hold up a lot worse than even the newer Glocks. Those ~$325 M&Ps on the used market people aren't even buying because they look so bad.

Officially, the Tenifer process stopped in 2009. There are still publications out there with claims to a Tenifer treatment process and still sales reps and customer service reps claiming the Tenifer process. Tenifer was just a patented name, to my understanding the same company is doing the finishes now called nitrating.

It is in fact in comparison to the same calendar date the year before. Also though keep in mind that if you were involved in a serious wreck and injured someone they have one year to count their death as a fatality for the year. From today until Dec 31, 2014, I bet 2013 TN traffic fatalities increase by 5-10 more fatalities.

When I used to work patrol I could look up license plates through the TN department of safety website(accessed by LEO only). It would take me to a page that did have the drivers info to include DL and HCP. I rarely did this initially because of the time involved. If I just called a plate into dispatch I would not know by the plate if the RO had a HCP.

I know a female manager at a Walmart that I have had some interactions with tell me she didn't care if Walmart got any ammo in or not. And that it was up to her if she even wanted to place an order.

Sea_Dog, I got to Hawaii as a MP in 2003 and was working a gate with a cool, laid back Specialist. It was my 1st week and he was telling me a few tips, pointers, and stories. I told him. "I heard about that stupid private that got caught screwing the SGM's daughter in the back of the patrol car. He must be scrubbing toilets somewhere right now but truthfully should be in jail". Later that same night the specialist cute wife comes by to talk to him and bring some lunch. She hangs out for a few minutes and leaves, she comes back through the gate but she is with our SGM. SGM says hi and calls the specialist by his first name. The car leaves, I say to the specialist, "That's weird". The specialist says, "No, it took a few months but he got over what happened in the patrol car".

I can't believe I didn't share more of my stories, flash back to December of 2002 at Ft Leonard Wood. I was in basic with this loud mouth, ugly gal from Brooklyn. No one including the DS could say something without her voicing her opinion. Oh, did I mention she was ugly? Anyway, one day we all get called out to the company area for a head count. The DS count everyone about three times and they are running around like crazy, we had no clue what was going on. MPs and CID start showing up by the dozens, now they are running around back and forth between my company and the company next door. We over hear a DS talking to another DS and hear him say, "****** Drill Sergeant Palmer *** ********* ** ** what a ********* idiot". We go up to the kill zone and one of our DS tells us the DS from the company over got caught screwing private "ugly" and that they had went AWOL.

WHAT? Where are you getting that info?

Unless you think you may shoot more than 10k lead bullets through the same gun I wouldn't bother to change the barrel. The lead left behind easily comes out with a brush. I do reload 9mm but it's questionable if it's worth it. Now if you were to cast 9mm would make a lot of sense, roughly 50 9mm come out of a pound of lead.

Oh, yeah the M&P 45c does feel great. I have yet to shoot one but they feel better to me than a Glock 21/30 after handling a Glock 23 all day. My familiarity of Glocks in 9 and 40 has what has ruined me on Glocks in 21/30. After years and 10k rounds through Glocks in 9 and 40 the 30 feels odd to me but a M&P45c doesn't.

I started when I was 10 years old with my dad and his friends. Honestly, I believe for the most part everywhere has been hunted out. I haven't been in over 10 years.

Google Ooma telephone and you can buy me lunch next week for the tip!

It has to do with him being a pawn shop and has nothing to do with being a FFL.

They are good people there but unless it is coming from an FFL he has to keep it for 30days, stupid laws.

I had a XDS and it's size is amazing, for some reason I just couldn't love it though. For one the grip safety made me nervous and the trigger was terrible. The recoil was a lot more than the recoil of a Shield in 9mm or 40. I would have loved to have tried a Kahr PM45 up against the XDS, but then I didn't care for the Kahr cw45 either. The Kahr Cw 45 does fit about every holster made for a Glock 19/23 out there. Two old classics in 45 are the S&W CS45 and a Bersa, if you can find either one. Speaking of "hens teeth", a Sig 245 or 220 compact is built around the most popular 45 for law enforcement in the country.

The Shields are awesome enough that I can look past the fact it is a M&P. They carry like a small gun and shoot like a full size.

Glock does a lot of things that I don't understand. The Glock 36 has never really been a hot seller. With that said I guess Glock has thought there first single stack was a disappointment so others would be as well. S&W M&Ps tend to have very inconsistent triggers. I have picked up some that are terrible and then the next one will be butter smooth.

It was with me, I even sold you my almost new 30sf because I couldn't stand the thick heavy slide, the balance is off. Before the 30s ever came out I made a 30/36 hybrid and thought it was perfect. Recoil feels the same and of course it carries easier, not to mention be able to use most G19 holsters and all G30 holsters.

It will be slightly smaller than a M&P Shield, close to a PM-9 size. I am basing this of the leaked measurements.

I just recently heard someone confirmed by a patent inquiry that it is indeed a .380

I'll definitely consider going larger, space isn't too much of a concern but locating it to the deck and backyard may complicate the situation. I have a terrible back and sit in the ones at the gym all the time, I honestly have to make trips to the hot tub just so I can make it to work. The hot thumb is more of a necessite than a luxury, I tried and tried to get a doctors note so I could write it off as a medical expense but I couldn't get a doctor in board to do it. I can't wait any longer and the wife wants one anyway.
