I want to continue carrying a mid sized pistol, my M&P Carry Comp,
Into the summer months as I have throughout this winter. I have found it is comfortable enought to do so IF I can continue to use my horizontal OWB mag pouch. Carrying both a double stack pistol AND a mag pouch both IWB to be...
It's a shame Para Ordinance isn't around anymore. Their wares seemed to be of high quality but of reasonable price. Did they make a single stack 1911 too? I'd like a traditional yet more than GI spec .45 that doesn't cost a fortune and the Para models seemed to suit that niche perfectly...
Shoot any M&P 2.0 or contemporary Shield and I think you will be amazed.
I own or have owned Glock, P320, Walther PPQ and now an M&P. Of those I like the M&P the best so far, though I'm hanging on to the Glock. The M&Ps seem to be free of S&W's QC woes too, of the three I've had none have...
In Central PA I am not terribly concerned with printing. I'll IWB a Compact like a G19 or my even larger Carry Comp under just a T shirt and the butt prints prominently whenever I bend at the waist. No one ever notices. But then PA is an open Carry state besides so it doesn't super matter to...
The current M&P lineup is far beyond what the Sigmas ever were and to be fair the Sigmas were solid, dependable guns.
Still the M&P 2.0s are among tge very finest of the type in terms of ergonomics and certainly grip texture and tge newer non hinged triggers (often referred to as "flat face"...
Hmnn, I consider the classic 1911 as a separate beast to what I am talking about here. I'm basically talking about aquring a mild race gun for range use and the 2011 in my mind is the preeminent example of the type. However......
Either of those could fit the bill also.
They are simply...
Getting back on track I am interested primarily in Single Action guns for range/Target purposes and I got it in my head that the 1911/2011 platform is tge pinnacle of SA guns. Is that actually true however? There are numerous other SA options such as SA versions of the P226 and there are SA...
The Shield is the best shooting micro compact on the market, end of story. Now that the warmer months are upon us I will be switching back to my Shield Plus over the Carry Comp. Which bums me out a little since I really like the Carry Comp and equipped accouterments for nighttime work.
Thanks to inflation the Staccato XC has an MSRP of $4,200. When released Bul Armory is stating a $2,800 price tag so significantly cheaper while still being a high end piece.
As for the folks that brought up carry guns:
I'd never carry a gun like this, to me tge polymer framed stiker fired...

I even would put that same red dot on it, I believe that is a 507 Comp up there.
Tac Comp, Carry Comp, L-Comp, some may ask why I am so obsessed with compensators lately. Well-
I've become a S&W fan for sure, I like their products and I will purchase more of them. However when you buy a new manufacture S&W revolver be prepared to send it straight back to S&W, right out of the box even, for repair.
Those stores are overpriced to a laughable degree. Either get from your LGS to support them or order online where you get the best price. I do both., I order magazines in larger quantities online and piecemeal from my LGS.
This shit should be self evident, y'all blowing my mind. As a man once said
'When I cross a one way street I look BOTH ways. That's how little faith I have in humanity"
I swear someday I am going build a house, inside out with a patch of grass and garden in the middle, change my name to Wonko...
There is no debate about this. There is a responsible way of doing things and an ignorant dumb fuck way of doing things.
It's right in the rules: never point a weapon at something you are unwilling to destroy. How the hell are you to make that determination if you can't see what you are...
You can't say that for sure. What of I'm some lost teenager, the victim of some prank gone wrong? What if I'm a deputy investigating some report? Your neighbors dog? Anything. To be honest an intruder with ill intent is probably the least likely thing to br in your yard. You search/scan...
Pointing a gun at something that you have not identified is stupid, foolish, unethical and depending on the circumstances potentially highly illegal.
'What if" nothing- your bump in the night is more likely to be your kid, pet, spouse neighbor, pizza delivery guy, door dash guy or perhaps most...
Weapon lights aren't really about getting PID, not for the private citizen anyway. A solid identification should have already been achieved prior to illumination with the weapon light as at such time you will now be pointing a deadly weapon at the bogey, if in circumstances that it turns such...
There is no .327 Mag version of this model, just .32 H&R and .38 Special. They absolutely should do a .327 Magnum however. Thjs oft overlooked cartridge is probably the best defensive cartridge for a small revolver. You get 6 round vs 5 and ballistic performance similar, if not slightly...
I have heard they have had some QC issues. Internet scuttle butt so take such with a grain of salt but such things are not at all unheard of from new production S&W revolvers. All that being said I ask where the hell is the .327 Mag version?!
Never heard of em and the price tells me it's likely garbage. There are a few optics that are passable going for around $150 but for use beyond that of fun on the range a quality optic will run you over $200. Duty grade stuff over $300.
Holosun has pretty much become the go to for red dots...
SIG is totall garbage now. I didn't realize that they outsource their parts to 3rd world countries that produce shoddily made parts from inferior materials. I'm an M&P man now, through and through. I'll never get rid of my G19 but the M&P is a great pistol, maybe the best on the poly/striker...
As for weaponlights and pistol configs in general-
I am happy to have my M&P equipped as it is as I now have a pistol better suited to low light conditions. I carry at work on the night shift, often in seedy Urban industrial areas. A pistol light is there to illuminate your target so you can...
Is there a milspec for pistol lights?
To be honest when it comes to accessories you can usually do better than military issue gear since there is a whole bureaucracy involved in getting things approved that we don't have to deal with.
As for SiG. After watching a multi hour expose on SIG and...
I dunno, does Modlight have anything in the TRL-7 form factor? I have two ModLights and they are excellent but this Streamlight, in addition to fitting PERFECTLY on the Carry Comp, was $180 and tge output of the HL-X version is more than acceptable. Yes I know it's made in China and yes that...
That is quite impressive. There seems to have been a trend towards higher output at the cost of reduced runtimes. For use by private citizens I think this is an acceptable trade off.
They EPL is a compact form factor?
Whats the output on that one again?
The market has moved forward quite a bit over the last 3 years. The current offerings from Streamlight are very tough to beat. The HL-X models are pushing insane output fir their size, the TRL7 does 1,000 Lumens @ 22,000 Candela!
I really think that in a defensive situation onw should focus on getting ANY kind of solid hit. Center of mass and pull the trigger till the attacker ceases their assault. A solid shot to the pelvis would have a good probability of halting an attacker but a grounded attacker can still be a...
Certainly seems to given the man the drive and zeal to do everything he can to break them. I sincerely hope they realize that if they were to try to do so now they would ignite the rinder box that our Nation has become. A successful attempt would certainly start a true Civil War.
It's like Trump is just going down a wishlist and checking off items one by one. The tried to kill him at least twice now and he can't run again so he will do as he damn well pleases.
In terms of what you feel safe with is of course entirely up to you and there is no room for debate there. In terms of pistols being Single, double or DA/SA actions you are objectively and provably incorrect. The Glock Safe action is distinct from all previously listed actions and this type of...
The P365 is not a single action gun. It is a partially precooked striker much like a Glock. Pulling the trigger cocks tge stiker the rest of the way and releases it. It's more like a DAO system.
Oh cripes that is a nice gun! I want the snub nose version of that model. And a 627 TRR8.........and a 629 Stealth Hunter.......and maybe the new no lock model 19
