hand polished the flats of the slide and the trigger. Hand fit new solid medium length trigger, commander ring hammer, 20lpi checkered mainspring, hand polished sear and disconnector, then adjusted the sear spring for consistent clean sub 2.5lb break. Resprung with correct springs. Decided to...
I’d like to get another 100 rounds through it trouble free at the next range trip. Then I would feel comfortable endorsing it. But initial impressions are very good.
1st range trip is in. The 4.6” polymer framed M&P 2.0 in 10mm is quite a shooter. Shot 50 rounds Of blazer, 50 rounds Of Aguila and 50 rounds Of sig sauer (which is the hottest factory stuff I have) for a total of 150 rounds. Overall very positive experience.
positives:
soft shooting for a...
With 1911’s you can do that as they have locking lugs and recoil spring plus hammer spring. With a gun like an M&P or a Glock they only have a recoil springs and no locking lugs and no hammer springs. Thus if you mess with the recoil spring you run the risk of the slide opening before it should...
When the gun launched 3 years ago there was some 4.6” and quite a few 4” models that had problems. Swapping out recoil springs and mag springs seemed to help but not always. In the last 1.5 years the complaints seemed to have dried up which makes me think S&W got the issues sorted. I decided to...
Also did more work to my Tisas Nightstalker in 9mm.
added fiber optic front sight, stainless barrel, stainless barrel bushing, VZ Alien G10 grips, Wilson combat full length guide rod and plug,Wilson combat recoil spring and main spring, Wilson combat safety plunger spring, Wilson combat bullet...
Been working on my Tisas Raider (M45A1 clone) in 45acp.
added high visibility front sight with tactical rack rear sight, Wilson combat full length guide rod and plug,Wilson combat recoil spring and main spring, Wilson combat safety plunger spring, Wilson combat bullet proof seat, Wilson combat...
So I have spent some time now with the ruger ready dot sight. Currently have a total of 2500 rounds while using it on my I first ran it on my Sig P365 Xmacro, then my Ruger RXM and finally on my shadow systems CR920X. I have experienced no breakages or failures of the optic, nor has the zero...
Have tinted front windows and completely tinted front windshield is illegal in nys and makes a vehicle fail nys inspection unless it has a dmv issued tint exemption sticker. I’m sure that just like with illegal window tint nobody would ever find a way around this law with their vehicles.
Or the Tisas/MAC DS9 or $1400 and get a prodigy. The Turkish 2011’s are absolutely good to go and offer tremendous value. The prodigy seems to have gotten thru its teething issues and is compelling as well.
It really does seem like the people running Sig are just professional assholes. Rather...
EGW extended slide release
EGW 1 piece guide rod assembly
EGW magwell
Atlas Gunworks short trigger
Wilson combat safety plunger spring
still need to do extended mag release, spring kit, optic and light.
There is also the weight difference. Internet commandos will always go one about how they will only conceal carry an HK MK23 with X300 and an Acro. Your average person is going to daily carry what is most comfortable. 10+1 of 9mm is 1/2 the weight of 10+1 of 45acp. Also factor in that outside of...
Good to know. I’m interested to see how reliable the brat is. I have a bunch of duramag 10 rounders that have been reliable so far in my prodigy that I got for $34 a piece new. Being able to share mags between guns is a bonus.
Didn’t have much choice. The handle on the faucet broke off and the faucet was already leaking and was changing from a leak into a constant stream. With how the plumbing is there is no current way to shut off water to the utility sink faucet without shutting off water to the whole house.
I had...
Decided to replace a leaky broken basement faucet today. Went to Lowe’s and found out they don’t sell just the faucet, you have to buy the whole utility sink. Went to Home Depot and bought just the faucet I needed. Currently replacing the faucet with great success!
I know the feeling. This is the last gun I buy for quite a long time and was a post wedding present to myself. I had been chasing getting a 2011 for 2+ years.
Got a factory HK extended mag release for my HK P2K and a wilson combat full length guide rod and plug with a coupe of Wilson combat 7 round HD mags for a full size 1911.
All the other states in the country will continue to do whatever they want as long as they see NY, CA and MA do whatever they want with impunity. Until NY, CA and MA are reigned in this is just blowhard talk.
No I don’t think it will ever happen outside of direct federal legislation. I was correcting the false statement that says we can’t have threaded barrels. We absolutely can have threaded barrels, just not on detachable magazine semi auto guns.
We can have threaded barrels on bolt actions, lever actions, single shots, and non detachable magazine semi autos. If by some miracle nys suddenly allowed suppressors you could attach it to any one of those type of firearms.
All this does is say that you spent money at a certain type of retailer. Not what you buy or how much. With a store like cabelas all they know is you spent $500 on something. Could be guns or ammo, could be camping equipment or fishing rods. NYS already knows when you buy guns or ammo in this...
I think this was intentional. Say something to someone on “accident” who you know is going to run and blab to everyone. Good way to convey a point to certain individuals or countries all the while doing it unofficially.
At work I have said certain things to an individual who I know blabs...
Got more practice today with my P365 XMacro Tac-Ops with Ruger ready dot and TLR-7. Did 50 rounds bill drills at approximately 5-7 yards. Still need to get better on the draw as I want to tighten up the group. Would like to do another 2 practice sessions and then will feel comfortable carrying it.
