RE: M&P Shield.....

I am thinking of selling my LCP to fund the purchase of a Shield. Still on the fence about it.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Have you shot the shield? I would certainly do that before making the switch.

A small gift to my wife from me ! The Left is hers (AR) and right is mine (22) A little appreciation for what she does for me, after all she encourages my hobby !! Cigars!!!!!:banger

Re: First Firearms II
 

lol....

Re: First Firearms II
 

Nothing says love like a gun :tu because if it turns bad, well...she has a gun!

Re: First Firearms II
 

I am a M&P crazy and I would recommend taking a look at the M&P9c or M&P40c which is the compact version of the M&P full size. I had a 9 shield and love it but I wanted a little more gun. And it is simple a little more. Either way a move to the M&P series I think is a big move up. The feel, performance and ease of use, disassemble etc is outstanding

Re: First Firearms II
 

I went the opposite, went from the compact to the shield, easier to carry thanks to the single stack, loved the compact was just to bulky for me to carry, like a Glock 26

Re: First Firearms II
 

I have an SW99 for full size, Glock 26 for compact. Looking to replace the LCP with a subcompact 9mm.

Re: First Firearms II
 

shield has a much better trigger than the lcp.

Re: First Firearms II
 

When I was a cop I always carried Glock. Decided on a S&W M&P .45 Subcompact for the wife and she loves it. I was also impressed with it after shooting it. Definitely a fan of S&W now. We ended up also getting a Springfield Arms XDS 9mm for something even smaller. It is ok but I think we may look at a Shield. May just keep this 9mm and get the .40 Shield.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Ordered some new glass last week and if Im lucky it will arrive wednesday before we have a day at the range.

Anyone who reloads ever try drilling out the primer pocket flash hole on the military brass that has the two offset flash holes? I'm burning through a bunch of 7.62 from south Africa to break in an AR10 and they have the berdan primers. Maybe it only has a single?

Re: First Firearms II
 

The shield is twice as heavy, too. You're probably talking about the LC9, though.
I only mention it because I have the LCP for my ankle.

Not even what I was gonna say...
My buddy had a laser/light combo he wanted rid of, and it looked like it'd fit on Weeze's Walther P22.
I brought it home, and sure enough. Works great.
I only paid 40 bucks for it, so nothing lost. I'll get a few more bucks for the gun when I trade it for her.
That Walther had paperwork that said it originally had the stock Walther laser on it, and the tools are in the box, but the laser wasn't on the gun when I bought it. Go figure.

The rail on that gun isn't very sturdy, but I figure that's better. It might take up some of the shock and I won't have to readjust that laser every time she shoots.

I showed it to her when I came home and she was nonplussed. She doesn't really have the gun gene.
I told her "BUT IT'S TACTICAL!!!" and hit the dirt and did a couple rolls.
Then she liked it better. :lr

Berdan vs Boxer
I looked this up once and remember reading it is possible.

Re: First Firearms II
 

If you are going to pocket carry keep the pip.
If you are going to holster carry get the shield.
Bigger round, better trigger, REAL sights.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I'm keeping it. The price on these has really tanked around here. Palmetto State Armory has them for $240. I'll just keep it for that. Maybe find a holster to put it on the bike for long rides to shoot at loose dogs.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Is that one of those Veil holsters?

Re: First Firearms II

Spent a few hours at the range yesterday punching holes in paper and ringing the gong.

Cute little green Keltec. ;)

Re: First Firearms II
 

Looks like fun! And nice weather :tu

Re: First Firearms II
 

Is that thermal?

Re: First Firearms II
 

What is the deal going on for .223 right now? I found it for .36 or so a shot. Anyone got some places to buy ammo from other than Midway or Cheaperthandirt?

Re: First Firearms II
 

Try surplus ammo arms. Get on their mailing list and about once a month they have a 24 hour sale on .223 that is close to or maybe better than .36 a shot

Re: First Firearms II
 

Freedom Munitions It's where I get all my ammo from. Both their Reman and New is good stuff. http://www.freedommunitions.com/category-s/1916.htm

Re: First Firearms II
 

You are correct.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I know... I was reading the article yesterday thinking great....

Re: First Firearms II
 

So, they are labeling ball ammo as "armor piercing"? GTFOH! asshats

Re: First Firearms II
 

Dont you know by now they will label it whatever they can in an effort to create a false shortage for us the sport/recreational consumer.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Ha, sad but true :sl "we the people" my arse.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Makes me glad I load my own. Which reminds me I need to send a package to Scott.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I wish I was into reloading my own...

Re: First Firearms II
 

Well, my tax stamp was approved today for my SBR. :wo

Re: First Firearms II
 

Lookin' good.

I just got a red dot and magnifier on my AR15. Nothing wild. I went somewhat cheap with the set up since I do not use it.... maybe 5 times a year. I need to get out there more but I can't find anyone to split some ammo with to make it cheaper to buy.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Done, stock will change when my order from PSA arrives.
Shot it yesterday afrernoon too.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Looks good Justin, one day I might have to get around to building one.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Gonna bring it to the guy who built the upper. Needs the gas port opened up some. She short strokes. Fires, rejects, but fails to strip a round most of the time and fails to lock open on empty mag

Re: First Firearms II
 

Sounds like the gas line has a crimp on the bend. If it isnt dirt at the frond end of the port.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I think I'm gonna buy an M9. Everybody line up and laugh at me. :D

Re: First Firearms II
 

nah its a 11.5 barrel. im better smaller than needed gas port. gonna have him measure it first

Re: First Firearms II
 

Why laugh? Its reliable, big, accurate, big, can hold a boat almost as well as an old computer monitor, and its big. :r

Re: First Firearms II
 

I did forget its a short barrel. Probably true the smaller port wont vent enough pressure.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I know, right?
I figured it'd be good for pounding nails. Plus it'd be a great gun for my wife and daughter to learn on. Move up from those .22's up to 9mm and not have to worry about the jump. It'd give them some confidence before going to a little .380 or a little 9.

At $600 new, I think they're a bit high. I'd think I could get a second-hand hardly used for 400 bucks.
Or 10 bucks for one that's been in action and racks itself. :lr
