    That's interesting... Personally, I blame the assholes that decided to threaten a man and his employee at closing time with a gun (Reports state that the perps were armed with an unloaded .32ACP pistol) and try to take what he has worked for.

     

    As far as a lack of training: Click Here http://njgunforums.c...ce-departments/ for a little insight.

     

     

     

    What's your point? I read that article, and it only reinforces my belief that NYPD need more training.

    For future posts, when you post a link, try and discuss it or share your opinion on it.

     

    That's a really sad story though. It makes me think if you were in that position, actually making it out of the store alive and next thing you know your getting shot.

     

    I just read that rule. Will update my OP.

    Oh, I knew the initial investment would be over $210.00. I've been told it could run as much as $700 to $800 bucks, natually, depending on the type of equipment I bought.

     

    It just seemed to make more sense to take the $210 I was going to spend on 1,000 rounds of ammo and put it towards the initial investment necessary for the reloading equipment. I've already got 7 or 8 hundred rounds of brass on hand, so why not, right? At the same time, I'm going to have to start reloading once I run out of ammo, which I think is down to around 800 rounds. One of my many issues is that I tend to procrastinate. lol This will force me.

     

    Oh I see what you mean. I think it'll be worth it. I'll let ya know in about a month once I get my first batches fired. :) What press are you looking at?

    Thanks Nick, I certainly appreicate that offer. Our geographics present a challange, but I'll keep it in mind.

     

    I was all set to order another 1,000 rounds and cancelled the order when I realized it was $210 bucks I could put towards reloading equipment. So I guess my mind is made up.

     

    Its going to cost you more than $210 to start reloading. I'm just starting out as well and here is my breakdown so far.

    ROCK CHUCKR SUPRM MASTER REL KIT $289.95

     

    M2 TUMBLER 110 VOLT $64.99

     

    LEE 4 DIE SET 40 S&W/10MM CARBID $36.99

     

    RC ADVANCED POWDER MEASURE STAND $20.65

     

    ROTARY CASE/MEDIA SEPARATOR $29.95

     

     

    I still need a caliper. (Thought I bought one with the order above, apparently I didn't)

    Also need to build a table.

     

    1 pound of powder of your choice $15-$20/pound

    1k of primers $30 ish

    1k of bullets $115

     

    So as you can see, it will cost you more than $210, but still worth it in my opinion.

    If you are going to shoot Production then you are limited to 10 rounds per magazine. You usually start with 10+1. If I recall you are in Central Jersey - PM me if you are close to the western border (the Delaware River) and if you are using your P226 - I could loan you a mag pouch (double). You would have to come here since I'm not shooting CJ this month.

     

    Adios,

    Hey Bob, thanks alot for your offer! However, I already have a mag pouch, but its just two, so I was wondering if I needed more. And tbh, I haven't shot my 226 in quite some time. I've only shot my M&P since getting her last year.

    Others will add more info I'm sure, but:

     

    Pistol, 9mm or better

    3 Magazines at least, 4 is better. Or speedloaders if shooting a revolver.

    Magazine pouch.

    Sturdy belt.

     

    Here is some more info.

    Thank. I have all of the above. However, my mag ouch only holds 2 mags. All my mags are 15 rounders. Would I need more than 45 rounds? Or should I bring all five and keep some in my pocket?

    I agree the M&P is a very nice pistol. The Pro series is worth it if it has what you want. The longer barrel and sight radius, fiber optic front site, low glare rear, and a better trigger than stock. Sure the aftermarket triggers are nicer, but you will not be in a rush to change it out immediately.

     

    Hmm. Maybe that is why I was not impressed with my 40 Pro. Mine came with Novak tritium night sights. Great at night, but it takes me way too long to acquire my target during the day. But the trigger still sucks. ;)

    OP, if you are considering the M&P line, you're probably going to want to do some upgrades to the trigger. While all of the above descriptions of the M&P have been correct, one thing that has been left out is that the trigger on the M&P pistols are pretty horrible to say the least. It is extremely gritty, and even after close to 2k rounds through mine, its still gritty. Not as bad, but its still easily evident. Also, the reset is almost non existent. Its short, but very very mushy and you can hardly feel it. If you shooting, you will not even notice the reset. I can only feel it when I manipulate the gun with an empty chamber. And by feel it, I mean barely. Other than that, the gun is great. The ergonomics are the best compared to other pistols I've held. Its reliable like a glock. Shoots straight and true. The Pro series is not worth the extra cost however, as even with it, you will want to upgrade the trigger. Good luck on your decision.

    I was the guy with the Yankees #25 Teixeira t-shirt shooting on the first team at target #3. I was also at the left table for the jam clearing exercise.

    Ah yes! I remember now.

     

    EDIT: BTW, I was at the right table for that drill, so we are not talking about the same gun. Weird, as I've never had trouble with the mag release on mine. Maybe you just have a huge bigger thumb than me.

    In the MDTS Competitive Pistol Skills class last Sunday I counted 11 Glocks out of 16 shooters including the instructors who were shooting Glocks. In one of the exercises, we had to clear jams out of 12 assorted weapons and speed and accuracy counted since the bad guys were supposedly shooting at you. I could not push the mag release fast enough on the M&P (too small and too recessed) and had trouble locking the slide back on it and the 1911 (due to the external safety confusion). It was certainly nice to work and shoot 6 different weapons and see the differences in operation, handling and sights in use during this exercise. I still liked my G19 set-up best, but then I had it accessorized the way I wanted.

     

    Are you sure it was the M&P that had a mag release that was too small? I too had trouble releasing the mag on one of them, but I'm 100% it wasn't a M&P. (Not saying the one you shot wasn't) But the mag release on my M&P40 is more than fine. I've never had an issue with it. But the slide release is a different story. I could not for the life of me release the slide with the slide release when I first got the gun. I can now, however I prefer to manually release the slide. Plus, 9 out of 10 times, when I slam a new mag in, the slide releases on its own.

     

    BTW, which guy were you?
