My new Handgun

Recommended Posts

I just got back from Arms and Ammo and picked up an M&P 9. Paul was very helpful and I will definitely be shopping there in the future. The mags are stock 17 round that have been permanently pinned to 15. I can't wait till Monday so I can take it out to the range. :D

It was actually due to recommendations from people on this site, including you Sandy, that I went with the M&P series. Thanks everyone.

 

While we were waiting on the paperwork to get finished, my wife spotted the Model60 Pro and decided that would be her first HG once she gets her FID and P2Ps.

Yeah, Paul rocks! Just picked up a Taurus Judge for my wife on Thursday and also got to feel-up (sorry ladies) my Ruger that Paul was able to procure despite the the shortages and all with Ruger product orders these days....(hopefully P2P will be ready this week) That M&P is sweet... Did you special order it or buy it out of Paul's stock? He has a great selection and I was already eyeing some handguns in the display case that I can use my other 2 P2P's for....

Congrats and good luck with it! I just picked one up last month and LOVE it! Look into the Apex DCAEK if you want to make this great pistol even better! It'll give you an awesome smooth trigger pull. It's definitely worth the investment.

Congrats, I just picked up the M&P 45 and like it but the trigger is meh. So much take up that my finger winds up too close to my hand and in a weird position. NJdiverTony, I have started looking into the Apex DCAEK and would like your thoughts. Obviously, you like it, did you install yourself or use a gunsmith? Did the break of the trigger move up?

The Apex DCAEK and CompAEK do not move up the break or reduce pre or after travel. If you want to move the break up, look at the Apex FSS trigger. I have not had the chance to try one yet but, all reviews are outstanding. Most compare it to a nice 1911 trigger.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
