That's funny...I'm remodeling the downstairs half bath this week. Maybe I'll try to make a deal, I'll finish the bathroom if I can go out and play at 3 of the 4. Edit: 4 of the 5. Indoor action is next Friday as well.

Wow!! Busy couple of weeks at OB. I'm going to have to be extra nice to the wife. Maybe I can get to more than one each week.

Unfortunately, they come that way.

Picked up my M&P 22 today from East Brunswick Sportsman. Ready for OBRAMS!!!

Most of the M&P's are available with a thumb safety. Hopefully it will be optional for the Shield as well.

No accuracy problems with my 9L. Rings 8" steel at 25 yards easily.

Just turned 44 but, still feel like I'm 43!!!

Everyone on the m&p forum is guessing single stack pocket m&p 9 or 40. If it is, I need one!!!

A small vise may be just fine. You don't need tp crank down on the slide, you just need something to hold it that doesn't move. If the small vise in bolted to a workbench, it will be fine. As far as not damaging the slide, i just wrapped 2 layers of painter's tape around mine and it worked great.

I bet the dogs are gonna love those...LOL!!!

I'm glad that worked for you but, would not have with mine. It took several serious smacks with the hammer to break free. The front was even worse, requiring a real hammer instead of my little brass gunsmithing hammer.

I installed the Comp AEK in my M&P 9L. It really wasn't too difficult. I used a vice and punch on the rear sight but, I also installed a Dawson Precision rear and front sight at the same time. I really wouldn't try to remove the sight without a vice or sight pusher. They are in there really tight. Advice: Take your time and do it along with the videos.

They may not mention them but, they are required. Here are the forms: http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sts-033.pdf http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sp-066.pdf The Local PD will give you the info to set up a digital finger printing appointment with Morpho Trac.

What about Monday, the 9th?

Tango and Cash House of a Thousand Corpses Devil's Rejects Goodfellas, Braveheart, Animal House, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High are pretty good too.

I think that would be a good gun for many things. Steel? Maybe not. If that's all you plan to do, go with a 9mm or even a .22 to keep the ammo costs down. Going through 150 - 200 rounds of .45 stings the wallet a little. Very nice though!

I've got about 2500 rounds through mine and it has been trouble free so far. Try one out, if you like it, buy it.

Welcome!!

Much better.

Well, they don' have the besg prices or cheapest shipping so I don' usually purchase ammo from them anyway. But, with this policy, I will try not to purchase anything from them now. Sucks because I need a larger range bag and they seem to have the best prices on decent range bags.

+1 That's getting really annoying!!!

Nah. Just sling shot it. It will work just fine. Now, stop reading the manual and get to the range! Go have some fun!

The only time I hit the slide release is when I don't slam the mag in hard enough. It's a nice feature of the M&P but, I seem to forget and just insert the mag at times.

I have the 9L and that's not the case at all. As a matter of fact, if you slam the full mag in, the slide releases itself, don't have to hit the slide release or pull back the slide.

I sent Dawson Precision an email requesting info about which of their sights would work best on the M&P .22. I would like to match the .22 to my 9L. This is the reply I got:
