Shocker

I was never able to get the RainX anti-fog not to be streaky. I've had some success with dish soap - wipe it on, wipe (not wash) it off so it leaves a residue.

How sure do you want to be? Proper maintenance + 50 rounds = GTG for me

It will be colt because the bean counters will nix any good solution

I was trying out some new loads in my AR and Sako yesterday. One batch in eight or nine was worth anything... J0n was there with a small arsenal too. two guns. Edited for accuracy, haha

All I could think of from the title is "better than standing in front of it!" Har har har

All things being equal I think they would feel the same. But 9 and 40 frequently use different powders which will feel different and if the recoil spring is different that will probably come through also. I'd be interested in a 1-to-1 comparison if someone did it though.

I'm also a fan of the Apex hardware but with a little research you can clean up the sear and striker block with a dremel and bend the trigger bar slightly for a nicer reset, all for free. Of course, you screw those operations up you can always buy the Apex parts. I love my M&P.

Yes

This may have been addressed before, but if they pass a national reciprocity agreement will states like Florida stop issuing nonresident permits? Because I guess they wouldn't really need them any more except for the unreasonable states?

I guess the sheep of NJ are happy with the way things are

That was my interpretation, and that's how I modified those Black Dog mags when I used to have some. You can disassemble them and clean them but when they're back together there's no way to go over 15. With 1-piece steel magazines that's not a choice though.

And make sure all mags are =<15 rounds

That may not be "permanent" because one could easily swap out an unmodified follower. A disassemble-able, pinned magazine may require the follower to come out the top somehow. Or be split in half like the Black Dog magazines. But that's just off the top of my head. EDIT...or maybe after the spring was removed the follower could tip sideways and get past the limiter...but something like that is exactly what anti-tip followers are supposed to stop...

If it functions reliably and is accurate I'd say you're good. I have a light load for IDPA that barely goes two feet from the gun. Factory ammo gets flung 20 feet or more from the same gun.

Yeah maybe ideally but we all know that is in practice that statement is just silly. A DIY-er who does their homework and doesn't cut corners doesn't need permits except that they may hinder a sale.

Does your town require a Certificate of Occupancy? If not then the permit is only good for the town to charge you more taxes. If they do require one and you already got one despite the lack of permit than he can go pound sand. All houses are sold as-is. As long as you weren't hiding anything then nothing is actionable.

I don't think USPSA has made a decision on the "production" aspect of the Pro yet. Not sure though. I got a 5.11 belt on ebay for $25. I wanted a separate belt so I didn't scratch my "normal" belts, but with good old fleabay you can get a full on duty belt with the internal stiffener for less than a regular belt. The M&P is a "rush" item at Blade Tech and Comp Tac both, I think. One week turnaround. Wow I used a lot of quotes in that post...

Blade Tech and Comp Tac were recommended to me. I went with Blade Tech and I've been happy.

Frank, ya want my IB class notes? They're large-cal oriented but the physics are the same.

If you blind pin it that's "permanent", just countersink your existing pin then cover it with JB weld. A little dab of satin black paint and you're done. Edit: so a trigger pin is probably too long but if you cut it or used a set screw that would be do-able

File it smooth and use cold blue or duracoat?

Grainger and McMaster usually deliver next day. Another vote for Mitutoyo BTW If you're in Morris Co by any chance check out Sheaffer Tools http://www.sheaffersupply.com/

Nice video. I was amused by the car they chose for all the car illustrations looked like a convertible Bentley Continental GT. MSRP about $200k
