Shocker

I put in the duty/carry apex kit, it's a nicer break and reduces to 4-5lb pull. And that's what I use for IDPA, in .40. The competition kit makes it a REALLY light trigger. EDIT: that's ssp. So while I was curious about the apex trigger, I'll be sticking with the apex sear and striker block only. Used to use a Sig also in .40

Well maybe in 10-15 years My wife an I welcomed Austin Michael into the world yesterday morning. Very exciting times :)

Jailbroken iPhone.

I just used it, I got 5 quotes (I guess I was looking for something common). I think it's a great feaure. All of my quotes were within a few percent of each other so I went with the closest shop. It's good to know everybody was in the same ballpark. I have nothing to improve, although when I submited my request I got one response in a few hours and the rest trickled in over a few days. I had no idea how many vendors were going to respond so i suppose it would be helpful to get negative responses but that's probably up to the vendors.

They have a loaner program for SigForum members where they circulate sight pushers. Might be worthwhile joining up if you only expect to need it once. I tried getting a SigPro pusher but there weren't many at the time...the P-series are much easier to come by.

No, I'm pretty sure if it's holstered hammer down you're GTG in SSP. And since the Sig has no safety you can't be cocked in the holster in ESP anyway. I was just thinking that thumb cocking will be about the same as having to repeat a DA trigger pull a few times if these Federals don't turn out as soft as you were hoping. EDIT: I forgot you're going from magnum to small pistol (right?), not just changing mfr...I bet you'll be fine.

What about cocking after you draw?

Currently at 5 weeks in Franklin Twp (Somerset Co) for pistol permits. I was encouraged that the reference letters went out the next day (references showed me their forms with postmarks) after applying but since then radio silence. The person in charge of permits does not answer her phone or return voice mails so we will see. Will edit this post when events warrant. EDIT: 5 weeks on the nose

CheyTac Intervention? I actually own a Python which I have no practical use for but I really like looking at it.

My ST-22 upper would eat that stuff no problem and she was a finicky ****. Good stuff.

I almost guarantee a locksmith can change the combination, depending on how chintzy or fancy the tumblers are. At the worst case he could replace the whole locking unit as a set as long as you already have the door open (sounds like you do).

Wow this thread derailed...

I'm going with no safety, with the duty/carry trigger kit, about 5#. I appreciate all the input. I actually agree with most of the folks recommending the safety for some circumstances but the fact is that I won't be carrying, I won't be arresting anybody, and at home it will be secured.

No way Tap it out with a punch, as i understand. Factory blanks are readily available to fill the hole that it leaves behind.

Bah, should have made this a poll. But over on S&W forum they did a poll and it was pretty much right down the middle. I never owned a gun with a safety before but my DA/SA Sig has a very heavy DA pull, almost twice the M&P. My revolver is a revolver. I don't want the 5" barrel, and the 4.25" in the Pro Series only adds night sights and performance sear. I feel I can do better with an Apex kit which is still SSP legal

I'm going to get an M&P for my next purchase but I'm hung up on the thumb safety issue. Its available with and without on the regular (not really interested in the Pro). Some say keep the safety, it would help if a BG takes your gun away from you or if you were (somewhere in America) carrying and you can always leave it off if you so choose...some say forget it, the passive safeties and intelligence are all you need and it might get bumped into safe accidentally... You can also get a safety model and remove the safety later but let's not worry about that. Thoughts? PS, I'd shoot this in IDPA and as I understand it the gun doesn't have to be on safety in the holster since it's a DAO so that's a non-issue.

I use Titegroup for IDPA .40 loads. 3.6gr with 180gr FMJ's, very soft. I never chroned it but I'm confident I'm over 125PF. I think i could even go lower and still make 125 but I'd need a new recoil spring. 3.6 fills the cases a little less than half IIRC...i think you'd notice a double charge pretty easily.

lol

They can even make stuff out of metal (it's sintered, but still...)

Ehh...

When I had my 22 AR upper which was a little finicky with ammo I liked the CCI Tactical...IIRC it was $25 for 375 so right in between Federal bulk pack and the Mini Mag in terms of per-round price. My 15-22 is a little more ammo-agnostic so I'll probably go back to Federal when the CCI runs out. Still keep a few boxes of Velocitor around for squirrels. Auto match was terrible, I stick with plated now.

Discovery?

I think a better plan for me for next time is to stop missing targets.

Ha! I did that too on the triple moving target stage. It was like...stomp...ah crap

I hope to improve on my previous performance.
