Good decision on the M&P9 Pro. Great gun. You may want to consider an M&P22 to go along with it. I have one and it's almost identical to my M&P40 (except lighter). If you haven't done so already, you should try a 1911 to cover the 45 cal category. Lastly, if you're considering shooting USPSA, a .40 cal pistol is the most common in the limited/L10 divisions.

Do you have the Speedbead? Or did you mount it on a pic rail?

Have to head down to Edison this Saturday...looking to shoot a match.

I still dry-fire my real guns, but you can only pull the trigger once. My airsoft guns helps me with trigger control on multiple shots (e.g. two shots on USPSA targets) and transitions. I had a bad habit of jerking the trigger on fast second shots which resulted in many low/left C zone hits. I believe airsoft practice helped with that. I also practice shooting at targets while moving. The biggest advantage is being able to shoot multiple times and seeing where your shots are going. I'm always shooting alphas when dry-firing...my airsoft practice tells me otherwise

Personally, I would never give away any information until I have eyes and sights pointed at him. If racking a shotgun will scare away an intruder, so will surprising him with a loaded shotgun pointed at him. I'm all for avoiding conflict, but not if I risk losing any advantage for the sake of the bad guy. As for the original topic, I'd rather have a laser than not. However, I'd rather have one that you can control rather than always on via pressure switch on your grip. You never know what situation you'll be in. How can you guarantee you'll have a good sight picture?

I think airsoft has a place for training provided it's a blowback and similar weight/feel (i.e. metal). I have a 2011 hi-cap gas blowback pistol that fits in my ghost holster and use it to practice in the yard. It's much better than just dry-firing as you are actually shooting at targets. The blowback, while not anywhere near the real thing, is much better than nothing as well. Triggers are comparable so that's a plus. They're accurate enough at close ranges too. I built an aluminum plate rack with 6" plates that I shoot at from 30'. It can hit the plates easily at that range with 25g bb's. In a nutshell, I'm glad I got it and would do it again...the more trigger time the better.

I say build it. You've already have some experience with your fusion and can build it just the way you want it. I'm also assuming that you're not looking at a lower end (e.g. RIA) 1911. If you need to sell it, tell them it was built by TCG...Topher Custom Guns!

I'll take them!! Wait...this is not a for sale ad?

Thanks Chris, that's what I was hoping to do as well.

Thanks Ryan, I'll check it out the next time I see you at Tenafly.

No idea...I can't make sense of it either, but I'm glad I got the Porsche!

I suppose I was looking for a cheaper option. I usually regret those decisions. Here's a funny example of mine: About a dozen years ago, I was car shopping and was going to get a Hyundai Sante Fe. Affordable, practical and seemed to make sense. I was all set to buy and went to the dealership. However, the options I wanted needed to be special ordered and would take 2 months. I said forget it and went to a Porsche delearship and drove out with a new Boxter. Hyunday -> Porsche...pretty extreme ends of the spectrum. To this day, I thank god I didn't get that Hyundai. Go big or go home, right? I may now shift my focus on building an open gun.

I was hoping that a tungsten guide rod, Apex FSS trigger and an aftermarket barrel (e.g. KKM, Storm Lake, etc) would help address that...to some extent at least.

I'm looking to get a new competition toy. It's clear that S_I 2011 framed pistols dominate the USPSA limited/L10 divisions, but are they that much better than a 40 caliber glock or M&P that it's worth paying the higher price? You can get a nice G35 or M&P 40 Pro with upgrades (trigger job, magwell, tungsten guide rod, barrel, etc.) for around a grand. You'll probably have to spend double that for a 2011 setup. If I'm spending that much, I'd rather spend a little more and get an open gun. I know it's more the indian than the arrow but wanted to get some feedback on whether the polymer options are at a big disadvantage.

In this case, the 2 revo shooters were using 1 gun...yours

Yeah, the classifier was rough. Bucky did the best on our squad and only had 8 hits and 10 mikes! You really know if your sights are on at that distance....ask Maks

Not streaming...DVD.

For those of you with an interlock setup, did you have to get a permit and have it checked out by the electrical inspector? I'm hoping I can just install it without having to get my building dept involved...you know how that goes.

Finished watching it. Not bad. I watch a lot of kung fu movies so the subtitles didn't bother me. I've put Double Tap on the queue as well

Same here...

I know...I've squadded with you guys before. I'm Mike, the short/stocky Korean guy Just wanted to let some of the new members/shooters know (e.g. FLHX) and possibly organize the squad(s) here before the match.

Registered. Let's try to get a njgf squad together.

Crimson Trace had a nightime laser event. Recently saw it on TV.

My friend was perfectly fine. The blast was more upward instead of towards his hands (blew the slide partially off the rails). Even if you can't hear a squib, you should definitely feel it. Squibs generally don't eject the round properly. He just cleared the jammed case and kept firing. Lesson here is stop if anything seems off.

Reloads.
