triplecrown

Thanks to both of ya for the info. That puts me in for tomorrow. Certainly looking forward to this.

Would I be cuttin it close with three 15 round mags?

I know I'm a little late with this but i just got it last night. Asus Transformer Prime tablet. This thing is awesome. Also a bunch of Dick's gift cards that got me almost 500 rounds. I'm definitely happy.

Anyone have 2 spare M&P .40 mags? Looking to try this out for the first time but only have 3 mags. I would try and stop somewhere to buy but im stck at work till 8 tonight. I'll throw in a box of ammo!

You didn't get refunded??? I was under the impression everyone got their funds back when it closed down. I know I got mine.

Ok so this was my first time starting a thread in Bucket 3 section. Being at the top of the thread I read the last line of the rules and guidelines. If this is offensive and not permitted, I apologize. I don't think it's that bad and I guess it's up to the mods.

Came across this today. Nice form. My link

Same exact situation here. Used to go down and play at least 3 times a week after my day job and being 2 hours away. Taj Mahal was my home, never played tournaments accept home games with the boys. Always played 1/2 and 2/5 and if I did well by the end of the night (7 in the morning an hour before my day job) I would call out of work and hit the stud table to try and make some real money. Did that for a couple of years. I still go down probably once a couple months. Never really had a bad streak but gambling and playing cards is like firearms to some people, they don't get it and think its the root of all evil.

Class of 01. I'm a bit of a younger guy I guess. Family in Roselle and Scotch Plains too.

I was born and raised in UC as well, Cranford. Moved out to Jackson bout 6 years ago.

I really liked how black ops showed your kill/death ratio and your score per minute in the leaderboards. You would see people with high kill ratios and low score per minutes and just know you would have to go searchin for the whole they're hiding in. With the direct opposite you'd know you be in for a crazy match with people runnin crazy everywhere and I'd slow my play up just a bit. By the way my gamertag: triplecrown44 on xbox. Always looking to have fun.

Very true and like bbk im not bad mouthing your style. I play COD a lot honestly and became somewhat decent so my deaths are low. But also, if everyone on your team goes 20-14, I am pretty sure thats a win everytime.

Running around like a lunatic gets me at least 20 kills vs a "camper's" 10. This game was definitely set up this time to not really be able to hunker down.

Just a quick update for anyone interested. I emailed S&W about the M&P 40 Pro not being on the approved production list. I got a reply back two days later saying they have yet to fill out and submit paperwork because they have not sold enough units to make the criteria. Also said it will probably happen around next year. Well, no big deal I guess. I'll just shoot L10 like everyone has suggested and I greatly appreciate everyone's help with my questions here.

Yup thats the list I referenced and my M&P isn't on it. I've still been searching for answers on that it seems like it's close to making the production list. And I got the response back from Atlanta arms with their price list. Looks like I'll be getting a case of that soon. Thanks for that reference!

The M&P is a double action only gun and even that's debated a bit. I guess technically its safe action like the glock. I just want to shoot some local matches in production for fun but if it's not on the production list I guess I'll be shooting L or L10.

Yeah I ended up getting the serpa holster and blackhawk single mag pouches. But now there's an even bigger hiccup in my whole plan. I was planning on shooting production but my gun is not on the production approved list. I have the M&P 40 pro and S&W has yet to submit the paperwork to uspsa to get it on the approved list. I know I can shoot limited and limited 10 but I was really hoping to start at production. Looks like I am going to have to give S&W a call and see what's going on.

Yeah I'm thinking I'm going to get the serpa mainly because I get half off everything blackhawk. Also I plan on doing this just for fun and don't need the best gear. If I end up loving it and want to devote more time to it then I'll upgrade.

Yeah apparently it's just a matter of them filing the paperwork which has yet to be done.

Yeah so some more looking around revealed that the M&P 40 pro is a no go for production in neither the 4.25 or FS 5" barrel.

Research continues and I see a lot of people use the Blackhawk serpa holster. I'm probably leaning towards that now being I get half off at blackhawk. Any feedback on the serpa?

I completely know what your talking about belt wise. I already have a couple I'm looking at.

Good stuff henrym! Now I have gone to blade techs site and I feel like I'm starting all over again. I have no idea what I'm looking for. Once I even picked a random holster it gave options like tek lok or loop and stuff. Yup, definitely not quite sure what each is. Now I am doing some research and a lot of people say blade tech and that's it and never specify which one. Also when it comes to mag pouches I'm assuming people go with two double mag pouches or am I wrong?

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be looking into blade tech. Now my other question still remains, M&P 40 Pro with the 4.25" barrel good for production???

Hey everyone. New handgun owner here but been shooting a lot the past 6 years. Anyway I'm definitely interested in USPSA but have a couple questions. First is I came across the list of approved handguns for production and I'm not sure if mine is on there. I have the M&P 40 Pro 4.25" barrel. I saw a couple other M&P's there but not this one and heard the 5" hasn't been submitted for approval yet. My other question is what holster would you recommend for my M&P? I have done some research but it seems there are a loooooot of options when it comes to holsters (DOH, fobus, bladetech.....). All help appreciated!!!
