High Exposure

In all seriousness, I bought a pistol UpLula when they first came out. I have never, ever used it - Even in classes where I have fired over a couple thousand rounds over a few days. It is a completely unnecessary device IMO. I gave it away last fall... to a little girl.... who also doesn't use it

I use this:

How can it even get to any vital organs to do any damage with such dismal penetration characteristics? If those slivers do reach anything important, how much damage can they do? It would be like someone stabbing your guts with a hatpin. Sure you will bleed but the wound channel is almost non existent. Look at the photos of the (non standard and apparently uncalibrated) gel block from their own video. Again, very dramatic popping balloons in slow motion, flesh and bone is another story entirely.

Not local but L&M Precision Gunworks did mine. Outstanding work, excellent communication, fair price. Mark is one of the best guys put there doing this. Couldn't be happier. http://www.landmprecisiongunworks.com

I would much prefer this from an aesthetic/instructional standpoint: http://www.superiorfirearmsllc.com/photo-gallery.html?view=album&album=5759918473376759377&page=1

I concur. Hot garbage, unsafe garbage at that. Also, there is a point of diminishing returns with weight savings on rifles. At some point while becoming less fatiguing to carry, it becomes fatiguing to shoot.

Also, try swapping the action springs or the entire upper and see if that reverses the issue between the guns. Sounds to me like your Spikes rifle may be good and the M&P may be having the issue.

Nope. The Apex Trigger (worth every penny) is completely different than the Skimmer Trigger (I call it the Scammer Trigger - No Glock will ever have a trigger like a 1911 no matter what Travis says). The two triggers are designed to do different things to different guns. And I agree with everything Griz stated. Especially the "Comforting vs. Comfortable" statement.

fingers are frozen and brain is drunk from the NY/NJ game.

It don't matter

Why would you want to? Total gimmick. Watch the vids. The bullet breaks into numerous slivers, each one minimal in mass and size. Hell, it has low mass to begin with, at a reported 95gr - it is a 9mm that is about equal to a .380 ACP. The small fragments appear to stop at a very superficial depth. In the video it looks like about 1/4 of the distance of the total 20" gel block... so say maybe 5" or so of penetration. Enough to hurt no doubt, but not enough to hit anything important. Finally, just a tiny piece of the bottom of the bullet - figure less mass than a .380 ACP - penetrates to any decent amount while making a very minimal permanent wound - it is essentially a .32 ACP ball round. Those little slivers would probably hurt like a son of a gun, and give a Dr at the ER a fit. While they wont increase the morale of anyone who has been shot with it, I don't think these projectiles will do much to quickly stop a determined attacker or increaese the rate of incapacitation over regular hollow points or even ball ammo - barring the proverbial "lucky shot". They offer absolutely no advantage over traditional hollow point ammo and in fact seem to me to be inferior in every way - Unless you want to pop balloons in a really cool way in slow motion... Then these totally rock! However, these rounds are excellent at their intended purpose - Making the company that developed these rich. At over $2.00 a round they will quickly drain your money from your wallet.

More like someone has been playing too much "Mass Effect" That's awesome! What a load of horse crap!

Wow, it must be a good product... They got Batman to narrate the video....

Look no further for a quality belt designed to fit in regular belt loops and support the weight of a pistol, reloads, and any ancillary equipment you want to carry. I have two of these, they make carrying a full size gun every day easier. I use them for training classes, competition, teaching, and lo-pro carry. http://www.aresgear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6

I bought a Ruger LCP right about when S&W released the Bodyguard. The LCP is ok I liked it well enough for what it is. Then I shot a friend's Bodyguard. That was a BIG mistake. I much prefer the Bodyguard... Better trigger, better sights, subjectively softer shooting, has a safety (nice feature in a pocket or AIWB carry gun)... Oh well...

If ever in a DPF encounter, we should all be so lucky!

^^^ This ^^^ Not a whole lot of aiming points on real world targets at any distance. You have to visualize your aiming point. Not many home invaders with a 1/2" neon circle over their hearts.

That was with 4x ACOG at 100 yards from a comfy prone position. When zeroing or when confirming zero with a RDS I use a 3"x3" Post-It note at 50 yards. Of I can get ten rounds on the Post-It, the rifle is zeroed. Other than that accuracy standards are a reflection of what you are doing: High Power Competition shooters will have an extremely different set of requirements for what they consider acceptable than a tactical shooter training for a gunfight. 5 shots from the prone in 1 minute at 100 yards is a different ball game than 5 standing, speed reload, 5 kneeling, speed reload, and 5 prone from the 50 yard line into a 6" circle in under 25 seconds. Accuracy means different things to different folks, and marksmanship is only a part of learning to fight with a gun.

The above AR, with a standard 16" mid-length BCM upper, Geissele SDE trigger (added after the photo was taken) and a TA01NSN ACOG shot this target: 10 rounds of service grade 64gr Fed TRU soft nose ammo at a fairly quick pace from 100 yards prone while confirming zero right after building it.

What does bore sighting have to do with marksmanship?

Meh.... R2A has it closer to what I was thinking but I guess the phaser does have less recoil
