  1. For a carry gun, if you go with the M&P, I would put in the Apex Duty Kit. I would advise against any lighter trigger pull. That's what I use in my Pro for IDPA. Just have the standard trigger set up in the other.......if you do wind up using your gun for SD, less explaining to do.
  2. I have a XD in 9 and 45.....2 M&P in 9, one is the Pro. Both are fine guns. The M&P is a little slimmer and most corners rounded. IMO would make a better EDC, plus is made here in the USA. Both shoot equally well. I do like the grip safety though on the XD. The M&P can be had with or without a thumb safety. You won't go wrong with either, just your preference.
  3. Shooting any gun of any caliber one session means nothing, especially in a HCP class. This is not the place to 'test' what gun you are going to carry. The whole process is mostly a joke........the class no more makes one an able, responsible gun-toting citizen anymore than it makes one an attorney practicing gun law.
  4. Probably does not matter to most folks anyway. This one trip will comprise the majority of the shooting they do for the year....or possibly ever.
  5. If all the business owners think that 'no guns allowed' is effective, why don't retail businesses just put up "NO SHOP LIFTING ALLOWED"
  6. Talk about needing gun control. The NYPD is a 'caution'. Personally, I prefer myself to 911. http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20120907/US.Bronx.Robbery.Fatal.Shooting/
  7. nope, wouldn't sell reloads just because of Murphy's Law. But I might sell them a gun and throw in the ammo. Selling price is negotiable.
  8. There is a difference in buyers. Most on this forum have been around guns, bought and sold many guns. We are always looking for a new gun......whether we need one or not. And we will shop for the best price on-line or locally. Sometimes buying one just out of loyalty to the local gun shop. But the majority of guns are sold, IMO, to the impulse and/or unknowing guy or gal, especially those who know little and have shot little. Want proof, just hang out at the local Gander Mountain and see how many guns they sell at sky high pricing.
  9. Or for reman try : http://www.mastercast.net/mastercast.net/Remanufactured_Ammo_Retail_Sales.html
  10. I've always said if someone does not care about breaking God's law, why would they care about breaking man's law?
  11. Luke, I had the same question several years ago. My research and now my opinion is that you don't need to worry about it. The most common problem, and that is rare, is a broken extractor and that is most likely from a sticky case. With that said, I think most of that comes from a dirty chamber which is more likely with the steel cased/cheaper ammo. Just clean your gun routinely and fire away.
  12. Citizens Personal Revenue or our tax dollars are keeping them afloat http://pushbacknow.net/2012/07/12/79-of-gms-sales-last-month-was-government-purchased/
  13. times 2 Walk before you run. Just another reason to get proper instruction. Don't practice poor technique, and if you haven't been shown, it is hard to practice correctly. There is a saying that slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. You will meet some good folks at an IDPA match. Ask around for help, ask others who the right person is to help you. A lot of help is available just for the asking.
  14. Would be more appropriate for violent sex offenders, mass murderers, terrorists....etc.
  15. I have taken a class with Randy. He is an excellent teacher AND marksman. He will certainly get you started correctly. There are many techniques, and no one class is going to be THE answer, but you can trust Randy to get you started correctly.
  16. FYI, Pre-Paid legal is a good product. I have sold it for the past 6 yrs. I also have it. The best thing about it is that you have 24 hour access to attorneys with a 1-800 call. Is your attorney always available, even when on vacation. What about if you are in another state? In TN, it is ran by a very large law firm with attorneys experienced in all the various fields of law. They also have affiliates in about every state. It is certainly a good emergency resource, plus useful in other personal aspects. (ever get a speeding ticket?) Be glad to share more if you have questions. Just drop me a PM
  17. A new shooter will certainly get their money's worth with a trip to Front Sight out in Las Vegas. A lifetime membership can be had for $500 or less, with access to every course they offer. Good technique/habits initially will keep you from having to 'unlearn' bad ones later.
  18. It is not hard to believe the support. Everytime gay marriage is on the ballot it loses. It is simply the majority exercising their viewpoint and supporting a business that believes the same way. Nothing wrong with standing by your principles. Not hard to believe Chicago and Chick-Fil-A would have differing viewpoints.
  19. I've loaded a bunch of 124 gr Montanta gold HP. Shoot a M&P, works fine for paper and steel. Rather soft load with 4.7gr. WSF. COL 1.030
  20. His marketing may be controversial, but no one supports the 2nd Admendment more vigorously than the developer of Front Sight........and I like his position that follows: Dr. Ignatius Piazza Friday, July 27, 2012 I have the answer to the insanity of Gun Free Zones and I am putting my money where my mouth is by paying the legal fees of the first victim to file a very specific lawsuit against the Cinemark Movie Theater chain that denied responsible citizens their right to carry a concealed weapon to defend themselves against the murderous rampage of a deranged killer. AND Wednesday, July 25, 2012 I am dedicating this week to the victims of Aurora, Colorado Cinemark Theater mass murders by exposing the insanity of "Gun Free Zones" and calling ALL elected officials, opinion leaders, celebrities, and businesses who support the insanity of gun control exactly what they are... accomplices to mass murder! I know that sounds harsh, but someone has to speak up loud enough to be heard over the cries from those who perpetuate the unilateral disarmament of responsible citizens, giving criminals, terrorists, and the deranged ZERO resistance to carry out their assaults, rapes, murders and massacres. Sane Americans, even non gun-owning Americans are no longer buying the anti-gun BS coming out of the usual suspects in Washington DC and the media. Anyone can see, due to so many real world examples that are readily available on the Internet, that when you have an armed, trained, responsible citizen in a public place EVERYONE IS SAFER and such murderous rampages as have occurred countless times in "Gun Free Zones" just can't happen.
  21. Gander always 'likes' their stuff a lot better than I do. Shop around.
  22. Use a 10cc syringe, 18ga needle. cut the neele with wire cutters, take needle nose pliers to 'squeeze' the crimp out of the needle. Fill syringe with lubriplate.......good to go. Can do the same thing with Mobil 1.
