I have four Glocks, only one a G21 Gen4, other three are Gen3. I too want a G19 Gen4, but do not want to part with other Glocks. Why not add conversion grip to use G23 mag in G27. Then watch for G19. You cann't have too many Glocks.

I transfered my Ohio conceal carry to TN about 2 yrs ago, as I got my TN driver's license. I received TN CP in about 6 weeks in the mail.

Make sure grip fits your hand, if a G30 Sf it's grip would be smaller in circumference. If ns are bright and 6 mags not bad, but $500 closer to value.

My G21 Gen4 with no backstraps feels like 21 SF circumference to me. All previous G21's were too big in circumference.

I have had Sig 226's and still have a HK P30. That should say which gun I like best. The P30 is lighter and is a very accurate weapon with good mag capacity. The P30 with night sights and a rail light is my house gun. I too like DA/SA.

My aunt has this side by side double trigger and dual hammer shotgun, 30" barrel. Side plate shows " RICHARDS BELGUIM". Pictures below. I assume it is 12 gauge, no marking. I would appreciate any information on gun and its value if any. It is in pretty good shape for an 1893 proof. It will most likely be a wall hanger.

I missed it, maybe can catch next week. Preview looked good.

Welcome to middle TN, I had been away for 40 yrs and returned in 2010. Plenty of flat land in this area. I have a 25 and 100 yd range on my 7 acres in the woods.

Cheaper than Dirt has the Apex DCAEK kit at $72.64 + $6.73 shipping, $18 cheaper than manufacturer's price (Apex Tactical). I installed kit and trigger is greatly improved with no gritty feeling.

Yes I miss those old flea markets, those were the days. I bought a Webley 38 for $15. To many gunshow dealers with prices 10-30% higher than retail stores.

The Ruger Mark II or III would be hard to beat. There are alot of used guns in both models for under $400. They are very accurate and reliable. The only thing it takes some pactice in re-assembling. Good luck with your choice.

I want to install a front night sight on my 45c. I am thinking about XS big dot. What is a good sight for conceal carry and self defense, close range 10 yds or less?

I cleaned 45c real good, for previous owner must have never cleaned it. I installed an Apex DCAEK kit and then fired 50rounds in an asortment of 185g and 230g rounds, all fed well. 185g were centered and more accurate at 10 yds.

I installed the DCAEK kit this morning. It took maybe 30 minutes. I also cleaned parts and inside housing. The sear installation into sear housing took some manuevering. The sear deactivation lever kept closing. After final installation of sear block into frame and slide reassembly, the trigger would not pull. I had to wiggle with a little force the sear deactivation lever to get it to lower. I then reinserted mag, cocked slide then tried trigger again and it worked fine. Trigger pull is alot shorter, smoother and lighter. l shot 50 rounds of assorted 230 and 185g bullets to make sure everthing works and all went well. Sear deactivation lever has to be pushed to right and then down to lower when I disassemble for cleaning. Trigger worked correctly when gun reasembled.

Thanks again, I was able to download/print the 2006 version.

Where can you get a copy of the SW M&P Armorer's manual? I am wanting disassembly/assembly instructions in a written/picture format. I am aware of videos on internet but want a written hard copy. Something to have at my work-bench. Thanks for any help.

I watched their videos today and will probably have to review them again when kit arrives. thanks again.

mikegideon thanks, you saved me $18. I ordered just now. Next I will have to install in 7-10 days, when delivered.

I checked the Apex Tactical website. Their DCAEK kit is $89.95 + $7.50 shipping, $97.45 total. Is the complete kit needed? Apex harden sear is $39.95 and US Block is $34.95, $74.90 + $7.50 shipping, $82.40 total. Do you really need the spring kit? Does anyone else supply these parts more economically?

I just acquired a S&W M&P, my first. What type of drop-ins are available for 45compact to improve the trigger which is not smooth and about 8 lbs? In my glocks I install a 3.5 lb disconnector and a New York spring which gives be 6 lb smoother trigger pull. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes shooting reloads 185g bullet at 940 fps and occasionally round hangs at angle with bullet tip tip top of barrel opening. 230g hard ball Blazers does not do this. My glocks will feed this round. I'm going to try 185g Reminington Golden Saber to see if their bullet shape works. This is my SD round in my Glocks 21 and 36.

PM9 in a UBG IWB holster at 4:00 or in a pocket holster or LCR 357 in pocket holster or car door.

I just traded for my first M&P 45c. Very accurate with both 185/ 230 grain bullets. Some feeding problems with 185g. Bullet would hang toward top of barrel. This is a Berry plated truncated bullet. I have owned mostly subcompact glocks in this caliber and they feed this 185g okay. I like trigger pull and small grip fits my hand, feels better than G36 and G30. I am a little concerned with length of 4" barrel in concealled carry. What have been your shooting and carry experiences with the M&P 45c?

That is a good looking holster, is it comfortable? I prefer IWB at around 4:00.

I've heard they have a good gunshow. I've never been there, but thinking about going on Saturday morning. Others say alot of individuals/soliders are trading/selling guns. I'm always looking for a good deal! I do need some reloading supplies too.
