You were the one that got me to look at Keltec again. I too, hated the PF9. Very painful at the range and mine kept dropping the mag every two or three rounds. But then you talked about how great the little P32 was, so I found me a used Gen 1. It's now my favorite pocket gun with ball loaded! Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

That's why I may go rent or borrow one to try out. Thanks for the advice though. I really appreciate yours and Garufu' input. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

They don't sound like the original M&P either, so I might be interested in a 2.0. And I have a Glock. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

A smooth take up, with a slight stack and a clean break. I can handle a long take up like on a Taurus PT111 Millennium G2, as long as it does what I like. The best trigger I found on a striker fire so far is on a FNH FNS and my Glock 17. They are about even. The worst was the M&P Compact. I'd compare It to a FEG copy of the Browning Hi-Power, I owned back in the early 90's. It was gritty and in no way smooth. The stack before it broke felt like it was hanging up, till you put a little extra effort into it. All the pistols I own or have owned, have been factory. I don't modify them in any way. I've had my Glock 17 since 1990. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Thanks! I guess I was guilty of reading the instructions. Boy, just went to the Smith & Wesson Forum to read about alternative disassembly of M&Ps. Don't go over there and tell them that you got passed flicking that little safety lever down, by dry firing the pistol! Apparently S&W installed that as a extra safety step to cut back on NDs. Glocks were disparaged because they don't have this step and people got shot when failing to check the chamber, before dry firing the pistol for disassembly.

So you don't have to flip the lever down or up whatever direction it called for in the disassembly instructions with some sort of pointy tool? That's a plus!!! Having cut my teeth with pistols on the 1911a1 in the military, having to have a tool to take down any weapon for basic maintenance just sorta irked me. Seriously, how is the trigger? I do not want to spend another $150 for another part to make a pistol perform the way it should, straight out of the box. I really want to like these pistols, since S&W is an American company, but once burned...

So S&W still hasn't fixed the trigger? :/ I purchased a Gen 1 Compact two years ago in .45ACP and was very disappointed. Not only with the trigger (the most horrid trigger I had ever experienced on a $400+ pistol), but with the pistol as a whole. It felt extremely clunky and unbalanced. Not to mention that it required a tool for take down; another negative for me. I tried my best to like it, but ultimately ended up trading it away two months later for an Springfield XDs .45 ACP (which I still have, shoot and carry). Accuracy was on par for a polymer striker fired pistol and it was reliable. Never had any issues with that at all (but just 200 rounds of mostly ball). Honestly, my experience with this pistol has kept me away from the Shield in any caliber.

I too, have always wanted one of the older .44 spl Bulldogs. But you don't see them much anymore. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Always wanted the Pistol Pak! Thanks for sharing!!!

Sigh... thanks guys for reminding that I still want one if these. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Wish other manufacturers would start following this trend of selling the pistol with three mags. And great point about holsters.

I have one of their Lock Back Trappers, great pocket knife. I'm not much into tactical these days, mostly because everyone else is. I also have a Copperhead that was given to be and which introduced me to the brand. It's also a great little knife. Later on, I added a locking Canoe. That's my fancy occasions knife. I always have a pocket knife on me. SMKW works has a great gun counter and they sale ammunition at really good prices. And Bud's Gun Shop and Range is just a block away (an easy walk) as is a very good Coleman Store, if you are into camping.

Seems to be a rich man's FNH FNS. Doubt it comes with a 3rd mag like the FNH does though and probably sells for a $100+ more. Doesn't excite me that much. I will just hang on to my FNH.

I guarantee you it will be worth your time to drive to Sevierville, to pick one of these knives up. They are cheap, but if you get to pick the exact one you want and are picky, they are good knives. But that's not the reason you want to drive to SMKWs. Trust me!

It was probably brought into the country as a .380. They were doing that for a while.

Neat, but oddly enough, I'm pretty happy with my Hi-Point 995TS. Not sure the Ruger is worth 3 times the cost of a Hi-Point. Yeah, I know I'm weird.

The 9 gets panned, but I've read good things about the .380.

Had both and prefer old Marlins. But it really is a personal choice.

Those price on the American Eagle and and the Hydro-Shoks also reflect 50 rounds vs 20 rounds I bet, As for this being more expensive than .357, I don't know about that. .357 seems to be about $30+ for a box of 50 around here.

Good morning! Had to weight in. We have three dogs and three cats. All our animals are considered senior now. All the cats are rescues and two of our dogs are, both seniors. We adopted our Choc. Lab almost three years ago and we estimate she is around 11 or so. Sweetest dog ever! Licks too much though. We got her from Young Williams. She had not been there long. We recently (July) adopted a 6 year old American Pit Bull Terrier from a Pit Bull rescue. He came out of Memphis. They got him last December. He was on a 50lb chain and weighed in at 43 lbs. Glad I wasn't the one that actually rescued him, because some one would have been put on the hospital. When we got him, he weighted in at 93lbs. We named him Casanova (actually call him Biggun) because of his disposition. He is a big couch potato, but does love to go outside and run and walk. You are his best friend of you are on one of the couches in our living room. He thinks he is a lap dog! Don't be scared to adopt one of the Bully Breeds. They can make great pets. If you go through a rescue, they will fully vet the animal. In our case, we had to have one that was dog and cat friendly. Pictured are Biggun and Ursa, our senior Choc. Lab. Biggun camping with us several weeks ago. Biggun pretending to be a lapdog. And Max, our senior Llasa Op Su (11). All three are lazy as can be. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

The best feeling in my hand is a Browning HP. The best shooting was the CZ-75. The best all around is my FNH FNS and my wife's Glock 17. Never owned a compact 9. For some reason I've always gravited to small .45 acps. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Yes I do. Usually a couple of dollars. Haven't used a Stylist since I was a teenager... along time ago. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

I have an FNS in 9mm. It's my favorite 9mm. Up until I bought this one it was a Glock 17 and Browning HP. And it doesn't need a tool for take down!!!

Here is the latest from the National Hurricane Center. Looks like Irma may come to Knoxville for Lunch!
