I think you are safe for a little while. The CZ is on my list also but I bumped it down in "desirability" after CZ delayed shipment of them to the States until late April. And that is assuming they don't delay them again, too.

Well the thing is, I was pretty sure I wouldn't be going back. While I liked my M&P 40, 45 and Shield just fine, for some reason none of our full-size M&P 9's ever really grew on me. I should probably add that the new M2.0 has a 1:10 twist rate which really helps the accuracy of the thing as well, and that was a problem I had with some ammo and the "Gen 1" 9mm. I was really, really surprised at how much I like the M2.0

Yeah, I get that. I'll add it to the list of things to try and fix. I think MacGyver's theory is the most likely. This probably got jacked up during an upgrade.

I'm intrigued by how important this feature seems to be.

When you're wrong, you're wrong... I bought my first M&P back when Smith and Wesson introduced them in 2005. It was my M&P 40 and I still have it. I was shopping for a Glock 23 when the S&W rep who was visiting Guns & Leather handed me one and asked if I had considered their new plastic-fantastic. I left with not only it but also an M&P 40 compact, and soon after added an M&P 9 compact, an M&P 9 full size, an M&P 9 Julie Goloski edition for my wife, an M&P 45 Mid-Size, and an M&P Shield 9mm. To say that I have had my share of M&Ps is maybe a slight understatement and I definitely wouldn't consider myself a Johnny Come Lately to the ownership circle given the timeline. For at least 6-8 years, my M&P 40 was my every day carry but it was eventually replaced with a Glock 19 for reasons that most of us have probably given at one point or another. "For the sake of change" is probably the most honest answer I can give anyone, but I had an assortment of other reasons waiting in the wings if I was pressed on it. Besides, the Glock 19 is arguably a very reliable and functional gun. But so is my M&P 40. Fast forward to late 2016 and the new M&P M2.0 was announced by Smith and Wesson. I admit it. I yawned. I scoffed. I publicly stated that I saw little about it that would motivate me to go back to an M&P 9mm after having had a relatively bad experience with the full-size M&P 9 that I had owned before. I was wrong. Last weekend I had the chance to shoot one. It felt better in the hand thanks to the aggressive stippling that S&W has applied to the frame and palm swells. The beaver tail was gone and suddenly it was even closer in length to my Glock 19 than the previous offerings and it felt better riding inside of my TT Gunleather inside the waistband holster without the frame protrusion digging into my chiseled, well-muscled midsection. The frame was less "flexy" at the front of the slide thanks to the change in design that extended the metal skeleton all the way forward. The front cocking serrations weren't all that big of a deal, but they weren't ridiculously ineffective either. They didn't sway me either way, but they did add a bit of flair to the expanse of boring metal forward of the ejection slot. But the trigger. Damn them, the trigger was better than I anticipated. It was smooth and clean right up to an abrupt wall, then it broke crisply and without grit. The reset was firm, tactile and audible, and the reset travel was maybe 3/16 of an inch from the terminus to reset, measured at the bottom tip of the trigger itself. The reset still isn't as forceful as a Glock 19 with OEM connector and trigger return spring, but it is right on par with the feel of a reset from a Sig P320. It honestly feels better than any Apex'd M&P that I have owned or fired. So what does a guy do when he's as wrong about a firearm as I was? Yep.

I'm glad that TGO was able to help!

Very sorry to hear of your father's passing. Thank you for feeling at-home with us enough to share, and thank you again for sharing photos of that beautiful 1911. What a fantastic heirloom, packed with decades of memories and tradition. I hope that it brings you infinitely more enjoyment than any tinges of sorrow, and reminds you most of the good times together.

There's always that chance. The only way to fall into the trap is to NOT do it through an FFL.

Welcome!

People will spend their money on anything, I guess. If I am going to spray crap in my holster to "make my draw faster" I'm going to use Bacon Infused Olive Oil because it's better for the environment and if hunger strikes me while I'm in the middle of some serious Pew Pew action, I can eat my leather holster.

Fantastic!!! Glad you like it.

If they aren't an FFL, I would use an escrow service.

I have an MGW Pro sight press and a myriad of handgun-specific "shoes" for it. I don't mind doing sight installs for people but meeting up with me on my schedule can be incredibly difficult, which is why I don't volunteer for it very often.

Sure. My favorite is still my Glock 19 but that's because I am insanely pragmatic when it comes to this. I have a slew of others that I am very fond of, enjoy shooting, and even have all of the necessary "carry gear" for, but the gun that I carry the most is the one that I love the most because of its simplicity, reliability, size and capacity. It won't win any beauty contests, but that's not its purpose. You take Mike Tyson to a fight, not Gisele Bündchen.

I'm not seeing any emails. I will send you a PM.

Additional information of interest to Unlicensed Persons (those not possessing a Federal Firearms License) as provided by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) may currently be found at the following link: https://www.atf.gov/qa-category/unlicensed-persons#shipping-firearms-carrier

Be Aware: A person not licensed under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and not prohibited from acquiring firearms may order a firearm from an out-of-state source and obtain the firearm if an arrangement is made with a licensed dealer in the purchaser's state of residence for the purchaser to obtain the firearm from the dealer. [18 U.S.C 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 178.29] The ATF's Code of Federal Regulations, Part 178 - Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition is available at the following link: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2000-title27-vol1/pdf/CFR-2000-title27-vol1-part178.pdf What This Means: Essentially this means that it is legal for private parties residing in different US States to engage in the private transaction of a firearm, but only if the transfer is done through a licensed dealer (FFL) in the purchaser's state of residence. The FFL in the purchaser's state will be responsible for receiving shipment of the firearm and facilitating the background check and fulfilling all other legal requirements applicable in the purchaser's state before allowing the firearm to transfer to the purchaser. It also means that a seller in one state cannot legally ship or otherwise convey or transfer ownership of a firearm to a recipient in another state without going through a licensed dealer (FFL). Bypassing this process would be in violation the Federal Gun Control Act. There are many ways available on the Internet to locate a licensed dealer (FFL) in the United States, easily obtained by using an Internet search engine, such as Google. One such source might be https://fflgundealers.net/. Our Opinion: Our opinion is that a person selling on TGO to an out-of-state individual should enter into that transaction with extreme caution and ensure that Federal and State laws are being followed to the letter. While interstate Private Party sales are possible and in some instances make sense, we would recommend trying to limit your sales to in-state buyers for the sake of simplicity. Consider that there are various ways that an interstate transfer could potentially "go wrong" and weigh your risks against the potential gains.

Another vote for SmugMug. I've been using them for about 9 years now and can't imagine not using them.

Sorry but that's not possible. It's not the way the software is designed.

Posted earlier today.

That is very cool. I would imagine that a lot of shoppers would have passed it over because of how it looks but, as you pointed out, that is perhaps the one thing about it that makes it so very unique.

Well, some good does come from Tapatalk after all if that's how you found us. I am not sure what the deal is with it not showing pictures and such. I'll email the developers and see if they offer any support this time around.

Just testing this out. Might see about adding it to TGO officially. Feel free to give it a spin, but be warned that the statements made within may be unfiltered and may express views and opinions that are not necessarily those of Tennessee Gun Owners, the Owner or Staff of TGO or their respective employers, etc. https://discord.gg/MFjNhue I'll be hanging out in it some this evening.

I may have just figured out how to kill that.
