I’ve seen interesting reviews from owners on the SFx today. Posted 4 months, and 9 months ago in two separate spots both people said they almost got bored with always hitting the target dead center and grouping so tight because they kept shooting through the same hole in the target after a couple shots. Lol, interesting problem to have..... my M&P can’t say the same that’s for sure. I have however experienced pretty effortless shooting with it. My instructor at the enhanced permit class remarked on how quickly i ran through the mag. Most people took a while to shoot their 20 rounds at each marker point (3, 5, & 7 yds) partly due to their gun only holding a few rounds and partly cause half the class was new shooters. I was the only one that could shoot the whole stage with 1 mag and i ran through all three stages in under 4 mins. My entire range test took 5 mins total.

I never read any reviews on sale sites before buying i use YouTube to see real peoples results, then bore myself with amazon reviews after. I’m having a hard enough time dealing with the ebay seller that has a preship number pending for 5 days unshipped. I registered with ebay, paypal, etc the month they went live pre-2k. That old trick to delay ship doesn’t work for me. If the red dot doesn’t work the way I want I’ll just go to Bass Pro and grab a vortex - might anyway. I’m really just interested in seeing if this is the diamond in the rough. They do exist in every category where a company gets aspirations and wants to be a decent company but not pay the copyrights for the software.

For some reason the image that came to mind with the title was a shirt that said “I’m concealing” or has an arrow pointing to my hip with “gun” on it. Lol, now i need that shirt for the irony.

Tons of verified purchase reviews on it as well. https://amzn.com/reviews/B07H9HXHHK no idea because I don’t have it yet, but in a couple days I’ll be able to give impressions and i put 250-300 rnds a week in so it’ll get a workout. If it’s going to have issues I’ll find them.

I agree completely on MOST of the cheaper options. This is true in many fields of interest, not just sights or even guns. The same applies for welders, atvs, etc. I have found however there is always a diamond in the rough in every field that “just works” and does a good job. That’s what I’m hoping the ADE is based off the reviews. Here’s an example: https://www.gunmann.com/glock-red-dots/ On a budget? By now, you know that we’ve got you covered. Or more specifically, Ade Advanced Optics has your back with this completely weatherproof and shock and fog-resistant unit that goes the distance for anyone who needs quality without spending a lot. You won’t be sacrificing features here, either. You get a crisp five MOA dot and five illumination settings. This provides a clear picture in any lighting condition. Additionally, the lenses aren’t cheap—they offer precision grounding with no discernable parallax. You get full windage and elevation adjustments, which are lockable, and unlimited eye relief. There are no annoying trade-offs. The battery is loaded from the top and easy to access. Installation is straightforward and each part seems to be of consistently high quality, operating smoothly with the Glock during and after loading up. That said, this is a budget solution. It works beautifully for what it is, but you’re not getting an auto-off feature. Nor are you getting any particularly great enhancement to the picture beyond the adjustable lightness. It also will not automatically find the best lightness setting for you, as you will have to do it manually. In short, you’re sacrificing handholding for a unit that costs a fraction of what others do. We think that’s a more than fair offer. If you’re looking for a budget red dot sight that is still high-quality, durable, and weatherproof, Ade Advanced Optics agrees with us that you shouldn’t have to settle. Bottom Line For those on a budget, Ade Advanced Optics provides a red dot sight that maintains high quality standards and performance.

It’s just on this pin. Taps out.

It’s nothing special. I’ll show a pic of it next. Something interesting. Canik barrel Smith & Wesson barrel.

https://www.nraila.org/articles/20150101/guide-to-the-interstate-transportation JURISDICTIONS WITH SPECIAL RULES While FOPA applies in every United States jurisdiction, experience has shown that some jurisdictions provide particular challenges to those transporting firearms. Knowing the local laws of such places is particularly important and may make traveling through them easier. The following states are known to have especially strict and complicated gun control laws and travelers should consult the state laws directly, along with local law enforcement and states' attorneys general resources for detailed information. CALIFORNIA—California has extensive state and local regulatory schemes over firearms and ammunition. For more specific information, please contact the Department of Justice Firearms Bureau at (916) 263-4887, or at http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms HAWAII—Every person arriving into the state who brings a firearm of any description, usable or not, shall register the firearm within three days of the arrival of the person or the firearm, whichever arrives later, with the chief of police of the county where the person will reside, where their business is, or the person's place of sojourn. For more information, visit http://www.hawaiipolice.com/services/firearm-registration MASSACHUSETTS—Massachusetts imposes harsh penalties on the mere possession and transport of firearms unrelated to criminal or violent conduct. Prospective travelers are urged to contact the Massachusetts Firearms Records Bureau at (617)660-4780 or the State Police at http://www.mass.gov/msp/firearms/ for further information. NEW JERSEY—New Jersey has highly restrictive firearms laws. The New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that anyone traveling within the state is deemed to be aware of these regulations and will be held strictly accountable for violations. Revell v. Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, 10-236 From New Jersey State Police regarding transporting firearms through the state: http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/fire_trans.html NEW YORK—Use extreme caution when traveling through New York with firearms. New York state’s general approach is to make the possession of handguns and so-called “assault weapons” and “large capacity ammunition feeding devices” illegal and then provide exceptions that the accused may raise as “affirmative defenses” to prosecution in some cases. NY Penal Code s. 265.20(12), (13) & (16). A number of localities, including Albany, Buffalo, New York City, Rochester, Suffolk County, and Yonkers, impose their own requirements on the possession, registration, and transport of firearms. Possession of a handgun within New York City requires a New York City handgun license or a special permit from the city police commissioner validating a state license within the city. Even New York state licenses are generally not valid within New York City unless a specific exemption applies, such as when the New York City police commissioner has issued a special permit to the licensee or “the firearms covered by such license are being transported by the licensee in a locked container and the trip through the city of New York is continuous and uninterrupted.” Possession of a shotgun or rifle within New York City requires a permit, which is available to non-residents, and a certificate of registration. WASHINGTON, D.C.—Use extreme caution when traveling through Washington, DC with a firearm. The certificate requirement for possession of firearms and ammunition does not apply to non-residents who are “participating in any lawful recreational firearm-related activity within the District, or on [their] way to or from such activity in another jurisdiction.” To qualify for this exception, a person must, upon demand of a law enforcement officer, “exhibit proof that he is on his way to or from such activity” and that the person’s possession of the firearm is lawful in the person’s place of residence. The person must also be transporting the firearm from a place where the person may lawfully possess and carry it to another place where the person may lawfully possess and carry it, the firearm must be unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition may be readily or directly accessible from the automobile’s passenger compartment, or if the vehicle does not have a separate trunk, the firearm or ammunition must be kept in a locked container. CANADA Canada has very strict laws governing the transportation and possession of firearms. Please visit the U.S. Embassy in Canada's website for more information before traveling: http://canada.usembassy.gov/traveling_to_canada/bringing-weapons-into-canada.html Lawful use and possession of firearms in Canada requires the possessor to be licensed and the firearm to be registered. Nonresidents may meet these requirements in either of two ways. The first is to complete a Non-resident Firearm Declaration prior to arrival at the point of entry. Declarations are valid for 60 days but may be renewed free of charge before expiration. The second method is to apply for a five-year Canadian Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) and then, once the PAL is obtained, register the firearms in Canada. In addition, Canadian law establishes three broad classifications of firearms: “non-restricted,” “restricted,” and “prohibited.” A person may not enter Canada with prohibited firearms, which include: (1) a handgun with a barrel length of 105 mm (approximately 4.1 inches) or less; (2) a handgun capable of firing .25 or .32 caliber ammunition; (3) a rifle or shotgun that has been altered so that its barrel length is less than 457 mm (approximately 18 inches) or its overall length is less than 660 mm (approximately 26 inches); (5) automatic firearms (including those converted to fire only as semiautomatics); and (6) certain firearms specified by model (and their variants), including AR-15s (as well as .22 rimfire clones), AKs, various semi-automatic shotguns, Intratec TEC-DC9s, UZIs, Steyr AUGs, FN-FALs, and numerous others. Also prohibited is the importation of so-called “large capacity magazines,” which generally means any magazine for a semiautomatic centerfire rifle that holds more than five rounds or any magazine for a handgun that holds more than 10 rounds. Restricted firearms include any non-prohibited handgun; a non-prohibited centerfire rifle with a barrel of less than 470 mm (approximately 18.5 inches); a firearm that can be fired after being folded, collapsed, or otherwise reduced to a length of less than 660 mm (approximately 26 inches); and other models designated by law. These require an Authorization to Transport (ATT) in addition to the Non-resident Firearm Declaration or PAL. Limited amounts of ammunition may be imported. All firearms must be transported unloaded. Non-restricted firearms left unattended in a vehicle should be locked in the vehicle’s trunk, or if the vehicle does not have a trunk, locked out of sight in the vehicle’s interior. Restricted firearms must be rendered inoperable during transport by a secure locking device or locked within an opaque container that cannot readily or accidentally be broken open during travel. Canadian officials recommend using both of these measures for restricted firearms, as well as removing the bolt or bolt carrier, if applicable. Information and forms governing all of these requirements may be obtained from the Canadian Firearm Program (CFP) website at http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/index-eng.htm or by contacting the CFP at 1-800-731-4000. MEXICO Mexico severely restricts the importation of firearms and ammunition, and violations are likely to result in harsh punishment. The United States Department of State and Mexican tourism officials have strongly cautioned U.S. citizens visiting Mexico to leave their firearms at home. http://tijuana.usconsulate.gov/tijuana/warning.html Limited exceptions apply for the purpose of hunting. Because foreign hunters in Mexico must be accompanied by a licensed Mexican hunting guide, anyone planning to hunt in Mexico should contact his or her outfitter for information on import requirements. UNITED STATES RESIDENTS RETURNING TO THE U.S. Importation of firearms or ammunition into the United States requires a permit from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives unless the traveler can demonstrate that the firearms or ammunition were previously possessed in the United States. One way to do this is by completing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Form 4457 with your local CBP office before leaving the United States. A bill of sale or receipt showing transfer of the items to the traveler in the United States may also be used. Note: In the United States you have constitutional protections both against unreasonable searches and seizures and against compelled self-incrimination. Although the authorities may search anywhere within your reach without a search warrant after a valid stop, they may not open and search closed luggage without probable cause to believe evidence of a crime will be found, particularly when it is in a locked storage area or trunk of a vehicle, unless you consent. You have a right not to consent. Furthermore, although you may be required to identify yourself and produce a driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of automobile insurance, you have a right to remain silent.

That’s the champion trigger? I was looking at a fat daddy, but was curious about that one. I want a good purchase on the side of the trigger because i barely reach it and the cuts on those made it look slippery so i wasn't Sure about them. Did you do the install? It looked like something that could be done with the right punches.

Best shooting experience I’ve ever had hands down. Love this SFx.

Supposedly the ade -2 version is an improvement over the original and now the question is....... worth $70? I hate to throw money away, but for average joe who will only shoot in the back yard is this going to be “good enough” for a budget optic? Anyone have experience with it?

The current TP9 base is still roughly $150-200 less than the SFx so that’s on par for the base model. I definitely wish i had been interested in a lower price one, but i saw the SFx and had to have it. Lol. Pay to play i guess.

Definitely true. I got this one for $450 total new and i was happy to do so. PSA currently wants retail which is $579. clickable thumbs.

Hands down my favorite gun. 1/16th of an inch trigger reset, 3.5 lb trigger, Mec-Gar mags, match barrel, ported, serrated, milled, Cerkote, rail, Warren Tactical FO sights, 60,000 round barrel, ISO9000, never ending list......

Not sure why it put 46, i was using Siri and i quit trying to understand what she does years ago.

I went with the 26 and couldn't have been happier even if it came with free ammo. I’ve never found “me” in any of my Smiths and a few other attempts at manufacturers. Didn’t particularly shoot the 17 or 19 well, nor like them. Walked into the gun store one day and picked up a 26 and “knew” immediately.

Here’s the front sight and what was messing me up. From the side the radius is a half moon, but it has the stepped ramp cut into the back half.

Nothing on the star. (Front or back) edit: the smith revolver gurus seem to think the gun is what it should be so I’m still content with it being a 1979 (because of low number after D) 10-7 4”

thats the number on bottom of the handle frame though. There is another number that keeps appearing on the inside of the wheel hinge, gun body, and frame handle that is 65,xxx which would be 1956. I’m confuzzled. Lol

They say pachmayr on them. the barrel on this is coned. Thick base, skinny towards the tip. That along with the sights are different from a 1980 model i see on the net so it’s still weird to me, but if the serial says 1980, i guess thats what we go with. All the ones i see that are newer have a barrel that is equal thickness tip to base and ramped sights. Also, the logo is on the left of the new ones and the right of the old ones. Mine is on the right.

The part that matters most is like new

Well that’s from the model 10 wiki I’ve read before so that's good news for me if it's an 80

Thanks all. I’m satisfied in it being a model 10-7 1980. The ctg confused me because of things I’d found in searching before. All is well then. I’m stripping and blueing the gun. The finish has some chips and it’s not going anywhere so i can water color it if i want. Lol

Ok i was hoping it was the later one because they can handle +p+
