    Free Download - Extensive Gun/Reloading Reference

    Is this program still being worked on? I went to his site and saw some posts in the forum, but don't know for sure. Thought someone might know him or heard somewhere else. Thanks.

    What's the lowest-recoil 9mm pistol?

    Inebriated good point for the OP; I also got to shoot the G17 Gen4 April 1st and while the ergos changed a little bit, I think it was much more comfortable than my G23 Gen3. Granted a full size should be better anyways, but the new Gen4 feels much better in my hands though. Mine however had a...

    What's the lowest-recoil 9mm pistol?

    I owned a G23 (.40) so that doesn't count, way too snappy and painful for me, even 9 years ago. After that I owned the XDM9 full size and that was a too high of a bore axis, although it felt good in my hands, still a good gun. The M&P9L I bought after I sold the XDM9 and it has less felt...

    Gun training in the Twin Cities, Minnesota

    10-12 years ago at Bills in Robinsdale I took a 1 on 1 course since I just got my Glock G23 (.40). He was very good I thought, I shot really well after that for a little bit. Then more physical problems and never shot the G23 for 4-5 years before I sold it for a 9mm. Much easier on me. Hope...

    Official News From Apex Tactical on the M&P Shield - Good News

    I also HATE the M&P standard triggers. I shot mfg reps M&P9 FS and M&P9C and they were good, but they had 4k or 8k+ on them maybe. When I got my new M&P9L last year it was very gritty, got it a few weeks to a month after I shot those mfg reps guns and it was very noticeable. However when I...

    S&W M&P's new single stack?

    I don't know about the Shield. I do know that you can remove the thumb safety on the other regular M&P's and have it function just fine. I'd assume they'd offer it without from the factory at some point though.

    USED XDm .45 4.5 inch for $749? You've got to be kidding me!

    $749, just WOW. I thought I read in the local paper 2-4 months ago that Gander sells the most guns of anyone in the whole country. The times I've been in there, I just don't see how. Last time was 5 months ago or so, barely looked though. Just glanced after doing that V Sim 300, which...

    22lr Semi-Auto

    I own a Buckmark URX with front fiber that I bought new at the end of 2010. It looks exactly like ForumSurfer's pic. I tried the Hegis flip which works good. I'd say if you want a Glock type angle and shoot those then go with the Ruger's. If you want a typical grip angle; M&P, Sigs...

    Wanting to start shooting IDPA, need help

    If you still wanted to get a couple extra OEM mags. Botach Tactical has them for $21.98 with SH, they had them on sale a little bit ago for $18.95 w-SH. I hope you have fun. I love my M&P9L, should of gotten the full size M&P9 though. Was thinking I'd do IDPA with it, but then got to...

    The perfect Christmas gift? Firearms

    This was posted on StarTribune in Minneapolis and updated 11-17-11: The perfect Christmas gift? Firearms This has to do with some people being able to go in front of a judge and get their 2nd Amendment Rights back. It is written as very anti-gun. ….. They might get angry they didn't...

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    These are just my personal tastes. Now if I got a very, very good price on most of the ones below (except NEOS and Sigma) and had the extra cash I’d buy it to try it out for a while and then sell it (over .45 handguns maybe shoot 1-2 rounds and be done though, have very bad neck and hands)...

    Best 9mm for IPSC/USPSA

    I'd also check out Brian Enos forums. I love this site, but that site is really all about competitive shooting. Just make sure if you start a post you post here and there.

    Bills GS&R Robbinsdale MN_This Sat._Shooting M&P9L with Apex FSS & Trigger Kit

    Formula94; I did the Pro V Sim 300 at Gander in Lakeville, I really liked it. Yeah $25 for an hour is a lot of money. My friend and I went in together at Bills GS&R on the 20 tokens for $250 + tax, so $12.50 + tax, but we actually got 21 tokens for that price. Don't know how long they plan on...
