    The symptons of the new gun addiction

    That's very good, but not perfect advice. It has mostly worked for me over time, except for when it was determined that a second one was needed. (two is one and one is none, you see...) I reached 70 this year and decided it was time for a bit of catharsis and to downsize, especially on items...

    The Ruger Mini 14 Pencil Barrel?

    Thank you! Yeah, I'm going to have a smith install mine, and the gas block too. And thinks for the reply on the music!

    The Ruger Mini 14 Pencil Barrel?

    KAME B. Absolutely love your Mini. I also have an older 187 series Mini that's 27 years old that I love but just a few days ago found a 580 series thicker barrel on eBay with the 1-9 twist rather than the 187 1-7 twist and decided to go with it. The cost was negligible and thought it would give...

    New respect for 147-grain 9mm?

    tipoc, a lot of insight in that post. Thanks for posting it. Makes Chuck Hawks obsolete.

    Ruger SR9c troubles

    I'm interested in your results. I have one of these but have had no problems as of yet. I've been thinking about removing the mag disconnect anyway, as I've done in other pistols.

    New respect for 147-grain 9mm?

    This caliber comparison image taken from one of the videos I posted links to earlier is quite telling -

    New respect for 147-grain 9mm?

    That would depend upon a number of other factors. But the FBI is not going back to the revolver. Neither am I. (although I still have them)

    New respect for 147-grain 9mm?

    Probably a good orientation for anyone still a bit out of touch are these two videos. They are very well explained - The FBI Returning to 9mm Ammo - Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy71umadb6k The FBI Returning to 9mm Ammo - Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNfuF3JYWM8

    New respect for 147-grain 9mm?

    I thought to myself, that maybe it could be possible but after having read so much of Chuck Hawks' stuff back in the early years, it seemed a bridge too far and such a hopeless case. But I guess anyone is capable of change, even if they sounded so biased and in a deep, rigid rut with such...

    M&P9c mag disconnect removal/re-installation

    BTW, there are videos that show how to remove them. It would be just the reverse to install it.

    M&P9c mag disconnect removal/re-installation

    I have a full size California M&P9 from which I removed the disconnect. I have both the spring and lever. I also have an AZ M&P9c without the disconnect and have changed the sear in both of these and the internals look about the same to me. Your location "CAAZ" appears to be CA and AZ? I'm...

    Would you even bother trying to sell this?

    That is camera wide-angle-lens barrel distortion. The camera is set on wide angle and when taking close-ups with a wide angle, it will distort by making straight lines near the edges appear curved. He could put a straight-edge ruler along the top and retake the photo and the ruler would appear...

    LC9S Owners....... What's the word?

    I sold the LC9 and bought the LC9s because the trigger was so much better... at least while dry-firing it. One unusual thing that I've run into is the trigger safety causes the pad of my index finger to become sore and painful after a few magazines of live ammo. I've never had this happen...

    9mm "too small" .40 "too snappy", has there ever been a .375 pistol caliber?

    Come on! Is this just a troll? Are the moderators surreptitiously doing this just so they can have something shut down again? They're still pistol bullets. If you need something better, get a rifle or shotgun.

    Review of the Taurus Millennium G2 PT111

    Great review. Thanks for that! I just picked up one of these about a week ago. Didn't do as well on price but it seemed really good at the time. Got it for $239.99, which was way better than anything else I had seen at the time. I have M&Ps (9s and 45s) and some Rugers in 9s and really like...

    What's Wrong with Magazine Disconnects?

    I'm probably going to take on a little more strident view than anything I've read so far in this thread. I've been removing magazine safeties from any firearm I've had since the mid 1980s. And will continue to do so. It is a distinctly stupid idea and comes from the likes of the state of...

    Demand for High Capacity S&W Shield Magazines?

    I fully understand the predicament. Been there. But the perception might exist that these were all purchased in a short amount of time and that is certainly not the case. I am by no means rich. I have had the advantage of time and over many decades have picked up items at bargain prices that I...

    Demand for High Capacity S&W Shield Magazines?

    And if I could only have one, the SR9c would not make me unhappy at all. I'm in agreement about the trigger on the SR9c. It's definitely the best of the lot. (Edit - I meant the best of my lot. I haven't fired the Glock 19 of the SA XD, but I can imagine that the SR9c would be some tough...

    Demand for High Capacity S&W Shield Magazines?

    Excellent! ^^^^^ I do love my SR9c. I do love my M&P 9 Shield. I do love my M&P 9 (& .45) full sizes. I even do love my older S&W 669 (12 rounds). I also do love my LC9s. I think shortly I'm gonna love me some M&P 9c. This approach takes the decision away the forum and puts it right in front...
