Re: shield 9mm failure to eject

You don't have to clean a new Glock. They expect you to go shoot it right away. You do have to clean the S&W. I bought a 9mm M&P Shield and cleaned it before firing. I've never had a failure with it with any ammo. It shoots well enough. I just bought it because it's small. I still usually c...

Re: Who carries their gun with a full mag +1?

Yes I do carry max capacity... as long as the pistol has proven reliable in that configuration.

Re: Shooting on the Move

Hey Redhat, Did I answer your question? If not let me know and I will try to provide a better answer. If I were a novice, I would practice the basics. I have only recently started to add shooting on the move to my skill set and I'm lousy at it and that is why I posted. Got some good advice which I ...

Re: Shooting on the Move

Hi all, It appears there are some assumptions about the nature of my question. I have nothing against shooting and movement. I was asking for clarification from the OP on what he hopes to accomplish. At the basic level I have to be honest about my ability. Can I shoot and move fast and accurately en...

Re: Shooting on the Move

This video captures my incompetence during multiple attempts to shoot on the move. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how I could improve. Keep in mind that I'm an age 72 fat guy so what may be easy for you youngsters is not so for me. A little late I know, but I would ask what you ho...

Re: Oil or Grease

For grease, I like TW25B. Always worked very well for me.

Re: Looking for South Texas CCW Advice

You did not mention the M&P Shield . It is the single-stack brother of the M&P compact. It comes in 9 or 40. Depending on your hand size you may or may not be able to get your pinky on the standard magazine. My pinky lands about halfway on. They have a longer magazine with 8 rounds that my ...

Took a look at one and aside from the grip being too thin, I can't get past that backwards magazine floor plate.

Re: Looking for South Texas CCW Advice

Thanks,

I have no interest in Kahrs (or any other 40 S&W) for my needs. I think 9mm is the way to go.

Re: Looking for South Texas CCW Advice

Have you tried an Alien Gear holster? I have one for my G19 after a brief break in period it is very comfortable. They offer a 30 day trial if you don't like it send it back. I don't have any trouble concealing my G19, M&Ps (both full size and compact) the real secret is a good belt and a good ...

Re: Looking for South Texas CCW Advice

Thanks,

Looking for South Texas CCW Advice

Hi all, I have finally scheduled my CCW class and would like some advice on a good CCW handgun for the South Texas climate where cover garments most of the year will be pull-over shirts. I currently have a Glock 19 but after testing several holsters, I don't think it's going to meet my needs so I ha...
