Taking care of problems, one explosion at a time.

Nice. I have an M&P 9L with Apex DCAEK. An amazing trigger improvement. I like the M&P line a lot. Note that they're currently on sale at Palmetto State Armory, most of the models (if left in stock) for over $100 off.

Be aware that there are some reported accuracy problems with the FS and long-slide M&Ps. Thought to possibly be mis-timing of the locking block causing the barrel to lock up inconsistently. The symptoms show up at 25 yard shooting. One ought to be able to hold a combat handgun shot from sandbags or other rest and get 3 inch groups at that distance. Affected M&Ps will typically shoot 6 inch groups. One looming solution (so far) has been adding a Storm Lake barrel that's hand fitted. Cost is about $200 including the hand fitting. The other solution is still in the works - a revised locking block from Apex Tactical. Early testing has consistently shown either of these solutions to make the gun capable of 1 inch groups from 25 yards.

One could easily shrug this off as being one of the vagaries of a combat handgun. I mean, who cares if it shoots 6 inch groups at 25 yards? Most people will rarely shoot if farther away than 10 yards. OTOH, I like a nice accurate handgun. Fortunately, my M&P doesn't appear to be affected as I am able to shoot sub-3-inch groups with it, but YMMV.

:hello:

Yep, it's got an upgraded APEX Trigger, and upgraded night sights :tup:

wowwwwww. Pretty awesome Darren.

I really need to get back to the range. I have been so busy with work and other things that I haven't been in a couple months. Need to make sure I can still hit the target. :)

Nice M&P, I have yet to have a chance to fire one but would really like to. Picking up my 2nd Ruger sr1911 this Friday, maybe I will take a nice picture of them both and post it up.

Hey Trooper do you have any experience with the M&P shield? i am looking at that and the walther PPQ for a designated carry and at 399 the M&P just might be to much of a deal to pass on.

Not the shield no. Isn't it almost identical to the M&P, or it's just a compact version?

I hear good things about the Walther PPQ though, that's actually on my wishlist :tup:

i believe it is and is more of a compact ver but i think it is even slimmer than the PPQ which is ont of the reasons i am interested for ccw

just got back from my LGS with the 2nd addition.

Sorry for the low quality pics as they dont do the gun justice.

Single stack magazine.

Nice!!:tup:

Just picked up a Beretta CX4 storm yesterday! Been waiting for months for this one. Apparently they are on limited availability until 2013.

wowwwww thats cool man... congrats!

Nice, my bros friend was able to pick one up before the price hike a couple years back and he loves it.

Has anyone had any experience with the Ruger 10/22 takedown? the utility purpose the rifle provides being a takedown intrigues me and has really got me thikning about picking one up this weekend

Very cool!

buy it!! then post up pics!!!:tup::tup:

lmao I will probably just end up doing that.

good deal man, good deal.. well I look forward to seeing it.:tup:

just bought my first gun yesterday! started off with something small so i got the Ruger SR22 :icon17:

Nice little target gun! Don't try to shoot anyone with it, though. :icon17:

hahaha i'll try not to. Getting a sig 2022 9mm next week.

:tup:

anyone know of a good shooting range around VA? NRA is near me but i just hate that i have to pay for a first timer test! it's only 10 bucks but i don't like that idea

Blue Ridge Arsenal in Sterling. That's where I go most of the time.

do they make u pay for a test?

Honestly I don't remember. I went there and they asked if I could shoot, I said yes. They made me demonstrate I knew how to safely handle a pistol, I did, and then i went to my lane.

Dude, this thing is badass... congrats man!:tup::tup:

If I were you, I'd go with someone thats familiar with shooting, that way you dont hurt yourself or someone else, and you could actually learn a thing or two about marksmanship and the fundamentals of shooting.

Thanks, no worries, a bunch of my friends are marines and army and they go shoot all the time, so I'll be in good hands :ugh2:

good stuff man, have fun, be safe.

Here you go East and anyone that might be interested in a little truck gun.

Other than the plinking contests with friends it will be used as a vehicle rifle along with a pistol.

ohhhhhhh niiiiice! i like it dude..

Damn i wish yall were down here. There is a gun shop that over expanded this past early spring and purchased way to much inventory on gun and ammo and ended up not selling a lot. This weekend they are having at huge sale on guns and ammo selling at cost.

Now I dont know what cost is but all i know is I am picking up those 420rd federal xm855 ammo cans for 130 each tomorrow that they normally sell for 150.

So... when are we going to have a range day?
