You remember at Edson Range, how we would blacken the front sight with those smudge pots? Unless it is cloudy and overcast, the glare is significant. I thought about those smudge pots.

I like this one so much I just now ordered a new trigger kit from Midway USA to replace the cracked hinge trigger.

Nah. It's machts nichts to me. But what I did discover on the M&P was disturbing. The two part trigger has a very small detent pin which upon inspection, revealed a hairline crack in the plastic. The crack is present in the full pic above, in my last post. But I had not noticed it. That's...

Eyeballs! CLICK SIR!!! Ooorah that motivating Vortex Venom!!!

My Glock 30SF stripped down faster than the M&P, but the M&P strips down good enough. The problem I had with the 30 was that it didn't go into battery consistently. Rather than tolerate being called names, I sold it to the pawn shop. My trusted Makarovs have been known to experience a rare light...

Now, this is my opinion, a sentiment that I have. I feel like the M&P 45 is better than my Beretta 92A1 was, and here's one reason why. Yes; I can punch the firing pin channel. Although the 92A1 could be fired full DA on the first round (which I liked), I could not get it truly clean, I felt. It...

Parting shots... Now, I really enjoyed shooting this M&P, and I always do. I also like posting these pics.

This is my only striker fired pistol. I was raised in a time when firearms safety was construed differently than it is today. I am up in years now, and I can't carry with one in the tube while the pistol is cocked. I've done it a couple of times, but I'm ill at ease with it. I've used that Kydex...

Everything about the M&P 45 is used. Including the two spare magazines I ordered on line. I only run cheap practice ammo through it, because I like to come out here and shoot. I don't feel in any way inferior for having the limitation of ten rounds of 45. The inherent advantage of any...

I keep posting the pics of the actual firing because I figured some of ya'll might find it interesting. The brass really gets flung out there. There is no problem during any of the sequences whatsoever.

I have never fully trusted semi-autos, but I have fired exactly 200 rounds through the M&P without a single anomaly. This is a big pistol, but it has functioned flawlessly.

Then, I ran 50 through the M&P.

The WWII Hungarian fared terribly. I did not even complete one seven round magazine through it. Total fail. Started off OK, but not for long... Every other round was a missfeed. Although it ejected fine, and hit the target, it was a jammo-matic. It was easy enough to clear and get...

The weather permitting, tomorrow I mean to run these two pistols against each other. The S&W 45 against the 9mm short of the WWII German satellite, Hungary. We all know that the 45 is a hard hitter - a real go getter! But what about the Hungarian? It hasn't been shot since WWII. Will it even shoot?

Thanks. I'm going to get the range ready for tomorrow. If the weather holds, I'm going to run a box through it. I looked up all the info on it that I could find, and it was made in 1944. It was issued to the Hungarian Army and to German Luftwaffe units. Edit: I think I'll run it against the M&P...

Anybody ever see one of these? My grandpa was in Europe in WWII and one of his friends asked him to bring this back for him. Edit: I put this in this thread because it was my dad's carry. He always kept it loaded in the glove compartment of the car. But he never shot it. It's never been shot...

Well it sure surprises me every time I shoot it. There's something basic, and straightforward about it. It shoots with utilitarian authority. It's not got the polish and glitter. But it's a real hard hitter. I read somewhere about it, and I don't know if this is true or not - that the M&P45 Full...

Could be, could be. He/she has a fascinating job and should be up on the history of S&W. Speaking of which, S&W history is a subject of intense interest for me. I've downloaded several books on S&W, and they crack the lid open, but it's like seeing things in a partially dark room when a door of...

Well there is a Military and Police logo clearly etched onto the frame of my M&P 340CT revolver. Also, this pic should send the hired help at S&W to seek clarification on this riddle.

Well I threw this back at S&W just now. This ought to get the ball rolling, lol!
