Has anyone found a source for magazines for the new EZ 9? I will be purchasing one of these within the next month or two, and it would be nice to have an extra magazine or two. I couldn't even find them on the S&W website. For those who haven't shot one, it's an excellent weapon. It takes all...

I've been considering purchasing a new range gun. I want a full sized .45. Previous experience with a .45 was an XDS; I liked the gun, but I found it a bit "snappy," which I attributed to its size. My carpal tunnels would start to act up after about 20-25 rounds. I'm NOT looking to carry it; I...

Good afternoon everyone: I have noticed that I will typically shoot consistently low and left. From doing some research I have found that two of the most common reasons for this is grip and trigger push. I am pretty sure that it's not trigger push, which leaves me with grip issues. I went to...

Has anyone had any weapons cerakoted? I've been doing a bit of research, both here and elsewhere. It seems that some manufacturers are using Cerakote from the factory, etc. Is it all that? Is it a viable way to perform a color change on a plastic frame semi? I have finally gotten my wife...

What is everyone using as an alternative to the Ruger 10/22? I've currently got a 10/22, but I don't like it as much as I feel that I should like it. Before I purchased it (used about 2 yrs ago) everything that I read said that if you're looking for a .22LR rifle, then the Ruger was the way to...

What is the general consensus about the FN X in 9mm? I've heard good things about FNs in general, just nothing specific to the X. I was looking at the 1911 platform, but the more I looked into it, the less I liked it. Yes, I know that is a sacrilege, but I'm OK with that. My hands just aren't...

Morning everyone! I've been looking around for a .45 for EDC. I've had my eye on the XDS, but now I'm reading good things about the Shield in 45 (I already have the 9, and I love it). The Shield is cheaper than the XDS, but not really so much that it's a game changer. It seems that the going...

I've been looking at upgrading the sights on my Shield 9mm EDC. There are so many different options out there that I'm not sure where to start. I'm wanting something that is just a little bit easier to focus on, perhaps even something along the night sights line. Any suggestions? I've linked...

I keep hearing and reading about this gun "has a better trigger" than that gun... What exactly does this mean? I have heard (and seen) several references to how bad the trigger is on the S&W Shield 9mm, yet I have no fault with it. It makes the gun go bang when I pull it, and I am able to hit...

Hello everyone... Some may know that I picked up a used 10/22 about a week or so ago, and I've had some fun with it. What I'm not having fun with is getting the bolt seated again after cleaning. To put it mildly, it's a major PITA. Is there an easy way of seating the bolt on top of the return...

I have reached the point where I'm looking to pick up an inexpensive .22LR for plinking and general target shooting up to about 50 yrds or so. It was recommended to me to look at the Ruger 10/22 and get a decent, yet relatively inexpensive scope for it and just have fun. The Ruger has almost...

I just returned from what turned into a slightly longer trip from home here in Louisiana to Connecticut. I spent most of 5 days up there. I went for a visit, as my sister got married. I was talking to my cousin who lives up there and has his concealed carry permit. He was telling me some of the...

Good afternoon everyone: I went out and shot my Shield 9mm this morning, put about 200 or so rounds through it, no problems there. I brought it home, cleaned it up, and when I went to reassemble it, it appears as though the take down lever slid back up to the horizontal position. Now my slide...

I know that this may be obvious to some, but it's not so obvious to me. My S&W M&P .22 Compact sights are off a little bit. My groups are falling about 3-4 inches high consistently from about 15-20 yards. My stock rear sight is said to be adjustable. Is it as obvious to adjust the sights as it...

What's with all of the hate I have been finding surrounding this weapon? I'm looking to pick up another 9, something that is cheap that I can carry in my vehicle (but not leave there) as I often have to drive through "da hood" and a little piece of mind can go a long way. The C9 is cheap...

Good morning everyone! I tried doing a search, but didn't really find what I was looking for... How did you come about deciding where (and how) you carry concealed? I haven't really tried various locations or holsters yet, but I figure it will be quite the learning experience. I'm just not...

Good morning everyone! I'm pretty new to gun ownership, and until yesterday it had been more than 20 yrs since I shot anything. My accuracy wasn't as good as I was hoping for, but I'm hoping that is mostly being out of practice. I've only put 50 rounds through, so I figure I have a couple...
