Smith & Wesson M&P | Everyday Loadout

One of the most common questions I see on these forums and others, as well as in real life (!) is "what gun should I get?" This most often comes from people new to handguns who are choosing their first gun. The answer should be more complex than a quick response allows, so I've attempted to...

Review: http://everydayloadout.com/beretta-px4-storm-compact.html I know there's been more than a few threads on here about this gun, so I finally got around to collecting all of my thoughts in one place. These guns are extremely underrated for what they are. They have some of the best triggers...

I wrote an article on this topic. I believe many people don't give small revolvers the credit they're due. Interested in any feedback or discussion on this topic! http://everydayloadout.com/revolvers-for-everyday-carry.html

I wrote an article about why people carry handguns for defense. I hope I covered most of the big points. What do you all think? Why We Carry

Hey all, recently acquired one of my grandfather's pistols, a High Standard Match King. He is no longer living at home and my grandmother has no interest in having guns in the house. We are not certain what we are doing with it yet, but I would like to figure out a value as a starting point...

Picked up a 642-1 without the internal lock today. I specifically wanted one without the internal lock, and seeing that it is in Smith's catalog, I had my dealer order it for me. He got in two. My question is are they still making the -1 or was this old stock? I was expecting a -2 or -3 with...

I will be buying a J-frame for concealed carry in the next month or so. I am trying to select which one I want. Current decisions are 442 vs. 642, and whether to get the no lock or Pro Series version cut for moonclips (I don't believe both is an option). Either would be a special order as I...

S&W's website is sadly lacking in the one dimension I care about in a carry gun: height. I found one instance of the M&P 9mm that shows height at 5.5" here. And I found one instance of the M&P45c that shows height of 4.8" here. But none of the M&P9c's have height listed on the product page...

My biggest complaint, by far, with revolvers, is their sights. Even with adjustable sights, that black notch with a black front ramp is far inferior, for me, than your basic three dot setup on any semi-auto. Every time I seriously get into revolvers again, I always end up getting frustrated...

Not sure if any of you watch(ed) the show American Guns, but towards the end of their second season, they made an effort to get S&W to pick up their custom 637 as a production gun. Basically they take a 637, remove the hammer, give it a trigger job and doll it up a bit. On the show they were...

Hoping someone can clear up a question for me. The Springfield XDs 9mm and Walther PPS 9mm, both with the flush-fitting magazines, have the following published dimensions. OAL: 6.3" Height: 4.4" Width: 0.9" Identical dimensions. However, the XDs holds 7 rounds of 9mm, and the PPS holds 6...

I am in the market for a new J-frame-sized revolver in .38Spl +P. The primary goal is lightweight. This gun will be for throwing in a pocket to run to the store, or while mowing the lawn, etc. It won't be a primary carry or even a secondary carry. So lightweight is the top concern. I'd also...

Yesterday was an eye opener for me on the trap field. I have been shooting my Browning Citori Lightning Sporting Clays. This was my dad's clay gun and he passed it down to me when his days at the range were largely over. Naturally this gun has sentimental value, but in addition to that, it is...

Went into my LGS and noticed a new Smith in the case, a used Model 65-3 .357 with 3" barrel, Pachmyr grips. I checked it out, and it appeared to be in great shape. Locks up solid, no play anywhere, no signs of flame cutting. It's been fired but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a box or...

I'm hoping someone can clear up some confusion for me. I have a Remington 870 Express Magnum, Model 25077. I find the finish on it to be adequate, but nothing special. When I took it out of the box, I pulled a bunch of rust off it with some M-Pro7 and a cloth. I still occasionally get some...

I've decided its time to write another review, after the success my P2000sk review enjoyed on this and other forums. Since I have since switched my carry gun away from the sk, it seems only appropriate that the Walther PPS gets the nod this time. Walther released the PPS in 2007, as a...

Girlfriend recently got her CCP and tomorrow we are going to go shopping and hopefully buy. Shooting guns before buying is impossible here. I have shot an LCP and a Bodyguard .380, she has shot a variety of 9mms but no .380s. Her requirements are: -.380ACP -Has manual safety -Is extremely...

Had a red fiber optic front sight installed on my S&W 617. The sight is held on with a very small, proprietary roll pin. The new sight needs to be drilled very carefully to accommodate the pin. Definitely not something I could do myself, and my usual guy couldn't do it either. However, I...
