Even with a fitted t-shirt, you still won't be able to see anything. Most of my shirts are tighter and even when I was carrying the full size XDm, it still disappeared for the most part with that holster.

Enjoy man!

My supertuck works pretty well. Usually can't get away with a super tight shirt. Then again I'm fat.


If anyone is interested in a Glock 22,I'm selling mine to buy a other gun. 450 with less than 1000 rds through it. Near mint condition. Will throw in some 40 ammo for the right deal.

New toy :mrgreen:

I already took a Dremel to it and undercut and smoothed the trigger guard. The Pro Series already has an upgraded trigger parts so the sear and trigger bar only needed a bit of polishing to finish it off and it feels a lot nicer. I'm holding off on stippling it until I decide on a pattern. I really likes my 40C, but I think I'll do something different this time.

And yes, Dave, I switched to 9mm after all. :o

It would just been a range shooter so it doesn't need to withstand the end of times or super long battery life just somthing half decent that takes basic movements. Am i looking too into this? just get somthing cheap should work

after looking at EOtech's, aimpoints and TA33 ACOG's I walked away with an H-1 for pure simplicity.

GO with the PA mentioned red dot if you must go budget. I blew $600 on a tiny optic, and I am glad I made the plunge. I also cannot BELIEVE I spent $600 on a red dot optic. It's TITS tho. like, absolutely tits.

haha yeah yeah. Believe me, the only reason is cost of ammo. .40S&W is just too expensive to kill paper with, and 45 is even worse. I do like the gun a lot though. I've been pretty busy so I hope I can make some time to hit the range in the next few days.

paused last minute..stuck between shield and xds. ive read a ton of opinions, got to really play with the xds but only got to hold the shield for a moment.

my only hang up on the shield honestly is the thumb safety. i like the feature of sprinfield grip safety n no thumb safety.

i also would rather stay at a smaller cal so its easier to get back on track after first shot if need be. and with the xds its only a 5+1 (unless extended grip which isnt for me)

shield would also be cheaper to put rounds through than a .45 thats for sure.

ive read alot of feedback etc, personally talked to someone who has both and loves each..reaching out here to see if anyone has anything they can add for me..

DC2.2GSR 11-04-2012 11:52 AM

As much as I hate thumb safeties, it's really no big deal on the Shield. I've had a pretty solid amount of time messing around with my friend's new Shield and that was my number one concern. It's so small and partially recessed into the frame that it makes it difficult to engage accidentally. Add in the fact that it's somewhat tough to engage anyway just by the design of the thing and it really makes it almost a non-issue. I would just leave the safety off and holster like that. I'd also just check it by feel periodically when carrying just to make sure it's still off. With a good holster though you shouldn't get very much unintended movement and it will probably never engage if you don't want it to.

cmr076 11-04-2012 02:55 PM

Thumb safeties are the only kind I can deal with. On the 1911, with enough drawing practice you can disengage while bringing the gun from a holster in a draw movement.. Becomes second nature actually

kunt_masha 11-04-2012 06:22 PM

anyone have a .22 AR?


I started putting together a spikes .223 but keep eyeing up the Colt and S&W .22's as a good and CHEAP practice gun.




....Plus it would be sweet for the apocalypse.

Thumb safeties are great on 1911s where they're actually a very important part of the gun's design, but that's the only place they belong in my opinion. It's completely unnecessary on a striker or DA gun, especially on a carry gun. It's just one more thing to worry about under pressure. Having a safety to worry about on a 1911 is fine because it must be there, but on other styles of guns it's just useless.

Just yesterday I had a conversation with some idiot at a friend's house who was mexican carrying a Ruger SR9 without a holster, just the safety on. When I mentioned (delicately) that he was an absolute f**king moron for doing so, he instantly brought out my most hated one liner - "nah man, it's fine, the safety's on." :mad: It's a crutch, nothing else.

do ANY 1/9 twist 5.56/.223 barrel and use the CMMG .22lr kit. mine likes to retain the same zero @ 25M as my rifle rounds do = training plus. ALSO you can easily get a .22lr supressor for 1/2-28 and to that route as well for FULL Zombie readiness.

I have shot my CMMG kit on my 10.5'', 16'' middy and my 20" with NO issues. like none. Mines just the regular kit, not the fancy evo kits with bolt hold open and assist options. Get the SS ones! easier to clean.

1/9" can handle like 40-62grn. I always use 55, unless its Xtac and thats 62.

schaffer 11-05-2012 03:08 PM

The cmmg kit is like 170 bucks online. Comes with 2 26 round mags. Kinda hard to beat.

VETTE_50_TH 11-05-2012 06:37 PM

Anyone interested in a practically new M&P40C? Comes with a holster and 50 rounds of HST. Mint condition

DC2.2GSR 11-05-2012 10:24 PM

So I took the new M&P9 Pro to the range for the first time tonight. First shot ever - dead center through the X at 7 yards :mrgreen: With the following 17 shots I blew out the entire 10 ring, every hole touching the last. I can't believe how nice that gun is to shoot. The trigger, the full size grip instead of my old compact, just everything. I'm very happy with it. The 124 grain Speer Gold Dot +P that I got to carry feels pretty close to .40S&W recoil-wise but the 115 grain target stuff is sooooo soft, I love it. I was afraid that I'd miss my 40C but not at all. I can't wait to shoot again. I'll be buying a full case of 9mm ASAP so I can really hammer this thing :supz:



And for your entertainment, here's a crappy iPhone video of my friend shooting his new Century C39 tonight at Clayton's. Keep in mind that the fire ball is that large with a flash hider. It's not exactly an "indoor friendly" gun. lol.

Now I'm pissed at myself for getting rid of my Draco. :mad:

HaveBlue83 11-06-2012 12:07 AM
