My newest addition, which is a birthday present from my dad. It's .45 cal with absolutely no markings on the barrel or anywhere else, so I have no idea of the year or maker. It does fire, but needs a cap conversion and some sights.![]() ![]() ![]() |

@theCapraAegagrus Yeah it's a little ornate. The second trigger is a safety. I may see if I can find more info on it at some point. For it to not have any markings, it has a lot of fancy embellishments. I wouldn't think it would be the work of a novice gunmaker, but I have no clue. | ||

I love the M&P line. They are finely tuned "cordless hole-punches". ![]() ![]() ![]() |

@DertyComix Your Never too late to the game! Sweet looking Kimber! Speaking of the Smith & Wesson M&P Line I just picked up mine yesterday at Bass Pro Shop Shield Plus 9mm Pistol I ran 150 rounds through it today. I did notice the slide was not locking open after firing the last shot ![]() ![]() I also picked up this Smith & Wesson 15-22 semi-auto Rifle It is set up just like a standard AR, but a bit easier on the wallet with the .22LR rounds. It was a blast shooting today as I ran 300 rounds through it. Had a few FTE with the winchester ammo I was shooting, fairly common for these rim fires. Great little plinking rifle. ![]() I think George and Winston approved! ![]() @SteveRicketts @DertyComix Are those the rifles from the 15-22 series? .223/5.56? |

After googling the problem of my new Shield Plus pistol's slide not locking back after the last shot I discovered that the grip with my thumb was actually hitting the slide lock. I will adjust my grip next time so that my thumb is not in contact with the slide lock. It appears that this is a very common problem with many of these compact pistols. | ||

On my my M&P 9mm, I bought this cheap grip and trimmed off about the bottom third. Makes it fit your hand like a glove. | ||

@BigRedOne1944 my rifle is a LWRC in 5.56. I really need to just buckle down and just work some OT and get a SBR. I've been waiting patiently for my tax stamp for my can so I can put it on my Sig MPX. Looks like I may have to call the ATF and see what's taking it so long. I'm well over 1 year on the process. I'm also going to SBR that MPX when I get around to it. I also need to get a G33 for that rifle also. | ||

@BigRedOne1944 @SteveRicketts I was going to buy an M&P9C back when they came out, but they no longer make that version, and replaced it with the Shield, which is a little lighter then the 9C. I'm still going to purchase one, but I just haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet... ![]() |

@GanaSoth if you can find one I highly suggest to get it on the spot if it's affordable. I love mine and is my go to CCW. It's fun to shoot. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GanaSoth Im very happy with the M&P Shield plus. I suppose I might have been able to find it a bit cheaper had I kept looking. I bought mine online at Cabela's/Bass Pro for $479. I know other have reported finding it cheaper, but this was the best I could find and I wasn't interested in waiting around any longer. |

I am always a little hesitant to share when it comes to my firearms, but here are some of my favs: My conceal carry S&W MP 9 Shield along with the convenient pocket holster which keeps the shield clean, virtually reduces all imprint and allows for quick ready position access…in the hopefully unlikely event of…well, you know. ![]() ![]() |

The Walther PPQ 9 mil is just an absolute joy to shoot with. Amazingly accurate, level feel, ambidextrous, multiple grips for perfect feel, has never misfired or misfed on me. Amazing! Highly recommend. I much prefer this over my Colt 45 auto, browning 9mm HP, or Sprinfield XDs 9mm. ![]() |

For some close up to 100 yard activities, aesthetics aside, the my HiPoint 9mm and 45 carbines are a real blast. ![]() |

And lastly for home defense, because pretty much everyone knows the universal language of “Chck-chck” and what comes next. Oh, by the way, the first load in this Mossberg 500 is a 20g 7 1/2 shot…so I can get my bearings…followed by hollow slugs…cause i wanna put the zombies down for good. ![]() |

@SteveRicketts - very much so. The textured knubs on the exterior and the lip help keep in place while removing from pocket without need to use index finger. My MP 9 shield is fairly heavy for a pocket firearm, so, i have to make sure to wear a belt or proper fit in waist. | ||
