    The new M&P 2.0

    I've yet to shoot one but so far the reviews are good.  I like the grip texturing and the trigger is a definite improvement on the original.  I'm currently waiting for the 5 inch to come out in black before I consider buying one.  I'm not a fan of the FDE crap.

    At Home Shooting Range: Legal considerations

    Thanks for the updates on this one.  I wasn't sure just how "private" of a range this was talking about so I'm glad I asked. I'll keep this in mind going forward.  I like the idea of having a legal defense that I can use in the event of an annoying neighbor or township so I started digging. ...

    At Home Shooting Range: Legal considerations

    I'm currently on the hunt for property on which to build a house and one of my considerations is the safe and legal construction of an at home shooting range.  To that end, I'm looking through Lawriter and the only reference I've found so far to shooting ranges appears rather vague.  It...

    The hinged trigger is pretty easy to get around.  Heck, you can buy just the APEX polymer trigger alone for 40 bucks directly from them. https://store.apextactical.com/WebDirect/Products/Category?categoryId=20 I've thought about doing that and pairing it with the RAM as a first work around...

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/Eqhh866Zc6s?feature=oembed And now Smith and Wesson has thrown this into the mix.  I really wanted to stick with M&P because I like the way it feels in my hands but I couldn't get past the trigger.  I've been wanting to APEX my M&P9C trigger for quite a while but...

    Add this to my want/need/will own list

    I typed that response before I finished MAC's video on the link in the OP. Between the price, holster compatibility, and the fact that mags will be cross compatible with the P-06 I'm almost sold.  However, I'm a bit of a laggard when it comes to new products.  I'll let others put it through its...

    Add this to my want/need/will own list

    I've been needing to step up to a duty size handgun in the near(ish) future for training and eventual competition and up until recently I've wanted to stick with M&P but with the P320 and now this my eyes are starting to wander.  Why bother buying a gun whose trigger I'll have to mess with later...

    Encourage your representatives to vote for the Hearing Protection Act

    First suppressors, then SBR's, then...repeal?  We can only hope right?

    Reloading Room Pics

    Every good firearms community needs a thread for posting your work stations.  Post up, I'd love to see some new ideas! The first photo is my old set up before I went overseas and my wife and father in law attacked my work bench.  It worked okay, but storage was a p.i.t.a.  The second photo is...

    Do you still carry in posted no carry zones in Ohio

    Malls will sometimes post a "code of conduct" at main entrances that you have to read and the no guns rule is usually buried in the bottom.  The ones near me don't post signage at doors.  Knowing this, I'll park at a store parking lot where there isn't even a "code of conduct" and carry away...

    Ohio CCW Laws Quick References

    Scenario Based Question:  This is actually what drove me to seek out and join this forum in the first place.  This is based off of a similar situation that has played out in Indiana and want to know if Ohio law differs from Indiana. I have a lead foot and am pulled over by local LEO's. As...
