I bought (2) LMT MWS. The 308 is currently plain but the factory trigger on it is really nice! 5.5# and smooth.

The pictured gun is the 6.5CM. It is also an MWS but was worked on by GAP. It has a Geissele SSA-E. Surefire brake, UBR stock, Bushnell DMR 3.5-21, Atlas bipod. The former owner also has a LaRue OBR (behind it) and he said the MWS will outshoot it noticably. He also said the farthest he shot it was 1100 yds. I can't wait to shoot either of them.

Why do I need a 1000yd gun? Why do I need a 1000whp Camaro? Because I want them. Don't ask my wife why I need them. She'll give a much smaller answer...

Consider the mag is inserted, bolt is closed and the safety is in the fire position.

I'm not following you... I am really tired though.


Saying it's potentially unsafe if it were in fact loaded (I'd guess it's not.)

Then I suggest you take some firearm safety classes immediately.

Evryone should own one pistol that jams/fte/ftf a lot...

It's loaded.

Even if it isn't...

It is.

Bolt closed? Treat it like it's loaded.

Even if you yourself closed it on an empty chamber.

I wonder how many loved ones heard these last words as they lay dying..... "I thought it was unloaded!"

9mm conversion barrel has arrived! Just need the magazines now...

Does anyone have a slip on grip for their pistol? If so who makes it and do you like it?

Well aware- you'll never see me consider a trigger pull in a non range setting unless i physically check the chamber.

Not slip-on, but I try to run Talon Grips on all my firearms.

Thanks.

I find the recoil to be very manageable on the 45. 45 recoil is just different then a 9mm or 40. I prefer the 45 but 9mm is so much more economical to shoot.

agreed. I find myself sweeping the safety on my striker fired guns when there is no safety. Good habit to have i guess.

Granular or rubber? I think I might have a bit of skateboard grip tape I could cut to shape...

You can shoot 9mm out of a 357/40 magazine until you get dedicated magazines. You might also be aware the ejector on the 9mm and 40 have slightly different angles. I didn't have any issues with it though.

I prefer the rubber texture.

I use the magazine from the .40 when I use the 9 mm barrel with no issues. I had a cheap slip on rubber grip but removed it when it bunched up. Magazines are on e-bay for $22.

I've never had a FTE from mine.
