My Sig229 in .40 wouldn't lock back either. I first investigated the magazine and it was in perfect working order. I then started looking at the slide lock lever. I realized it was dragging on the frame ever so slightly and the magazine spring wasn't strong enought to overcome the friction. I lubed it up well and it worked perfectly ever since. I guess maybe I shoulda oiled it a bit before shooting it but I was too excited.

I guess you could say they are my hobby, or to the Brady bunch, they may call me " one of these gun nuts ".
I try to tell people that firearms are tools, just like hammers, screw drivers etc.. Never lose respect for them, or like most tools, they will bite you. Don't be afraid of them, respect them and they will serve you well.

You are so right. I worked a few accidental shootings of a child. They stay in your mind forever. Being a country boy, I was raised with firearms and was very well taught about caution. Best advice I can give is, don't hide them and make them a mystery. If your child asks a question, answer as best you can and stress the part that these are not toys and if they find one, find an adult and show it to them. If you don't hide something from a child, they will usually obey your rules, try to hide something can lead to tradegy.

AR-15 rocks. Not sure where you're located, but if you're in Ontario I can tell you a spot were you can shoot any weapon you want, and don't have to be a member or hold a PAL / RPAL either. :thumbsup:

No, nothing to share, just another obsession like the car. Do you need 1000hp....no but it sure is fun. same with guns....why get just one.

I need to take some pics of my ammo supply, i think i am at about 80,000 rounds or so. And none of it is .22LR, all for the rifles and pistols. I shoot a whole lot and compete in USPSA and 3gun. I also reload all my ammo so its pretty cheap.

If the zombie hoards do come to my neighborhood we will be set however:D

Anywho, as a followup on the previous thread...

I picked up a Smith & Wesson M&P 9MM (4.25") on Sunday. It was used in LIKE NEW condition with everything included like factory. Realized when I got home it was made circa Summer 2006 and doesn't have any of the M&P revisions aside from the black magazine followers and maybe the non fubar'd finish. My other handgun is a Springfield Armory EMP 9MM. It is #568 and so its also probably from sometime in '06. I've had it for about a year. My goal is to pick one and sell the other. I don't have a lot of interest in having more than one handgun right now as I prefer shooting rifles for enjoyment.

Note: I had a Smith & Wesson M&P 9MM Pro Series, SS Slide, 5" (bought new) but sold it. I wasn't crazy about the sights and it ended up being a little long for my liking.

I stopped by Precision Firearms in Baton Rouge this evening after work. This wasn't scientific. I'm no Bob Munden or Jerry Miculek. In fact, I probably suck. I use a thumbs forward grip and an 'I dont remember how to stand' stance :rofl: I bought one target for each gun. I decided to shoot for bullseye at 15 and head at 30.

Brought all the ammo I had on hand. Each gun ran mags loaded with either Speer Gold Dot +P, Federal HST +P, Remington UMC Target, or Winchester White Box.

This was the Springfield Armory EMP 9MM. I think I shot 5 mags at the head and 5 at the bullseye (8 rounds each).

The EMP of course being smaller is more work to control. The SA trigger makes accurate shots easier but twice I double tapped on accident. It's a comfortable gun but as my relatively short range session wore on it slowly became uncomfortable to shoot because of its smaller size (I have average hands, I'm 5'9"). It's really has some pop with +P (which actually it's not rated for I don't think). I had two malfunctions. Once the slide locked back with rounds left in the mag so I had to release the slide and keep going. The 2nd time I didn't seat the mag all the way and it dropped down far enough to not feed after the first shot. Typically the slide will lock back on a loaded back about once per outing. It fed the hollow point rounds fine. I did note that if I want to release the slide with the slide stop/release I can't reach it with my thumb very well. I have to hit it with my left hand.

This was the Smith & Wesson M&P 9MM. If I recall it was 4-6 mags at the head and 6 at the bullseye (17 rounds each).

The M&P being larger was more comfortable and was a pleasure to shoot through the entirety of my visit. The trigger is vastly different from my EMP of course and took some adjusting. It had no malfunctions of any sort with any ammo. I can reach the slide stop/release with ease using my shooting hand as well. I noticed however that I'm shoot consistently low and to the left. I'm pretty sure I did that with my last M&P as well. Perhaps a serious adjustment is needed on my part. My best friend shot my M&P as accurate as his Glock where I shot it low/low left so I'm confident it's my lackluster handgun skills.

In summary, I love my EMP's handsome looks/classic styling. I also enjoy the SA trigger. However I kind of feel like I am hurting myself by staying with the baby 1911. I think whether or not one may be more accurate than the other doesn't matter at this point. The M&P I feel is going to be accurate enough to make me happy, reliable enough to depend on, but more importantly the simpler manual of arms and 'service' size of it will be preferable while I pursue some more training and learn the fundamentals of handguns. I have had handguns for two and a half years now. A revolver, a fullsize 1911, the baby 1911, a sub compact XD, and a 5" polymer gun. It seems now I should settle on a service sized weapon, a tool, that I can learn with. All other things aside.

That was a long read!

Have my eye on a couple compact 1911s though too.

I went to the gun range and shot for the first time, they gave me a Ruger 9mm, and the 'instructor' let me shoot his 45 revolver. Ok, for a first time shooter, that 9mm had a lot going on; slide flying back, recoil, shells flying out, I was a nervous as heck. Then I shot the 45 and it kicked so hard it about flew out of my hand. I had a blast shooting them and I know with practice you get used to the recoil and noise and shell casings busting out. I WANT A GUN now, of course the question of the day is what kind should I buy. I would want one that I wouldn't have to uprgrade in three months that would be good for home protection, and possibly to carry with a ccw, and that the wife could shoot in case of emergency. What brand, what size, and pistol or revolver.
I am thinking a revolver would be easier to maintain and maybe more reliable, what are your thoughts?
Also, where is a good place to buy a gun? I seen some places online, but it seems you have to have it sent to a local gun store and pick it up..... does this piss the local gun store owner off or is this just business as usual? Seems kinda strange to me.
Thanks in advance,
Gary
