Everything posted by missed it by that much

  1. Just practice drawing to aquire muscle memory. I personally like the red dot. Practice with both will result in better muscle memory. Since I'm older I like the red dot.
  2. Yes I also have an old Para p18 which was converted to 38 super
  3. My Smith and wesson 38 super revolver prefer 357 358.
  4. 356 lead, 355 jacketed out of all my 9mm except with the exception of 357 jacketed or 358 lead out of 9mm S&W 929 And same with 9mm taurus 692 in 9mm
  5. RMR makes a truncated jhp bullet. Reasonably priced in 135. They shoot great out of my canik sfx steel
  6. Thanks Warren. For the information. It'd in great shape and got it for 700 hundred dollars. Couldn't resist. Got to load up some ammo and shoot it.
  7. As the title says. Just bought a 4 inch M29 Smith and Wesson in 44 mag. Has a screw in front of the trigger guard below the chin. Just wondering about the function of this screw. I've got lots of Smith and wesson revolvers Just never seen this screw before.
  8. Looking good. Might have to try a set
  9. Thanks I've got some and used it before. Seems like I had to spray it constantly during matches.
  10. I'll try it. Thanks. I've used compensator spray with little luck
  11. Oh I almost forgot I did shoot some plated bullets in 147 and accuracy was good. But in most of my experience with plated bullets accuracy deteriorates past 25 yards. In most of my 9mm pistols.
  12. I was using 160 grain bayou bullets sized at 356. Tried 355 jacketed oh they shoot just not accurately out of my 929. Due to leading up the compensator I just switched to 147 grain jacketed 357 bullets behind 3.2 grains of titegroup. Good accuracy. I have some 124 jacketed in 357 I just hate got around to trying them yet
  13. I have the 38 super revolver that Smith and Wesson made prior to the 929. Don't remember the model number. I still have it. For accuracy 356 bullets work great that's jacketed bullets I'm sure 357 would to. I was using both hornady 125 in 356 and zero in 356 great accuracy
  14. I put one in my elite limited years ago. I like it but it's been so long ago I don't remember there being any problems or tricks. Takes a lot of side to side play out. Sorry can't help more.
  15. I have both the xdm 5.25 and the m&p 1.0. I just bought the competitor 2.0 metal. Out of the box the xdm was much more accurate. I put aftermarket triggers on both the xdm and 1.0. I also had a gunsmith fit barrel added to the 1.0 because for me accuracy was terrible. I bought the 5 inch core slide that Smith and wesson sold for the m&p 1.0 it's compensated and it's plug and play. Now about the competitor. The trigger isn't great but a huge improvement. It's flat faced if you like that. It's not as nice a trigger as the canik rival trigger. But much better than glock. For me the Smith and Wesson m&p fits great in my hand. The xdm isn't bad. So I think it's kinda preference. The competitor comes with optic plates so easily mount a red dot. But I'm pretty sure some of the xdm pistols have that option. So go with what feels good. Oh if you've already got xdm mags see if they're interchangeable with what xdm you're considering buying. Not sure if that helps. Good luck
  16. Sorry I answered in the above post. If you have more specific questions go ahead and ask
  17. It's OK. I am a little disappointed with accuracy. I've only shot reloads I had on hand. All were shot off the bag at 17 yards with a red dot. 5 shot groups. Bullet. Powder. Group size ctc 124 Win RN titegroup 4.1. 2.014 124 Win RN. Titegroup 4.4. 1.892 124 RMR MW Titegroup 3.8. 2.868 135 Bayou. Sport Pistol 3.5. Over 4" 135 Acme Sport Pistol 3.5. 2.858 147 RMR MW Titegroup 3.2 Over 4" 147 extreme RN VV320 3.2 2.22 So accuracy can be found just have to look a little harder than most my other guns I really like the feel of the m&p in my hands. I have a 1.0 that I won when they first came out. Had to do trigger work install barsto barrel to make it right for me. So I had magazines for this already and they are interchangeable. The trigger on the competitor is much better. Not as good as the canik rival which is also not picky with ammo and accuracy. But a great improvement over 1.0 m&p. I also don't like the front strap which is removable. It's not noticeable when shooting but just bugs me that it wiggles. Don't like the plastic plates. Recoil is different than the plastic m&p maybe faster and snappier. So long story short. I think find what you like and feels good in your hands. I shoot revolver quite a bit so I'm not a trigger snob. I'm in michigan so I'll really play with it more when the weather breaks.
  18. Just bought a steel frame competitor. Came with plastic mounting plates. Pulled out the metal plates from the slide I bought for my m&p 1.0 slide kit I bought some years ago. Sure enough they're the same as the new 2.0 plates. Just thought I'd share.
