Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. For the record my experience with the M&P 9 is also limited compared to many competition shooters. Roughly 1500 rds, then changed springs and have fired another 2000 or so. And thats all factory ammo (fed, wwb, rem, fiocci, tula) as im not a handloader yet. Some of that is local uspsa, but most is at an indoor range. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  2. One more note, although this isnt really related to your situation, it is spring related. With various factory 115gr ammo i did notice a slight POI shift after changing springs. I was printing a little higher than i wanted with the stock spring, and the ISMI seemed to bring it down a little. Whether this was a result of lock-time, my follow-through, felt recoil impulse or some other factor i cant say but there was definitely a noticeable change for the better. FWIW
  3. I havent really noticed a difference in feel when it returns to battery. If its sharper it must be pretty slight, but i suppose that could potentially effect the cases as theyre forced into the chamber. If the recoil spring is outrunning the magazine spring maybe the round is going forward earlier and "lower" causing some collision. But again im no gunsmith, thats pure speculation. I save most of my brass and upon a quick once over inspection they look unaffected. IIRC the springs from ISMI are slightly weaker than their listed strength, i.e. a 17# spring is closer to 16.5# for whatever thats worth. Good luck, please keep us posted on your findings!

  4. Sounds more like an ammo problem but im no gunsmith. I went to a 17 lb. ISMI as well on my slightly older M&P 9 (dky prefix) using the stock guide rod and its been great for about 2 yrs/2000 rds. Only malfunctions the gun has ever had were a few light strikes on Tula when i first got it. And i think that was caused by the globs of gunk i cleaned out of the striker channel afterwards. Never happened again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

  6. I wrap mine under the trigger guard. I've seen people who go around the front of the trigger guard but for me that gets in the way of my trigger finger a little bit and feels odd. I think most people would say go under because it kind of facilitates that 45 degree angle of your weak hand. But its also imporant for your grip to be somewhat natural and comfortable. I'd say try both, watch your muzzle flip and split times if u can. See what u can get results from without it being too awkward. Because for me just rocking my hand forward and getting more of the pistol covered made a dramatic difference in muzzle flip. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4
  7. I'm considering the same route as the OP. But I wonder how well a traditional rear sight will work mounted on the handguard. Wouldn't it be a bit far from your eye? I wonder if u could mount the rear on an offset rail behind your optic, and mount the front directly on the 1:30 position of the samson handguard with a regular picatinny and still get proper alignment. As long as their both on the bore axis then its just a matter of the elevation lining up... I suppose if it doesn't line up ill just spring for another offset rail for the front. Anyone tried either method? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
  8. Air in a can. Especially if you're dropping mags in dirt. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
  9. I shot about 200 rounds of it and it ran great. It was plenty accurate at 100 yds. Beyond that i cant say, id definitely buy more.
  10. I love my Burris Mtac. I havent used it in competition but its a great scope. Quality glass for the price, sturdy, great reticle, nice eye relief range. Its a little heavy because its illuminated and i have PEPR mount which is heavy but the scope itself is comparable to other low power illum scopes.
  11. Its literally a 1 minute drive to my indoor range, 30 min to the outdoor range where i shoot uspsa, and about 40 min to my buddies house in the hills where we occaisional shoot clays and random targets of our own design. Needless to say the close pistol range gets the most visits. Id say go for the awesome range if u already have to drive a little anyway.
  12. No my right (strong hand) thumb sits just behind the slide release and the left is well in front of it sitting on the takefown lever. Heres a crappy pic for reference. You can kinda see the slide release just in front of my right thumb.
  13. Having no gap is definitely better, but u dont wanna be dropping mags. What type of gun? Maybe theres a mag release u can buy to help with this?
  14. If youre just shooting production division, theres a guy on glocktalk called tacticalkydex who makes them for $10 each free shipping. They are a simplistic design but work great, i am using 4 of them for production. They are made around the shape of a m&p mag so its a perfect fit. He can make whatever belt size u want, and they have adjustable retention. However they cannot have adjustable cant so i wouldnt recommend them for limited or open. Email Tacticalkydex@bellsouth.net
  15. Refer to post #5. A 2011 has longer mags and therefore u can load longer, hotter rounds which push more gas through the comp making it counter recoil more effectively
