    How do you know "When"?

    I agree that the trigger would be a better investment and would probably be better sooner as opposed to later. I think it would be a step back, albeit in a positive direction in the long run, to have to revamp trigger control that you've grown accustomed to. I actually shot limited with it. The reasoning was two fold: I didn't have enough mags to run production first time out and I actually thought fewer reloads first time out cut back on stress a little. Maybe that thought process goes against the grain somewhat but thats just me. Lol.

    After reading many posts regarding issues with M&P accuracy and trigger action, I have a question. Being new to the addiction, how do I know WHEN to begin investing in aftermarket parts for my M&P? Would an aftermarket barrel and competition trigger assembly benefit me now or should I wait until I know that it is my handgun that is holding me back? The disadvantage, it would seem, in waiting is having to adapt to a different trigger than I've run up until that point.

    Backstrap Question

    Sdm74, I had the same concern about being able to manipulate the mag release. I actually reversed it to the right side of the firearm and now release with the middle finger of my Strong hand.... Takes a little getting used to but it will help you retain a better grip through reloads. Just a thought.... Switching that release is pretty easy to accomplish as well.

    Had a fantastic time at MRPC today.... Didn't last as long as I had hoped thanks to my own stupidity getting me DQ'd on the 4th stage of the day. Regardless, I had a blast and learned a lot..... Mostly what NOT to do. Lol. Everyone was super nice and willing to offer advice and assistance. Can't wait till next time!

    Backstrap Question

    In your humble opinion, would you rather use a smaller backstrap for strong hand dominance or a larger for more weak hand contact area? Have you tried it both ways and what effect did it have? I feel more comfortable with the small backstrap but I feel that my grip is more consistant and the trigger location on my finger seems to give a more consistant, smoother pull.

    That's universal right der... I don't care who ya are. I suggest the command for "gun clear, hammer down, and holster" be changed to "empty it and put that thang away afore ya hurt yersef".... being raised in the south with a twisted sense of humor and a flair for sarcasm I could rewrite the rule book and make it a nightmare for everyone to understand... cept me. :blink::roflol:

    Oh and by the way... we could car pool. I could weld the doors shut on the Town and Country and paint er up like the General Lee.

    That would be the best carpool ever. The bridge to miami is still out. Im thinking go TRUE general lee style to the match

    I'll get em welded shut, beef up the suspension, and get the mudders slapped on er tomorrow. They're calling for rain tomorrow so we may hafta just do primer instead of the full blown paint job... might make the hood slide a little rough... :surprise::o YEEEEHAAAAAAAAW!!!!
