    AR-15 M4 redot set up?

    in Rifle - Technical

    Posted

    EoTech

    That's what we issue now.

    I'm going to be building something similar for the house (in 6.8SPC) and I've settled on a Trijicon Mini-ACOG. No switches, no batteries, light weight, but a little expensive. Since the wifey might use it I wanted to keep it absolutely reliable and simple. I'm not sure you can cowitness irons with the Mini-ACOG, but I figure it won't be in a combat environment so the chances of killing it are slim to none. R,

    I have a C-more and the Reflex (1x24) and I can't decide which one to keep. The Reflex does co-witness with the irons, and I do like the features that you mentioned. Just wanted to here opinions of others. I think I will keep the Reflex!

    Thanks to all who replied,

    What are your opinions between these two sights for a M4?

    C-More or Trijicon Reflex (1x24 model).

    Any input?

    Thanks,

    Depends on what you want to use it for. If you're looking at Multi-gun, I'd suggest a Meopta K-Dot (1-4 Illum).

    If simple plinking is the game, I'd probably go with the C-More (especially if you run one on an Open gun).

    No multi gun, just plinking, maybe as defensive purposes.

    Has Anyone put this sight on their M&P9L?

    Has Anyone put this sight on their M&P9L and did it change your point of aim from the factory front sight? It says for M&P 5" with factory Rear fixed sight. I'm only going to change it if it is the same. Measurements seem to match but has anybody experienced it?

    M&P9L production list?

    My PD has issued Glock 22's since the mid 90's, so for ease of training I sold a really nice Brazos and started shooting a G35.

    Now we're getting rid of Glock all together and going with M&P 40's.

    I sure would like to see a 5 inch 40, too.

    Yep, I got rid of my Glocks too. All I shoot now are M&P's! 9 fullsize, 9L, 9c, and Fullsize 45.

    Is it still too early to start wondering if a .22 conversion is in the works? If S&W isn't interested then maybe an independent company is?

    I'm looking to pick up another production gun. Due to the price of ammo, the availability of a .22 conversion is something I'm factoring into the decision-making process. (I'll probably ask the same question about the GP6 on another thread, too.)

    Rumors heard that Tactical Solutions talked about making one next year.

    .356 9mm vs .355 9mm

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Anybody have any input on this? Would shooting a 9mm .356 Zero 125gr. JHP be ok, versus the .355 Zero 124gr. JHP in the M&P 9mm er’s? I know they list .356 125gr. as 38 super, but does it matter. Can the .356 be used? Any issues? Would one be better than the other? I know that when I had my race gun (9x23) I shot the .356 125gr. out of it and it was more accurate. Could this apply in a standard 9mm barrel as well?

    Thanks,

    $35 for a mag that works as you take it out of the package is really reasonable IMO, if they are durable and hold up long term that is a steal.

    They are factory smith and wesson m&P mags (from Midway USA). By the way. they are listed in the new Brownells catalog #61 too.

    How is it going Howard? have not seen you in a awhile. PM sent!

    Outside of a trigger job, some grip tape (or stippling) changing to better sights of your preference, maybe a tungsten guide rod, and a recoil spring tuned to your loads, not much needs to be done (or can be done because of the rules) to make it competitive in Production. Speaking of which, I was wondering if the basepads from the M&P Compact used on my fullsize gun would be legal for Production. I'm not real big and 4 or 5 mags on the belt gets a little crowded, smaller basepads would help.

    Does anybody have an answer for the base pad question. I would like to know too!

    Thanks,

    I emailed this to Julie Goloski a couple of weeks ago and got this answer.

    Julie,

    I just bought a M&P9L and since you shoot for Smith and Wesson I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Has Smith and Wesson sold the required number of the M&P9L's to become legal for USPSA Production class? If so, do you know when this could happen? Any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,

    Dan

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for the email. We have not hit the numbers yet. Unfortunately USPSA won’t let us combine the number for the longslides even though the only differences are the sights, trigger job and the serration style on the slide. We should be on track to be legal by Springtime and hopefully sooner. We may hit numbers as early as February. Basically S&W makes what we receive orders for from dealers/distributors.

    I wish I had better news. I know everyone is anxious to shoot them. As soon as we meet the numbers, I will be submitting the paperwork to USPSA.

    Wishing you a happy holiday season!

    Julie
