Mongo confused....me wike cake!!!!
-
I havn't had the opportunity to shoot a hangun with a scope mounted on it yet, but would like to. I have put some thought into slide mounted versus frame mounted and this is just my $.02 anyway. Being that the slide and the frame are in direct contact it would not matter either way simply because if your are using PF high enough to cause muzzle rise then either sight will rise regardless off mounting. In lower PF since the slide would tend to just come back and forward without much rise anyway and since the dot and the target are on the same visual plane there would not be much distortion on either mounting option. Just me thinking logically, not from experience.

help those of us who are vocabulary challenged...what is foxing?
I think he means focusing.

What hand and eye are you using?

Actually, the rules don't say that the mag can not hit the dirt, they say that you must retain a mag changed with the slide forward. One (very slow) method for doing this is to do your speed reload and then pickup and pocket the dropped mag.
Or practice really hard and do a speed reload, then catch the mag as it drops a la JJ Racaza, stow it, and move on.
Wow would like to see somebody do that.....man you gotta be fast as hail!!!!

What is this "moon clip" that you speak of? Is it for the New, Crescent, or Full Moon?
What does it do? Is this some special metalcraft item from midieval times? 
Phasing is optional. It’s largely a decorative item used these days (by some of us) to keep our brass together so we don’t lose so much of it.
Brass magnets have become very rare and obscenely expensive, so the fine folks at Hearthco developed a special product from the relatively new alloy “Unobtainium”.
When fashioned into the proper shape and form they take on characteristics that are nearly indistinguishable from Magic.
Would you like to try one in your gun(s)?
I'm sorry the only things that hold any type of brass in my gun is a long rectangular shaped object sometimes made of metal or metal and polymer called a magazine. This must be some special magic!!!!
Maybe one day when I get much older I will purchase a gun capable of utilizing this strange magical moon device!!!!

This may be a dumb question, but here goes anyway. Since my M&P has "Novak" rear sights does this mean I can use any Novak sights, even if they are labled for 1911's or do I have to get one especially for the M&P?

Finally the butter hath melted on the caterpillar and all attempts at transmogrification have been conducted into tyrannical algorythms!!!!

Thanks I appreciate all the responses.

SORRY I duplicated because of the forum glitch. Please remove. And If I have the ability to remove my own posts just let me know.

FINALLY----- The butter has melted on the caterpillar and the way of the word has become a multifaceted endless algorythm.
Who woulda ever thunk it?

So is it a half, full, or new moon clip?
And what the hell you need a clip for the moon anyways? Is this like some ancient piece of metalcraft from midieval times or what???? -
Yes Please....Thanks!!

Just wanted to introduce myself. It looks like I may be hanging around for awhile since this is the best practical shooting forum I have found. My name is Robert and I am a firearms instructor for the State of Alaska Dept. of Corrections. I shoot a duty issued Glock 22, but also own a Smith & Wesson M&P. I belong to IDPA, and will belong to USPSA shortly. This last weekend there was an IDPA match on Saturday and a USPSA match on Sunday, it was a GREAT weekend. Didn't shoot as well as I thought I was going to, but first time and besides I had more fun just getting to shoot some awesome CoF. I plan on getting competitive within a year or two so I hope to see some of you at your clubs.

I tried that in IDPA and got dinged with a 'failure to do right' or some such thing because I wasn't behind cover when I dropped the empty mag and inserted a fresh mag. I have only shot IDPA a couple times and do not understand the rules, I don't want to tell you what you can and can't do either. Just be sure to ask around and talk to the more experienced shooters before bringing out a new idea in a match, it might be costly if you don't.
Smith:
2 Procedurals would have been more correct - must reload behind cover, and NO speed reloads allowed at all. An FTDR would be more correct if you seemed to insist on continually breaking the rules
Pitt:
What you describe is a speed reload (even if the mag is empty) and is verboten in IDPA. Don't do it. You will earn a PE (3s), and maybe an FTDR (20s). Anytime you reload with the slide in battery, you must do a tac or RWR. Only exception is if you are clearing a malfunction.
The idea is that you are in a gun fight and 1) won't be counting rounds so you will shoot until slide lock, and 2) if there is a break in the action, you will reload the gun and not leave mags/ammo laying around since they might be used against you or you may need them later.
You may or may not agree, them's the rules, and that's why them's the rules.
Hmm now this is strange and I am confused, I wonder if the club I shoot at is allowing illegal mag changes. I just recently shot at my first IDPA match. I did a speed load from cover but had rounds in the dropped mag for which I received a procedural penalty. After this was explained to me I was then advised that I could speed load an empty mag even if I had a round in the chamber as long as I "racked" that live round out thus putting the first round of the fresh mag in. The next CoF I did just that and received no penalties. Is this illegal or not? Of course the next day I participated in my first USPSA match and was happily excited to find out that I didn't have to worry about specific mag changes, not that I dislike the IDPA rules, I just had to get into a different mindset.

I recently bought an M&P and love it, except for a small (although some may say big) problem. I am a Firearms Instructor for the State of Alaska DOC, I have also recently started shooting IDPA and USPSA with my duty issue Glock 22, but would love to use MY M&P. With my Glock I shoot about a 2.5" grouping at 25 yds. standing no barricade. I shot my M&P straight out of the box and also shot a 2.5 - 3" grouping, but here is the problem - the grouping was 4" right and 6" down from center. The first thing I played with was my trigger squeeze, nothing wrong there because the groupings were too tight. Next I moved the sight, I lined the left side of the sight even with the cut of the slide thereby moving it left about 1/16". This should have eliminated the right sided hits, but alas it did not. It still shot the exact same place. Next I compensated by aiming at the upper left of the target and viola, center hits. Now I am a Glock armorer, but not a gunsmith so I really do not know what to do other than A. Send it back, which I am not very excited about that, B. Just aim high left - which is silly, or C. Take it to a gunsmith? Which may be spendy and ultimately unneccessary. Well the other day I thought hey why don't I look at the orientation of the barrell sitting in the slide. So being as safe as possible I looked at the business end of my gun and saw something that I think is peculiar. The barrel sets low and left (as you look at it from the muzzle side). There is a large gap between the top of the barrell and slide on the top and upper right. I had two diiferent people look at this and one saide my gun is screwed up, the other said that the gap is there to allow the slide to move without impeding or rubbing the barrel. This problem is not apparent at 5 yds and in, but 5 yds. and out it gets worse. Should I let a smithy look at it or go through the long and gunless process of sending it back to S&W?
What does it do? Is this some special metalcraft item from midieval times?
