There isn't a 3x5, I'm not really sure why they don't run it with one. My 3.74 time was with a 3x5 and concealment (PPQ in a Dale Fricke holster AIWB), but again, I guess I don't see how that is so...
I totally understand, I'm not upset at all. I ran a 3.74 FAST on 6-06-12. I ran a 1.8 Bill Drill the same day during the 7m portion of the HCST (I scored a 167 overall). I can tell you exactly were...
edit: nevermind. I'm out.
Thanks JHC! I hope it works out like I hope, all I can do is try. If not, I can always blame it on the M&P's :D
It is pretty simple to me really. The PPQ is awesome, but I just had to pay $80 for a gunsmith to work on the gun AND find a spare part. The gun was down for 3 weeks with a simple issue dealing with...
I'm not really referring to match stress, as I have actually found that I shoot very similar in a match vs. what I do on the range (I've been the most accurate shooter in 1 club match and in my...
I woke up today with almost nothing to do, and read a bunch of various reviews and opinions all over the web about the KKM drop in barrels. Everyone, with the exception of a few people in this...
LMAO! That was hilarious and so true. The one that gets me every time is sequence and order.
If we are talking about competition development, then the truth is that the mental game is extremely important. I'm an IDPA Marksman but I have ran a 3.74 FAST, 1.8 Bill Drill, and a 280 FBI Qual in...
7 and 10 yard accuracy, even on 3x5's, even with a crappy gun is super easy and can be done at lightning speed. All you need is a straight barrel and a trigger. Unless you are shooting 1" dots 2...
Well, I'm in the M&P crowd now so I guess I'll wait it out. I'll call and/or email Apex soon and post what they tell me about the barrel.
Does anyone know when the fitted barrel will be available from Apex? Like a realistic timeline?
Shot mine again SHO, got a 2" group standing at 15m w/115g CCI Blazer. I think this one is going to be good to go.
Didn't try 25m, don't have a rest and the gun would outshoot me.
Wow, S&W REALLY took an excellent design and found a way to make it suck at first. I really do feel that I can get some promising results out of the new 2012 barrel, but the older barrels were...
Todd, thanks for the response! I definitely agree, i think until my arm heals doing much actual testing is useless because I can't really get a true idea of the GUNS ability. Plus, I'm still trying...
Yeah, dumb idea on my part I guess. I have no doubt I can get some 8" groups at 25m SHO, but it definitely wouldn't be scientific because of the obvious difficulty (for me) with one hand.
So you...
Thanks for the advice! I'm going to go to LGS tomorrow and pick up loads from 115 to 147 and see what it likes best, and I'll probably continue to use 15m as the testing distance since I am 1 handed....
The ergos and aftermarket support is what has sold me on this series of pistols. The PPQ is still the best 9mm on the market IMO when it comes to out of the box performance, but stock sights and...
My basis is from reading reviews in this thread, seeing guys like 10-8 review it, and my experience with both of mine I've owned (I have 3rd coming soon too from a member here, I'm assuming it also...
Hey, just tested this M&P9 Pro out and within 100 rounds/40m of shooting, I have gotten several 2.5" groups at 15m SHO standing with cheap practice ammo. I'll admit it took me about 75 rounds to get...
I really, REALLY doubt that new production M&P's are averaging 8" groups at 25m. Most people are getting 2-3" groups at 25m.
I'm testing an M&P9 Pro today that I bought yesterday, it has the 2012...
My opinion: it matters little which gun you buy as long as it is has a similar action to the one you have used. Any striker fired gun (minus the LEM) would be easy for me to shoot very well, and I...
I completely agree. I own 2 PPQ's and they are excellent guns. In fact, the gun itself is definitely the best 9mm I've found.
The negatives to me are that they don't make a compact size for carry...
Well, I've shot the PPQ since January and for the most part I love them. One thing that is very annoying as a competition shooter is the lack of aftermarket accessories, and the fact that I have to...
