The only thing better than BT Sniper swaging dies for swaging is Chuckbuster's custom chop saw for trimming brass. I'm not sure is Chuckbuster is still making them but you can send him a PM and find...
Hated my S&W Shield .40, dislike my Kahr MK40 Elite, love my Sig Sauer P239 .40 and my Sig Sauer Traditional Match Elite Stainless .40 S&W 1911 is an outstanding target pistol. I have had several...

I would never consider carrying a gun inside a persons home without their consent.
Called S&W again and they said still a month or two before we see spare mags for sale. Just noticed a guy on gunbroker selling the 7 round magazine so I bought a couple ;-)

The Lee Bulge Buster setup and CasePro roll sizer both return the web of the brass to their proper dimensions. To each their own.
For those of you that have purchased one of these pistols, I finally got some good news last night.
Of course, just like the other S&W Shields, the pistol comes with 1 flat based magazine and 1...

Hello Leon. I could never get any consistency with the Shield .40 at all. I sometimes carry my all metal Sig Sauer P239 and have no problem with 10" groups at 15 yards when I bring it to the...
My Shield .40 had an absolutely terrible trigger in it. I know that I could have had it customized and improved but I also didn't like the way it handled the recoil from carry ammo. The sole...
Many thanks to all for the kind words & prayers. Had my PET scan yesterday and will find out on Monday if the Chemo is doing any good at all.
On a more favorable subject, there is nothing better...
Here is a size comparison of the new .45 as compared to the 9mm and .40 S&W versions of the gun.
.45 ACP MODEL
9MM/.40 S&W MODELS
barrel length
Slide rack force on the 45acp is about the same or a tad less than the .40, if I remember correctly. As far as controllability, I would say the 45acp is a bit easier to control. I did not bring any...
I received my new S&W Shield 45acp last Friday but right in the middle of my Chemo cycle. I finally brought it to the indoor range last Wednesday night and my wife and I put about 300 rounds thru...

case opening/neck tension on a .380 brass case is controlled by the web of the brass. Measure the web area of the brass after you have run the brass case thru the sizing die; should be 0.374" or...
From what I have read, the primers will eventually pop out because the outside of the round is in a vacuum and there is pressure sealed inside the round.
I bought some ammo years ago from Fiocchi...

Thank you for your response. My wife and I have discussed the guns in detail since the bad news from the Dr. My youngest brother may be interested in a few, my wife wants to keep her favorites, but...

Thank you for your response. That is a very good idea and I will reach out to my local close friends to see what they think and if they would be willing to help.
