Not mine and not talking about the weapons, but.... want.

That's pretty damn sweet. Looks like it'd be pretty easy to build too.

Went after work today and ran 50 rds. through it. The damn thing is sooo comfortable to shoot, night and day compared to my PF9. Very accurate to be so small too. We were shooting 32 oz. Gatorade bottles and a couple of those 12oz. Mtn. Dew bottles at around 15+ yds. (just stepped it off) with little trouble.

Mine as well post a blurry pic of muh bed buddy too, Mossberg 20ga. w/18.5 in. barrel and PT sporter stock. Very comfortable to shoot.

Sweet! This is on my short list for next purchase. What did you think of the break down and cleaning process?

It's really, really easy. It does have a little yellow safety lever you have to engage through the chamber port with a small tool (I use a Capri Sun straw lol, works well for lots of stuff) after you lock the slide open before the slide will come off, only takes a second to do but I find it unnecessary. The slide, barrel and chamber (amongst other parts) are all melonite coated so they clean up really well. Other than the little lever thing, I can't think of really anything I don't love about it.

Excellent. Does this little lever cause any issues during reassembly? Reminds me slightly of reassembling my old 1911.

I got some German & Russian firepower for anybody wanting to test my home defense BEEAATTCHH!!

Have that same Walther p-38, mines a war made model w/ AC43 stamped on w/ the weirmacht stamps too. Your looks like a post war model. Germans knew how to make guns.

LIKE IT! Very good idea, got me thinking today.

Not at all, you just put it back together like any other newer pistol and the lever is automatically locked back in place just by putting the magazine back in the magazine well. Easy peasy. It's a really trivial complaint I guess, but I've never been all that crazy having to have a tool to break down my carry gun. You could prolly do it with your finger but I'm not a big fan of sticking my fingers in the port with it under pressure. The recoil springs are pretty damn stout on this thing.

That makes me a bit reluctant as well. I'm used to super simple Glocks. But I am a big fan of S&W's M&P line. I think I should just bite the bullet and get one (a Shield).... maybe if I "give" the Wife one of the Glocks she won't be too mad.

I just give my wife the ol', "This one's better than my other guns and I only want the best when it comes to protecting our family." every time I get another gun.

Hickok shows the break down process in his review. You can see how the lever deal works.

I could (and have) watch his videos for hours.

I bit late to the party. Just noticed there was even a "Guns and Shooting" category here. Lol.

Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport:

Sig Sauer P220 Elite Dark TB

Coincidentally enough, I looked at a M&P 15 today. Dude wouldn't come any lower than $1549 so I left empty handed. I would like to have one just not quite THAT bad yet. I do think I'm going to order a Hi Point 9mm Carbine pretty soon. They're fun as hell to shoot and only run around $300.

I got mine for $649, out the door, BUT... mine is the "Sport" model. Basically, an M&P 15 without a dust cover, or a forward assist. Considering I don't plan on crawling around the desert anytime soon, I went with it. And it's actually a fantastic rifle. I had an old Rock River AR a few years back, but, due to some financial problems, had to sell it. Once back on my feet, I put all my money into the pistol (which I LOVE). Shortly after... my local shop was running a special on the M&P Sport and I couldn't pass it up!

I may throw a new upper on it, if the the mood catches me (and the bank account allows. Lol). But, I gotta tell ya... for the money you can't beat it! Highly recommend checking one out, if you can.

I was surprised by how good the ergonomics were on these. Pretty fun weapon right dar.
I thought changing out a magazine on these would be awkward but it is actually smoother and easier than on an M4-type platform.

I haven't got to shoot his yet. Hoping too at some point though.

I figure for $1600+, it better be fun as fuck to shoot.
