Yeah, I bet he threw those shorts away.

Sounds like your daughter is a smart one!!

[smokingfrog]

I like it!

What’s the allen wrench for?

[Springman]

He was posting Motorhead videos to Slings and Arrows this afternoon.

Thanks. What worries me now is the recoil that poor little $40 scope is trying to take. After that range trip, I removed the sight, used the good blue Loctite on the screw threads, and re-mounted it. Let it cure good, then went back to the range a few days later to do a re-sight-in.

I fired quite a few more rounds this time, and after the last group (photo below) I noticed the flyer at 9:00 o'clock. Looked down at the scope, and it had moved. Reaction to recoil is pushing it forward. It had even pulled the barrel bands cockeyed, as a result of the sight trying to force the upper handguard forward. Scratching my head for a solution to this one!

[davetex]

I’m not sure about the allen wrench. Maybe for mounting the laser and adjusting retention on the holster.

I do like the extra mag on the holster, but I bet it’s pretty heavy on the belt with a full load.

[davetex]

Still, it’s a good group and a good deal.

And walking on all fours.

Not bad. What kind of ammo were you using?

It would be interesting to see if a heavy bullet would tighten it up (my experience has been that the heavier bullets are more consistent at 100 yards 182gr “Yellow Tip”).

[deoetdoctrinae]

I'm certain you are correct that I could do better with a heavier bullet. These were some of the old 147 grain Russian mil-surp rounds. They're reliable, and I love'em cause they're so doggone cheap, but a better and heavier round would probably give me tighter groups.

Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to keep that Red Dot from sliding on the dovetail. LOL.

[2111USMC]

Hmmmm...

For what it’s worth, my barrel bands shift from heavy shooting with just the plain iron sights.

[deoetdoctrinae]

On this one, the Red Dot sight had actually slid forward and butted up against the upper handguard. Then, I guess when a round was fired, the sight pushed the handguard forward, which made the barrel rings twist cockeyed.

Maybe I can find a skilled welder (who knows not to overheat the barrel), and get him to weld a small stop of some kind on top of the barrel, so the sight could go "this far and no farther". I dunno, still thinking. But I do like the sight itself. Pretty neat.

Packing it in for the night. Have a good evening.

[davetex]

Anyone looking for an XD9 or XD40?

I picked up another 40 yesterday from here:

[2111USMC]

You too.

I also have to get up at o-dark-thirty.

[smokingfrog]

They seem to have pretty good prices.

[davetex]

Yeah they do. The owner of the shop was super responsive, sent me an e-mail in 10 min. Shipped on Tuesday, received by FFL ( http://oldcannon.com )on Saturday am. In my hands Saturday pm.

I joke that I have to drive all the way on the other side of Pflugerville to get to FFL. It takes about 10 min.

LOL

Introducing the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield

Almost as nice as my CM9.

[davetex]

I wouldn’t mind having the M&P or the Kahr.

Both are good carry guns.

What holster do you use for the CM?
