Threeper’s submitted pocket dumps before and does like to keep the black theme going. This time he has a new Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 chambered in .40 S&W. He says it’s so new he doesn’t even have a holster for it yet. Full disclosure? Many years ago my first carry gun was a .40 […]
For twenty years now I’ve looked for an arthritis sufferer-friendly pistol for my mom. Without the strength to rack a slide, she can’t operate semi-autos. Add to that her inability to pull a double-action revolver’s trigger — or even cock a revolver without significant difficulty — and her options are pretty limited. What’s more, she’s not […]

Nothing pisses me off more than getting a new pistol shipped from the factory with a crappy trigger. To wit, my new S&W M&P45c. I picked this gun up because the Sheriff’s Office I work for mandates we carry a .40 or .45. Unfortunately, when I moved back to Montana, I only had 9’s, 10’s […]
I fired a .40 Caliber Smith & Wesson M&P last night. Alex, an EMT from Russia, carries one. He like very much the gun because is incredibly light, bullets aren’t cheap, they rip terrific holes in people and grip swaps in seconds (Alex has small hands). The Zytel and Melonite weapon’s too light for my […]
